This is by far the best brunch in town.. Besides the amazing food . The waitresses are funny,beautiful, charismatic,loving, nurturing, and energetic. Honestly , you have to ask yourself what are you doing with your life if your not here for Sunday brunch? read more

I've been working at Bosco for almost 3 years now. I've watched it transform from a night club to a wonderful restaurant. Our brunch is amazing and our dinner is just as good. We have monthly specials for food and are constantly changing our food menu and craft beer. The service is on point. Although we are small, we can accommodate many, especially large parties. We are more than excited to accommodate new guests and reoccurring. Thanks for all the support! read more

Great drinks and desserts! Great staff who are very friendly and helpful, especially to someone like me who isn't a regular drinker. Overall, I do recommend for those who have never been to Bosco's before. read more

This place has done a 360 and I love it! I am more than thrilled that they added food to their delicious menu so now you can have dinner, dessert, and cocktails all at one place. They also have great craft beer and the list is always changing. The staff is cute and chatty and they always have some live music going on which is also entertaining. Not too many places have live music any more. Gotta check this place out! read more

This is one of my favorite spots! The waitresses are amazing even on super crowded nights. The atmosphere is great! They have by far the best patio in the area!! I have been here several times and I believe I have gotten the tomato soup every time... It's that good!! I have been here with a group of friends and boyfriends, and have never had a bad experience. Brunch was good but the French press coffee is over the top amazing! For drinks I pretty much always stick with their sangria or the pomegranate martini. But everything I have ordered here has always been good. Jay does an amazing job with Bosco!! read more

This was the first time I've been to Bosco, and I wasn't impressed. The food and drinks are mediocre but expensive for size and quality. The martinis are 12 dollars but tiny! Tacos are very good but don't plan on being full for less than $20. I do recommend the donuts though. Also, the service was terrible. My beer was empty for over 20 minutes and I felt like I was inconveniencing the server by ordering. Also took forever to get the check. Overall, very poor service. The server had way too many tables and had no help from the manager. read more

I would give this place zero stars. We were there for my sister's birthday celebration. We were a good size group, spending quite a lot of money. We were kicked out of our seats not once, but TWICE. The second time we were "asked" to leave our seats was again because the table was "reserved". (If a table is reserved for a specific time, you should tell people when you seat them, "just so you know, this table is reserved for a party at midnight") We were treated so poorly. The waitress told us that we needed to leave the table because it was reserved. Ok, fine. We all got up and started to gather our things (coats, purses, beverages, etc.) As we were exiting the booth, the bouncer came and started to yell at us, telling us to leave. We expressed that we were leaving, it wasn't an issue and to give us a moment to gather our belongings. Then, the waitress came and put her hands on me and started to push me out of the booth. I told her not to touch me. The bouncer continued to yell at us and then proceeded to grab my husband and force him out of the bar. We did nothing wrong and we were treated like garbage. After my husband was kicked out and that table was seated, my husband was told by the same bouncer that he could come back in.... My husband refused... because, honestly, who in their right mind would want to go back into that environment?! Our entire party left and no one will be returning to this bar ever again. I am disgusted that the staff put their hands on me (and my husband)! I felt so violated and disrespected. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Stay far away from this place. read more

Had dinner with my friends at a different restaurant and then Went in 20 minutes ago with 7 people into bosco .. we had one shot.. we asked for another shot and the bartender poured us the shot then she dumped it out saying we were assholes to her. . When we asked to talk to the manager he was a complete douche and asked us to leave and never come back .. we are all employed at well known firms and responsible .. we would never disrespect an employee.. my friend was asking how to pour 4 liters of water into a mug using a 3 liter mug and a 5 liter mug .. she thought we were patranizing her and she was offended .. never going back and we were planning on spending much money there... Don't ever go there unless you're expected to be treated with disrespect because one of the employees told her boss she thought people are "not being nice to her" solely within her imagination read more

Bosco was fun, but nothing memorable. Typical uppity bar, with exactly the type of people you'd think inside. We went for a girlfriends birthday. It was over crowded which took away from the experience. It also took me a while to get a drink. The bar itself is nice, everyone seemed friendly and the music wasn't bad. But to me it was just another bar, nothing i "have" to experience again. read more

Very cool place. Their portions are plentiful. Happy hour on Tuesdays, half off appetizers. I highly recommend the fries, though shoestring fries they're delicious. I wish they had more of a diverse selection of healthy foods on their menu but I believe they just started serving food from what I gathered. Their pressed mint tea was exceptional. Pricey but worth it. Lol Their skillet chocolate chip cookie was also good. The bartender was very attentive and friendly also. read more

Stopped in recently and noticed that the menu has been rebooted. Not as much to pick from but workable. Still empty as heck. It seems like if you have working toilets and a liquor license, you can expect infinite business in ferndale. Great selection of microbrews, ok food, smiling servers and plenty of nice seating both indoors and out..... Empty. Is it a case of one liquor license too many? Did the owner run afoul of a skull and bones type Ferndale society? Is it that thing where a witch wipes the back of her hand on the door and says 'emmmmmpty'? Is soylent green people?? I am the only person to have two nice experiences here in a row??! There's at least a dozen businesses in Ferndale that have built empires based on horrible condecending service, bad food, and tardy drinks. I'm wondering if the name Bosco has too much baggage. I just hope they can mysteriously stay open like French Gourmet so I can stop in now and then for a quiet drink. It's nice to go somewhere after nine pm and not have to swim over a sea of glowering goslingitos with jungvolk hairdos. (see also, M-Brew) read more

Overpriced let down with unfriendly service. They were out of everything, the server was rude and the food came out at different times (if at all). There are too many other good restaurants around to come back here again. read more

Not half bad. The lounge has a nice feng shui about it. The drinks were perfectly made and although, the music was loud, I didn't mind it. Granted, I went on a Thursday night and was one of two groups there. They have plenty of seating with two nice long, comfy couches. In the summer they have a patio that looked like it could be fun. I have no idea what the scene is since I was practically the only person in the place. read more

Went to the Bosco on a friday night and enjoyed it. Love the 'Good Drink' Martini. Lemony and not sweet but just right. They use a high grade vodka for everything, at least Svedka. Ambience is lovely, hip, and unique. Just what I think the owners were looking for. Bathrooms for women were nicely decorated and clean. Interior by the window in front of bar echoes so watch your convo. Leather chairs for 2-3 people are situated throughout lounge. You can relax here, never too crowded. read more

They have great drinks, always a party on weekend nights. The best is in the summer when the back porch is open. They have great appetizers and flat bread. I wouldn't recommend many of the other food items. The drink list is also a huge plus! read more

I went to the Bosco on a night out with my girlfriends. There were about 16 of us and our second stop was this establishment. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the it was very nice for a low key night out. I would have preferred to go with maybe a smaller group as when we arrived no one was dancing. They had a DJ playing some great music but mostly everyone was sitting around talking. I would definitely go again but, as I said, with less people who aren't looking to dance. read more

Great food, great drinks, great vibe, great atmosphere. The food was very good everything made from scratch. They have a great drink menu here with a lot of original very tasty drinks. The vibe is very chill and fun. A great place for a night out. read more

Dead at 6:45 on a Tuesday of Restaurant Week. Pleasant service. Delicious cocktails.

Great place, great food and great drinks. Bosco is the one place that is always fun pretty much any night of the week. The staff including the bouncers are always very nice and friendly. I am a forever fan of the Bosco!! read more

Overall the food was delicious, but I mean the serving/portion sizes were really small for the price. Potatoes were a little salty too. I ordered the scramblette and they totally botched my order which I thought was kind of funny how wrong it was. I asked for an omelette and it came scrambled and I asked for extra mix in sides and they were missing, but I was still charged for it so I brought it up. Whatever people make mistakes, I thought it was a little funny for the time read more

I came to The Bosco last Saturday for my first time around 8pm and had a few appetizers . The crab cakes and smoked salmon crostinis were amazing ! I also had a snickers martini and deep fried Oreos for desert . The atmosphere was very romantic while there was live music and very nice and helpful staff. I was impressed how at home they made me feel . Around 10:30 the vibe of the Bosco changed while a dj arrived and the lights turned down and changed colors , it was very entertaining watching the young crown stroll in ready to party . Some of my friends showed up and we ended up staying the whole night ! I definitely will be back for my birthday party in a few weeks :) read more

I came to The Bosco a few weeks ago for brunch and sat outside on the patio. I had a wonderful experience so decided to come again today. What a difference!! It was raining so we sat inside. It was like trying to enjoy a nice relaxing brunch inside of a loud, obnoxious club. The music was loud,bad, and didn't help me enjoy myself. We ate our food as quickly as we could so we could escape. I don't think I will be returning to the Bosco anytime soon. read more

I've been looking for a fun and cool bar atmosphere in Detroit that didn't make a 44 year old woman feel out of place. Saturday nights at Bosco hits the spot! Great drinks at affordable prices. I have the Lemon Drop Martini which was light and refreshing. The deck out back is beautiful space and we loved the decor which only added to the cool vibe. The wait staff was attentive, prompt and friendly. This is my new favorite hang out! read more

I would give 5 stars, but after 10pm it turned into a bit of a techno dance club. Before 10, it was a 5 star. Wait staff was very attentive and the spinach artichoke dip was by far the best I've ever had. The ambiance was very desirable and the place had an earthy feel. I'll go again, but before 10pm!!! read more

Definetly one of my new favorite brunch places. Their spiked coffee drinks are delicious and they have an option to do bottomless mimosas AND live music on the weekend. The only reason I did not give boscos 5 stars is because you can only sit comfortably at the bar if you're 6 ft tall.. (The chairs are at a weird height) other than that I definitely recommend boscos! read more

Saw a drink girl doing COCAINE? Used to go here all the time, but this place has really turned to trash. I went to a party there last night and the people that work there now are so trashy. I saw the security guard get aggressive with several people. I was there with about 6 of my friends and we were all ordering drinks spending quite a bit of money at the bar and the drink girls were very slow and nowhere to be found for long periods of time at some points. Also, accidentally walked in the bathroom on one of the drink girls and saw her with a white powdery substance she was kinda stuffing up in her nose. 99% sure it was cocaine. She was short with long dark hair and very skinny, she looked like she was mixed with maybe black and white/filipino or maybe latina, had on black skirt or shorts. I tried to get her name from another drink girl but she kept saying she couldn't hear me then just walked away. Don't know if they're under new management, but I won't be going back. read more

The most boring bar in Ferndale. It's a good place to hang out on the back patio and smoke cigarettes. Or grab a first drink of the night before heading out to better places. But this is no place to hang out for any length of time. The bartenders are friendly enough. read more

The Bosco has received a fresh new design and menu, including amazing seafood and French press coffee drinks at the bar! This has become the perfect place to meet up and share plates with friends in Ferndale and in Metro Detroit. More bars and restaurants in Detroit should strive to be like the Bosco. read more

The small plate options were tasty and the staff was very happy and attentive, great way to spend a Friday night

The Bosco seems to be changing on a weekly basis. Every time I go there something new is done to the place. The patio has been totally renovated, they have good now, and best of all is brunch. I highly recommend the tacos and sliders . A must is a side of fries of course . The weekends you can enjoy live music from 7-10 followed by a DJ . read more

Came here one night to dance. It's really fun! The indoors gets rowdy- in a good way- and lots of people were dancing. Outdoors is more laid back and less loud so a great place to chat and catch up. Loved the ambiance and the set up. Will definitely be going back. Have never been there for dinner, but the drinks are cheap! read more

They serve deep fried Oreo's with icecream.. Need I say more lol. Honestly I have only been here a few times and until I tried the Oreo's I didn't think I would like this place. But now I am hooked! You must stop in and try them if you have a sweet tooth! read more

I had herd a lot about this restaurant, so I took my family here when they were in town visiting. We decided to go for brunch, and what a wonderful experience! Our servers name was Taylor, she was very kind and attentive and left a great impression on my family. This restaurant really shows out of towners what this city is all about. I highly recommend brunch at Bosco! read more

Brunch is my favorite weekend hobby. This place is severely underwhelming. I've tried it twice now, between four different dishes & three different sides (eating with someone obviously), & the consensus is - not worth coming back to. Will definitely just wait for Toast in the future. read more

Cool interior decor/vibe. We were here for brunch and the French Toast is amazzzing. So was basically everything we ordered! I am SO happy with my meal. The servers were prompt and gracious. The only thing is that their black tea apparently has an unappealing burnt smell and taste (my friend told me to mention this). read more

Went there for trivia on a Wednesday night. Great and interesting drink menu. Pretty good beer menu and reasonably priced. Had dinner but they were out of the Mac and cheese, which is what I wanted. Settled for the Cubano sandwich, which was good but not worth $14. There was also only one waiter for the entire place on a fairly busy night, so service was a bit slow for everyone. They are a little pricy if you're ordering food and the selection is limited but overall great atmosphere and fun place to play trivia. read more

Came here this past Saturday night and couldn't be more pleased with the service! Food was absolutely delicious and the service was so friendly and prompt. The older couple at the table near us seemed a little irritated with the volume of the music and the amount of YOUNG PEOPLE HAVING FUN! So my advice to anyone who wants to ruin this restaurant's reviews with their petty comments about the night life and awesome music, leave the nagging at the door. I have no complaints about this place at all- will be returning! read more

Terrible service. We got there right when it opened, bathroom was dirty, booth had a puddle of water on it. We had a new waitress who wasn't trained on anything and wasn't shadowing anyone. No attention to detail and $18 for a French press served in a a dirty looking carafe w/single serve creamers scattered at the table. For the price I expect condiments that stand out, polished silverware, fresh cold creamer. Clearly the restaurant wants to go for an upscale vibe with upscale prices, but doesn't want to do the work or staff appropriately. Is anybody even managing this place? read more

This is such a great spot, very relaxed service was exceptional! We tried a few of the appetizers and they were all phenomenal! Extremely chill spot for a dinner date, or to go out out and have some beers with buddies! I recommend everyone go here!!!! read more

I signed up for yelp specifically to review this establishment. My friends and I arrived at around 9:30 for a late dinner. We were initially impressed with the decor and live music. I asked a waiter if we could sit anywhere we like and was told we could. We sat down, then was told by another waiter we needed to be reseated because the table we sat at was intended for a different group. We were reassured we would be seated promptly at a different table. We waited for about 10 minutes and were seated at a new table. Upon sitting, we were rudely told by the waitress we would need to be finished eating by 1130 because a group was coming for bottle service (as a side note-bottle service? We're in the suburbs of Detroit, not Vegas). We said we would eat quickly and leave. We ordered our food and before the food came out we received our check and was told we needed to be out ASAP and could be reseated to yet another location. Placing a check on the table before the food is completely unacceptable and rude. The food was mediocre at best. We will not be returning here. read more
