BOURBON STEAK

An outstanding meal with exceptional service. The staff were all overly attentive and the food was out of this world! Highly recommended, especially if you’re a skeptic of restaurants in hotels. Wow!

Once in a blue moon do I give a restaurant 5 stars in all categories. And at 4.4 rating on Google, I can confidently tell you Bourbon Steak is underrated. Yes, you heard that right. Underrated. Bourbon Steak is what I consider the "workhorse" premium steak house that can be visited often without having to feel awkward, out of place, or artificially frothy, while being able to enjoy some of the best, well balanced, thoughtfully prepared food in Arizona. The atmosphere is a mix of modern and contemporary layout, but with class and style. This isn't far from your RH Modern catalogue but again absolutely practical. High ceilings. Large windows. Perfect lighting for a date night or business meal. Yet, not too quiet to make you want to whisper. It's not overdone. It's not pretentious. Love the small passage into the restaurant welcome desk from the Fairmont lobby. Now let's talk about the food. The menu doesn't scream "let me be special and different". This isn't your modern fusion steak house. It's calm. It's composed. And it timeless classics are formulated to perfection, yet with its uniqe pizzazz and character. The tuna tartare was sublime. Perfectly marinated and oiled. The egg yolk balanced and mixed well on the spot. And there's this micro spice kick that just balances the typical "greasiness" that rich tuna taratre may give off after the third bite. Just with this classic, we knew that the chef was world class. Hamachi crudo was also well balanced. The cucumber bed provides the necessary crunch to hold the slippery crudo in your mouth. And the sauce bonds the ingredients together. Now to the steak - we had the American Wagyu 10oz cut. I do not believe it is possible to cook a better steak. It was perfect. Perfect seasoning. Perfect crust. Perfect medium rare inside. Perfect cut. I have no other word to describe it. And the lobster pot pie... quite good and put on a show literally but I think it was a tad bit bland and wish there was more of the crust to eat the lobster with. The dessert. Yes, the beignets were awesome. Some of the cushiest ever. And yes the creme brulee was meaningful. But if you are at the Bourbon, you MUST, and this is a MUST try the "banana foster". I have had hundreds of banana fosters in my life and have never come across a concoction as such. The caramelized banands are thinly sliced and put together on the externals of a some type of soft bread or creme with the ice cream balanced on top. Not only does this look phenomenal but the chef nails the balance of ice cream, banana, the internals, and the sauce. This one dessert was it. I had already made up my mind with the last spoon that this review shall be 5 stars. And to put the perfection together and wrap it in a bow, was our server DJ (Devon Jones). His hospitality, friendliness, and effort to truly guide us through the night was on another level. The best service is a someone who genuinely cares about you. And Devon deeply cared about our experience and that shone throughout the evening. Thank you. I do not live in Scottsdale or Arizona. But I'll be grabbing a meal here each time I visit the city. Fairmont Princess has a jewel and we found it tonight.

First I would like to thank Steve our server and Alysha the bartender for creating such a memorable birthday dining experience! Their attention to detail and ability to be present but not too present is a special talent. We enjoyed watching Alysha craft perfect cocktails from our table in the lounge area while lingering into our meal. Steve was knowledgeable, funny and personable. His recommendations were spot on and much appreciated since this was our first visit (Won’t be our last!) Thank you Bourbon Steak for an unforgettable evening The food, drinks and Staff are all 5 ⭐

High end steakhouse. The steak was fine but the black truffle Mac and cheese and the beignets stole the show. Get all 3 flavours of the beignets, and try the bar too for pre dinner drinks. Good vibe The service was okay, i guess she had lotsa tables to wait on.

The atmosphere is upscale but still comfortable, making it a great spot for a special night out. They start you off with duck fat fries, which are ridiculously good and come with three different dipping sauces. One of the highlights of the meal was the Maine Lobster Pot Pie—flaky, buttery crust with tender lobster and fresh veggies inside. It’s rich, comforting, and totally worth it. The steaks are top-notch, cooked perfectly with just the right amount of char on the outside. One thing that really stood out was the sommelier. She was amazing at helping us find the perfect wines. Whether you’re into bold reds or funky whites, she’ll guide you to a great choice. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive without being over the top. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but for the quality of food, service, and the overall experience, it’s absolutely worth it.

We will be recommending Bourbon Steak to all our friends. The food, service and atmosphere was well worth the money. If you want the best -- it costs a little more. Bourbon Steak is definitely 5-stars across the board.

I’m local to the area but came in tonight to visit a friend who’s staying here for work. We dined at this lovely spot and I was not disappointed! I went for the lounge hamburger (because, shockingly, I wasn’t in the mood for steak tonight!) and it was so good. We also tried their twist on a caprese salad—complete with puff pastry and amazing pesto—and it was fabulous. The trio of fries with duck fat, a.k.a. their signature bread service, was fun to sample. We liked the salt and vinegar one the best… call us salty, haha. We wrapped up with fresh beignets and butterscotch Macallan sauce—such a treat! We arrived right when they opened, and even in the heart of summer the vibe was awesome. Things were just starting to pick up as we were leaving. The bartender, waiter, and all the service staff were fantastic. I always had what I needed without ever feeling overwhelmed by service. They gave great recommendations, and I’d highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be back!

Jeffery was outstanding and a big reason that our meal was spectacular. We are absolutely blown away. We didn't know we would get a meal in the same caliber as Michelin star restaurants in Las Vegas. Well done , thank you, and keep it up!!!!!!!!!!
