ABOUT

A heartfelt Californian ode to Baja ranch cooking, Bull & Butterfly reimagines the steakhouse with a soft touch and a playful spirit.

Co-Founders Alan and Heidi Jackson evoke a fresh, light take on the steakhouse experience with Bull & Butterfly, focused on meats and vegetables cooked with classic ranch techniques. With influences ranging from Paso Robles to Guadalupe, Bull & Butterfly presents a selection of dishes composed of seasonal produce, foraged flavors, and snout-to-tail culinary mindfulness. A neighborhood watering hole as much as a Los Angeles destination, Bull & Butterfly’s thoughtful, modern approach to dining captures the laidback feel of the ranch intertwined with chic California sensibility.
