I cannot recommend this restaurant. Our server, Miranda, was wonderful, but the food was not worth the money. The tiger shrimp app was a joke. Tiger shrimp are known for their large size and distinctive black and white stripes. The app had 5 very small, average and bland shrimp. The slaw flavor was odd. The Brussel sprouts were good, but not hot off the grill. My son liked his beef ragu but my crab cakes we awful. No lump crab, more generic frozen. And mushy!! No crust, except the burned exterior.
The restaurant was very kind to gift us a birthday desert, and it was good. Creme brulee cheesecake. Likewise, the two cocktails were delicious.
With a generous tip, this meal was $150 for two people. Yes, the service was good and we tipped accordingly, but the food was mediocre. I am really disappointed with this experience.

This was good. Very nice vibe, service was excellent despite our mains coming while still finishing our appetizers. The tuna tartare was very good and my short rib ragu was tasty as well. Hubs enjoyed the brussel sprouts and the truffle prosciutto pasta. We’ll return to try the burgers. They looked amazing!

We had dinner here before a show at the Arnoff. The cocktails we had were delicious! We had the Bourbon Espresso Martini and the Tropical Turnaround. Our food was amazing as well. I could have made a meal of our brussel sprouts appetizer. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, the service was fast and the staff was very kind.

Great food and a nice atmosphere but pricey and everything costs extra. There are no sides included with the entrees. Portions are small. Only the burgers come with a small side of fries. $8 for bread.
We ordered the Gouda burger ($20) and wild mushroom truffle spaghetti with prosciutto crumbles. Both tasted great but $27 pasta should include a side.
Service was good considering they had a large group to serve as well.

Overall an excellent dinner experience. House crafted Old Fashioned was very good, as the namesake suggests. Chicken and waffles was just shy of the best I’ve ever had. The only constructive criticism I can share is that the granulated sugar crystals in the waffles was too much sugar and unpleasant. But that hot honey chicken was 10/10 perfection. Head chef was not available to talk, so I’m not sure if the sugar crystals is a normal part of the recipe. Will return when back in Cincinnati.

Was a walk-in pretty early in the evening with lots of tables open. Was told by the hostess she didn’t have any tables open, as they were all reserved for people.
We were getting ready to walk out to find somewhere else to eat, and the manager came over. He pointed to the hostess that somebody was a no-show and to give us that table. Which we appreciated. She did not seem too happy that he told her to seats us.
Otherwise, we got the flirtini, coronas, and the pesto burrata. Which were all fantastic!
The pesto was so good I could literally drink it by itself! Delish!!
I don’t remember our Server’s name, but she was great! We only stayed for an appetizer because the dinner menu was very small and not much to choose from.

Joshua was our server and everything he recommended was absolutely delicious! He even convinced me to try the truffle burger. Not being a truffle fan I was skeptical until I took the first bite. It was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. My husband had the short rib Ragu that was stunningly delicious. A great Manhattan and lovely wine topped the meal. Highly recommended! We will definitely return!

We had an incredible dinner at Bourbon’s Craft Kitchen. The drinks, appetizer, dinner and dessert were all amazing. If Spenser is available as a server I would highly recommend asking to be seated in his section. His service and the food will be the reason we make the 1.5 hour drive to come back.

All packed at 630pm and had to settle for a bar seat. Crowd clearly quickly by 730pm. We order three starters to share for two of us. I liked the crab cakes and wings but not so much the shrimp. Very good selection of beer and will come again.

Upon arriving, Bourbon’s has an upscale look but once inside has a very relaxing atmosphere. Russell was our server and he was amazing from the moment he introduced himself. We started with the Dynamite Shrimp for our appetizer which had just the right amount of kick to it and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. We all had the burgers; All American, Truffle & Gouda and the In -n- Out. Without a doubt, they were the absolute juiciest burgers that were cooked perfectly that I’ve ever had! The truffle aioli was very good as well as the house made pickles, sweet potato waffle fries and the oh so crispy house fries. The White cheddar Mac & cheese was very creamy and then we topped it all off with dessert; triple chocolate cake and the Creme Brulee cheesecake w/ raspberry sauce. There is absolutely nothing not to like about Bourbon’s. It’s situated in downtown Cincinnati and HIGHLY recommended!!!
