This was our first time visiting Bourbon Boulevard and it was definitely an experience. My boyfriend brought me here for an early Mother's Day dinner on a Saturday night, and we really enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The lights were dimmed, which gave the restaurant a cozy vibe I almost fell asleep lol. Since the restaurant is still fairly new, it wasn't too crowded, which made the experience even better. One thing I really liked was that the menu is chef-curated, so the dishes are served as-is and thoughtfully put together. You can really tell there's intention behind the flavors and presentation. For drinks, we ordered a smoked Old Fashioned and a chocolate martini for me, which was absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we tried the Wagyu sliders, and they were juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. For our entrées, my boyfriend ordered the lamb shank over mashed potatoes. The meat literally fell off the bone, and the mashed potatoes soaked up all the lamb juices, giving them so much flavor. I ordered the salmon with broccolini and added chimichurri and garlic butter sauce on top. I loved that they asked how I wanted my salmon cooked. I ordered mine medium well, and it came out perfect. The skin was crispy, theand the broccolini was soft and cooked just right. Our waiter was fun, attentive, and really helpful when it came to choosing drinks and entrées. Overall, we had a good experience. read more

Stumbled upon this place coming to the mall to kill time. Currently serving brunch. When we previewed the menu, had to get ribeye and eggs. Server was great but have bugs to work out, as it was a soft opening. Ordered toast and the server came to tell us that they don't have rye. I also thought he would have offered the liquor menu, as I had to ask for it. Was brought our food but was missing our hash browns. A few minutes after apologies, received our hash browns. Steak and the eggs were perfect. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Really like the atmosphere. Maybe a while to return as I live in CA, but I definitely will be back with hopes to upgrade to 5 stars. read more

Bourbon Boulevard - Steakhouses Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

The entire meal and experience here was such a bland experience. I don't often get disappointed about a restaurant but this place proves to be an exception. To take such beautiful cuts of food and make them so unseasoned and bland it's honestly impressive. Meat and broccolini were both hardly salted and the sauce that came with the salmon dish tasted like nothing. It was almost impressive how nothing had any flavor, especially for how expensive the steakhouse and high quality the place advertises itself to be. The staff also ignored the table next to us and behind us to the point that they just got up and left. Do not waste your money here, there's so much wonderful food in Northern Virginia to choose from instead. read more

Great happy hour, went on a Saturday and they had a happy hour. $5 draft beers, not bad. Had an old fashioned and warm olives. The bartender was decent, very fast service. Will go back to try the food. Bourbon menu is good, wine list is large. Upscale feel with a mellow vibe. read more

Such a lovely experience! We came here for a friends birthday and the wait staff was phenomenal. The ambience is low light but there are mini touch lamps on the tables to aid in menu reading. I had the lobster ravioli which was essentially four hearty ravioli stuffed with lobster and a lobster tail served in a cream sauce with truffles. Perfection. Highly recommend if you're in the Chantilly area to stop in for dinner. read more

This place was recommended so we decided to check it out. We decided to reserve bar seating which turned out to be ok. The bartender that took our drink and food order was Ed. The encounter started off pretty good, he made some good recommendations so we could order the best options. I ordered the Lamb Lollipop with a Caesar Salad and French Onion Soup. The others in my party ordered crab dip, Wagyu Burger which came with fries, beef skewers, brussel sprouts, and escargot. The crab dip didn't really land like it does in Maryland but that was expected. They had a live band that plays in the evening which was a nice touch:) For the most part we had a nice experience until it was the end of our meal. We asked for separate bills which being at the bar should be an issue but when we asked Ed said we was "killing him" so the our experience took a turn but I would still recommend this place if you are ever in Chantilly, VA. read more

The ambiance is inviting, the menu is large, and there are so many drinks to choose from. The Old Fashioned was strong and tasted pretty good, which our waitress prepared table side. We weren't sure about what wines to try so our waitress gave really good wine recommendations too. The caesar salad tasted great, but unfortunately, the steak was overcooked and lacked seasoning. The sides were also lacking flavor. It would be nice if they offered a salt shaker at the table because it would be helpful, just in case. The biggest plus is the staff. They were friendly from the moment we entered the restaurant. We were there for our anniversary and they greeted us at the entrance, gave us a hand-written card and even gave us a wine bottle opener at the end of our meal. This is definitely a place you go to if you would like great service and a show, but they need to work on the flavor of the food - once they improve that, I think it would be a more well rounded experience. read more

My boyfriend took me to Bourbon Boulevard for our anniversary. The space was clean, pretty, and larger than expected. I had a virgin mai tai that was actually really good (a little sweet & tangy). The crab cakes and wagyu burger were both delicious and impressive. I would say the crab cakes were my favorite of the night! However, the entrees were a bit disappointing. The lobster ravioli had this thick pasta with little filling, and the lobster mac tasted like basic mac and cheese with lobster on top. I expected the lobster to be more incorporated in both dishes. The sirloin my boyfriend ordered was great, but would I say this was worth over 300 dollars? Probably not, but the service was great and we had fun. read more

I have been wanting to go here for a while. Looking on the website at the May specials and food options they have. Not to mention the whiskey and bourbon selections are HUGE. One of the largest I have seen so far. The happy hour options are amazing. The taste of the food is even better. The drinks by San are top tier. As well as the service by San. He knows his whiskey and bourbon. Very very knowledgeable and professional. Let's get into the decor. The steaks on display. With all cuts. OMG. The wine cellar. To die for. And last but not least the whisker and bourbon. Stop what you are doing and come and visit this amazing place. Thank me later!!!! read more

The live jazz during dinner created a very relaxed atmosphere. We had excellent service, our glasses were always full. We also enjoyed the table side cheese wheel pasta. The lobster ravioli was very good, as was the mushroom risotto. We also shared several desserts, but the chocolate cheesecake was my favorite. read more

Don't waste your money here. They have the nerve to charge an astronomical $43 per ounce for Wagyu, yet they cannot even master basic restaurant hygiene.When my drink arrived, the glass had a disgusting, foul smell to it. If a self-proclaimed "luxury" steakhouse cannot properly clean and sanitize their glassware, it makes you seriously question what is going on behind the scenes in the place is a textbook "fake luxury" trap with massive corporate markups and zero attention to detail. It is absolutely not worth the price. Stick to a real steakhouse that actually respects its customers and understands basic cleanliness. read more

So, we came here for a late lunch on a Saturday. It was a fairly slow and quiet, which was a win. Upon entry, we were quickly greeted and quickly seated (with our preference for location). After our waitress made her introduction, our orders were quickly taken, which we greatly appreciated. I had the ribeye (medium), with the maple sriracha brussel sprouts and the loaded baked potato. Unfortunately, my ribeye came out medium well (in my opinion), causing it to not be as juicy/succulent/flavorful, which was a tad disappointing. For the brussel sprouts, with the pairing of maple and sriracha, I was expecting a more impactful taste, however, this dish was just okay. Overall, we had a good experience, but the food was just average to me. On another note, the live music was getting ready to play around 5pm and this appears to happen daily , which I am sure adds to the experience. read more

A Vegas-style steakhouse that feels out of place in suburbia. The menu is massive--too large for new servers to master--and the bourbon list is just as overwhelming. While the service was friendly, staff seemed undertrained and unfamiliar with the complex offerings. There are lots of novelty techniques, but they don't do much to enhance the overall experience. One tip for the kitchen: when it comes to smoked dishes, quality matters. Wood chips are the lowest grade of wood and often contain contaminants like mold. Proper smoke should be clean with a bluish tint--not heavy, white, and milky, which indicates poor combustion. I'd rate this place a 2 out of 5, but considering the portion sizes and pricing, there's value here--so I'll bump it up slightly. read more

We had the most amazing experience here on Valentine's Day. Our server, Fernando, was incredible. I cannot wait to come back. We both got filet mignon and a few side. Everything was wonderfully presented and exquisite. There was live music but not overwhelming for the space. We are so excited to join them next time we are in town. read more

Met a friend for dinner and was seated directly. The manager was training a new employee and she was very good. The facility was nice but I kept feeling water drops from the ac down my neck. The food was good. I had the Bison Ribeye, it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My salad was excellent as well. I would eat here again read more

Me and hubby decided to drive over an hour here for our valentines dinner. Starting with the food, the mushrooms were enjoyable, but the truffle fries were unfortunately soggy and definitely not a highlight. Collard greens were simply mediocre. My husband ordered the dry-aged rib and said it was good, while I had the wagyu ribeye, which arrived at room temperature. In fact, most of our food didn't come out particularly hot, though I can overlook that a bit for the charcuterie appetizer, lol. Service was another downside. We tried to give our server the benefit of the doubt , everyone has off days , but the interaction felt minimal and disengaged. There was no introduction or greeting when she first came to the table; she simply stood there waiting for us to order. The only time we received a full sentence was when the bill was delivered. That said, the atmosphere was lovely. The live jazz band added a nice touch and made the environment enjoyable. Overall, it was a 2/5 experience, not somewhere I'd plan to return to or personally recommend. read more

I'm struggling with this review because the food and service were good, but the overall experience was less than satisfying. We probably won't go back. My wife and I went to an early dinner (for her birthday), and the restaurant was almost empty. We ordered whiskey flights and salads to start. She ordered the Fig, Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Salad, which was beautifully presented and tasty. I ordered the Iceberg Wedge, which was similarly very good. But before we could even finish our salads, our entrees were being served. We had no time to thoroughly enjoy our salads, let alone begin tasting our whiskey flights. On to the entrees. My wife ordered the Seared Salmon which was served with crispy skin. The problem was, the crispy skin was served on the bottom, so it quickly became soggy. And the plate was overwhelmed by a huge portion of broccolini. We like broccolini, but wow. That was a lot. The salmon was tasty, but nothing special. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli. It was beautifully presented with half of a small lobster tail on top, but the lobster was a little overcooked and was impossible to remove from the shell. I asked the waiter to take the plate back to the kitchen and ask the chef to help remove the lobster from the shell, which he gladly did. When the plate was returned, there were a few small pieces of lobster on top, but enough to make the plate satisfying. The lobster ravioli, and especially the sauce, was delicious. The problem was, my wife's plate was getting cold while she waited for my plate to be returned to the table. Oh well. The waiter recommended the Tiramisu for dessert, and he offered it on the house because it was my wife's birthday. And it was delicious. The last thing I would mention is the 5% Kitchen Service Charge that was automatically added to the bill. In fairness, it is mentioned on the menu (though I didn't notice it). But I was a little taken aback by its addition, given the problem with my Lobster Ravioli. The kitchen's performance wasn't perfect. I'm really put off by these kinds of fees anyway. Overall, the food was good and the waiter was friendly and attentive. But too many little things added up, and we probably won't go back, especially given how pricey the meal was. read more

Consistency is key! Ventured here after an afternoon of wine tasting. Sat at the bar and was able to enjoy the Ravens win over the Cowboys. Whooo-hooooo...a perfect Sunday Funday. Today I ordered a Caesar Salad and added grilled shrimp. My salad was fresh and my shrimp were delicious! My husband enjoyed the steak skewers with a side of truffle fries along with some of my salad. For dessert we had the Rum Bread Pudding and I also had a hot tea. The bar tender tonight was awesome and entertaining. There was even some live entertainment this evening and the singer with the band was actually pretty good. If we're ever in the area we will definitely be back! :)) Happy Yelping! read more

Being a Bourbon lover, I noticed a Yelp friend's review and said to myself, Self, If I'm ever in the Chantilly area, I have to check this place out. Just by chance, yesterday I was in Chantilly and true to my word, I checked this place out! As soon as we walked in, I noticed a cigar humidor to my right and I was like..wow, they must allow stogies on the patio. Yep, they do and that made it easy to decide to dine outside. Inside BB had a cool set-up with a large bar/lounge area to the left, and a large formal dining area to the right, with a Grand piano and other band instruments set up in the middle. Dimly lit, reminding you of similar fine dining steak houses. The menu is amazing. It literally had everything that I love, unfortunately, I wasn't particularly hungry and I wanted to kick myself for eating a supersized lunch. I'm secure with my manhood, so ordering a Pear Martini isn't that unusual for me, but at a Bourbon themed steakhouse, it was. Hey, I was going to make drink #2 bourbon based..LOL! The Bourbon Gods were not having it and the Martini was horrible. Please take this back and give me that da*n Smoked Old Fashioned that I should have gotten in the first place..SMH!! Our server was really nice but super young and maybe not as experienced as she should be working at an establishment on the scale of Ruth's Chris and Capital Grill. She surprisingly said she would have to ask the manager if they could take that nasty Pear Martini off my bill. I only took half a sip.. are you kidding me? Not until the bill came after dinner, did she finally confirm that the manager voided out the martini. On to the food. Again, we weren't starving, so a few small plates would suffice. We ordered the giant prawns, oysters Rockefeller, filet mignon and a Caesar salad. The prawns were only giant because they had the heads on. Once you removed the heads they were as small as a salad add on. They were overcooked and mushy. The filet was less than luke warm but I liked it, she didn't, saying it was too chewy. The oysters were amazing and the Caesar salad was fresh and tasty. Our server completely forgot the requested ground pepper until the meal was done. This restaurant has all the potential in the world, but at this price point, It's missing the mark. The $20 cigar I purchased was crunchy, so was it bad ventilation in the humidor or was the cigar just old?!? The men's bathroom had one inoperable sink with a soup dispenser hanging on for dear life. The other one was working fine. Also, note that they add a $5.50 service fee automatically to your bill. I still tipped 20% just because I'm a nice guy..lol! Bourbon Blvd., please pay attention to detail so that your 2.5 star Yelp rating won't have the merit it does now..jus saying! read more

My significant other and I happen to be in this area. We are foodies so naturally we lean on Yelp to help navigate our next meal. My beau said this would be something he'd like to try so we made the stop. Upon entering we notice cigars. My Beau is in Heaven now. So we pivot, instead of dining inside we opted for the patio. Bourbon Boulevard is supposed to be high end but in the patio there were patrons and a dog. That is something you definitely don't see in high end restaurants. Perhaps the Holiday Inn attracts guests with pets. Who knows? The server petting the dog and coming back and touching plates had me feeling a way. Luckily my Beaus back was away from this view point. The menu was expansive. I asked about specials and the young lady said the day we visited there were none, she tried to upsell the Tomahawk. Naturally the highest menu item. Service lacked. She was a sweet waitress but she conversed so much with customers she missed a few requests. We never ever complain, the pear martini my beau got was disturbingly disgusting. I told him he had to be that customer to ask for something different. When he did the waitresses response was this is never bad. And then stated I'll see what the manager says. Odd. The replacement was his good ole old fashion which was executed super classy. Was the best part of the evening! What a drink! We ordered a few items, the prawns were gross I literally told my Beau we'd never order those. The Filet Mignon came out barely warm. The only thing good was my salad and our oysters. There was no manager presence. The cigar my Beau purchased was hard. He didn't complain, he just smoked it. This place is not cheap. For someone who has no problem spending 200-300 on a meal for two this place just doesn't cut it. There are far better places to venture and spend money at. I was confused by the reviews and read that the food was great so I was hoping that would be true for us but unfortunately our food was not the best. Ambience inside was swanky, so I assume for this area it's one of the better places to come enjoy a "high end" place. I will say that just because the menu is pricey doesn't mean they are high end. This is somewhere I wouldn't come back to. Everything lacked. read more

For an "upscale" restaurant, I expected more from the staff to keep the restaurant clean and tidy. It was very unappetizing to be sat next to a dirty partition where dust and dirt was collected and never cleaned (see picture). I could only imagine the dust flying into my food as I ate. The bathroom was very messy with water all over the sink counter and soap that was diluted with water. Yes, they say it's a casual type of restaurant but the price point does not reflect such as this place is more expensive than the more fine dining restaurants in the surrounding city. Now the food. We waited for over 30 minutes with no complimentary bread for the table. I think it's ridiculous for a restaurant to be this pricey with no complimentary sides or services. And the sautéed wild mushrooms for $13? Just a handful of baby bella mushrooms. I ordered the Tournedos Rossini and it was good, just okay. Nothing special about it. The other people in my party ordered Filet Mignons and Prime Dry Aged Ribeye and they say it was good quality meat. Overall, this place has zero class. Just not for me. You're better off driving a little further to Tysons to the more respectable fine dining steakhouses with better ingredients and transparent menus. read more

Very expensive and not worth the trip! I ordered two glasses of house merlot, they charged me $78!! Rip off, when someone orders the house wine we don't expect to be served one of the most expensive wines on the list. And then they add some bogus 5% "surcharge" to your overall bill! They upsold my wife on her scallop entre and ended up serving her TWO full entrees for a cost of $118. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying for a good meal, but food here is not worthy of the prices they charge. Will not be going back! read more

Not sure how I feel about this place. On one hand the food was good. On the other hand I was underwhelmed. We came for Valentine's Day dinner but on Saturday. The restaurant was mostly business as usual and then it seems like they put the Valentine's Couples in the back private room which can be a hit or miss. They gave us physical menus but several items we attempted to order they no longer offered. The presentation also wasn't the best in my opinion for the price paid. Drinks were delicious. Would I go again? I'm not sure. It's not a definite yes or no! read more

I brought my husband and kids to this location to celebrate Father's Day. I'm really mad at myself for wasting my money at this restaurant and will not be returning. The service was lackluster, food was average, some of which lacked seasoning. I ordered the cheese wheel pasta ($96.00) for my daughter and server did a half ass presentation. The Mac and cheese side looked like it was Kraft Mac and Cheese, the broccolini was super dry and unseasoned...guess they're skipping on the salt. The steaks were average. We had to ask other servers to get the attention of our server, pretty sure he forgot about us. For the amount of money that I spent, it wasn't worth the dining experience. It's totally my fault, I should've read the reviews. I really thought this place was more upscale and I completely got it wrong. This place isn't worth the price tag. You'll get better food and better service at Outback Steakhouse. read more

The oysters were not fully schucked. Food is fairly expensive. The bar tender seemed to be new, but did not state that. He also failed to give my veterans discount offered on Mondays. He asked if I wanted still or sparkling water, but did not inform me of the eight dollar charge for a bottle of still water. I drank about 40% of it, but I could not take the 60% left home with me. The ambiance is nice and the guitar and stand up bass player were very good. I will not return! read more

Nice place. Loads of dark woods. Cozy atmosphere. Ed was the bartender. He knows his drinks. Wife said best French 75 ever! Got the calamari. Good. Just like the others. Got the cheese steak sliders. Wife said meh. I liked them. Got the 8oz filet. Mashed taters, broccolini. Steak was delish. Perfectly cooked med-rare. We went at 4. By 5:30 was filling up. And band was getting ready! We out! All in all not bad. Wife had 3 drinks, I don't drink alcohol. Bill was $207! Not cheap at all. Worth it? Not sure. Ed was the standout for certain. read more

We go here often because there is Jazz 6-9 every day! We love the espresso martinis probably the best in Nova. Heather our server is fantastic! Prices are a little on the high side but the food is always great. The French onion soup is very good. I ordered the wagu tomahawk and truly the best steak Ive ever had. We shared it of course as its huge. We like the high top seating in the bar area, however it can be a loud there if the band is playing, the dining area is better if your table is having a conversation. read more

Always a treat for me and my guests. Stopped in after a long day of purchasing wine at the Wine Expo. Service was exceptional, thank you Finlay. We sat in the bar area, initially went in for a quick bite during HH but ended up staying through dinner. We were quite comfortable and pleased with the environment, food, and wine. Overall, we had a great experience. Reviews are helpful for an establishment whether they are positive or give room for improvement. There are a few areas that may need to be addressed based on the reviews but keep in mind, it is also a challenge to please everyone. read more

We visited Bourbon Boulevard Steakhouse in Chantilly on January 6 for Tomahawk Tuesday, my mother, my fiancé, and I. This was our first time dining here, and unfortunately the experience fell well below expectations, especially given the pricing. Before we even sat down to eat, both my mother and my fiancé independently noticed a strong sewer odor in the ladies' restroom. It was not a cleanliness issue, it smelled like an active sewage problem, and it immediately set the tone for the evening. Service was polite and the tomahawk presentation with the rum fire was a nice touch. The brussels sprouts were the best part of the meal. However, the Tomahawk ribeye was excessively fatty, easily around 40% fat, and it did not feel remotely worth the price (approximately $170). My mother, who paid, said there was no way it justified the cost, and I completely agreed. My fiancé ordered the rack of lamb and it was served cold. She asked the server to have it heated up, and it returned overcooked while still overly salty. She only ate about half, and this is the first time in over 20 years that I can recall her ever sending food back at a restaurant. We also had alcoholic drinks and cappuccinos. Overall, the experience did not match the reputation or price point, and we will not be returning. read more

One of my favorite steakhouses in the country! No lie. Look forward to annual trips to Chantilly just for this place. Owner (Kiran) is a great host and our server Heather is the best. Not sure if business will take me there again in the future, but I hope so as everything I have ever had from here is amazing... The Wagu Coulette is freakin' incredible. Also our table has had the Tomahawk, Marrow appetizer, Candied bacon and pork belly bite apps, brussel sprouts, mushroom risotto, desserts and those smoked old fashioneds. Highly highly recommend. read more

Great selection of meats and different cuts. We came in with a party of 8 and got a small app sampler which allowed us to try a bit of everything. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The sides were made meant to be shared but some of them like any of the green could only feed 2-3 people. The desserts were a nice finisher to a hearty meal. read more

First of all I would like to say the server was great! I have been a few times as it is a convenient location. The food is relatively decent but definitely not worth the price considering the ambiance! Any time you try to use one of their "specials" there's always a catch, I visited today and tried to talk to a manger, but unfortunately there was no what can we do to make it better, instead I was hit with well if you would have bought 6 drinks on this list no one can see, including the staff, and then spent $30+ on a burger then you would have gotten a deal! Yeah, no thanks. Better luck going to any true $$$ steakhouse and you will get the service you'd expect! read more

Spent $600 on dinner tonight and left absolutely dissatisfied. Tomahawk was not good at all. Fries didn't come with cheese and when we told the waiter he just laughed. Should've known it was a sign to leave as soon as I saw it was empty inside but wanted to give it a try. The service you get is not up to par with what you would expect when spending so much. Service was horrible. Spend your money at dc prime instead. I hate leaving reviews like this but this was the biggest waste of money. NEVER AGAIN! read more

I don't like having to write a bad review for a local business, but maybe they'll take the comments into consideration because this place has the potential to be a great restaurant but missed the marked. We came here last year for NYE, and although the restaurant was packed, we loved it. We decided to come here tonight to celebrate our granddaughter's birthday and another social occasion. We arrived about five minutes early for our reservation. When we checked in, we were told it would be a little bit of a wait because they were really busy. We were told something about being really busy because of Halloween, although, this was the day after. We were confused, as we had a reservation and there were several others with reservations, also waiting. I can understand a few minutes, but 20-30 minutes? I was asked if we wanted to wait. I responded that we really didn't have a choice since we had driven an hour, and it was too late to get a reservation anywhere else at that time. There is absolutely no waiting area, and we were standing in the doorway. We were finally seated at the table right next to the band. The band was great, but we were literally yelling at each other to be heard. Even the waiter complained he couldn't hear us over the music, as he was trying to take the order. Yeah, great family dinner. After about ten minutes, we called over the manager and asked if we could be moved since there were empty tables, and they did move us, and it was so much better. However, nothing was brought over with us, and we repeatedly had to request glasses, silverware, etc. I recognize we asked to move, but we've done this at other places, and our new table was completely set before we were seated. Food was good. We ordered the pork belly and artichoke dip appetizers, which were both delicious. However, the artichoke dip came with five pieces of naan. We asked for more, and were charged $8 for a few more pieces. Seriously? I have never been charged for extra bread or chips for any dip at any restaurant. So basically our appetizer was $25. I had asked for a Diet Coke. When I asked for a refill, I was told that their soda machine was broken, and they only had bottles, so there were no free refills, and would have to charge me another $5 for another cocktail glass full of ice and a bit of soda. How is their broken soda machine my problem, and why wasn't that specified when I first ordered it? Steaks and pasta were fantastic and well-prepared. We asked for a dessert for the birthday girl, which the server brought with a candle. When the bill arrived; $350 for two appetizers, two entrees, two cocktails, a soda, and a dessert, we noticed the 5% service surcharge. When I asked the server what that was about, he said it's in the menu and that the staff shares that. Isn't that what the tip is for? When they brought the CC machine, the tips options range from 20- 35%. So in reality, the tip starts at 25% with the surcharge. This nickel and dime game, waiting when you have reservations with no compensation, the extremely loud band come across like neighborhood bar rather than a fine dining experience, while the prices are comparable with Morton's or DC Prime. Also, the bathrooms were extremely dirty. Unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

Bourbon Boulevard - the new BB Sterling is the superlative jazz steakhouse dining experience in Northern Virginia. BB combines the best of both worlds: high-quality dining (especially the steak and seafood options); and live jazz music. Reminiscent of a Manhattan piano bar, the atmosphere leans heavily into an eclectic ambiance (particularly the carefully curated collection of the worlds finest bourbon, dim lighting, leather seating, polished wood, and a small stage for live performers). The music is usually classic jazz standards --loud enough to create the perfect vibe, but ideally not so loud that you can't have a dinner conversation. BB is upscale but relaxed and the high quality cuisine is unparalleled (the lamb shank on mushroom risotto is highly recommended). Classic cocktails essentials include the Old Fashioned and Manhattan. Moreover, the world class wine list is unrivaled. Finally, the service is attentive and formal--and the pricing is reasonable for a fantastic meal and fabulous entertainment. In summary, BB is a great jazz steakhouse that offers a memorable night out--perfect for dates, celebrations, or impressing clients and guests. read more
