    Another wonderfully cooked meal at Bpurbons Bistro. The Bourbons' porkchop was delicious as always. The filet was fork tender and cooked to perfection. The only complaint was the large parties sitting in the middle of the restaurant. They were extremely loud and competing with each other to be heard. This made a conversation between us almost impossible. As this was not our first time, we know it's also not normal. Just be mindful when going there is a possibility of it being very loud. The service is top tier, and they care about what they do. Highly recommend trying this place.

    Food portions were excellent as well as service! The seating is a bit tight and hard for ppl to get in/out and can over hear conversations. We did enjoy the bourbon flights and dessert too! Bathroom was clean as well. Would be a great nightcap dessert option for sure!
