I had such a wonderful experience here with my family! The food was absolutely incredible, the wine and cocktails were delicious, and the service was fantastic from start to finish. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, and I'm already looking forward to coming back very soon. A truly lovely dining experience! read more

This is a special occasion type of restaurant and I want to come back here already. My cousin and her coworkers were in town, so we celebrated them coming from Atlanta. This place is noiceee. When you walk in from Powell st you enter the gorgeous art deco bar. The restaurant is tucked away on the left. The design and decor - stunning. The service was wonderful. The food was amazing. We ordered more than enough food. We got the tuna tartare, the black truffle bread, 16 oz boneless wagyu ribeye, 8 oz center cut filet mignon and for sides: jalepeno creamed corn, stir-fried asparagus, creamed spinach "pop-tart" and for dessert the bruleed basque cheesecake. This is my favorite meal of all of September and the month isn't done yet. Highly recommend for your next special occasion meal. read more

Came here with friends for a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, I have to say, save yourself the money and go to an actually good steak house. The food was very underwhelming and not worth the price point. We ordered the tuna tartare, which came out extremely under salted. When we told the server about it, she took it to the back, and came back to tell us the chef said it was perfectly fine. We didn't ask to return it, we just wanted them to give us some salt to spruce it up. Also, it's odd to come back to a paying customer and say something like that. I also ordered the filet, creamed corn, baked potato, Caesar salad, chimichurri, and fries three ways. The positives are that the filet was cooked well but honestly I've had better at John's grill. The chimichurri was way too sour. Caesar salad, baked potato were easily something we could make at home equally as good if not better. The creamed corn was mush and I think a skip for sides. Drinks ranged from 20-30 per drink. Ambience was nice and server was very patient, but overall, the sentiment at the table was shared, that we wouldn't return here. read more

Decided to try Bourbon Steak after some lackluster Michael Mina experiences, and it turned out to be an exceptional meal. I arrived on time for my 9pm reservation and was greeted by the friendliest, most welcoming host, who checked me in and asked about my partner's arrival, since the kitchen closes at 9:15. It's true when they say the host sets the tone for the evening. I'm a host, and she did an amazing job during our short interaction. Though I was surprised reservations were accepted at 9 with a 9:15 kitchen close. But I can get the order quickly and send the menu to my partner. I was seated upstairs in a beautiful room by who I think may have been a manager, asked if I was comfortable. As a host myself, I appreciated the care. I'm sure they get a lot of people asking to sit by a window or for a booth. Our server, David, was attentive without being intrusive, waiting until my partner arrived to take our order. He also brought me a drink while I waited, and wine service was professional. We ordered branzino, rib eye, asparagus, baked potato, and mac and cheese. Everything, including the complimentary fries at the beginning, was so enjoyable; the mac and cheese was FIRE! Please make that an entree. Having recently visited New Orleans, we wanted to make room for the beignets. They were alright. The 3 sauces that came wirh them were a nice touch. Of course, nothing's gonna compare to New Orleans, but they satisfied my already stuffed belly. Wonderful meal. I'm definitely coming back for more of that mac and cheese. read more

We've now been to Bourbon Steak twice -- the first time was about a year ago, shortly after they opened, and we came back again this evening. The food and service have remained consistently top-tier since our first visit. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make sure you feel celebrated for whatever special occasion brings you in. We especially can't say enough about their assistant general manager, Jose. We met him during our first visit, and he still remembered us a year later, which is so rare, especially at a high-traffic restaurant. He treats you like family and went out of his way to make my birthday dinner extra special. We ordered the tuna tartare, petite romaine caesar, truffle butter bread, bone-in ribeye, and mashed potato trio. Everything was incredible, and I would highly recommend all of it. We also got the warm beignets and their new seasonal pumpkin cheesecake. We were completely stuffed by the end of the meal but couldn't pass up dessert, and I'm so glad we didn't because both were so good! My favorite was the cheesecake. They brûlée the top, which takes it to another level. My only comment is that I personally preferred the original truffle butter rolls, which have since been replaced with more of a Texas toast-style bread. The flavor is still incredible, but nothing beats those rolls! Overall, another amazing experience at Bourbon Steak. Thank you Jose and team. We'll definitely be back! read more

We came back since my friends and I liked it the first time. We made reservations again since they were pretty busy last time and this time it was a Saturday so we wanted to be sure. We had to wait to about 15 minutes to be seated so we ordered a drink from the bar. We sat down after getting our drink. The waiter came to our table right away and brought us some water. We ordered the Filet, and the Lamb Chops with our sides of cream of corn, and mashed potatoes three ways. While were waiting they brought us out fries which they give you complimentary and their cooked three ways. They are delicious. Our entrees came out shortly and we ordered a couple glasses of wine for a our meal. The Filet was cooked perfect, it tasted like butter. The lamb chops were also cooked perfect and tasted delicious. The mashed potatoes Crab, Garlic, and regular was the best ever. The cream of corn was also cooked great and had so much flavor. We were too full for dessert so I guess I need to come back. Our service was really good during our meal. read more

Since I was jumping back onto the carnivore wagon, my friend and I decided to check out Bourbon Steak. I've been to many incarnations of this spot. The vibe now is much darker and maybe a lil swankier. Food is tasty, but pricey. The ribeye was cooked nicely. One of the surprises was the crab pasta. The sauce was decadent and creamy and there was a good amount of crab. They give you a complimentary trio of fries to start. Nice way into the meal vs bread. Tho I couldn't resist ordering the truffle bread. Service was great! We actually had a rezzie at Eighth Rule afterwards, but dinner took a lil longer than expected. They went ahead and alerted the bar and changed our time. Nice spot for a special occasion meal. Wish my pocketbook could see this as an everyday spot, but glad I was able to check it out.

5+ stars for service 2 stars for food Came here for my birthday dinner and the entire staff from FOH to servers were all TOP NOTCH and made it a special evening. The bar is gorgeous with a casual feel and the main dining area is dark, moody and sexy. The food, however, was nothing spectacular and I was sadly underwhelmed. Complimentary Duck fat fries: we loved the paprika dusted ones with their homemade BBQ sauce. Delicious! Wagyu boneless ribeye: I wasn't a fan of the herbaceousness of the crust. Very heavy with rosemary (and I do love rosemary), but for whatever reason my palette didn't like it at all. Creamed corn: was more of a mashed splash puréed corn. Not smooth and not chunky. A weird in between. Disliked the texture. Best dishes of the evening were the French onion soup and the wedge salad (that they do offer to chop for you, but we decided to have it whole). Wine selection was decent. The handwritten card, complimentary bubbles at the start of our service and cute birthday cone were all a beautiful touch for a birthday. Again, service was on point! I'm not sure I'd come back for dinner, but I'd definitely sit at the bar and enjoy the vibes. read more

Wow, where to even begin! The service was seriously impeccable. Some of the best I have ever had; at least recently. Our waiter suggested his favorite white wine, brought over a fry sampler and even a cold squash soup for tasting. The menu is incredible, too. The branzino and wagyu steak were prepared and serve perfectly, and the chicken melted in your mouth. All the entrees were filled with so much flavor, yet not overpowering. The mash potato sampler was perfect for sharing. I was celebrating a family member's birthday, and they could not have made it nicer. The birthday cone, pumpkin cheesecake and oreo chocolate night made our night perfect and were so delicious. We met the owner of the restaurant, who was so nice, and showed us their awesome speakeasy! The whole night was luxe and modern, and filled with so much joy, great vibes, and delicious food. I can't wait to dine at future locations of Bourbon Steak and hope to make my way back to the one in SF some day! read more

Bourbon Steak is my new go-to for a great steak dinner!!! We were warmly greeted by Victoria, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I collect matchbooks from different restaurants, and while Bourbon Steak was out of theirs, she tracked me down and found one from their speakeasy. She really set the tone for the evening. On to dinner- Kyung took care of us for the evening. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. All of her suggestions were spot on and made the entire dining experience feel personalized. They had just released a summer menu so I was so excited to try everything! Of course we started with the signature Michael Mina duck fat fries, which were hot and fresh! What we ordered: Cocktail Shrimp- each shrimp was fresh and succulent and ready to go already with cocktail sauce and freshly grated horseradish! Crab cake- this was one of my favorite bites of the evening. The plating was very fun and the flavor was spot on. The shell was full of big chunks of crab and any crab lover's dream! Bacon wrapped scallops- perfectly executed no notes Truffle bread- so cute and super buttery but didn't get a lot of truffle flavor. This you can skip! I expected something like NYC's monkey bar! Filet- perfectly cooked and the nutty brown butter flavor really shines! It had the perfect crust and absolutely no notes- the way a steak should be cooked! We were so full from the evening that we could not fit dessert in, but I know for a fact that their beignets are perfection! Huge shoutout to Giovanni who blew us away with his hospitality! The meal would not have been what it was without him. I highly recommend Bourbon Steak for an unforgettable evening! read more

Oh noooo my steak's too juicy, my lobster's too buttery... I came with a party of 6 on a Monday, and the place was very lively. I think there was a conference happening nearby, bunch of people with name tags and lanyards. Service was fantastic, our waiter gave a lot of really good suggestions. We ended up getting probably half of the menu: Caesar and wedge salads, branzino, 2 ribeyes, lobster pot pie, crab spaghetti, potato trio, onion rings, asparagus, and the black truffle bread. Everything was phenomenal, but the ribeye and pot pie were especially good. Only thing I would skip are the desserts. We tried the shaved ice and the banana tart, both were forgettable. Definitely not a cheap dinner, but amazing experience for a special occasion. read more

I heard it was hard to get a reservation when they first opened, looked like they're slowing down now. Luckily I was able to snag one for 9pm on a Sunday last minute. It's in a hotel and you'd expect it to be feel as if it was apart of the lobby, but that wasn't the case. It was majestic, with a sage green and gold interior. The hostess greeted us with a very warm welcome and seated us immediately. We were put in a booth as requested, which was very appreciated. Our waiter came over and greeted us with champagne on the house. We started with two drinks and their complimentary fry trio. We ordered the caesar salad, bone in ribeye and mashed potatoes. All of the food was rich and delicious. I had a wonderful experience and will be back soon!! read more

5/5 for ambiance and vibe, 5/5 for service and 3/5 for food. The drinks were delish and strong but the food was def it or miss. We ordered the caviar trio and for some reason all the other ingredients completely overpowered the delish taste of the caviar. Same thing with the tuna tartar, the herbs completely overpowered the dish. The steak and asparagus were def 5/5 delish, I did enjoy those dishes as well as the refreshing dessert. The complimentary fries in duck fat were also a star haha read more

Come with a group, get the tomahawk!!! I came here with a group of friends (there were eight of us) and we had a fantastic dinner. We ordered most things on the menu and four of us decided to share the tomahawk. The meal started great with complimentary fries that were just perfectly crispy and fatty. The noteworthy items for me were the orchard apple salad, oysters, the tomahawk, the bread, the tart tatin and the chocolate tart. When you order the tomahawk, they do a show table-side. The food is familiar yet really elevated - their truffle Mac and cheese is a great example of this. The restaurant itself was just gorgeous - the high ceilings and all the marble gives it a very elegant feel. The service was first-rate - very attentive but not fussy. The price per person is about $200 - which is worth it given the experience. Highly, highly recommended!!! read more

My family came here for Christmas dinner and while it is time to spread cheer, I have to be honest on this establishment. The service was slow, and it might have been due to it being nearly a packed house but by the middle of our meal, when most tables were gone, the checking in was still a ghost of Christmas past. Now let's talk food. I started with the ahi, which contained one taste note - SPICY. I couldn't taste the delicate fish as it was completely masked in an overwhelming amount of spice. This dish was also screaming for acid as well... The filet entree was subpar. The steak wasn't juicy and the best thing on the plate was the roasted tomatoes... now that is saying something. My parents both ordered the prime rib and when both dishes came out, we could hear the cow still mooing... thats how blue the steak was. For a restaurant that emphasizes meat- this is quite an embarrassment. The saving grace was the dessert . The cheesecake was perfectly balanced and delicious and the beignets were one of the best I have ever tried. Hats off to the Pastry Chef! So happy that this night ended with a Christmas miracle. read more

All staff from start to finish was amazing! Friendly,welcoming and attentive. Not sure about the name of our server but on the receipt it was listed as Andrew, he was so patient and all smiles each time he or the others would check on us. We loved the look, feel and ambiance of the restaurant, very intimate and gorgeous. We loved the green color on the ceilings and the chairs. We were celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary and everyone took care of us, they all greeted and wished us for many more years. We just felt special, it was an amazing decision that we picked this restaurant to spend our night. Food was delicious, it was cooked and presented as good as it looked in the photos! Also great that we picked the hotel to stay at as well. I would highly recommend it to people I know, I hope to come back next time when we visit from San Diego. Applaud to the whole team, I hope you guys keep doing a great job, me and my husband appreciate you guys, thank you. read more

Dining at Bourbon Steak inside the Westin is an experience in itself. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful....upscale, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance and aesthetic feel top-tier and special. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the setting. While nicely presented, it lacked seasoning and leaned a bit bland overall. Not bad, just underwhelming compared to expectations. We visited during Super Bowl weekend, so the restaurant was extremely busy. Our food took about 1.5-1.75 hours to arrive, which was a bit much. That said, the customer service was outstanding. The manager came to our table personally, apologized for the delay, and offered complimentary appetizers, which went a long way and was handled with true professionalism. I'm still glad we went and would absolutely return on a non-event weekend. I suspect the food and pacing would shine much more under normal circumstances. read more

Our visit to the restaurant started off poorly as one of the hostesses racially discriminated against my family (the ONLY reason I had to take a star away). We were quite obviously ignored multiple times and all 4 of us were SKIPPED over when the hostess went around to ask everyone else if they were our party's name. We knew it was because we didn't look like everyone else waiting. Other than this disappointing interaction with her, everything about this restaurant was outstanding. We loved the dim lighting and elegant decor. We ordered: * Black truffle bread (10/10) * Australian wagyu tomahawk (10/10 - so good with the chimichurri) * Whipped potatoes trio (8/10) * Scallion potato cakes w/french onion dip (7/10) * Creamed spinach (9/10) * Fried brussels sprouts (10/10) * Warm beignets & dipping custards (10/10 - these were the BEST beignets I've had) For drinks, we had the RN74 2014 and Pabu 2025. Both were very delicious! Our server was excellent, and the restaurant manager was very kind. We will be returning in hopes that ALL staff treat everyone equally. read more

The best experience ever for my first steak house. After our trip back from San Francisco I was telling everyone about this place. I ordered the filet mignon with the Cesar salad and 3 potato appetizer. I ordered my steak medium rare and was cooked so perfectly it melted in my mouth like butter. Out of the three potatoes mash I liked 2/3 just didn't like the horseradish potatoes. The ambiance was nice and intimate. The waiter kept coming by to check on us and recommend us a few items. Can't wait to go back. read more

Bourbon Steak occupies what used to be the main lobby of the Westin St. Francis hotel. You can enter the restaurant via the Powell Street door during opening times. To access the hotel proper, one must go around the corner and enter via the door on Geary Street by the porte-cochère. There is a central bar area with high stools, surrounded by low tables on the perimeter of the space, and a more formal dining room up the stairs opposite what used to be the Clock Bar. I didn't have a reservation, but they were able to seat me at a table in the bar area. This very upscale restaurant is a collaboration between basketball star Stephen Curry and celebrated chef Michael Mina. Food is very good and service is excellent, but brace yourself for the prices. Carry your smelling salts. I started with the onion soup. The soup itself was quite good, but the crouton was a bit spongy and hard to break with the edge of the spoon. And I would have liked a good bit more cheese on top. For my main, I had a $110 US-sourced Wagyu steak (10 ounce, I think). Cooked to order and excellent, but ouch! A side of broccolini was also very nice. I had wine with my dinner and cognac with my Black Forest chocolate tart dessert. The wine was an inexpensive Cabernet Franc. I chose it not because it was only $18, but because I'm quite partial to Cabernet Franc. I should have known the "low" price meant an inferior vintage. It was all right, but I would have been happier with something else. The Remy Martin VSOP was very nice and went well with the dessert. I liked the tart itself, and the bold, sweet, tart cherry sauce added to the plate. But put together I thought the sauce tended to overwhelm the mild chocolate flavor of the layered tart. With tax and a 20% tip, the bill came to--are you sitting down?--$282.46. Just for me. As much as I enjoyed the meal and the excellent service, I probably won't dine here again soon. Unless I hit the lottery. read more

I cannot say enough things about how great our experience was last night. Our server Mahesh was outstanding, he literally made us feel like royalty. We came in for my fiancés birthday and to check out the restaurant before we hold a large dinner there at the end of the month. Everything we ordered was incredible. We already talked about how we are going to come by around Christmas and again for our yearly anniversary. The inside is also BEAUTIFUL, the ambiance is so finely curated. Overall 10/10!

My husband made reservations in advance to celebrate my birthday. We found street parking a few blocks away. We walked through the entrance of the hotel to get to the restaurant. The check in process was in an awkward position with the line blocking the bar and the steps towards the tables. As for the food, the most memorable dish we had was the Maine lobster pot pie. My husband still raves about this dish from time to time. Everything in this dish was delicious! It was just unfortunate how the other servers were walking behind the cart and we couldn't quite pay full attention to the unveiling of the pie. We got the bone in ribeye and it was cooked to perfection. It paired very well with the mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. We were so full that we only ate a few slices of the steak but it was still good even as leftovers. We didn't know the fries were complimentary and probably would've ordered less food if we had down. The fries and sauces were crunchy and loaded with flavors. The wedge salad was delicious and one of our favorites. Now the black truffle bread. I wasn't sure if we made the right choice to have one each but thank goodness we did. It was soooo good and I wanted more. We got the tuna tartare and it was our least favorite. As for the drinks, we tried a few and some were very stiff and not that memorable. The only one we really liked was the international smoke. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here and all the staff were nice and attentive. There's so many other food we want to try off the menu and plan to come back with a group to eat more. read more

This place is expensive. Get that out of the way. But the space is beautiful and sets the tone for the first class service and the amazing food, wine, and cocktails. I had two of the best dishes of my entire year in one night. First of all they started our group off with a complimentary glass of champagne and a clever pairing of three different styles of French fry each with its own dipping sauce. For the appetizers, the Steak tartare is a must have and the Crab Cake Pot Tart was ridiculously good and unlike any other dish I've seen. Like a cross between spanakopita with a crab cake filling. The steaks are all deliciously prepared to your specific level and the sides are quite generous. The wine library is extensive! Mostly beyond what I was willing to spend but still a healthy number of options that won't break the bank. The cocktail menu is very creative and will take you many visits to work through all of the options! Give this place a try as long as your budget allows and you will NOT be disappointed! read more

We had an amazing dinner at Bourbon Steak! The meal started with a complimentary trio of "baked potatoes," which were more like a flight of gourmet French fries -- each with its own unique flavor and paired with three different dipping sauces. Such a fun and delicious surprise! We came with my husband's friend who was visiting from out of town, and everything from start to finish was outstanding. I ordered the filet mignon, my husband had the New York strip crusted in horseradish, and his friend went with the ribeye -- all were cooked to absolute perfection. The quality and flavor of the steaks were incredible. I also had the French onion soup, which was rich, savory, and perfectly balanced -- honestly one of the best I've had. Between the excellent service, beautiful presentation, and perfectly prepared food, Bourbon Steak definitely lived up to the hype. We'll absolutely be back! read more

Wow!! What a welcoming entrance, stairwell and ambiance!! Love the decor ! Very 1920's vibe so come dressed your best! There were a couple men in Tshirts and hoodies but they looked sooo out of place ! It's a classy black-tie vibe!! FYI: I could barely read the menu bc it's very very low-dimmed so bring your readers lol We sat at the chefs table ! Best seat in the house ! Started with caviar tart and the Twinkie (literally made to look like a real Twinkie) and oysters! Chef sent us a complimentary French Fry flight with 3 "sauces" to dip and they did not disappoint (good if you brought kids)!!! Then we moved into the entrees- the lobster was by far the best dish! The crab was top tier!! My 2 TOP faves!!! The braised short rib was perfectly tender and flavored !! The 8 oz wagyu was a little bland but mb bc my son ordered it medium?? The salmon was not as fresh as sushi restaurants so I'd skip that dish. The sides of Brussel sprouts and spinach were just ok so mb try different sides next time! I was soooo full and pleased with this birthday experience! The staff was so attentive and accommodating. Definitely recommending this spot as a must -try!! The desserts were also delicious! The cheesecake had like a flamed sugar coating and beignets we took to go! Don't forget the "sauces" on the side !! Also, my drink (something with the word spazzz....) was really tasty- wanted to try the Steph Curry Gentleman's Cut so badly!! Yum! read more

So nice to have Bourbon Steak back! Went tonight and everything was great. Venue is fantastic - huge open ceiling with a luxury vibe and attentive staff. Our service was great as everyone has come to expect from a Michael Mina restaurant. What can I say? I think as far as Steakhouses go in SF this is right up there with the best. SF isn't a steakhouse city but there is enough good steak places now to put us on the map. Bourbon Steak is a welcome addition. Everything we had was delicious. Our attentive server knew that my wife is vegetarian so she brought out the famous duck fat fries that were vegetarian! I didn't even notice until she told us they were not cooked in duck fat. They were still superb. That kicked things off for us. We had: The Wedge: 8/10 They cut it in half and put the egg and bacon on the side for me. I thought it was good but not as good as good steakhouses that give you a huge one with chilled blue cheese dressing. Burrata Agnolotti: 8/10 This was an interesting dish and satisfying, just not mind blowing. Filet Mignon: 9/10 I ordered it with the truffle butter. I thought that would come on the side so I was a little surprised to see a pretty huge slice of it on top of the steak. I allowed about half of it and scraped off the rest. The filet was cooked medium and it was very tender. It was salted very nicely with just a hint of salt on the exterior and the truffle butter complemented it very well. I enjoyed and savored each bite. Whipped potatotoes: 10/10 These are divine. Super creamy mashed potatoes and yeah, probably a stick of butter in them but they don't taste overly buttery and are a dream. Black truffle macaroni gratinee: 9.5/10 The mac n cheese type dish at first isn't terribly impressive but as that mushroomy truffle gratinee that is spread on top starts to kick in after each bite it's a real winner. Light and creamy with bold mushroomy truffle goodness. Charred broccollini - 10/10 An attempt to make this at least mildly healthy. To our surprise it was one of the best dishes. The charred broccolini had the perfect crunch and tender interior. We also ordered onion rings but couldn't possibly eat even one of them. All in all I loved it as I have all other Mina restaurants. The vibe and atmosphere are wonderful. Service is fantastic. The food is excellent. It isn't standard steak house fare; I think he borrows from French style with a lot of cream and butter but it works and everything is salted perfectly. Normally you'd be tasting salt in everything with food like this but it's balanced perfectly in all dishes. To top off the evening Steph Curry came in with his family and some friends to dine a few tables down from us. Undoubtedly he'd like to see how his bar is doing downstairs which appeared to be doing just fine. It was cool seeing the legend in his own skin out having a good time with his peeps. Last thing I'll mention is Union Square was absolutely buzzing. It was so nice to see after so many years of doom and gloom there. It's possible the No Kings marches increased the crowds but it was as if nothing had ever changed with people everywhere and I loved it. I hope it comes back to the glory days of pre 2020. read more

Had the opportunity to eat at Bourbon Steak on Day 8 (of being open) and it exceeded expectations! It was my first time eating at a Michael Mina restaurant, and it did not disappoint. I love how the restaurant is in the Westin, particularly because we can valet the car and not have to worry about it. The bar & lounge area offers a stylish, elevated atmosphere and the main dining area's high ceilings add to its grand, upscale feel. The tables have plenty of space between them, and the chairs are plush and comfortable. We ordered: - Burrata agnolott (3.5/5): Very solid pasta dish - loved the light flavors and pillowy filling, but overall it did not wow us. - Brussel sprouts (4/5): Cooked perfectly - definitely recommend to add to your order as a side. - Tomahawk steak (4.5/5): Incredible tomahawk steak cooked to a perfect medium rare. Loved the flambé tableside unwrapping they did before the chef sliced it up for us. The meat was exceptionally tendor and the chimichurri sauce enhanced the flavor! The GM Adam went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the meal and ensuring every detail was perfect. We appreciated his attentiveness and hospitality - thank you so much Adam! read more

Our Valentine's night started out rough (and not the good kind of rough). Not because of any fault on this business' part, but because traffic getting into and around SF was particularly horrific. Like some of the worst I've seen, and I worked in the city for years. As a result, we were running uncharacteristically late for our reservation. We were running around like chickens with our heads cut off checking into our hotel and grabbing a Lyft to the restaurant. Did I mention the traffic was unbelievable? We called the restaurant a couple of times, and were told they probably wouldn't be able to hold the table. I was bracing myself for the disappointment of being turned away after looking forward to this dinner for many weeks, but happily, when we finally arrived, they were gracious and seated us. So, first a bit of background. Bourbon Steak is a Michael Mina restaurant. We loved the original Michael Mina in SF, and had a very special Valentine's dinner there one year, so we were stoked to try Bourbon Steak for this year's celebration. The restaurant is located in the Westin St. Francis hotel in Union Square. Last time we were in this hotel, Clock Bar was still around - that place was awesome, btw. Now it's been completely redone with a brand new attractive lobby bar which like every other spot in the city was packed out on Valentine's night. The check-in staff welcomed us and escorted us through the lobby and into a dimly lit, sophisticated, very grown-up dining room. The walls are dark green, with a floral/forest-y motif, very pretty. Tables are spaced far enough apart where you can have an intimate conversation. The servers donned dark green suit jackets, very classy. Our lovely server Rebecca introduced herself to us and gave us time to settle in. We started with a couple of cocktails, lemon drop for me, tequila and lime juice for RB. I'm particular with my lemon drops, I like them with minimal sweetener. I want to taste lemon, not sugar. Some bartenders don't understand this, and make them on the sweeter side anyway, but here, the lemon drop was perfect, exactly how I ordered it. The Valentine's menu was prix fixe, $150pp. It included a starter course, a main, sides for the table, and dessert. I opted for the butternut squash ravioli for the stater, and the lobster spaghetti for the main. RB had the bacon-wrapped scallops for his starter, and the filet mignon as the main. We both got the cheesecake for dessert. There was plenty of food, and I would have been happy to share one full meal, but I don't think that's an option. I ended up having most of my food packed up, I can't eat that much in one sitting. But everything was delicious. The lobster spaghetti was my favorite part. They did not skimp on the lobster, the spaghetti was perfectly al dente, and the sauce had just the right amount of spice. I don't eat red meat but RB's medium rare filet looked perfectly cooked to the ordered temperature, and he was very happy with it. We decided to order a bottle of wine. The sommelier came out to talk with us and was very pleasant. When my partner mentioned his affinity for Duckhorn wines, she asked if he had any Three Palms, which he does and loves. This somm knows her stuff! We went with a bottle of the Freemark Abbey 2021 cab, which paired well with our dinner. We took our time enjoying as we tend to do, and were checked in on but never rushed, which I very much appreciate. Very nice experience at Bourbon Steak, it definitely lived up to our expectations for our Valentine's celebration. Thank you for a lovely evening, Bourbon Steak, we will return. read more

Valentine's Day is the most important holiday of the year, eventhough I think everyday is Valentine's Day with my partner. But that's a different story. Every V Day we go to a nice, no very nice restaurant. This year, Bourbon Steak. We have been to Mina restaurants before, even on V Day in San Francisco so we knew what to expect regarding service, drinks and food. And it was dead on. Traffic was horrendous in to the city probably the worst we have ever seen and we use to be here every day. We were running late and in fear of losing our table table because we were late and there is a 15 minute table hold. Well luckily after a couple phone calls along the way we were still able to get our table. Thank you to the team. Service was flawless eventhough we "disrupted the flow" being late. I get it running a restaurant of this caliber is an orchestrated dance of sorts. My partner started of with a perfect non sweet lemon drop with little ice crystals floating on top. Being the one trick pony I am, I had tequila with lime. We also ordered a bottle of the Freemark Abby 2021 cab. A little dryer than I remembered but still excellent. We sarted of with oysters together. My partner had the squash heart shaped ravioli and lobster spaghetti. I had the bacon wrapped scallops and the Filet cause someone needs to work on the out of control cow population. We shared a Basque cheesecake and took one to go.

Our waiter was exceptional and gave us the perfect recommendations of family style to share that we followed resulting with overwhelming satisfaction. So glad we did because it was more than enough food to feed 4 adults. Also appreciated the advice from the gentlemen whose crab spaghetti recipe was from Italy, and suggested to eat right away before the ingredients settle and the taste changes. The noodles were delicious!! read more
