First time visit to Steak and Bourbon and I will return again. The rolls with beef tallow candle were a fun starting touch and the caesar salad was one of the best I have had, and huge. Was planning on ordering the Top Cap Sirloin, but was told they don’t have it anymore and need to reprint the menus. Ordered the 10oz filet rare plus with a side of creamed spinach. Did not disappoint.

Great food. It was hot. It was well timed. It was delicious. Short ribs and shrimp with pasta. Great selections. Food and wine. Attentive employees. Sincerely friendly. Is there anything you can do about the acoustics? Very difficult to converse without really yelling. If I owned the facility, I would seek professional help with sound dampening.
