I came here for a birthday dinner and the overall experience was amazing. The cellar has an easy going vibe and it’s more loud. We had a drink there while we waited for our table upstairs. Upstairs the restaurant atmosphere feels different but in a good way. It’s simple but charming and it goes pretty well with the French menu. Our waitress was amazing, fast, helpful, had good recommendations and knew a lot of the wine selection. I don’t know a lot of wine but we tried 4 types and they were all good. Excellent service. The menu is short but with a lot of good things. Everything was super tasty and I would recommend sharing all the dishes so you can try as much as possible. They even gave us a surprise birthday cake ! I will come back !
We really enjoyed our dinner here at Bobo with friends. It's located in a charming townhouse with a covered outdoor terrace on the upper floor, perfect for dinner on a summer evening to enjoy the late sunset. The food itself was superb - each dish was clearly prepared with excellent technique and ingredients. We shared 3 appetizers in our group - the truffle croquettes, Parisian gnocchi and grilled octopus. I particularly enjoyed the truffle croquettes, which included corn roasted in honey. For my main I got the sasso chicken fricassee on the recommendation of our server, which I thought was surprising given that chicken breasts served in restaurants aren't usually bestsellers. The fricassee blew me away - it was tender, juicy, and flavorful, with very crispy skin to complement it, in a nice white stew. I would order the chicken again next time I eat here.
Food was absolutely incredible, traditional french flavours but still elements of unexpected. The restaurant is in over many floors in a townhouse and the ambiance is 100% what you'd hope it is: dim lit, calm, cozy with the perfect sound level for a nice dinner and a glass of wine Service is perfect although a bit on the faster end. Definitely coming back very soon!
Fantastic little gem of a restaurant, always consistently delicious food. The mushrooms and gnocchi were standouts, as were the almond/pear dessert. In between, the hanger steak, meatballs, and hot cider try yours with a shot of whiskey were all great. The Bryant Park location serves up just as delicious food, and atmosphere.Food: 5/5
The best part about Bobo is the setting. Set in a brick-laden West Village townhouse, this French restaurant has floors with different ambiances, from the cozy downstairs bar to the classic main dining room to the winter garden in the back. The food and cocktails are a good compliment to the experience.
The place is adorable! Specially the sun room, such great vibes!! Got the omelette which was really good and my friends got the French toast with maple butter which they loved! I also got to go for the holiday season and the ambiance is so cozy and just perfect! The food was good to, we got the croquettes which were quite good, the beet salad which was smaller than expected but tasty, the octopus dish, and the potato gnocchi which was very good. Overall the food was good but the plates were smaller than expected. It is the ambiance that makes the place just wonderful and makes it a great experience!
I visited Bobo recently with a group of friends for a birthday event. We had a wonderful time. The ambience and decor was very nice, the food really good, and the staff friendly. We ordered multiple dishes on the menu and they all delivered, I specifically recommend getting the grilled octopus which was phenomenal. The steak dishes all delivered too! Also give the beet chips a try. I enjoyed them.
Excellent spot - great food, service, wine. We started with a cheese plate and the gem salad so good, then had the chicken and steak au poivre. The restaurant is very beautiful, located in an old townhouse and Bobo has a solid happy hour everyday at 5 downstairs.
Cute, low key little French place. Dimly lit so perfect for some romance. Enter from below and the host will take you up a flight up stairs to the main dining area. We started with the charcuterie which was as expected. I ordered the roasted chicken which was very tender. My friend ordered the steak which looked very good as well. Portion sizes are a bit generous. Food is reliable and traditional
Bobo is one of my favorite brunch places in the neighborhood and is always worth the trip from where I am from on the UES. The ambiance is beautiful, cozy and clean, the food and drinks are delicious and the service is always fast and the waiters/waitresses are kind and attentive.
