This review is for drinks only. They do happy hour til 7 pm. I went there to meet a friend who works in the area. It is about $14 for a margarita but during happy hour it's like $6 I think? Anyways the margaritas were made rally good and spicy (jalapeño). The ambiance is great and very intimate. It's a bit small (at least where we were sitting) but it's perfect for a date i'd think. Dimlight, candles and not too loud in there. The servers were friendly as well.
I'll keep this short – it looks unassuming from the outside but it's beautiful inside. Ask to sit upstairs if possible. There's an outdoor patio but my friends and I visited when it was quite cold so we didn't get to see it.
Everyone enjoyed their brunch meals. I don't remember anything standing out but everything was good. It seemed like service that day was a little slow, understandable since every table was filled with patrons. It's a bit pricey but I think it's a great spot to bring a date. There's a great coffee spot down the block (Tobys Estate I think?) and Big Gay Ice Cream nearby.
The restaurant itself has great ambiance and the staff couldn't be nicer. However, the food is just okay.
The fluke ceviche was decent – fresh and in lime/lemon juice but nothing to go wow over.
The mushroom raviolis are good but a bit watery and with all the french places that kick mushroom sauce butt, this one was a bit of a disappointment.
I tried the skate as an entree but it came out stringy and almost raw so i sent it back. Maybe it's my fault as i'm used to crispy skate wing with capers from the Ocean Club which is the best fish in the city, but this one was quite underwhelming.
To be fair, my girlfriend had the pork belly and liked it very much. I took a bite and it tasted like raw bacon. To each his/her own, eh?
Dessert was good but I don't go to a place like this for their dessert. Again, great staff and vibe but why come back?
Eh what to say really. Come here for brunch. Unimpressed. Decor is really nice. Upstairs with the outdoor seating and "garden". Service is blah. Server didn't really know anything about the menu and he only came to take our order and to pick up our check, asked him questions he was like "food is good here"……..amazing -_- and that's just is the food was alright. Looks better than it tastes. Had Brunch, eggs benedict and french toast. French toast was alright nice thick bread a bit sweet. The selling point for the eggs was that the biscuit they served it with was home made. It was a dry crispy flat cracker. Girl bye.
This review is for drinks only; I've not tried the food.
I came here with a friend after dinner on a Friday night at around 8pm. We wandered around the Village before choosing this place. The bartender was really friendly, and the drinks were pretty good. I had the Cripple Creek, and my friend ordered a mojito, which he enjoyed. It's very cozy, dimly lit, and wasn't too crowded when we went. Would definitely return.
I can't imagine why anyone would give this restaurant less than 4 stars – I just really don't see it. Harsh critics out there. The food, service, atmosphere were all fantastic, and the only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is that the vegetable sides that came with both dishes were ridiculously salty.
I had the special, which was pork chop in a planko and bacon crust. I'll pause now while you re-read that: pork covered in bacon.
…As you can imagine, it was delicious.
Would love to go back and sit downstairs in the bar area which looked a teensy bit more trendy than the charming upstairs dining room.
Love this cute little brownstone nestled in the village. The service is superb. The food was excellent, We started with the bobo salad and the foie gras. Now the foie gras a wasn't actually the best I've had and was quite pricey, so Id skip that. The bobo salad was a light and refreshing way to start the meal. Our main course was very tasty. I had the longe de porc that came with a side of black kale which I really loved. My date got the pappardelle au canard (duck) which was equally delicious. For dessert we finished off with the beignets and the chocolate mars bar. The beignets were perfect, fluffy, powdered-sugar frosted, fried doughballs of goodness that came with a little chocolate dipping sauce. Supreme. The Mars Bara had a very rich flavor with a very rich side of salted caramel ice cream which almost melted immediately and nearly impossible to scoop up without licking the plate (didn't do that, but was tempted). The bar itself had a chocolate crunchy crust and filled with a milk chocolate mousse. Overall would come back, especially to check out the brunch!
The Quick: An underground, candle lit restaurant, Bobo is perfect for happy hour or a first date. Great specialty drinks to help get your seductive face on.
The Details: Although I've only tried the ravioli (which were very good), the happy hour special is what keeps me coming back. Losing one star for the rude waiter the last two times we were there. It has been a while since I've been, so I'll reconsider after our next outing if we have better service.
The Damage: 2 for 1 specialty cocktails (so ~$7 each from 5-7pm).
