Truly one of the most charming brunch spots in the west village. Great bottomless brunch cocktails. And the food is to die for. Please make sure to say hi to David, he's such a sweetie pie. Everything we has was super yummy and fresh. The staff was warm and friendly. Im going back for sure.. read more

BOBO - Out side signage. - French Near Me - New York, New York

I visited this place w/ NYC Yelp's Ryan Robbins and her husband Greg last night and was very pleased with the experience. The atmosphere was lovely (it would be the perfect place to take a date b/c it was intimate and cozy), the staff was first rate, and the food was good. I saw some post on Yelp that this place was pretentious, but I disagree. The staff did seem a bit too formal, but I think they were just trying to provide a special experience. APPETIZER We shared an appetizer of Poutine. If you haven't had this before, it's a Canadian dish that's basically just french fries covered with brown gravy and cheese curds. The version at Bobo was adequate, but it wasn't the best I've had. The fries were larger than I've had before (think potato wedges), but they were battered and fried, which was odd to me. In other words, I could have done without the batter. On a positive note, the brown gravy and cheese curds that accompanied the dish were yummy, and the portion size was just right for our group of four. MAIN COURSE Everyone at the table ordered the Bobo burger, which was amazing! The ground beef was cooked to perfection (I ordered mine medium rare), and the burger just melted in my mouth. On the menu, the burgers were paired with french fries, but since we already had the Poutine, we asked to substitute Brussels sprouts for the fries, which they gladly did at no extra change. The Brussels sprouts, which were cooked with ham, were delicious! I'm definitely glad we made that change! DRINKS I ordered a jalapeño-infused margarita ($13). It was just okay, and it wasn't very strong. Greg ordered a draft beer, which is what I wish I had ordred. Would I return to Bobo? Sure!! Overall, I liked it, and it would be great to try more of their dishes (seeing that everyone got the burger this time around). read more

Came here on a Friday night (8/12/22) for a date night - a perfect ambiance and romantic vibe! The whole place was so charming and warm and service was great. We sat upstairs in the garden rooftop which was 5/5 for ambiance. Ordered Gertrude and Alice cocktail and Among the clouds cocktail ... super good. Food was solid, we ordered the grilled octopus, burger a l'americaine and crispy skin salmon. Our meal was cooked and presented well. Would recommend the burger (on pretzel bun), as it was the best thing we ordered. Overall, we were happy with the food, but not blown away. Ambiance 5/5 Food 4/5 Cocktails 5/5 Service 5/5 Good for date night, happy hour, small group read more

They made my Mother's Day succeed. 1- Beautiful and Clean interior dining room. Besides, noise level is very important for me, especially with my mom. All customer were very talking elegant and quietly. My mom really enjoyed listening Classic Jazz BGM... That was match with the Interior as well. 2- Maitre'd/Waiter were very friendly, very polite . As you know elder person ( especially My mom ) is kinda strict this issue... But she was very satisfy with their service... 3- Food was enough potion, Mother's Day per fix menus was nice and faire value. read more

My friends had their engagement party here. He booked the garden area upstairs and it was super adorable. The decor is very beautiful, there are brick walls, twinkle lights, and an open window ceiling in the garden area. The food was good too. We had a pre-fixed menu. I ordered the Frank fish and the sauce that it came with was a bit too salty for my taste. Otherwise everything was great. The service was also amazing. They were very accommodating with everything. read more

I looked around for the best place to celebrate a special birthday with my family and was not disappointed!! The dining room at Bobo's is airy, fresh and felt like we were dining in the French countryside. Our meals were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our server, Natalie, was gracious, knowledgeable, engaging and paced our meal perfectly. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing restaurant. We made a reservation for an anniversary and they brought us complementary Prosecco. Not only was the ambience and service amazing, but so was the food. What a perfect date night! read more

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). read more

Darling spot! Like going to your French grandmas home, if we actually have that or like to imagine we have one (me)! Inside is nicely designed, simple, comfortable, spacious. Perfect date or family spot. Very friendly staff, paid close attention to us, never had an empty water glass. Got the pastry basket, wow! Must get! The jam and butter alone are worth the $10. Then the pastries are just bonus. My entree was a fancy French dish I couldn't possibly say (I blame my high school). The meurette en cocotte. A smaller dish compared to the burger that my partner got. I'd likely not order it again. Flavor profile was limited, a bit too greasy and salted. Also got the duck fat potatoes. More like potato chips. They were okay. Again limited in flavor. One other small issue was a bathroom was very close to were I was eating and let's just say, the circulation wasn't the best. Otherwise, really great place to have a quaint French brunch. read more

Cozy spot for brunch on the second floor and a bar downstairs which I'll be back for sometime. Pro tip - patio looks idyllic so request if it's nice out. read more

Bobo = very French. Cute country French aesthetic with white washed brick walls, bistro tables, and general decor. Food is very good, leans toward French style, and has rather small portions - especially for the price. I ended up at Bobo for a late lunch with two others on a Saturday. We caught the tail end of their brunch service at 3pm. Cocktails were lovely with typical brunch classics (mimosa, Bloody Mary) as well as some other additions like aperol spritz - all for about $12. Coffee was good and strong with free refills. Two of us had the beet salad. I was impressed at how many beets there actually were topped with a handful of micro greens; however, this was not a salad that would have been enough for me as a meal. We did order the chick pea fritters "panisse" which were a hearty side and helped fill me with the salad. The rabbit terrine came as a block served with sliced baguette and homemade pickled veggies. Very good, but make sure you know what it is before ordering... not everyone's cup of tea. Service was attentive and friendly, everything tasted good, and decor was comfortable. I do agree prices were a bit high for the portion sizes (even for NYC), but I suppose that's French cooking. read more

Came here for Happy Hour- excellent I mean fantastic service. The staff here attentive- refills water- checks in, the food here UNBELIEVABLY GREAT. I can not wait to come back with friends. Thank you for your amazing service and everything you do read more

The management of this restaurant has been amazing. When inquiring about the impediment I had making a reservation, the team was able to resolve my issue in less than 24 hours via email. I chose this place based on a recommendation from a friend and it was amazing. This is a review based on their Sunday brunch menu. My party of three was seated really quickly and had a choice of upstairs or downstairs dining. We chose upstairs as there as more lighting vs downstairs. The feeling of this place is cozy and intimate which is perfect for small parties or a nice date. The restaurant does accommodate private events as well but I believe you would need to call. We were immediately greeted by Ashley who would be our server and she is phenomenal. She was knowledgeable and answered questions we had about the menu. We had Croque Monsieur, Ceufs Muerette En Cocotte, Burger, Pastry Basket, and a few drinks. The food was delicious and would recommend folks to try their brunch. Really top notch service and would try the other restaurants that is owned by the Owner because of the service. read more

Happy hour every day from 5-7 with $1 oysters and $10 spicy margs in the heart of the west village, count me in! FYI - you can only get this deal seated in the den. I stopped by on a Saturday night with one of my girlfriends around 5pm and it was just starting to get busy. We sat by the stairs and chatted away through the night! We ordered grilled octopus, bread & goat cheese, hanger steak, mussels, and chocolate mousse. The steak was over done (this is where they lost a star) but everything else was pretty delish! The bartenders also know how to make a mean espresso martini... consider this your warning! I'll definitely be back and next time for brunch :) read more

My partner and I were meeting friends for dinner in the West Village of NYC. It was raining and we just wanted to get out of the rain. So when we found our friends, we were walking and we saw the sign for Bobo's and we just like, "Ah screw it, let's get a drink there for now and figure out what we want to get for dinner.". We sat at the bar first and got drinks. The bartender was very nice, making conversation with us. We ordered the beet chips. They were perfectly salted and crispy. It was happy hour so it was cheaper. After about an hour and a half, we decided to stay for dinner and moved to a table. We got about 5 dishes and shared them family style, including the gnocchi, chicken, octopus, and lamb shoulder. My partner got a salad. Everything was delicious. We were really happy with what we got. We also got dessert at the end. I had ice cream. My friend got the special pumpkin tart. My other friend got the chocolate mousse. It was a great ending to a great dessert. Even my partner noted after wards that the food was really good, and he's usually critical of most restaurants. The ambience is very casual with dim lighting. You can hold a conversation with your dinner buddies. The place is kinda small so it fills up fast. I think we would return for sure next time we're back east. read more

Extremely beautiful space but pretty average brunch. My eggs came out cold, but the flavor was good.

Went in for brunch on Saturday at 1:30PM. They didn't have any seating but had room at the bar. I sat there with my SO for what was around 20 minutes without anyone coming to tend to us. The bartender never even got us waters or a menu. Terrible prioritization on his part helping others around us that were less priority. The bartender was a a bald white guy seemingly in his 30s. Hope management gets him back into training. read more

This French joint in the middle of the village is ok for drinks and nibbles but that's about all. Had a reservation and entered the charming basement bar that is bobo. They also have a upstairs dinning area. At the table service was a bit slow. Slow to get water and take order. Beet chips were fine. Octopus appetizer was way too salty but well cooked. The salmon was over cooked and lacking flavor but the saffron broth was nice although a bit too acidic. They need to step up their game. But the cocktails are nice and it is a lovely atmosphere. read more

So much fun at BOBO West Village. Everything on the menu is delish, same goes for drinks. Candlelight cozy European vibes that'll cause you to order another round and order their awesome Beet Chips (might sound silly to mention but they're sooo good & unique)!! read more

I believe we are in the era of mediocrity. Wonderful physical space but poor quality of food. Good service. But the most important part-the food-nope. read more

Great oysters! Need to go during happy hour to get the $1 per oyster special until 7pm. The octopus, artichokes and gnocchi were quite good. Hanger steak, salmon and mussels were ok but are not memorable. My group loved the burger which can be found on the bar menu. And the fries were amazing. We did get the chocolate mousse and lemon tart and we could have skipped them. We had Sara as our server and she was fantastic and made our dinner great. read more

I never leave reviews but we had such a great time at Bobo when we stopped in for dinner on a Thursday night a few weeks ago that I couldn't resist posting here. Food was excellent, staff was amazing, ambience incredible. We had an issue with the bottle of wine we ordered (we had a bit of a wine snob at our table whose name shall not be mentioned) and the waiter insisted we switch it out, even after drinking half the bottle. We said it was okay. A minute later the manager came by and insisted again, and we took him up on the offer. Honestly if you're ever in the west village and want excellent French food with an even better staff, go to Bobo. You will not regret it. read more

Came for dinner a few days ago with 6 other people and OH MY GOD everything was amazing from appetizers to dessert. I think we got about just each app & dessert but everything was flavored with perfection. The octopus had to be the best I've had - not tough and chewy like most other places make it. Soft and chewable. I had the chicken entree which was on a bed of mashed potatoes. so savory with Brussels sprouts *im drooling thinking about it*. Desserts were also just truly amazing. The restaurant is French cuisine with a twist of American/Italian flare. I honestly have to stop talking about the food because my mouth is watering. Big ups to one of the main chefs, Erik. He personally came out a few times to check on our table to make sure everyone was happy with their meal. No one left unhappy with the food. The waiters were pleasant and helpful. I'm definitely going to be coming back on a date with the boyfriend! read more

I came here for brunch on a Saturday with some friends. Food was good, service was ok. It took over an hour for our entrees to come out so staff brought us an appetizer on the house (get the truffle croquettes - so good). We opted in for the 1hr bottomless drinks option. Since the service was so slow and we weren't checked on often for refills, we ended up sitting there with empty glasses for the bulk of the hour. Waiter wasn't accommodating to extend a little past the hour due to the poor service either. read more

Like at most other super cute, instagramable, french, and pricey restaurants in West Village, I had a great dining experience. When I got the bill, I was certainly taken back by the total, but in the end, I left thinking I'd come back, so I guess I rounded up my 3.5 stars to 4. Aesthetics, ambiance, plates, utensils, glasses, menu - were all on point. Food was honestly delicious too, but each item was about $2-3 more expensive than what they really should have been. I guess I should've expected the total to come out as such, since this is in West Village...but if you don't appreciate the holistic dining experience, I'm not sure you will feel entirely justified. Regardless, everything we ordered was fabulous, and here's what we ordered: Appetizers - Beet chips, heirloom tomato salad, croquettes Main - Seared hanger steak, homemade potato gnocchi Side - Fries (of course) I would recommend all! read more

BOBO IS BACK BABY! This west village staple has reopened better than ever. I went yesterday with a friend for dinner and ordered the watermelon salad, chicken entree and lemon tart. All delicious, savory and well timed. Cocktails were great as well; Enjoyed the Margarita and an Aperol Spritz. Staff was a pleasure. David the manager is a fantastic host. 10/10 recommend BOBO read more

This restaurant will always be one of my favorites. The food, vibe & service are perfection. Exactly what you're looking for in NYC!

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. The waiter acted like he didn't want us there. I asked the manager a question and she got all up in my face and started yelling. I would have left however I was with friends. Food was terrible ! I could have made better at home. Avoid this pretentious overpriced restaurant at all costs. read more

Finally got to try Bobo for brunch. I pass by this restaurant all the time and see the big sign but never went until today. I'm so glad we finally tried it. Breaking down the review as follows: Reservations: They allow reservations through OpenTable and we got there super early so we waited at the bar. The manager was so nice and accommodating and offered to seat us at our table even though our party wasn't complete. This is a + since most NYC restaurants will not seat you unless your party is complete. Ambiance: You can tell from all the pictures I posted on this review that I loved the decor and ambiance. It's so stinkin' cute!! So much French flair and country chic. Great lighting too on the patio! Service: Our server was very good and attentive. He's on point from giving us good suggestions to refilling our water and drinks. Food: I had the lamb shoulders and polenta and it was so delicious!! I could eat that every day! Also tried my friend's Croque Madame and it was heavenly! From the presentation to the actual taste, the food was on point! Bobo is a great place for brunch. I'll have to try it for dinner one of these days. read more

Can we talk about the fact that this was the BEST CHICKEN of my entire 31 years of LIFE!? That is not hyperbole. It really was. Juicy, fresh, crispy skin. Absolute perfection. I aspire to cook chicken half this good. Wow. read more

Cute cute cute spot with amazing service & incredible food!

I was pretty excited to dine here after having walked past this restaurant many times in the West Village. The location is nestled in a prime area of town but it's easy to miss the entrance if you walk too fast. My friends and I came here for dinner on a Friday evening and were seated upstairs in a beautiful room decorated like a medieval library, complete with fireplace, heavy framed oil portraits, and white tablecloths with the dimly lit candles. Excuse the poor quality of the photos below. If I was giving ratings based on the food itself it would probably be three stars out of five. None of the flavors were stand out or memorable, and none of the presentation was that special. However, coupled with the attentiveness of our waiter and the interior aesthetics, Bobo earns an overall four stars. read more

Wonderful experience! We went for "boozy brunch" which has a 60" time frame- waiter totally didn't rush us and even extended the time a bit. Food was yummy; atmosphere was great and service was superb! Highly recommended! read more

Overrated everything is how I describe BOBO at points...This is place use to be cute.. I mean what happened?? Food: we ordered crab cake/crispy broccoli/ hanger steak..Everything just taste so bland. Crab cake is heavy on salt, and steak tasted just like .... well literally tasted like NOTHING. If your food want to be mediocre, fine, but don't overprice your food try to be cute and fancy, cause you are not at this point. Environment: very crowded with extra chairs added plus Ariana Grande playing in the background..... two girls seat next to us talking about their new life plan in NYC lol. Service: Passive - Aggressive Ok Bobo. you can do better read more

This deserves five stars for the decent food, in a one of kind, West Village townhouse setting at a great price point. I highly recommend this for different occasions, whether for work, for socializing or for special occasions. The service is personable and kind. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE ON WEEKENDS! I'm associating the lackluster service and food (not personal experience, I'll get there) to the fact that they were busy. Came in with my boyfriend for dinner, were seated right away by a friendly guy. Waitress came by to take our order, she was nice. We ordered crab cakes & broccoli for my boyfriends meal to come out with my steak. His food came out and he proceeded to eat it and finish his meal. 20 minutes later my food still didn't come. The waitress did cancel at the end my steak due to my request. We got the check and left. $60 later I have yet to eat and my boyfriend had good broccoli and over Salted crab cake. We did have two glasses of wine, happy hour wine selection is nice. read more
