Elegant Bull is a Portuguese & French style basque steakhouse owned by the Machado family since 1989. The atmosphere is nothing short of zen & elegance. The food is well prepared. It is my personal go to steakhouse in the area. I hope they can keep this restaurant open for generations to come. Thank you always for your great dining services & unforgettable dining experiences throughout the years.

The best service I have had in a long time. Definitely an old steakhouse feel. The food was well prepared and looked beautiful. The taste of the food was delicious. Everything was cooked well and with care. Our server was amazing.

Of all the resteraunts I've ever eaten in from low to high cost and every state I've been, never have I eaten at a better resteraunt. The environment was so welcoming and the service staff were beyond exceptional. Frank was even there and he is such a funny guy. He had me and my wife laughing to the point our cheeks hurt. 91 years old and that guy cooks the steaks they sell there. Now to the food. We started out with frog legs and my goodness they were amazing. Such crispy and light batter. The soup was some of the best soup I've ever tasted. I really enjoyed the fact that they waited until we finished each part of our food until they brought out the next course. Overall the price was a little high but the experience made it worth it. 5 out of 5 will definitely come back.

Had a great time here tonight. Everything we ordered was perfectly cooked. Steak was delicious even the BBQ chicken was good. Portions are large and you get a lot of food with your meal. Soup, salad, dinner rolls, beans, and then your 3 course meal. Our server was very nice too. We didn't have to ask for anything as she was on top of it. Will be back to try more dishes. This was our first time here. One of the best steaks I've had in a long time.

We celebrated my father in law Luis’s 70th birthday today. Most of us had the prime rib special and it was delicious. We had Portuguese beans and bread in one course. We also had salad with blue cheese dressing. I ordered my prime rib medium rare with mashed potatoes. Luis had a root beer float with a birthday candle. This place is amazing!! My first time ever eating here. This is a MUST when traveling between Turlock and Livingston. We live 25 minutes north in Modesto and made the short trip here.

I've been coming here, at least for at least 30 years. I have never been disappointed. I will say I miss Frank and, I do see Karen once in a while, which is always a pleasure. Now I have the pleasure of seeing all the crew on the regular and I have nothing but love for them. I enjoy seeing everyone and look forward to Wednesday nights when I see my favorite bartender, Ashley and she is so fun and attentive. I appreciated the whole crew, cheers

Great food and friendly service. Some sides served family style. A bit pricy. We were a party of 4 next to a couple in empty restaurant on Saturday night!
