Soft opening guests are already being wowed, but the big moment arrives on July 26, when Bourbon Steak Orlando officially opens its doors to the public.

A Cut Above

With a reputation for elevating the traditional steakhouse model, Bourbon Steak combines chef-driven cuisine, world-class service, and contemporary flair to deliver a truly unforgettable dining experience. Chef Mina, the culinary visionary behind MINA Group, is known for concepts that honor tradition while turning it on its head. With multiple James Beard Awards, Michelin stars, and a seat among Robb Report’s “50 Most Powerful People in American Fine Dining,” Mina’s latest project continues his legacy of innovation and excellence.

“Bringing Bourbon Steak to the world’s most popular vacation destination is a natural fit,” said Mina. “A trip to Orlando is all about creating lasting memories—and that’s exactly what we aim to deliver.”

The Magic Behind the Menu

Led locally by Senior Sous Chef Jonathan Hill, whose experience includes Shula’s Steak House and executive roles within the Swan and Dolphin and beyond, Bourbon Steak Orlando offers a curated menu packed with standout selections and signature flair.

Guests are welcomed not with bread, but with Duck Fat Fries and a trio of dipping sauces—a delicious signal that this is not your typical steakhouse. From there, the indulgence only escalates:

• Tuna Tartare, prepared tableside with quail egg and Asian pear
• Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with cherry, almond, and madeira emulsion
• Black Truffle Agnolotti with burrata and truffle butter

When it comes to the main event, the steaks are serious business. Expect premium cuts like:

• 10 oz Filet Mignon
• 22 oz 45-Day Dry-Aged Cowboy Ribeye
• 40 oz Hay-Smoked Tomahawk Ribeye, served tableside in a custom trolley

For the true connoisseurs, the Wagyu beef lineup includes the extraordinary Miyazaki A5 Strip Steak and Snake River Farms Rib Cap.

Not into steak? Fear not—seafood stunners like Miso Broiled Sea Bass and the legendary Maine Lobster Pot Pie (served tableside in a copper pot!) offer equally unforgettable alternatives.

Sides & Sweets That Steal the Show

Prepare to be tempted by indulgent sides like:

• Black Truffle Mac & Cheese
• Jalapeño Creamed Corn
• Crispy Shallot-Topped Creamed Spinach

And save room for dessert. From the brûléed Basque Cheesecake topped with Florida strawberries to the playful “On the Rocks” Root Beer Float with sassafras ice cream and walnut chip cookies, these aren’t just endings—they’re encores.

Sip in Style

The beverage program at Bourbon Steak Orlando is as polished as its menu. Think Old and New World wines, single-barrel bourbons, and standout cocktails like:

• Our Famous Martini, with lemon manzanilla sherry and citrus essence
• Fruit Ninja, a tequila-based concoction with yuzu and grapefruit
• Fairweather Friend, a sophisticated non-alcoholic option with Lyre’s London spirit and cucumber seltzer
