“Beautiful ambiente, you feel like you're at your french Grandma's living room (in the best way possible haha). Their truffle croquettes are OUTSTANDING and the salmon filet with fries was also super good. Have to come back for brunch once!”

“This French restaurant is a great choice for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. The truffle croquettes were my favorite dish, and I highly recommend trying them. The beet chips and kale salad were surprisingly tasty as well. However, the restaurant can get quite busy, which can be a bit of a downside. We had an 8:45 pm reservation, but it ended up being 9:15 pm because of the slow service. The manager was kind enough to send us complimentary food, which saved the night. I didn’t enjoy their red wine selection as much, but overall, it was a good experience.”

“The food was great, but the ambiance and overall saltiness are the reasons this place isn't getting five stars from me. We ordered the sea scallop risotto, coq au vin blanc, and flat iron steak, all flavorful and well-prepared. Even though we had a reservation, the wait was quite long. To their credit, the restaurant offered a complimentary appetizer, the crispy artichokes, which turned out to be a highlight. It was my first time trying artichokes, and they were delicious! The sauce it came with made them even better. One complaint was that our table was right next to the stairs and really close to the walkway, so I kept getting bumped by the servers and people passing by. It also felt way too crowded around the bar, which made the space a little uncomfortable. It was extremely dark and was lit by a tea candle. The coq au vin blanc was pretty salty, and so was the sea scallop risotto. Also one of the scallops was just the top of one which was disappointing. The service was pretty good considering that they did give us a complimentary appetizer. Better lighting, a tad bit less salt would have made this place so much better.”

“Bobo is an excellent place for happy hour. Cheap oysters, good cocktails and a lot of variety on the shareable plates. We were pleasantly surprised by the desserts of all things, the profiterole is to die for! On top of that the ambiance of the restaurant is top notch, it is exactly what you would expect of a place you need to go down to a basement in west village, dimly lit, nice soft music, excellent decor and buzzing conversations everywhere. Special shoutout to all of our waiters, they were really attentive and kept both the food and the drinks flowing at a nice pace. -@EduFoodNotes on instagram”

“The restaurant has a great vibe - super french, from the building itself to the menu design. I’m not a big fan of French food but i can imagine people would like this place. Happy Hour 5pm-7pm, good deal with drinks and oysters. My only suggestion is checking the menu before you book the place, just to make sure that you can get what you want.”
