About This Place

This restaurant invites you to indulge in a menu rich with expertly prepared steaks and an impressive selection of dishes that elevate traditional comfort food to new heights.

From the moment you arrive, the warm, softly lit atmosphere sets the perfect tone for an intimate dinner or special celebration. Each table features its own quaint light, creating a cozy yet elegant space that encourages relaxed conversation and savoring every bite.

The culinary offerings at Steak & Bourbon are nothing short of sublime. Start your meal with the irresistible Spinach and Artichoke Dip or the uniquely satisfying Crab Deviled Eggs, each bite bursting with flavor and freshness. Their signature House Steak, whether a tender filet or a robust ribeye, is cooked to perfection—each cut juicy, richly marbled, and served alongside house-crafted sauces like the smoky Gouda Mornay or zesty Chimichurri that enhance without overwhelming.

For those seeking variety beyond steak, the Short Rib Pot Roast is a standout—a braised boneless short rib paired with creamy mashed potatoes and glazed carrots, elevated by a subtle horseradish crème fraîche that adds depth and intrigue. Seafood lovers can delight in the Verlasso Salmon, flawlessly served with lemon butter and steamed broccoli, or the delicately seared halibut, echoing the kitchen’s commitment to freshness and thoughtful preparation.

The side dishes are equally memorable, offering comforting textures and vibrant flavors—from the velvety Mac & Cheese topped with fried cheese curds to the crisp, bright notes of Sautéed Mushrooms with roasted garlic and goat cheese. The house’s famous yeast rolls paired with the uniquely crafted honey butter candle also earn high praise, turning a simple bread service into a moment of delicious anticipation.

Dessert here is a true indulgence. The Crème Brûlée delivers a perfectly caramelized sugar crust that cracks to reveal a luxuriously creamy custard beneath—an exquisitely sweet finale to your meal. The Ice Cream Cone, a playful yet sophisticated touch, brings a smile to every diner’s face.

Patrons consistently celebrate the attentive yet unobtrusive service, making each visit feel personalized and special. As noted by guests like Brian Cole and Rachel Kern, the combination of impeccable food and welcoming staff transforms a meal at Steak & Bourbon into an experience worth returning to again and again.

    After a less than pleasant interaction at the host stand, the service and food lived up to the hype/reviews. As a table we tried several offerings from starters/salads straight through to dessert. Everything was REALLY good. The bread with tallow candle was beyond spectacular. The steaks(filet and ribeye) were some of the best we've had and the short rib was fantastic. Desserts upheld the bar and finished the meal splendidly. Just for situational awareness it is pretty dark inside and was quite noisy, but neither distracted much from the meal. Just know going in it's about the food not the socializing.

    Last year had great service for my birthday. This year the server nice but only refilled water once had to drink my husband's. Was there over 2 hrs. Food was excellent as always. Purchased a gift card but apparently had a new gift card system they didn't know how to use which had taken over 20 mins to resolve and stressful. I asked for discount due to the inconvenience. Server asked but was denied. Not happy about. I was trying to enjoy my n Birthday dessert but hard when had to come back to table to ask me to re email my gift card. They need to do better. I wanted to buy another gift card to use later but after this experience I won't be back for awhile.

    This is a beautifully decorated establishment and has a quiet and comfortably low lit atmosphere. Each table also has its own small table light that is perfect. The staff are very friendly and inviting. The food is amazing and cooked to perfection. There is a wide variety of food options that are beautifully prepared. This place is highly recommended and I will definitely be revisiting.

    Okay, so first off, the whole staff is totally on point with service, seriously, I notice the little things. This place is super classy, like, they work together perfectly, it's amazing. So, I took my wife here, and she loved the carrots, the filet mignon, and the lobster bisque was a big hit with her. I got the medium-rare seared filet mignon, and the brussel sprouts were so flavorful, it was incredible. I finished it off with an espresso martini that the awesome bartender suggested, and now I'm hooked! If you need a spot to go, or you're bringing someone, or trying to impress your significant other, I totally recommend this place. They have these cozy, intimate areas with leather couches jazz music in the background and chairs where you can eat, with beautiful lighting, and valet parking. This is a must-try, like, top five on your list if you're ever in Louisville, Kentucky, you gotta go.

    A top notch eating experience. The live music , extremely friendly wait staff and expertly prepared food. I had the Foie gras which was perfectly prepared wonderful consistency and great finishing taste. Also had the 12 oz new York strip with their shepherds pie. Don't sleep on this combo. Absolutely one of the best pairings I've had in a while. Fully enjoyed my time there

    Incredible food! Went when I was in the area for a work conference. Everything was good! Quite possibly the best filet I ever tasted. Halibut with crab bisque sauce was out of this world. Bread with the tallow, butter candle was delicious and really unique! This is hands down one of the best enjoyable meals I have had and will make a point to return if we are ever in the area again.
