    We had a wonderful experience at Bourbon’s last night, one of our go to places for a great meal. Everything from the cocktails, to the apps, dinner and desert were all excellent! Our server was also fantastic, just wish I could remember her name! Highly recommend this gem of a place that I hope will be around for many years to come!

    The salad, main course, and desert all excellent. I would go back just for the French Toast desert. I had a lobster/pasta main course that was excellent, and the goat cheese salad couldn't be beat. Good service on a very busy Valentine night. Parking is the only problem, so allow a little extra time to find a parking spot on or just off the busy Frankfort Ave., and bring an umbrella if it is raining. Highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions where budget is not a consideration.

    We enjoyed dinner with four other couples. We all loved our cocktails and the food was delicious. We ordered the whipped feta, brussels sprouts, and arancini for appetizers. We all agreed we could eat that for our meals and be happy. Delicious. Our main dishes were all just as amazing. My husband and I both ordered the short ribs and loved them. Can’t wait to go back.
