. "Some restaurants are just better than others and you know it as soon as you walk in; BOURBON & BONES is one of those restaurants.\n\nEverything about this restaurant is 5 STARS.\n\nBOURBON & BONES\n\nCarefully selected cuts of aged beef and a sizable bourbon list are highlights at this downtown Scottsdale chophouse, also serving up seafood, global wines and craft cocktails inside a contemporary, industrial-chic dining room with hand-forged metal details and reclaimed wood.\n \nTHE STORY \n\nI had a business meeting and my colleague picked Bourbon & Bones.\n\n\"Great!\" I said. I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant.\n\nWhen I walked in, I just KNEW I was in the right place. The manager was at the host desk and welcomed me in: It felt like a good friend was having me over for dinner.\n\nI found my colleague, and the manager found us a lovely booth by the window overlooking Old Town Scottsdale. We asked him about the history of the decor, which was impossibly gorgeous. What a great and very charming guy.\n\nI had the west coast oysters and the crab cakes. All of our food was OUTSTANDING. Bourbon & Bones has the kind of menu that you can't fully appreciate in just one visit.\n\n(I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the delicious bacon that is offered as a bar snack. Such an adorable touch.)\n\nCONCLUSION\n\nI absolutely LOVE this restaurant! TREMENDOUS ambiance, food, and service! What a fantastic find! I can't wait to go back to Bourbon & Bones!\n\n5/5 RECOMMEND\n\nOF NOTE\n\n*Available for special events.\n\n*Parking wasn't evident: It's Old Town Scottsdale.\n\n*For more information: bourbonandbonesaz.com"^^ .
