    I went here for a business dinner on a Thursday, and unfortunately, the overall experience did not justify the price point. Our party was the only group in the entire restaurant for the entire evening, which was a bit surprising. The menu was four pages long, but only about a quarter of the listed options were actually available. The food itself was just okay, and the portion sizes were quite small considering how expensive everything was. The restaurant also feels like it is in need of a significant makeover, especially given the level of pricing. At this price point, I expected a much more elevated overall experience. That said, the staff were phenomenal. They were attentive, friendly, and professional, and I have absolutely no complaints about the service. Unfortunately, the food, limited menu availability, atmosphere, and pricing just didn’t come together for me. Given the cost, I would pass and choose another restaurant for a similar occasion.

    Great food. Good service. Amazing atmosphere. The manager visited and spoke with us which was a nice touch. Excellent Wagyu. We will definitely visit again. Well worth the drive from WV.

    The food here is outstanding. Steaks are great and sides are delicious. All four of us loved the food. It's on par with Morton's, which is our bar for a high-end steakhouse. However, there's no bread service and the sides are smaller than Morton's sides. The cost is the same as Morton's. That's the problem with this place. It gives me food as good as Morton's, except less food for the same price. So why would I come here again when I can just go to Morton's? They either have to drop prices a bit or make their sides bigger to make this a compelling alternative.

    Bourbon Boulevard-Chantilly serves the best French Onion soup I’ve ever had. Since it’s far for me, I was excited when BB opened in Sterling, and even more excited that French Onion soup was on the menu. Unfortunately, there’s a different chef at the Sterling location who has a different take on this soup. While it was tasty, it pales in comparison to the Chantilly location’s soup. Chantilly’s soup was an excess of multiple cheeses (Gruyere and Provolone), with an elaborate mushroom garnish and side of crostini. While I like the Sterling location, I won’t return unless you can replicate Chantilly’s French Onion soup. Thank you!

    Prime ribeye and wedge salad were very good. Service was great. It was a soft opening so still some minor kinks to work out as expected. ONE STAR - alcohol. . They had no drink menus yet alone pricing available. Three glasses of a cheap Malbec cost $105.... $35/glass is criminal....whomever sets the pricing should be ashamed of themselves.
