Some time ago, celebrated chef Michael Mina moved his eponymous flagship restaurant from the Weston St. Francis Hotel to his old Aqua space.
After the move, the hotel location was re-branded as Bourbon Steak, and with my brother Lawrence visiting us from the UK, we decided to address his love of steak by visiting Bourbon.
The room is very large, too dark, slightly less classy than it was before the BS overhaul, but overall quite impressive.
Service is almost perfect - a consistent feature in each of Mina's restaurants. The food here however, is only competent, and not stellar.
The three of us each had a different steak, but none of us believed it to be anything like the best steak we'd ever had. Needless to say, Mr. Mina prices his steaks like they are the best you'll ever have.
Overall, a great night out, with enough style to make it a great, special night out, even if you have to go elsewhere for the best steak (e.g. Harris', Lark Creek, or 5&5).
