We landed in the late afternoon on Sunday, Mother's Day, and most of the trendy, newer restaurants I wanted to try for Mother's Day had brunches but were closed for dinner. We asked our hotel clerk for a good steak restaurant within walking distance and she recommended Bohanan's. We weren't disappointed - a little more broke when we left -... More

The bar downstairs is cool, clubby and dark. A perfect place to start your evening. The main dinner room is light, airy, and filled with people ready to serve your needs. We were a little flabbergasted by the number of people wearing T-Shirts and shorts at a place with this kind of pricetag, but the staff were gracious to all.

I consider myself a steak expert so I generally buy my own steaks and cook them myself. That way I can buy the steaks with the correct marbling and texture. So I reluctantly decided to take my wife to a steak house for her birthday. Bohanon exceeded my expectations. The steak was correctly cooked and was so tender you didn't... More

We went to Bohanan's for our anniversary and was very disappointed with the experience. The food was just ok, which is not acceptable for the prices that you pay. The artificial plants need to be dusted really bad. So loud that we could not even carry on a conversation without speaking loudly. The best service that we received was from... More

For what you drop on a dinner at Bohanan's, it had better be a mindblowing experience, and this one wasn't. We started with their Duck Confit Eggrolls...okay, but rather bland. The drinks were great; I had a Fitzgerald, and The Missus had a gin and tonic. We ordered their ribeyes (medium rare, thanks) and a nice bottle of Neyen cabernet.... More

My husband and enjoyed having dinner with some friends at Bohanan's during Fiesta and it was outstanding. Very expensive but if you can afford it do so. The service is top notch, the food excellent and the wine selection extensive. Perfect evening.

The concierge at the hotel recommended Bohanan's immediately when we said we wanted a top quality steak restaurant for just the two of us. We arrived around 5pm, just as they were opening for the evening and were greeted warmly. The whole downstairs had the most wonderful aroma from all the fresh citrus and other fruits they use in their... More

We ate @ Bohana's during Fiesta. Both food and service were outstanding. Prices are very high but justified for the quality of the food; the menu is ala carte. The wine list is very extensive and a somelier is available. They come around with a platter of uncooked steaks and explain the aging process, cut, flavor profile. My husband had... More

I had an outstanding steak and beer, great place to take customers for dinner. The price was a bit high but the food overcame the price.

Nice atmosphere and the food was good, well presented and enjoyable. But, the staff is a bit over the top, pretentious, and expecting you to eat big drink big and spend big. I would have preferred one dedicated waiter who had a great personality rather than three who were extremely formal. The steaks are from Allen Brothers and i have... More
