    Excellent food and service. Restaurant is a bit loud and could benefit from a few strategically placed mobile screens to reduce noise without altering the vibe. Overall, outstanding date night location. Will be back!

    We had a wonderful experience at Bourbon’s last night, one of our go to places for a great meal. Everything from the cocktails, to the apps, dinner and desert were all excellent! Our server was also fantastic, just wish I could remember her name! Highly recommend this gem of a place that I hope will be around for many years to come!

    Salmon Cakes were not good. I love fish and eat salmon regularly, but eating the salmon cakes was like drinking blue gill water. It affected my taste for the rest of the night. I almost always order a bread pudding, but I could fathom eating anything else after the salmon cakes . All of that being said, I love Bourbon's Bistro and have always had great experiences there in the past. We'll be back, but the salmon cakes will not be part of our experience.
