My wife and I both ordered the same steak omelet. The only complaint was the steak in the omelet was very bland which took away from the dish as a whole, but everything else like the eggs, veggies, potatoes, and sauce was great. It was cooked perfect as well. We’ll definitely eat here again.
My husband and I went here last night for our 15th anniversary. There was no wait time because we lucked out and someone had just left a two person table because “it was too loud”. Loud it was, my friends. From 4 different massive big screen tvs all sitting within feet of each other, to music overhead, and loud parties of people…the noise level was that of a bar. I am not exaggerating. We could not hear each other; and my very affable and gregarious husband is the one who was most perturbed.
Our experience with food started off with the man sitting next to us sending his plate back for something “unacceptable” and “I can’t eat that”. I could not overhear anything else. It took them another 20 minutes to reserve him while his wife waited – with her food in front of her.
Next, we ordered the fried green tomatoes as our appetizer, a bourbon, and a Perrier. Ok. They were “out” of Perrier. So I got water from the tap that sparkled. Fine. However, when my husband’s $16 bourbon came, there was an ice cube taking up the entire glass and not even a full shot of bourbon: for $16. I repeat. $16 for less than a shot of bourbon. The fried green tomatoes were DELICIOUS, however, there were only three small slices of a tomato for $15. $5 a slice. Laughable. Fine. What was not fine was yet to come.
My husband ordered the short ribs and I ordered the chicken. The ribs were not on the bone, so it looked like it was two chunks of pot roast. Tasted “okay”: he says it had a “rubbery consistency” and “overcooked” (which seems to be the top complaint of their food after reading reviews this morning). Now, my chicken promised “carmelized onions” and ”roasted garlic au jus”. Not only were they both absent (which is why I ordered it : I am a fiend for carmelized onions and garlic), the chicken breast was torn open across the top of it and it was the single most bland breast I’ve ever tasted. No salt, onion, garlic, spices. Nothing. The “mashed potatoes” were small potatoes smashed at the bottom of the plate with no butter, salt, whipping…nothing. The “seasonal” vegetables were zucchini and yellow squash – in February. They sat in what I assume was supposed to be the “au jus broth” but generally au jus broths are used to add real roasted garlic, depth, and flavor to a dish and this had zero. So, a chicken breast on top of a soupy mess, essentially. Fine.
What took me over the edge was going into the “progressive” “Both Genders” bathroom. Sir, please hear me. Men have bathrooms and urinals because of their anatomy – they have a difficult time “hitting” the toilet water, which was evidenced by the urine stream left on the front of the seat. Yes, I can assume a male did it because our female anatomy doesn’t allow our stream to project forwards (sorry tmi). But gross. I’m at an upscale restaurant with urine on the seat!
We looked at the dessert menu but decided not to get anything since everything else wasn’t worth the taste or price point.
They also weren’t seating people outside because “the mosquitoes were too bad”. Every outdoors restaurant I’ve been at knows how to repel mosquitos, but this place was not set up to do so. The hostess had to turn away countless customers because there wasn’t enough seating (it’s small).
On a brighter note: our server was a doll. I wish I could name drop, but I did not catch her name. Cute brunette with dimples. One thing I watch for at an upscale restaurant is refilling waters regularly and checking on customers and she accomplished that; along with a bright attitude. She got a handsome tip because hey, none of the above was her fault.
Sorry, Bourbon Kitchen. I’m really sorry to leave this review, sincerely.
The service was a bit slow. I wasn’t sure if they were understaffed or if the waitress was new. We ordered the angry mussels and the braised short ribs. After 10 minutes, the waitress informed us that they were out of mussels, so we opted for shrimp instead.
I’m not sure why they didn’t know they were out of mussels and we had to wait 10 minutes after ordering. The food did take a while to arrive. There were about four seated couples and a few people at the bar.
I gave the service a mid-For rating and the food an excellent rating. Overall, it must have been a rough night for them since it was a Tuesday. The food was delicious, though.
The appetizers were amazing!!!!!!! The pickled ginger with the ahi app was probably the most amazing I’ve ever tasted (I’ve tried a billion) and really really worked wonderfully in the dish. The Ahi and avocado on toast was so delicious, creamy and wonderfully seasoned. The charcuterie board was lovely and plentifully for the three of us to get a taste of everything without filing up before dinner.
The grilled salmon was cooked to perfection although the orzo was a bit too acidic for me, which is a shocker since I usually want more. There was a lot of fats in the orzo that I think they were trying to cut through, which also made it kinda heavy.
My companion raved about the burger and I stole a garlic fry and they were nice, especially with the house made ranch.
The seared Ahi entree was lovely as well. The ahi was fresh, tender and not over seared. The rice cake was flavorful and rich with umami and floral notes.
