| - Man, seriously... not again. This pains me to update my review again for basically food that was hardly edible and horrendous service at Bourbon & Bones.
So, lets rewind here for a second and get the facts straight. I first dined here a few months back when they first opened. Anything that could go wrong, did... and I still ended up shelling out over $100.00 for that disaster (that was even after they took off several just horrible items). I was invited back by their GM Nick (who was great) to have a re-do of my evening, and the food was so much better that time around that I felt comfortable recommending it to friends who were visiting from out of town.
So off we all went and yet again,and it was like a repeat of my initial visit... We waited nearly 30 minutes past our scheduled reservation time with ZERO communication from the hostesses, the food was inedible... Think shells in the oysters, the shrimp cocktail lacked any flavor and the shrimp was overcooked to the point that we couldn't eat them, the pork belly was so overcooked that it they should just change the name to beef jerky and eggs (where was that juicy pork belly). All of our steaks (but one but that's not saying much since they eat it basically burnt) were overcooked and under seasoned. The sides weren't anything to write home about, they got cold 5 minutes after being set down on the table. The whole pick your own steak knife still confuses me since it serves zero purpose.
I will give them the sexy vibe and a great location... but I am starting to think this restaurant concept group should either stick with cheese burgers and beer or get a chef in the kitchen that knows how to cook.
Yet again, I walked away from the place feeling embarrassed that I recommended this place to close family friends who forked over nearly $600.00 for dinner, and left still hungry (We stopped for pizza on the way home). Go anywhere but here... seriously anywhere.
