Bourbon Steak

What Bourbon Steak does

Bourbon Steak is a private, multi-location modern American steakhouse brand founded in 2007 and operated by Mina Group, the restaurant management company founded by celebrity chef Michael Mina. The company runs 11 active full-service restaurant locations across the United States — in Washington DC, Scottsdale, San Francisco, Orange County, New York, Nashville, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Delray Beach, and Orlando (temporarily closed) — with a 12th location scheduled to open in Charlotte in 2026. Eleven of the twelve locations are co-located with luxury hotel properties, including Four Seasons (DC, Las Vegas), JW Marriott (New York, Nashville, Miami), Waldorf Astoria (Orange County), Fairmont (Scottsdale), The Westin St. Francis (San Francisco), The Seagate (Delray Beach), and The Ritz-Carlton (Charlotte, upcoming); the Los Angeles location is in the Americana at Brand luxury retail center.

The offering centers on prime cuts of beef, dry-aged steaks, A5 Japanese wagyu, fresh seafood, signature dishes such as Maine Lobster Pot Pie and signature duck fat fries, and experiential elements including tableside old-fashioned cocktail service, private chef's-table dining, and curated rare-bourbon and wine programs (with Wine Spectator recognition at the LA location). The San Francisco location was re-concepted in 2024 as 'S.F. Bourbon Bar With Michael Mina' in collaboration with NBA player Stephen Curry's restaurant group. Each location operates as a sub-brand with its own executive chef drawn from pedigree kitchens (Bouchon, é by José Andrés, Addison, MICHAEL MINA 74 Miami), while adhering to Mina Group's standardized training and operational playbook across its 30+ restaurant concepts.

The business model is direct-to-consumer dine-in restaurant sales (food and beverage) supplemented by private events and full-restaurant buyouts. Revenue is generated per cover on an à la carte basis, with premium prix-fixe tiers (e.g., $145 My Egypt tasting menu in LA, $75 pre-theater parkside menu in NYC) and event-driven group sales marketed through dedicated inquiry forms. Distribution is exclusively physical; no delivery, takeout, or e-commerce channels are operated. Reservations flow through the brand's own website plus OpenTable and Sevenrooms. Marketing relies on location-specific Instagram and Facebook accounts, email newsletter signup, partner hotel co-marketing, and earned media including TripAdvisor (#3 U.S. fine dining), Eater DC, and The Infatuation.

• Mastro's Restaurants: High-end steakhouse and seafood chain known for live music, premium beef, and an upscale lounge-driven beverage program. Closely comparable to Bourbon Steak on price point, ambience, and customer (celebratory/affluent diners), and represents one of the most direct competitive alternatives in the premium steakhouse segment.
• Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse: Upscale steakhouse known for extensive wine list, private dining, and corporate entertaining — a near-direct peer to Bourbon Steak in ticket size, ambiance, and target customer. Operates fewer, larger freestanding locations compared to Bourbon Steak's hotel-embedded model.
• Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group: Iconic American steakhouse operator with multiple U.S. locations. Comparable to Bourbon Steak on classic American steakhouse positioning and high-end wine/spirits program, though operating as a freestanding chain rather than co-located with luxury hotels.

Broad incumbents

• The Capital Grille: Darden Restaurants-owned premium steakhouse chain with national footprint.

• Jean-Georges Restaurants: Celebrity-chef-driven luxury dining group with hotel flagship locations. Comparable to Bourbon Steak/Mina Group on chef-led branding, luxury positioning, and presence inside top-tier hotels. Represents the broader competitive set of hotel-embedded, chef-anchored fine dining.
