    Spicy Margarita & Espresso Martini
    Sam M.

    Bobo's is an absolute gem in the West Village! It's giving European cocktail bar energy, and that alone keeps me coming back. The drinks are unbelievable and the fries are a nonnegotiable order every single time. The only catch is that they don't open until around 5pm, so plan accordingly but trust me, it's so worth the wait.

    We were able to walk in and sit at the bar on the weekend. The service was fast. The inside is very cute, but the bar seating is not the most comfortable. I got the eggs benedict and my friend got the pancakes. The food was typical brunch food, good but nothing special.

    Tagliatelle Bolognese

    I stopped by bobo in the west village to try their $45 restaurant week menu. The ambiance inside is intimate and dimly lit with small candles on every table which was perfect for a date night. For food, we tried the kale salad, tagliatelle bolognese, Parisian gnocchi, chocolate mousse and the rice pudding. The kale salad was well done as the kale was soft with a slightly sweet dressing and some roasted veggies paired nicely in it. The gnocchi was good but I felt they were a tiny bit overdone as it was dry without a sauce. For desserts, the rice pudding was the better of the two. The praline crunch and fruit added some great flavor and texture. Overall pretty solid spot for restaurant week at $45.

    Bobo Burger

    Came here for brunch and it was pretty good. Tried their coffee and I got the burger. The burger was a bit over done but it was still good! Very cute in there. It transported you into a European setting. It is a French restraunt so that is probably why but the decor was fantastic. I thought about trying the mimosas but opted against it, next time I would definitely try them. Our server was great and constantly checked on us to make sure we didnt need anything. I'd recommend this place if you are in New York and looking for somewhere new to try.

    This is my easiest five star review yet. The ambiance of this place transports you to a French cafe. The food is delicious. The staff is very friendly. Our server Tiffany was a rock star. Very quick and attentive. Gave us great recommendations too. We shared the croque madam and the Bobo Burger. Both were to die for, but the Bobo Burger is a must order!

    I've been looking for some new places to eat in west village, and stumbled upon Bobo. It's in a west village brownstone, and it's got a really cool vibe. You enter from the garden level which has so much energy, and then were taken upstairs past the dining room and back into the outdoor space, which was beautiful. I believe they also have the ability to open up the ceiling on nice days. For appetizers we went with the crispy artichokes and the moules. For the entrees we had the flat iron steak and the tagliatelle, both were amazing! Our server, Jaro, was great, he really made sure that we enjoyed every aspect of our meal. When he checked in on us, it didn't feel like it was just performative, he really did care about making sure the food came out just as we wanted, so big shout out to Jaro! I love coming to restaurants with great service, and it always feels good to support businesses that care about their customers! Will definitely be back.

    Wonderful Restaurant Week deal! Delicious French cuisine with fantastic service! Ambiance & Service: the interior of BOBO is adorable - you feel like you're in a fancy Parisian home! Our server was so friendly -- they overheard us talking about our friend's engagement and brought us some champagne on the house to celebrate! Food: We did the restaurant week which was $45 for three courses - such a steal! All three of us got each of the apps available. My personal favorite was the Melange of Cucumbers -- so light and refreshing! For my entree I got the Capellini Au Citron -- so rich, creamy, and lemony! My desert choose was the Chocolate Mousse, which was perfectly decadent! Highly recommend!

    Not sure why there's so many bad reviews. Had a decent meal here. The restaurant is in a town house and is very charming. We sat upstairs on the upper patio. The restaurant is not ADA accessible - down stairs required for entry and then staircases throughout the house. The bathrooms are tiny but gorgeously decorated! Our server was polite but not overly friendly, which is not a negative exactly. We had a spritz, spring pea appetizers and some pasta dishes. Food came out quick and service was attentive. We also shared a dessert - the chocolate cake. Sound level was average. Overall, a decent spot in the West Village for a low key dinner.

    Crispy Artichokes

    I imagine the atmosphere of Bobo's to be similar to that of a townhouse in a local province in France. There's no rush to kick you out mid conversation. No uppity waitstaff. Natural light streams in through the windows to illuminate the aperol spritz you're sipping on while listening to your friend rant about some irreverent topic. Just a cozy place serving up good food. Definitely get the crispy artichokes and scoop up all that béarnaise sauce. Share a bowl of french onion soup. Maybe skip the brioche (average tasting filler food) and opt for the salmon benedict. There's really no right or wrong way to do Bobo's. If you're at the door, you're already doing something right.

    Attended an event here and had the most wonderful time. Staff were really kind and attentive, the ambiance at the restaurant was unmatched, and all the food was incredible!! Everything from the gnocchi to the fries to the chicken were perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly executed. We somehow ended with an assortment of 4 (!!) desserts, each delightful in their own way, although I surprisngly kept going back for the rice pudding of all items.

    Cute little brunch spot in the west village serving up French brunch on the weekends! I came here with a few girlfriends and they also had a booze drink special to pair with an entree! It's $28 for an hour and it sounded like a good option since cocktails were about $20 each! If you order at least two it makes up for it! The food was pretty good and I enjoyed the croque monseiur! I was a bit nervous it would he super heavy but it paired nicely with the salad! The decor was super cute and I wild definite recommend for a girls brunch

    Crispy Artichokes

    I came here twice this week after initially dining here on a Friday night with a gf . She's Belgian and absolutely adored the venue . We started our evening with the happy hour , lucky our table was so close to the bar ( we dined at the den). Dinner consisted of artichoke and pea salad for appetizers and the burger with fries as main paired with the white wine from the same hh menu . Our server was incredible, always came to check on us with a big smile ! Visit #2 - I love love the bar area and wanted to showcase it to my other friends so I convinced them to come for a glass or two prior to heading your next venue . With our luck , they have the specials on the weekends as well . The place was equally as busy and in fact , I wanted to check out the garden area to take advantage of the nice Sat sunny weather but there was a private party ( next time ).! I recommend dining on the 2nd floor as well if you prefer a more quiet setting .

    Omelette Provencale - butternut squash, baby spinach, gruyere
    Sein S.

    My friends and I went for brunch and we loved the French country decor and charm. I ordered the omelette, which was cooked perfectly. I love squash this time of year. My friends got the oeufs meurette en cocotte and the croque monsieur. They didn't love the wine reduction in the oeufs, but the croque was divine. Overall a cute spot with a lot of charm and reasonably priced brunch options. Would definitely check it out for dinner!

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.
