Amazing night!

By Chad R |

Jenny and James were phenomenal. The food was unbelievable and the wine was on point. If you don’t stop here for a rib cap shame on you!!

Great spot for upscale happy hour vibe!

By Mary-LuciaB |

We went to Essex house for afternoon drinks at the bar and it was perfect! Get an appie or share a burger but make sure to get a cocktail! Best negroni and old fashioned we’ve had so far in NY. The vibe is upscale but not snooty and quiet just like we wanted!

Outstanding

By Larry R |

Food is outstanding . Very rare that a hotel restaurant is this good . . Everything on their menu was delicious. I could eat there everyday and staying in hotel i almost did .

Amazing!

By Marita E |

John and Cris are absolutely amazing, the best team, delivering top of the line service from the cocktails to the dessert. I would highly recommend the restaurant for the food alone, but their exceptional service truly elevated the entire experience.

FANTASTIC meats.

By M.D |

Setting of a beautiful brewery, very pleasant welcome and top service. High price but the quality is there. I recommend

Fantastic Service!

By Jessica S |

Food was great and Jorge was fantastic! Such a fun dinner to celebrate my son’s birthday! We are familiar with Micheal Mena and this did not disappoint, yum!

A good steakhouse

By Aburel |

Dinner with friends in NY… reservation is a must…located in a Marriott across from Central Park south… a nice bar to wait until the table is ready…comprehensive menu and wine list…very professional service, excellent… good Bandol rose… not yet ready for the red in October… shrimp cocktail, very nice, fillet mignon medium perfectly cooked accompanied by some asparagus, also perfect… and asparagus is a challenge for any chef… hard choice for desserts, the cheesecake a wow, super smooth… we had to walk a lot after the dinner but good vibes, nice music, excellent atmosphere…

amazing engagement celebration!

By Riley T |

Marcella was amazing and made our engagement dinner so special! I hope to come back and visit this restaurant again!! 1000/10

Fabulous dinner!

By Abbie T |

Atmosphere is beautiful, food fantastic, and John and Cris were the best! We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

Amazing food, atmosphere and drinks

By Jacqueline G |

Mizan was a great host for the evening. He gave excellent recommendations on the wine, entrees, and sides. The truffle Mac and pop tart spinach are delicious sides for their steak! We will be back with friends. Great place to also bring family/kids and host client luncheons or dinners as well.

Desirae is the best!

By Felicia C |

Desirae was the BEST SERVER!! She made our visit absolutely perfect and was so attentive and caring! She went the extra mile to make our experience a 10/10!! Desirae is the BESTTTT!!! Give that girl a raiseeee for real!!!!

Jorge is the definition of Exceptional!

By Kisha P |

Jorge has sealed my commitment to the restaurant and I plan to visit every time I am in town! Thank you Jorge for being the definition of EXCEPTIONAL !!

A wonderful evening in NYC.

By Christina K |

Jenny and Daniel made our special dinner in NYC something to remember. From how they described the menu, to pointing out the popular favorites, we were able to have a fabulous dining experience. We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday, and though we were full from the meal and could not fit in dessert , our daughter was surprised with a mini dessert and a candle to blowout. We all got to enjoy a delicious chocolate bite at the end. Thank you Bourbon Steak for a wonderful evening

Great food and calm atmosphere

By Matthew M |

We had a great time, the drinks and food were amazingly prepared and our servers Jenny and Jose provided great service. Would recommend.

Best 23rd Bday at Bourbon

By Isaiah R |

Had the absolute best experience at Bourbon Steak. The restaurant is so beautiful and was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. Huge shoutout to Jenny who provided incredible service, explained the menu in great detail, and continuously checked on us. Cristian was beyond exceptional as well. He was SO warm, welcoming and accommodating which made the experience VERY enjoyable. Honorable mention to John for checking in on us and wishing me a happy birthday, he was very kind <3

Good environment

By Tommy S |

Really nice decor with amazing food. Overall a very pleasant environment. Our waiter, John was lovely and offered us a complimentary cheese cake which went down well.

Best dining experience!!!

By Charlotte N |

Visited the restaurant on our first nights stay in the hotel after our engagement during the day. JENNY & CHRISTIAN made the most memorable day even more amazing, They were so kind, genuine & thoughtful, they pulled out all the stops, made us feel so special and like it was no effort at all. The food was absolutely incredible and their food suggestions were great. Some of the best food and by far the best dining experience we have had.

Solid steakhouse experience.

By vimatravel |

We had a very good meal! The porterhouse was well prepared and good quality. Creamed spinach and crispy onion rings were good. The cocktails although served in the smallest size coup style glass were also well made, with a good by the glass wine selection. Desert was underwhelming. The trio of French fry with 3 dipping sauces was tasty and a nice whimsical treat. The service was great and the redone space a good improvement.

Amazing restaurant

By Spencer K |

The food is amazing and the service was even better! Highly recommend the beignet tower, make sure to save room. Thanks to Ryan and Vanda!

Incredible Experience at the Bourbon Steak

By Ricky R |

Went here for a company dinner with coworkers and had an incredible experience. Jenny, our server, provided us with a detailed description and recommendation of our food options, and all were fantastic. Both the service and food were amazing, would absolutely recommend this to anyone in the area!

Wonderful experience at Bourbon Steak

Perfection from start to finish.

By Amy C |

Sensational evening. Delicious Caesar salad. Amazing Rib cap and do not forget the sides. Best cheesecake ever. James took amazing care of us and Alex curated an incredible selection of wines for the evening. Can't wait to return!!

BEST SERVERS: Jenni-O yeah & Reeasy-peezy

By DJM3B |

We had the Prixe Fixe dinner because we were going to see Hamilton. We were celebrating my spouse’s birthday. I was hesitant about getting the wine pairing because I don’t know much about wine however, our servers (Jennie and Reese) did a great job explaining it to us and it paired very well. We also enjoyed the fries instead of bread. Let’s just say not your regular ole fries-delicious.

Steak.

By LostInTime |

This place is nice inside. It’s right across from the park. The shrimp were good not great. I had the rib cap which was pretty great. The server was pretty nice.

Perfect night out

By jean louis f p |

Best rib eye I can remember having, and the cheesecake was simply Devine. 10/10 food, service, and vibe! Would recommend to anyone

Can’t wait to return

By Lino D |

We loved our experience. First off, the place was a delight to be in. John and Marcela were our servers, and they were both so informative, helpful, and prompt with everything. Our food was absolutely amazing. The steak was tender and delicious, the shrimp was cooked to perfection, and it was so perfectly capped by the desert beignet tower.

Amazing meal, tremendous service and a high level of attention to detail regarding allergies

By Larry D |

My wife, daughter and I had the pleasure of dining at your NYC location tonight. My daughter has Celiac disease and a very extreme case at that. Our waiters, Jorge and Mark, were extremely knowledgeable regarding the options available for her and very patient making her feel comfortable. We had an excellent meal and really enjoyed our time, which was in no small part attributable the service along with the excellent food. Would highly recommend. Larry, Erin and Becca

Amazing Restaurant!

By Quest48418438134 |

Food was amazing, service was immaculate overall I highly recommend. Waitresses were very helpful and friendly. Good for friends and family! 10/10

Great meal on Central Park South

By Cynthia B |

We had been meaning to dine here for quite a while, and were really impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere. We were greeted by Beatrice, who was friendly and welcoming. I wasn’t very hungry, so I just ordered a side, but my husband loved his appetizers, steak, and sides. He remarked that the filet was perfectly cooked, cut, and plated. We will definitely be back and hope to see our terrific servers, John and Cris, again. Both John and Cris stayed on top of things without hovering or rushing us, and they were pleasant and attentive.

Beautiful place but too noisy.

By Albert T |

Beautiful place, friendly staff, impeccable Service and dishes above expectations, with an amuse-bouche with three different types of French fries with their respective sauces. The only strongly negative notes are the noise throughout the room bel sl above a tolerable level for a place of this lineage and a waitress with long loose hair that almost fell into the plates: in the dining room the hair should always be kept up (bun, ponytail or braid are fine).

I had a great experience

By Slava D |

The spot is really beautiful and the waiters are really nice as the wait time for the food which is really short wait time. So in conclusion me and my family had a great time

Amazing

By Ishtar A |

John was amazing!!!! Ask for him! Food is excellent! Ambience is great! We had reservation at another place but because of John we ended up staying here for dinner and we don’t regret it.

Excellent service

By Sherpa67892457218 |

John and James were incredibly thoughtful and attentive servers. Thank you both! Very accommodating to my family's allergies and ready with recommendations.

We had an incredible time, thank you so much!

By Kristen |

John and James were absolutely amazing and we had a great time! We came for a nice family dinner and they only enhanced it!

Wonderful dinner

By Justin F |

Excellent dinner with wonderful service. This is our second time to this location and we really enjoyed the whole vibe. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the Michael Amina Ahi Tuna tartar and the Lobster Pot Pie. The steaks are also excellent. The whole ambiance at the restaurant is really great with beautiful greenery mixed in. Service was incredible. They were on top of everything and could not have been friendlier. We will be back again soon!

Delicious food, luxury service

By Morgan L |

We had a lovely family birthday dinner at Bourbon Steak. The cocktails and wine list were excellent and the steak was perfectly cooked. We felt very taken care of by the service team - Jenny & Christian in particular - who insisted I tried red wines until I found the one that was my taste and who brought us some lovely extras. The restaurant has a luxury atmosphere but still made our 7 year old feel very welcome. We all walked away wanting to make Bourbon Steak our family's go to special occasion restaurant.

Unbelievably great service

By Katie F |

We had the best experience here. John was so sweet and made our experience here so memorable. Can’t recommend this place enough! We can’t wait to come back.

great service and delicious desserts

By ljbuss |

Vanda and Nikka took great care of us. Enjoyable meal and great desserts

Restaurant Week experience

By Alisha C |

Every year, my friend and I participate in restaurant week. I saw Bourbon Steak on the list and made a reservation and boy was I not wrong with my choice. The ambience was nice and cozy our two waiters Christian and John were spectacular. The food was divine and the drinks were delicious and let’s not forget the warm beignets with chocolate mousse yum-o. I highly recommend and I will definitely be returning. Next time I’ll bring my mom for her upcoming birthday. FYI, if you go do yourself a favor and order their mashed potatoes, it is to die for.

Great experience

By daniela f |

The place is beautiful, Reese and Mizan were amazing, the food was delicious and their service top notch! We will come back when we visit nyc again :)

Elegance

By Nia L |

Such an elegant and white glove service experience. The patio is beautiful and is right next to the park. We had Tina as a server and she was super friendly, charming and overall fun!

Experience to remember

By Kayla M |

Such a great experience. Everyone was so welcoming from the door to walking out. We got a tour in the kitchen and the chef was absolutely amazing to us. Our server Arben was witty and gave us an experience of a lifetime. We will definitely be back !

We'll Be Back!!

By Berneal S |

The physical space, the ambiance, the staff, the food, and even the drinks all added up to an amazing night! I had the filet mignon with the horseradish crust with a side of roasted mushrooms and a Fire Walk With Me cocktail. I was so surprised at how much space there was inside and how easy it was to navigate with my wheelchair. The staff, James and Jenny, were friendly, attentive, and were able to answer all of our questions. I can't wait to visit again!!

What a treat!!

By Sharon R |

I reserved with a note that my friend would be in a wheelchair. When we arrived, our table was ready in an easily accessible area. Our servers, Jenny and James were outstanding! Saw to our needs, yet didn’t hover, so pleasant and fun! On to the food….. oh my! Best French onion soup I have ever had! Hands down! We each ordered the Wagyu filet and it was so tender and perfectly seasoned. Onion rings - perfect! And don’t miss the desert. What a treat! We will definitely be back.

John and Christian 🤍

By Jessica Y |

John and Christian were absolutely amazing. they were so kind and took care of everything. Had a delicious dinner with the best vibes.

My review

By Noelia C |

10/10 SERVICE FROM JAMES AND NIKKA ❤️

By Grant R |

Dinner was AMAZING. Came in with a huge group and JAMES was amazing and very productive 10/10 service from James and Nikka.

Highly Recommend

By Marta G |

First and definitely not the last time going to Bourbon Steak! I got the 20oz ribeye and the creamed spinach pop tart, they were absolutely delicious! The cream spinach pop tart was super fresh and tasty and flaky. I love spinach and I definitely feel like it had the perfect amount inside. My steak was perfectly cooked at medium rare as I requested. The steak was juicy and tender and exactly what my taste buds were wanting. I recommend the “Royal Scam” cocktail, it wasn’t too sweet and was really well made; kudos to the bartender. To top it all off our server John was really wonderful and I definitely would come back because of his attentive service. Overall I would definitely recommend Bourbon Steak for a wonderful evening with great food and great service,

Perfect!

By Carrie Lucinda ... F |

John was so sweet!! Just like the food. Perfect!! Definitely returning soon. New favorite spot. Perfect ambiance to boot. Say hey to John!

Lounge & Dinner

By Kyle P |

Great dinner in the lounge, nice atmosphere and amazing service by John! Steak was cooked perfectly and the cheesecake was delicious finale!

It’s all about the beef

By BusinesstravelOz |

Group of 12 or so. When in a steak place of course order steak. 20 ounce rib on the bone was terrific. Full of flavour. Sides such as creamed spinach , complimentary fries,mushrooms etc were good. Massive wine list - not many bargains on there mind you. Beautiful space humming on a Thursday night.

Amazing!!!!!!

By Autum A |

My grandmother and I came here for a late dinner and had a spectacular experience. The food and the atmosphere were amazing!! Our servers John & Chris were outstanding! They gave us great recommendations and made our evening so special. If you come here you must request them!!!

An elegant dining experience

By Kimberlee S |

Excellent dining environment with well prepared high quality steak, sides, and elegant desserts. Waiter was polite and attentive. Ambience was relaxing, quiet and not rushed.

Amazing

By Dalyah E |

Loved this place! John and Chris were super friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Excellent service and great vibes. Thank you for the Cheesecake!!!

Food satisfactory, service not

By KatharinaStuggi |

The ambience at Bourbon Steakhouse is beautiful. Various smaller corners, in between plants and elegant “partitions” that significantly reduce the noise level. Our table request was fulfilled. Thanks for that. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the service all evening. Our waiter was rather cool and not attentive. Also, the basic service for this price range was poor. In addition to always paying little attention, the wine was also only refilled on demand. Overall unacceptable to us. The onion soup for the starter didn't quite meet our tastes and the fries the restaurant complimentary served at the beginning were rather lax/weak for a steakhouse - though a nice idea. Our beef fillets for the main course, on the other hand, were incredibly tasty and perfectly prepared. The side dishes were very good and the mashed potatoes in particular were great. For a dessert it was unfortunately not enough anymore, we were so satisfied. In summary: Great ambience with mostly delicious food, but on our day with very weak service. It's a shame.

Not the great experience others had

By Roberta H |

There were empty tables but we were seated next to the serving station. When we objected, we were moved to the next table. Many nice servers but our service wasn’t good. Drinks took forever. Alert…no need to order appetizers. Instead of bread you’re served a trio of yummy French fries with a trio of sauces. Our steaks were good but nothing special.

Awesome experience with Jenny

By Alison G |

Jenny and Cristian guided us through an amazing meal with great ambience !! Loved all of it. Thanks to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lounge at Bourbon Steak

By john u |

The steak is the best. Got this bone in ribeye poached in herb butter. Wagyu tartar with caviar is also a win as an app. Everything about this place is great! Ambiance is very classy and our server Vincent made us feel home. Thank you very much!

Perfect Steak, Even Better Service from Desirare & Jenny

By Christopher M |

If you’re looking for a steakhouse that delivers on every level, this is the place. From the moment I walked in, I knew it was going to be a great night. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with just the right balance between upscale and relaxed. But what really made the experience stand out was the service. Desirare and Jenny were absolutely fantastic. They weren’t just attentive, they were genuine—checking in at the right times, making sure everything was perfect without ever feeling rushed or overbearing. Their recommendations were spot on, and they brought such a friendly, personable energy that it elevated the entire dinner. And of course, the food… wow. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Every bite reminded me why a great steakhouse is hard to beat. The sides were equally impressive, rich but balanced, and everything was beautifully presented. Between the phenomenal food and the outstanding service from Desirare and Jenny, this is easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back—and next time, I’ll be asking for their section again.

They made our engagement so special.

By Virginia M |

I have no words to express my gratitude for Jorge, Aldo and the whole team at this place. We had the best experience here. The service they provided was top notch. They didn’t just treat us as customers but as family. My finance and I got engaged here and it was truly magical. They made everything so special from the start. The food was exceptional. We will definitely be back.

great steak

By Compass19093767191 |

delicious steak, fries and desserts and great great great service from Jenny and Ryan!! the ribeye steak is to die for. recommend when visiting new york

Must go!!! Can’t miss one of the best NYC for an exceptional experience

By John R |

What a great time! Food and service was spot on! This was my second time , and it left me with more surprises! Have to get the Salt Bake Steak- table side presentation -NONE better

Exceptional wonderful

By Fariz |

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience at Bourbon Steak at the Essex House. The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, and the steak was cooked to perfection. The scallops wrapped in bacon were phenomenal, and the pasta with white and black truffle was absolutely heavenly. Our servers, Jenny and Jorge, were professional, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. A special thank you to the manager, Emily, who checked on us with such kindness and a beautiful smile. She also recommended an excellent Pinot Noir that paired perfectly with the meal and even suggested a wonderful piano bar to end the evening. Flawless food, exceptional service, and a truly memorable night. Highly recommend!

Best experience ever

By Kayla T |

This was the best service I’ve ever had! To say that the food was amazing is an understatement. George and Wanda were amazing, they both took great care of us. 10/10 experiences. I will 100% be back.

The best steak and service I’ve found in all if NYC

By Jack R |

This restaurant was really a once in a lifetime experience, and one you must consider visiting. My favorite thing about this restaurant though was the waiters, because I have never seen such dedicated, friendly, attentive, and professional waiters in my life. My waiters names were John and Cris, and if you get them; trust them, because they convinced me to get food I would never try, food that happened to be absolutely amazing. Their service was amazing, giving great advice, and helping with every last thing. They would help serve food, push your chair in, fully clean your table off several times, and do everything to make you feel like you’re dining as a king or queen. And to top everything off, the food was absolutely amazing, it was the best steak in all of NYC, and the MICHAEL MINA'S BANANA TARTE TATIN was the best dessert I’ve ever had. One way or another this restaurant is amazing, and truly deserves a 5 star rating. The only thing I could ever say that would make you think twice about this restaurant is the price. It’s amazing food, at a steep price, something that can’t be argued with; and in my opinion, it’s worth the price. So, f you’re ready to experience luxury dining at its finest, then please, look no further than Bourbon Steak by Micheal Mina.

Ask for John!!

By Sightsee63188066894 |

John was our server and he was amazing! He went above and beyond! Definitely will be coming back and bringing my friends!

A superb experience

By Marta E |

Outstanding dinner, service and experience. I will come back and recommend anyone to try this excellent restaurant. Jorge is a superb human being who happened to be the person who lead our experience, God bless him and his family, including Faith, Ethan and Baby 1, 2 or 3, it does not matter, they are his angels in heaven. It was simply a very special night.

Great service

By Christina K |

James and Vanda made our anniversary dinner so special and were super attentive throughout the night. They made such an effort to help us celebrate.

Fantastic food and great service

By Kate E |

Fantastic food, the perfect date night if you are visiting New York. Jenny and Arben looked after us and made the whole experience that little bit more special. Can’t recommend enough.

So great!

By Connector40003638700 |

Really very good service! Very accommodative. The service was really great and they were super nice all the time. Thank you!

How amazing the bourbon steakhouse is.

By JULIAN G |

The bourbon steak house is an amazing and a well presented restaurant. What makes this place so elegant is the feeling of the restaurant. The bourbon steak house has wonderful food it might make you drool. The servers at bourbon stake house are jaw dropping from how great they are especially Jorge. Jorge has a special talent to welcoming people, because with my experience at this restaurant he made me and my family feel so welcomed in this restaurant. We will definitely be coming back, and we hope to see Jorge again so the experience at bourbon steak house can be maximized to its fullest potential.

Bourbon hit the spot

By John T |

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was great. Oysters and lettuce wedge were very good. The ribcap was delicious. The brussell sprouts went well with the ribcap. Nice wine list and dessert menu.

Good but expensive

By umbobl |

Well-kept restaurant in prossmmity of central park. Good meat (although not excellent), a bit heavy appetizer. New York bill, very expensive. Anyway I recommend it

Amazing dinning experience

By Jonathan O |

Celebrated my 40th birthday. Amazing experience. Jenny and Christian were amazing servers. Awesome customer experience. Food was top notch and amazing. Atmosphere was chill and very elegant. Will be back.

Birthday dinner at bourbon steak

By Kylie G |

Service was absolutely amazing. Food was delicious. Mizan and Ryan took care of us and it was the best service in Manhattan.

Fabulous experience, would recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a good meal, great atmosphere, and friendly staff.

By Ben L |

Came here on a date to celebrate my birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jenny and Aldo served us with timelines an respect, offering suggestions and good company. The food was fabulous showcasing the professionalism that attention to detail that you would expect from a high-end steakhouse. The restaurant itself is located in a very happening part of town, with Central Park being right across the street and most broadway shows being a quick walk, bus, or subway ride away.

Very good

By Tomm |

If you're a fan of perfectly cooked steaks, Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina is a must-visit! The ambiance is upscale yet relaxed, with sleek, modern décor that creates a warm, inviting vibe. The lighting and the comfortable seating make it the perfect spot for both a casual dinner or a special night out. The service was top-notch. The staff was not only friendly but also very knowledgeable about the menu and wines, which really enhanced the experience. While the prices are definitely on the higher end, the quality of the food and service absolutely justifies it. You’re paying for an unforgettable dining experience.

Professional services

By Silvia M |

The servicing staff was very very nice and made generous ambience during our stay. Delicious meal, various food ; everything what we needed for having nice dinner

Great food and atmosphere

By Jennifer M |

Near Central Park, great food and atmosphere, service was perfect. They bring fries with three different dips at the beginning instead of bread which is delicious. Highly recommend.

Amazing food with impeccable service

By Shannon H |

Me and my boyfriend had made dinner reservation's the day of us getting to the Essex House for 5:45. We had a show at 8pm and the hostess’s were the sweetest girls, they had helped us plan out our dinner time and how long the walk would be. Jenny and Mark were are servers and they were absolutely AMAZING. They took great care of us and accommodated to me because of my celiac and made sure we left at 7:30pm to get to our show on time. The resturant itself is so beautiful. The drinks were incredible we had ordered the Bloody Mary, the old fashion, the best M.I.M and the sour flower. The food was evenly brought out throughout our experience, which was so nice. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD, we ordered the bacon wrapped scallops ( they were the biggest scallops ever and were like butter), the 40 oz. Porter house steak (which was so tender), with the brussel sprouts and mash potatoes. Overall, it was the best meal with so much flavor and thought put into every dish. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic service

By Kara B |

Amazing service, Vanda was a fantastic waitress ❤️ The food was spectacular and I highly recommend the Flower Sour cocktail - my favourite 🫶🏼

Steak Night!

By Tyler R |

Best steak! Best server!!!

By Fern M |

Thank you John for all your advice and making sure we had a lovely experience! Steak was delicious and service phenomenal!!

John is the best!

By Danica G |

John was amazing!! So so sweet and made it a memorable evening. The steak was delicious and I haven’t had a French onion soup like that in forever. Cesar was amazing too! Big fan and I’m a steak lover.

Incredible alternative to your typical midtown steakhouse

By Chelseashewchuk |

Don’t sleep on this new (ish) steakhouse near the park. Located in the JW Marriott, the space is completely revamped from the previous restaurant that occupied it. Everything we tried was outstanding. It’s classic steakhouse, but elevated. They also have a beautiful bar area with TV if you are looking for something a bit more casual. If you want an alternative to the typical midtown steakhouse I would highly recommend! Shoutout to Jorge our server who made us feel very welcome and spoiled on our first visit!

Absolutely great dinner

By Monica Y |

Had an early dinner before an event. My husband and I were taken back with the service and quality of the food. Every item we ordered was over the top delicious, including the complimentary “bread service “ that was actually 3 different types of French fries with complimentary sauces. Just this alone is worth the visit! Vanda and Aldo were our team servers and they made our dinner flawless! Thank you for a memorable meal!

Fathers Day Dinner

By Loucas G |

Very good food and excellent service, Sea Bream was great! Overall wonderful experience and really recommend eating here.

Fabulous food, great staff

By timothyg |

A friend and I needed to catch up and he recommended this place. Excellent suggestion! The heart of palm salad was big enough for both of us. That and the garic-butter brioche alone make this place worthwhile. Neither of us wanted a steak, so he had the salmon, I had the sea bream and we both were very happy with our choices. Plus the noise level allowed for a conversation (very rare and very important) and the staff are great, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

John and Chris 5 Star Service!

By Devyn K |

John and cris were the absolute best!! They provided such amazing service to our party. Their menu recommendations were spot on and the elevated hospitality would make Michael Mina proud. 5 stars++++

Unimpressive & Mediocre

By IslandGurl007 |

Although the meal we had was unimpressive and mediocre, the hostesses’ from the moment we walked in were pleasant. But kudos to our wait staff Jenny & Christian. They were hospitable, informative, & kind. They were also very attentive. Our order: BACON-WRAPPED SCALLOPS- unimpressive 14 OZ WASHUGYU BONELESS RIBEYE- mediocre 8 OZ CENTER-CUT FILET MIGNON- warm to cold WHIPPED POTATOES, ÉCHIRÉ BUTTER- good BASQUE BRULÉED CHEESECAKE- good The steaks did not come out hot as expected. The knives were dull.

Great experience

By Sam C |

Beautiful restaurant with an awesome and friendly staff and amazing food! We came in for a date night and had a wonderful experience. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops which were one of my favorites. We shared a steak and some sides. The mashed potatoes were just heavenly. So light and fluffy! The truffle Mac and cheese was amazing as well and the presentation was awesome! Also get the pork chop! I came back on a separate visit and the pork chop was my favorite! Savory and sweet and extremely tender!

Bourbon Steak is worth the trip in every way.

By Fernando V |

Everything was just incredible: the food, the service and the overall experience. Kudos to the entire team, in particular to our waiter Marcela who made our stay memorable.

By Katelyn N |

AMAZING SERVICE!!! We have come here for our 3rd and 4th anniversaries, and they treat us so so well every single time. If possible, as for James & Mark! The sweetest duo AND the worlds best steak. If you come on a Sunday, get the Sunday Prime Rib special :)

Unmatched Service, Impeccable Meal

100/10

By Laura Cordoba |

We had such a great time at this steakhouse with our friends! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Our server, John, really made the evening special—attentive, friendly, and always a step ahead of what we needed. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, flavorful, and easily one of the best we’ve had in a long time. To top it off, the beignets were the perfect sweet ending. Light, warm, and absolutely delicious. Between the amazing food, the excellent service, and the fun atmosphere with friends, this was truly a memorable night out. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Most amazing experience and food was delicious!

John and Cris

I came here while on a trip with my family and I have never been more pleased. The food was amazing and John was the best server ever, his partner Cris was also great.

Best birthday dinner!

By Mingi P |

Everything was perfect for my birthday dinner at Bourbon Steak. Atmosphere is beautiful and the food was delicious, we loved the wagyu ribeye! Service was impeccable - John and Cris were the absolute best in accommodating my big group—extremely friendly, warm, patient, and efficient!! Thank you so much for an amazing night 🖤 we will be back!

Fun times, great food

By Brent W |

Mizan was great, super friendly and informative waiter. Food was unique and delicious. One comment is the creamed spinach pop tart should be called a creamed spinach toaster strudel. I say that as a fan of toaster strudels over pop tarts

Great for families

By Caro C |

Great service from our server Reese. We came to celebrate my sons piano recital in the neighborhood, and went above and beyond for our family!

Delicious food, exceptional service

By Abigail E |

We were served by John & Cristian to celebrate our 6th year anniversary and the service was phenomenal. The attention to detail was amazing. Food wise, we ordered the daurenki lobster roll caviar, Michael Mina tuna tartare, porterhouse steak, grilled prawns and spinach pop tart. Food was fantastic and would highly recommend.

Happy hour

By Maria G |

Love the patio st Germain deal! 2 for 1 st germain drinks on the patio only and came with a fry basket. John served us and he was really nice!

Amazing service from John and Cris!

By Aimee K |

This spot is absolutely amazing! Perfect score across the board. My husband and I came here for our 10th anniversary and had a great time. From complimentary items on the menu, to small details like hearts in our cappuccino, the service is perfection. Our servers, John and Cris, were personable and detailed oriented. Cris even came to fold my napkin after I left the table to use the restroom. We will be back for sure!!

Classy and good food in front of Central Park

By maferraris |

Magnificent restaurant on 59th across from Central Park, entering from the Marriott. Elegant but not cloying environment, attentive and precise Service in listing dishes. Excellent wine list and high Quality of food cooked very well especially meat. Ideal for a classy evening in New York.

Great night at Bourbon Steak

I Found the Best Steakhouse in NYC

By stevedri |

As an out of towner, I have done all of the "big name" steakhouses in the city, but this meal was possibly one of the best I have ever had. Jenny, a true professional and one of the sweetest people you will encounter, was my guide through this journey. I started with the Wagyu tartare and that gives you an idea of the delicious journey you are about to go on as you continue. Their drink menu is incredibly meticulous and worthy of an establishment of this stature, though I only tried one and moved to wine. For the entree I got the 14 oz Wagyu ribeye and the Jalapeno corn as a side. I got the truffle butter for the steak, but it is not necessary. A phenomenal piece of flavorful meat that is worth every penny if you so choose. Along the way, I was brought out little treats from the kitchen and the personal touch you receive is unbelievable. The entire staff emanates the vibe that they love what they do, and it shows. And be sure to enjoy their take on "bread and butter"! Most importantly though, ask for Jenny and I assure you that you will enjoy this experience to the fullest. 10/10. Will return again and again.

Attentive waitstaff and awesome food made an awesome birthday experience

By Emalee L |

John and Chris were so awesome and made our experience very special!!! Very attentive, knowledgeable about the food and drink. The food and drink was amazing… everything from the Mac and cheese to the steak were seasoned well and tasted great. Will definitely be back!

Amazing experience, great food, and wonderful staff

By Venture38839826608 |

We are an absolutely fantastic experience. We worked with two of probably the best (partner) servers there one’s name is Aldo the other was Jorge the recommendations were absolutely amazing. The steak was amazing. The appetizers were amazing and the spinach tart was phenomenal! I would highly recommend going and hopefully you’ll get the opportunity to get these two awesome waiters again!

Awesome Date Location

Good place to steak lovers

Excellent meat, the service is outstanding and the ambiance is good. We had a nice table in the window with a view to Central Park. Our waiter Vanda was so kind

Trudy & Steve

By Tyler W |

We had the best time at Bourbon Steakhouse. We first had some cocktails in the room with the bar which was so nice— there’s open seating. We then got the bacon wrapped scallops which were delicious and then steaks and all the sides of course. I had so much fun taking my girlfriend Trudy here before the Holidays. We definitely want to come back for the seafood tower.

JW Marriott - Bourbon Restaurant

Dinner across the street from the Central Park, NYC

Great place for dinner near Central Park, NYC. It has the view, ambience, the food and great service. Our waiters, James and Nora were attentive and made us welcome.

A beautiful evening all round

By Sian B |

We had just the most beautiful evening at Bourbon Steak. From start to finish, we were so well looked after and everyone we came into contact with was so friendly. The restaurant is gorgeous too. We had Jorge and Arben looking after us for our meal. Jorge talked us through the menu, giving great suggestions. The food was absolute perfection! We would really recommend an evening here - we’ll absolutely be back the next time we are visiting. Thanks to Jorge and Arben for making it such a wonderful evening

Bourbon Steak By Michael Mina - Restaurant Review

By dave4576 |

I had high expectations for Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing due to poor service and lackluster attention to detail. While we had reservations, we were seated within 20 minutes of our original reservation time, which was a positive start. However, the issues began soon after. We waited 30 minutes just to place our drink order, which was frustrating from the start. Once we had our drinks, our water was never refilled, despite multiple requests. Our party of six ordered iced tea, and we were shocked to find that the cost for the tea refills totaled over $80—despite receiving only one refill throughout the entire meal. This seemed unreasonable for such a basic drink, especially in a high-end restaurant. The noise level in the restaurant was unbearable. It was so loud that we could not have a conversation at our table. The noise made it nearly impossible for us to enjoy the meal or communicate with each other, which seriously detracted from the experience. The food also took over two hours to arrive, and while the steaks were decent, they didn’t meet my expectations for the Bourbon Michael Mina restaurant. Overall, it was a lackluster experience with slow service, overpriced drinks, excessive noise, and mediocre food. Based on this visit, I’m unlikely to return.

Good, But Very Pricey for Lunch

By CLEWOOD |

The food was very good and well prepared cooked, but the pricing for the lunch is well above what you’d pay for a steak to a salad in any other major US city or at good restaurants in some places for dinner. And the portions were small. It’s a bit confusing.

Dinner by Central Park

By C Foster |

Beautiful dining room experience. Our hosts Jenny and Jorge were fantastic! Food was amazing! Cap steak dinner and chicken were so good. Thank you!

Winding down our last night in NYC.

By Scott W |

Our servers James and Francesca were very very good! My wife’s vegetarian and James made sure she had a pleasant experience and a nice dish to enjoy. His suggestions on the menu were also spot on! Nice atmosphere.

Excellent Dining Experience

By RiverRat N |

The food was excellent and the service exceptional. We appreciated Aldo’s attentiveness to our dinner. It was white glove treatment.

Reese and Jenny recommendations!

By Jackie V |

Reese and Jenny were incredible! The service was amazing. We had what they suggested: scallop wrapped in bacon with cherry and foie ( to die for) delicious. Then we had the seasonal soft shell crab ( very light and delicious). The cocktails were so good and they are very knowledgeable about the menu! Amazing experience.

Great meal

By Stephen H |

Incredible dining experience and our waiter, James, was tremendous. Would definitely come back again and recommend to anyone.

beautiful New York evening

By Ginevra |

We didn't know where to go for dinner and we're passed by the Marriott, we stopped attracted by the outdoor tables and the inviting dishes on them. We entered and were warmly welcomed and chose to sit inside. The atmosphere is elegant and sophisticated, very New York. There are soft armchairs to sit on and the place also has a beautiful piano bar. The staff is lovely and very helpful. The portions are plentiful (even the glass of wine) and the food delicious. The price is adequate for such a place. Super recommended, congratulations Marriot!

Amazing , lovely, fantastic

By Almund S |

Vanda Mizan was such a lovely waitress! Shes very sweet and attentive in terms of any dietary restrictions you may have. She checks in to make sure the food is ok, and then to let you know about the ingredients in the food depending on the intolerance. And she is really amazing overall! Appreciate you :)

Excellent!!!
