Great place for a quality meal with excellent service. Front of house was very professional and quick. Menu was a little more limited than what I would expect, but as long as the food is good then it's fine. Had the shrimp Louie lettuce cups which was a great, light, easy to eat 1 hand snack that you could share with 2 others. The blackened rock cod sandwich was well seasoned and balanced.

Have been here twice. Food is good, little on pricey side but not excessive. Portions all appropriately sized. The atmosphere and ambiance is excellent. They pay attention to details beyond food. For a restaurant this place has a great drink / wine menu, whoever is their bar manager has curated a great beverage menu with great cocktails and wine flights. Our server Giancarlo was outstanding. Would recommend and will be back.

This place was fantastic. The service was very welcoming and the food was delicious from the ceviche charcuterie and the filet mignon was done perfectly. The atmosphere was also an added ambience that was welcomed it gave a rustic but modern kind of Vibe which went well with the food. Definitely a great date night spot or just grabbing a good drink with friends!... Came back here again for New Years Dinners with my friends and it was even better!

We came for Father’s Day brunch and had a wonderful time! Service was great, from the greeter to the server and everything in between. We weren’t sure if we wanted to sit inside or outside so they let us take a peek and decide. Outside was lovely so we sat on the patio. Drinks were tasty, food was delicious, and everything was pretty timely. We never felt rushed or like we had to grab anyone’s attention. A bit pricy but I would definitely come back.

The patio seating is at a garden making it dog friendly. It’s serene, with lots of shades. Great for lunch. Fried chicken is crispy and juicy (order it). Onion soup is particularly well seasoned and balanced (order it). Hanger steak is flavorful and tender (order it). French dip is made quite well. Fries are well cooked. Great service. Dessert is decent but not the greatest strength. Tacos are good but also not the greatest strength.

Went for a birthday dinner with my friend Susana. She picked Bounty Hunter a new place for me, but I will be back! The back patio was shaded and peaceful with a cute fountain. We started with margaritas, then the buttermilk fried chicken appetizer (must have!! It was amazing), shared a market salad, Susana had the tri tip dinner and I had the shrimp and grits (the bomb!!) with cajun sauce, finished the meal with churros. Update 3/30/2022 Business lunch today. We shared the amazing fried chicken appetizer. I had the Bounty burger w/no bun & added bacon & avacado; two people had Chopped salads one w/prawns & one w/salmon; one had the grilled chicken sando w/a ceasar & we shared the seasonal sorbet As usual the food and service were superb and while we didn't have any, they have a great wine selection. And corkage if you bring your own wine is reasonable at $20. Update 3/15/2024 Another business lunch today at Bounty Hunter, always a fav. We shared the Tuna Poke (so fresh and the Wasabi cream the perfect touch) and Roasted Cauliflower (with some crispy brussel leaves and onion), I had the Smoked Brisket plate and subbed the fries for a salad. My colleague had the Shrimp and Grits (no Pic). Add in a nice martini, and they understand what extra olives means!
