Bourbon Steak Orange County

We made reservations for dinner when we made hotel reservations. We were called the night before reservations and told the Chef had a special menu for Valentines Day and not able to order off regular menu. The cost was $180.00 per person. We weren?t crazy about the menu and because was night before Valentines Day we kept reservation as other locations were already full. Valentines Day was our 35th wedding anniversary and was a special occasion! We asked for no oysters and they gave us extra scallops. The Caviar was an extra $65.00 up charge and if not we may have tried it.,We were first brought Flight of Fries that were not on menu like an appetizer. They were saltier than we like. Next we were brought bread with garlic butter inside. The tomato bisque soup (not pictured) was brought by 2 servers that each poured soup into our bowls that had 2 small pieces of bread. Next we were brought salads with avocado mouse. It was a very small salad. Our striplion entrees were brought next and steak was good size and delicious, though mashed potatoes vegetables were minimal. There was no actual cheesecake with strawberry Nutella desert. There was a bed of graham cracker crumbles under strawberries. Lastly we were brought 2 pieces of chocolate with sea salt and 2 to-go bags of Carmel popcorn when the server brought the check. Our dining experience was about 3 hours. We noticed some others that came after us received some of their courses at the same time and glad we didn?t. The kept out water glasses full most of the time, until closure to end. The service was very attentive. They de-crumbed our table and brought fresh plates and silverware between each course. We expected the regular menu may have cost about $100.00 each and were not expecting this higher cost and menu the night before our anniversary reservation. Overall was not what we expected, as would have ordered different items we saw on the regular menu.

Michael Mina?s restaurant in the Waldorf Astoria. came here in a group of 14 for a post-proposal celebration and we had a reservation at 8 a.m., but we were not sitting on a Saturday night until half an hour after the time. Parking only $10 with validation). Interior and outdoor food. Credit cards accepted. Rest rooms outside the restaurant at the Hotel am Ballsaal. The service was nice when they were present, but there were long distances of waiting for sitting, while waiting for order and during waiting for check. By food, the anvil was a tuna bite on a rice cracker, the middle was a bit soggy). We decided to do family style so that we can try more things. The Tomahawk is good for 2-3 people to share and comes with 2 pages. It comes with table service, so if you enjoy pomp, it is a good dish to order. The brussel sprouts and the truffles Mac and cheese were the best options. The mushrooms would be the next best. The asparagus was too buttery and the mushroom risotto was a bit bland. I liked the free bread provided while the free pommes were just okay some had too much rosemary on it). I liked them to give the option of 3 dips. We also got the NY Striploin, which had a light radio, and was preferable to Tomahawk. In my opinion, Wagyu was the best tasting cut. The consensus was that the Tomahawk would have used more season/salt. Dessert-wise, they gave us free chocolates that had Gandache filling. We have a chocolate bar with honey ice cream on the side. I have a pot of green tea they have to ask Jasmin and Sencha for the tea aficionados. They also gave us caramel popcorn as a parting gift. It was definitely an experience to splurge, but I have mixed feelings about food and service.

Duck fried fries with accompanied dips. rosemary, tahin, and basil. Amazing truffle bread that was buttered. Just so wonderful. I would come just for the bread. Sitting Louis Napa Cabrinet 2018. Amazing red wine. Cherry Vodka Sour, bees knees, and reposado tequila on the rocks with oranges are both phenomenal drinks. Cant go wrong with old school cocktails. The shellfish platter (boiled with miso infused butter and lemongrass tea) was just hands down amazing. You get 4 shrimp, 4 oysters, a crab leg split in two and 1 lb main lobster. Ribeye Cap special was pretty good. had great flavor but not as melt in your mouth as other places. Shiitake mushrooms on the side were just amazing though. Tuna tartare was awesome. Definetly recommend. Very strong sesame oil that was of the highest quality. The tuna wasn't drown in it. Great balance with pine nuts and pears. Superb. Ordered brussels sprouts side to share with the table!! SO good. There were pomegranate seeds and they were fried but almost caramelized with honey. Slightly sweet and perfectly cooked. The beignets with creme brûlée was recommended but we got the chocolate peanut butter bar with ice cream. It was probably a 4/5. Overall we had a great dinner. We sat outside and watched the sun set. Lovely evening and great waitresses and servers. Wine specialist got us the best drinks.

Patio seating offers a little quieter experience along with a beautiful view of the Pacific ocean. This is a steak house and they do steak well. A few notes, the experience starts off with their duck fat French fries, which are crispy and good, served with several seasonings and sauces. Then they offer a brioche roll brushed with truffle butter AND filled with the same butter. I'm posting this so people out there are aware how much carbs are served ahead of the actual meal, so don't fill yourself up, plan accordingly. Their weakest course was dessert. We got their special dessert which was bread pudding with seasonal strawberries and fresh whipped cream. It was just okay, not too sweet and maybe the strawberries weren't fully ripe yet, if you want something sweeter order one of the other desserts on the menu. Wish they had more classic steakhouse dessert items on the menu to end the meal on a sweet note. All the staff were very nice and friendly. It was a nice place to visit at least once.

Delicious clean taste excellent presentation. Shrimp cocktail and crab was excellent along with the mushroom and truffle Mac and cheese. Love how to give complementary abuse bouch and apps. They'll take care of you here.
