After wanting to try Bourbon Steak for months, we finally went for Restaurant Week. I wasn't sure how far $29 pp was going to get you at a Michael Mina restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised. First off, I am not a fan of hotel restaurants, but I immediately forgot my location once we walked in the entrance. The place had a great vibe and if the weather would have been a bit cooler, we would have wanted to sit on their awesome patio.
Straight out of the gate, they brought the french fries that I had read so much about. Three different seasonings....three different sauces....and fried in duck fat.....(cue the Homer Simpson drool sound.) Amazing. This was followed by freshly baked focaccia bread, served right in a mini cast iron skillet.
I went with the Corn Soup and Jalapeno Grilled Jack Sandwich appetizer, followed with the Skirt Steak main course, and finished with the still hot Beignets. Every bite was amazing and I was sorry for it all to end.
Our server was extremely knowledgeable an enthusiastic about the food as well. The only black mark I would give the restaurant was their very poor selection of vodka.
Still the meal left me wondering why it had taken me so long to try Bourbon Steak and definitely has me making plans to go back soon.
