"Bourbon is our top steakhouse in the city. But what really puts this location on the special occasion map is the 360-degree view of Nashville you get from its perch on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott Downtown. So if you’re looking to impress someone and are prepared to drop some serious coin, this is the place to do it. Most of the steaks are poached in butter before they're seared, and you can especially taste that richness in any of the eight cuts of wagyu. Beyond filets of beef, you have fresh oysters and a ridiculously decadent smoked Valrhona chocolate s’mores cake. All of it is brought to your table by servers with impeccable timing and really intimate knowledge of the menu—right down to the cattle farms where they source the beef from." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
"Bourbon Steak is an innovator in the field of pre-meal bread baskets. And by that, we mean they’ve gotten rid of the bread altogether and replaced it with a trio of different fries and dips. Beyond the free spuds, you can look forward to fresh oysters, a pot pie filled with brandied Maine lobster cream, and a juicy Australian wagyu. The steakhouse is on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott, and they definitely capitalized on that real estate. There are windows all around the room giving you a 360-degree view of the Nashville skyline, and the rest of the space looks like a jazzed-up hotel ballroom. Regardless of where you sit, the service and menu make you feel like you’re dining in an oligarch’s private villa." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak

"Bourbon Steak is a high-end chain with outposts in LA, Miami, and DC. What’s specific to this location—and what makes it our top steakhouse in Nashville—is the 360-degree view you’ll get from its perch on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott Downtown. While the view is indeed incredible, the food gives it some stiff competition. Most of the steaks are poached in butter before they’re seared, and you can especially taste that richness in any of the eight cuts of wagyu—including a 40-ounce tomahawk that comes hay-smoked tableside. Beyond filets of beef, you have fresh oysters, a pot pie filled with brandied Maine lobster cream, and a ridiculously decadent smoked Valrhona chocolate s’mores cake. All of it holds up to the greatness of the steaks." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, carlo mantuano, ann walczak
