After many hungry months of waiting, amidst the dust of the remodel at Runway, Bull & Butterfly finally opened for business on Sept. 24, serving dinner under string-light adorned gazebos on two patios.

Brought to you by restauranteurs Alan and Heidi Jackson, creators of the fast-casual, comfort food-rich Lemonade restaurants with Executive Chef Robbie Nowlin (Otium) leading the kitchen, this California steakhouse has a modern, coastal vibe that’s sure to impress Silicon Beach’s tech-heads.

In the wake of COVID-19, the traditional steakhouse has been forced to adapt to al fresco sensibilities and Bull & Butterfly has done so surprisingly well. The Jacksons had the foresight to build two patio areas, one in front of the restaurant and one on the side.

Bull & Butterfly is open Sunday to Thursday. Hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday night the restaurant stays open to 10 p.m. Reservations are available online via Tock.
