  • I went for AZ Restaurant Week and got the $39 special. I went with the Roasted Lobster and Corn Bisque: Tempura Cream Corn, Spicy Apples as my 1st course, the Kobe Flat Iron Steak: Bone Marrow Potatoes, Three Way Onions, Pinot Noir Reduction as the entree' and the Seasonal Berry Parfait: Honey Granola, Frozen Yogurt as dessert. Sadly, overall, my expectations were not met by the food or the ambiance - only by the AWESOME service. The complimentary duck fat french fries were definitely above average. I could not really tell anything about them that screamed "DUCK FAT !!!" but the seasonings on the fries and the sauces were all very tasty. Not bad for "free" food !!! The "potato sponge bread" or whatever that was they brought to the table was very "meh." Bland almost. Forgettable. The lobster and corn bisque was tasty and deserves a "Bravo!" Met my expectations, maybe exceeded it a little bit. The Kobe Flat Iron, however, fell flat (pun intended.) I have prepared a Kobe NY strip (which I purchased at A.J.'s Fine Foods for $39/lb.) at home on my grill that tasted better than the dish I got from Bourbon Steak. One would expect a Kobe steak to "wow!" you when you take that first bite and also that last bite, and in this case, it just did not happen. The steak was not particularly flavorful, and was not particularly tender. The onions overpowered the dish a bit, leaving me with a strong and unpleasant "onion" taste in my mouth for the rest of the night. My advice on Kobe steak: if you want an affordable Kobe experience, hit A.J.'s and grill it yourself at home. The Berry Parfait was totally tasty. Great ending for the meal - super-fresh fruit chunks, everything worked together very well. I'd pay $8 for that on a menu. The place was very loud. It was only about half full, but the sound reverberates in that place. Tables are close together so you get to hear your neighbor's conversations, barely, above the overall din. The SERVICE WAS SPECTACULAR. Within 5 minutes of sitting down, I had my order placed, water to drink, and duck fat fries on the table. They never let me sit there waiting around for water, or to remove a completed dish - they were ALL over it like a good team. I'd bet 6 or 7 different people served my table. Service definitely was the best part of the experience. So, in summary: Would I take a date there and spend $150 per person? NO. Would I take advantage of another $39 special next year and try something new? Quite possibly, yes.
