We had our 29th Anniversary here. They did not disappoint in any aspect. They asked us if we were celebrating something special, and when they found out, the server and several other workers signed a card congratulating us. Can I just say that the Filet mignon was the most tender and perfectly cooked steak I have ever eaten. The Mac and cheese was a meal in itself! Additionally, the bartender makes an unmatched Old Fashioned which perfectly paired with the filet. Highly recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, service and quality of food and drinks. A must try!

As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by the bar lined with an impressive bourbon selection. I was promptly welcomed by the lovely hostess, checked in, and seated right away. A reservation is definitely recommended.
Once seated, Emily—my server and also one of the bartenders—came over to take my drink order. She immediately noticed I had an outdated half-price bourbon list, brought me an updated one, and suggested High West Campfire. Great choice. Her knowledge of bourbon is extensive, which is impressive, especially for California.
John soon brought out a warm loaf of bread with incredible house-made butter infused with honey and orange. He came by several times throughout my meal, refilling water and checking on me as well as other guests, providing outstanding service.
I ordered the prime rib, and while waiting I had a perfect view of Chef Gem carefully inspecting each plate before it left the kitchen—his attention to detail ensured everything was beautifully presented. When my meal arrived, Emily checked in right away to make sure everything was to my liking. The prime rib was cooked to perfection—absolutely delicious.
Although I was stuffed, John brought me the dessert menu. I couldn’t resist ordering the chocolate cake to go. WOW—amazing.
Overall, Bourbon & Bull has been the best dining experience I’ve had during my three weeks in San Diego. The service, food, and atmosphere were all top-notch. I highly recommend making a reservation and asking for Emily—she’s a true superstar. Before I left, Jared the manager even stopped by to ensure everything met my expectations. I told them they went above and beyond. Thank you!

Upon arrival, we were greeted by wonderful and friendly ladies and were immediately seated in the area I specifically requested. This wasn’t my first time here, but I can confidently say it was the best visit yet. The restaurant is absolutely immaculate, clean, and has such a relaxing atmosphere—it’s beautiful!

Every staff member was attentive and friendly. Our server, Daniel J., was superb! He was incredibly attentive, made sure our drinks were always filled, and cleaned the table between courses. He made us feel right at home, almost as if we were having Christmas dinner in our own home. We are “well done” steak people, and he didn’t judge us for that. Lol.

The service from Daniel was top-notch! The food was absolutely delicious and on point. We had shrimp wrapped in bacon, onion soup, wedge salad, ribeye, filet mignon, carrots, twice-baked potato, and banana foster. OMG, everything was fantastic! The meat was cooked to perfection, and even though we asked for well done, it was incredibly tender. The filet mignon was like butter!

Compliments to the chef for that evening—everything was to die for! The banana foster was the best I’ve ever had; it wasn’t overly sweet. We opted to skip the tableside show for the banana foster because it was Christmas and the restaurant was getting busy, but next time we will definitely do the show!

I was just so impressed with everything! If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would, and I don’t hand out stars lightly. Thank you for making our Christmas a wonderful experience! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

I should have read the reviews before dining here. From the moment we arrived, the host was unwelcoming and appeared completely uninterested. After being seated, we waited nearly minutes before finally flagging someone down for service even though the restaurant was empty, with only one other party. We even had to ask for the complimentary bread, which was then delivered to another table that had just been seated.

We ordered the lobster pasta, which arrived cold and completely flavorless. The “ribeye” was clearly low quality and did not match what was advertised on the menu. When we brought this to our server’s attention, he seemed surprised that we even noticed the poor quality. Outside of that, the server did not return to our table to check on us or see if we needed anything.

Although there were plenty of staff members working, customer service clearly was not a priority. Even the drinks took an unusually long time because the bartender was more focused on chatting with staff than serving guests. I took a photo of my drink because it was only filled about halfway when served.

This experience was absolutely not worth the $200+ we spent. Take the reviews seriously and dine elsewhere. There are far better restaurants in San Diego that offer both quality food and attentive service.

This restaurant advertised digitally through Sycuan Hotel Casino, its called Bull & Bourbon Steakhouse. The flyer states that there is a 3-course steak and lobster meal for $55 every Wednesday and Thursday. However, when we visited on Thursday, our reservation day, they told us it was no longer available and that we needed to order from the regular menu at a price of $110.

I don’t understand why they are still circulating this advertisement if the offer is not available. This is misleading and not right. If they are not serving that promotion, they should remove it from the Sycuan site. Such advertising can be considered deceptive under California law, which emphasizes honest business practices.

Below: As of 2026, California has continued to strengthen its regulations against misleading advertisements in restaurants. The key aspects of the new laws include:

4. **Digital and Online Advertising Oversight:** Laws now extend to online menus, mobile apps, and digital advertising platforms, ensuring that all promotional content adheres to truthful marketing standards.

5. **Consumer Rights Protections:** Consumers have greater access to complaint processes and remedies if they believe they’ve been misled by restaurant advertisements.

These laws aim to promote honesty and integrity in food marketing, helping consumers make better-informed decisions. For specific details or legal advice, consulting California’s official legislative resources or legal professionals is recommended.

This experience was indeed one of the best we’ve had thus far! From easily Getting a reservation on the open table app to finding the restaurant and immediately being seated, everything flowed perfectly! We were seated at what seemed to be a VIP table(round table for 6 yet there were only 2 of us ) with a beautiful window view of the pool and mountains! We had seen an advertisement about a Sunday surf and turf special which was what led us to this place. Our server was Daniel and the back waiter was Perla. They were excellent! Perla even brought us an extra serving of the complementary Honey and cranberry butter bread. An extra serving of bread can make all the difference! It is delicious. The bread alone is reason enough to stop by but we didn’t stop there. We ordered the surf and turf special, baked potato soup, a twice baked potato and the wedge salad. We just had to try a little bit of everything! It all was made to perfection, especially the steak. Cooked medium, rare and seasoned just right. The goddess dressing on the salad is amazing. We tried a Paloma cocktail recommended by Daniel and also had the chocolate layered cake for dessert which is included with the surf and turf order. They not only cleared our table but also cleaned it after each course! The service was extraordinary! Great dining experience! Well worth the money!

My friend took me here for their $55 Surf& Turf special that is available on Wed and Thurs nights. It was a three course meal for $55. First course was a choice of soup or salad. The main course was with a small steak, large lobster tail, mashed potatoes, and grilled carrots. The third course was a delicious chocolate cake.

They opened at 5pm and there were people already in line at that time. We sat at the bar this time so no reservations were needed.

The two bartenders were busy making drinks non-stop the whole two hours we were there. Service was great and we were entertained at the same time. Will definitely come back again and sit at the bar.

The lobster tail was rubbery and did not taste fresh. It was overdone and it wasn’t served with melted butter either. The t bone steak was tasty and cooked nicely, but worth $80? The crème brûlée was top notch. It may have been the best crème brûlée I have ever had. Leyla our server was very nice, if not as attentive as she could have been, but I counted eight table she was working and a party of 10 was demanding much of her time. She deserved a nice tip. Otherwise a very nice atmosphere and overall good experience. I did learn a lesson as to not order lobster in this steakhouse. But would order the excellent crème brûlée again. It was over two fifty for two people, and this was after we even shared the entree and desert . You could easily spend over$200 a person here.

Wanted to love this. Was so looking forward to a good steak, unfortunately I’d say subpar steak with inattentive service even though near empty tables. The loudest people in the restaurant were the workers laughing and carrying on gathered by the bar. The waitress didn’t return to ask about our meal after the food was given. I would’ve returned the ribeye (uneven cooking, too much of thr fat rendered out, huge strip of grissel, etc). After waiting much too long, I had to ask the maitre d for salt and just ate it as is. We didn’t see the waitress again until it was time to pay. I let her know I would’ve returned the steak if she had come to ask how things were, and she then offered to take it back, but we were ready to leave. Around 1 hr time for the meal. No wait, near empty restaurant. Dark, fancy, romantic atmosphere. For the food and service, however: 1 star. My wife did like her filet but said she’d never come back. The bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp appetizer was the best thing we ate. I wouldn’t come here for the steak again. We had the shrimp appetizer, ribeye, filet, house salad, potato soup, steak fries, and mushrooms for $165.

Very expensive steakhouse, which is okay I will take it for a top of the line steak. I visited this place a couple of years ago and went today, there was a drop in the quality of food. We ordered the tomahawk steak medium stew, which was not very tender and too much fat in it. For the appetizers, we ordered the wedge salad which was a small portion compared to my previous experience.
The restaurant is at a great location and very well maintained and decorated though. Also the waiter was a little bit pushy in her way to make us order the food and at the end to pay the bill.
