Had a reservation on a Friday night. Service and food was excellent. It’s a very romantic atmosphere. Although the place is not overly fancy, it is extremely nice and charming. Loved the lights in the dining room, the brick and the wood. The food was worthy of a fine restaurant, presentation and taste were perfect. I would highly recommend it ! Prices were very fair. We found plenty of parking in the street.

Service was not the best. Asked for a straw 3 different times and my friend had to ask for her drink twice. The portion size of the shrimp and grits and Asparagus was laughable. The mussels weren’t that flavorful and don’t expect the cheese to melt on your burger. I wish our experience was better as we were celebrating my birthday.

We really enjoyed our meals and drinks at Bourbon Bistro. Our waitress was outstanding and offered good recommendations. Great location in a more lively part of town. Will come back.

Overall great experience. Nice selection of bourbon and good eats. The reason I gave 4 stars for the food is due to the bread pudding dessert. While flavorful with amazing cherries on top, the amount of sauce/glaze on the plate was complete overkill.

Get the filet and shrimp and grits. The steak melted in my mouth and I’ve NEVER EVER EVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE had shrimp and grits as good as the chef here does. He’s amazing. I wish i could come him.

I would give Bourbons Bistro 6 stars if it was an option! We met Chef Jereme at a cooking class in the spring and decided we needed to try the restaurant. Jereme came out to the table to greet us. He prepared an amazing dinner for us and checked on us several times during our meal. And the bread pudding…OMG!!! Absolutely sinful! Our server did a great job too! We have already made reservations to visit again!
