Bourbon Steak Orange County in Dana Point

Superb, every single staff member is nice and friendly, accommodating to our anniversary dinner. We only ordered a little bit cause our stomach can only take so much. Oh my, the banana souffle is really good.Its worth the wait. The beignet was fluffy, and the chocolate dip was cherry on top. Wagyu and dry aged were our favorite with our family.

About a week and a half ago I met with my manager and was informed that I had been promoted!! We had a lot going on last weekend and this, but we finally made it out to a celebration dinner. This place did NOT disappoint. My husband loves his old fashioneds so he started off with a new school version of an old fashioned and I got myself a fruity little mocktail that was pineapple juice with strawberries and ginger beer topped with freshly grated nutmeg (I do not like the taste of alcohol).They started us off by serving us a component of the chef tomato bisque with a drizzle of chile oil in the cutest little espresso cup. It was 10 million degrees, but it was creamy and delightful! The sweet/savory was a perfect flavor to start the evening off. They also brought out a trio of French fries. (See posted photo) Left side is furikake fries with a sesame mayo dipping sauce. Probably both of our favorites. The sesame oil in the mayo was so delicious and really shined with the furikake fries pairing! The middle set of fries were Parmesan fries with a truffle cream dipping sauce, which were seasoned amazingly and the truffle flavor levels of the sauce were absolutely perfect! The right set were house fries with a yuzu ketchup dipping sauce. The yuzu ketchup threw us off because it worked. It just worked so well!They had a special off-menu appetizer offering, today. The restaurant has its own private fisherman who caught a 98 pound tuna on Friday and they were serving toro from this fresh catch! We were originally going to go with the instant bacon appetizer, but once they told us about this, we were both like, Yes. It was marinated in a housemade ponzu topped with a generous pile of green onions and freshly shaved black truffles. Phenomenal. Melt in your mouth delicious tenderness. You could really taste the freshness!Following that, we got a bread roll that rocked our world. The roll had salt crystals on the top and brushed with butter, and they were STUFFED with truffle butter. No joke, both of us had butter exploding out of our rolls with each bite! It was messy, but soooo good!!!For our sides we got the truffle mac and cheese (phenomenal) and the roasted fingerling potatoes with bacon and cheddar. We are pretty sure they boiled those potatoes in butter, because the buttery flavor was throughout the potatoes lol!My husband ordered the 6oz Mishima reserve Wagyu filet mignon crusted with blue cheese for his entree and I ordered the 8oz Snake Rivers Farm Eye of Ribeye with a king crab Oscar accompaniment for my entree. Both were amazing, cooked to perfection, seasoned to perfection, and we both preferred our chosen cuts of meat over the others (as it should be).DESSERT!!!! We ordered the basque cheesecake. Holy sweet mother of all things creamy and delicious... I cant even describe. The sweetness was perfect. Not too sweet. The custard texture was smooth and not too thick. The strawberry sauce was sweet at all the perfect levels. Despite being beyond full, my husband and I demolished this slice together. Hated ourselves afterwards, but enjoyed the ride to self-hate.To end the night, our check was delivered with these dark chocolate covered caramel squares. My husband is not a fan of dark chocolate (I am, though) and even he enjoyed these chocolates!

Amazing dining experience from start to finish. Amuse Bouche, duck fat fry trio, gulf shrimp appetizer, Thai snapper dish with all the accompaniments. Helen Turley White Coat Rhône blend for the food pairing!Service over the top, extremely professional and knowledgeable!

When dining in at Bourbon Steak Orange County, you are in for a real treat. With breathtaking ocean views of the pacific, the restaurant is located just to the left when entering into the hotel lobby of Waldorf Astoria Monarch - Dana Point.Upon entering the restaurant you are already blown away by the wine selection and friendly restaurant greeters. Our server was Thomas, who was well educated on the menu as well as the specials for the day. We were impressed by the delicious amuse bouche, (3) varieties of duck fat French Fries (with complimentary dipping sauce pairings), from there we had the Cesar Salad, Filet & Order the special Wagu Ribeye, with (3) sauces (including: Béarnaise, Peppercorn, & Chimichurri). The steak melts in your mouth and our taste buds were exploding! The whole culinary experience is off the charts and we couldn’t recommend it more. Must visit while in the area.**For those of us who do not drink alcohol, they have a speciality curated non-alcoholic beverages available upon request**Valet parking available

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The service and staff were amazing! In my family’s opinion, it was the single best dining experience we have ever had. From when we entered the Restaraunt, the hostess sat us promptly at a very nice table with a beautiful view of the coast. We were then welcomed by the maitre’d, Lyle, who again was outstanding. He came back a couple different times throughout the evening to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.When Isabella, our waitress came out, we knew she was going to be perfect! Every question we had about an item on the menu, she answered and would give helpful insight into other options if we couldn’t come to an exact decision on an item. Whether it was a drink, appetizer or our entree, she helped us pick out the perfect meal.If there is such thing as the “perfect” culinary experience, this was it.Chef Chris and his staff really outdid themselves and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience at Bourbon. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely fantastic! Great staff, amazing views and outstanding food. I would highly recommend for any occasion from date night to a company dinner this is a place that you must experience!

Great location inside the waldorf astoria monarch Beach (Daaa Point). Not really much of an ocean view unless youre on the outside balcony. Food is delicious- steal tender and off the charts. Miso Cod and scallops were good but not the best. I like my scallops with crisped outside. Cod was in a few pieces and not a filet. Appetizers were great.

What else can I say except the absolute best dinner Ive ever eaten in my life. The service was outstanding. The chef gave some freebies to all the tables including a truffle bisque and duck fat fried French fries. The steaks were PERFECT especially their wagyu and the truffle mac and cheese was to die for. 100/10

Wow is all I can say!!! What an amazing experience! The service is superb and the food is amazing. The little details is what sets this restaurant apart from the yummy treats they serve before your actual food arrives to the chocolate candies at the end and the amazing view … it’s a definite must visit. We will absolutely be back especially for the truffle butter rolls that are out of this world!

What a fantastic place to dine! If available, seat outside and enjoy the view.The corkage fee is high, but then again if you have a special bottle, take it with you. Youll save a few hundred dollars which you can spend on all the amazing dishes and steaks they have. But, they also have an extensive wine list (not enough selections from Spain though, just the usual suspects).Share the big pieces, get them perfectly sliced. A bigger party can try more things!The service is absolutely professional, detailed and friendly.
