Bull & Bourbon is a cut above other steakhouses – literally. Our innovative approach to classic steakhouse cuisine makes for a multi-sensory experience. Enjoy steaks prepared on our custom wood burning grill paired with our extensive and hand-selected bourbon menu for flavors that beautifully complement each other. Because we source local coastal California seafood, use steaks cut from our in-house butcher program, and choose select cuts from our on-site aging room, we always start with top-quality ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes. You will always know from where your food has been sourced, and our chefs approach cooking as the true art that it is.

    For having the name bourbon in the name, the bourbon selection is no better than a standard bar. No single barrels or rare pours, and list was smaller than the one available online. Extremely disappointing on that. For the meal itself, the American Waygu Bone-in New York was fantastic and the chocolate cake for dessert was decadent and highly recommend while eating there.

    Steak and lobster dinner included larger-than-expected portions. Salad and soup were delicious and had 5-star presentation. Chocolate cake dessert was a perfect ending to a fantastic meal.

    Great food, great service, really great specials on Sun, Wed & Thur. Our "go-to" fav for steak & Lobster. Always outstanding service. Sunday we went for the prime rib special. We usually split meals here, but this piece of prime rib was huge and neither of us could finish our half!

    My husband and I were disappointed. We ordered the surf & turf special. My husband’s steak was cold, and my steak was very rare even though I asked for medium. By the time the steak came back out after I told them, we had finished the rest of the meal. The knives they have are so dull I had to saw the meat to cut it…I asked for a sharper knife but it was just as dull. I took the steak home. My dogs will have kibbles and turf for breakfast. On a bright note the waitress was really nice.

    We got the prime rib specials. One was good and one was not. We ended up just sharing the one. Mine was a terrible cut of meat or was somehow dried out. I don’t think it was overcooked because it was still pink. It didn’t have any tenderness or juice at all. The sides of zucchini and mashed potatoes were excellent.
