My wife and I decided to hit that part of Sunset Blvd in search for a nice spot for an easy diner. The first place with spotted was Bossa Nova. They didn't have a table for us so we sat at the bar. First ordered drinks (classic Carpirinha) and then our food. Not long after, we got a table. Overall, good service, good atmosphere and decent food which I would not necessarily label as typical Brazilian! Yet, it was a good surprise to see they had many drinks and food options at reasonable pricing!! We'll definitely go back...soon!! read more

Noeli is amazing! Amazing food, amazing service, and amazing ambiance. 10/10 experience. Bossa Nova is always good and consistent at every location. read more

Our Server Noeli was absolutely amazing! Food came out very fast and was perfectly hot. The atmosphere was also about perfect aswell.

Went back again for the Classic Brunch! Soooooo good! One order is more then enough for two. Waffles , eggs, sausage, bacon, a side I get ratatouille since it is so delicious and choice of bread. Always fun and the service is great with super friendly staff! Feels like HOME!!! Oh also a lovely shaded patio that is dog friendly read more

I read your response to my Yelp Review and while I like that you advocate for your employees, you clearly do not want to take accountability for your staff's inactions. Needless to say, we will not come back to your restaurant moreso because of your attitude. 1) The hostess did not look up my reservation. There were 2 reserved tables in the front of the restaurant and 1 of them was a booth. She clearly did not do her job when I told her I made reservations yet, you do not apologize for that. 2) Your staff only asked us once how things were. They never came back to give us water or a check until I flagged down a server. 3) Your cook failed to make my to go steak the correct temperature but you fail to acknowledge/apologize for this. 4) I think I already mentioned that my husband did not bother to let the server know about his burnt vegetables so yes, I acknowledge that we should have brought it to their attention. However, the vegetables should not have been burnt to begin with. Please do not patronize your customers without knowing the entire story. read more

I just wanted to take a moment to share how grateful I am for our experience at Bossa Nova this past Friday! This location has been my absolute favorite for the past couple of years, and I always make it a point to bring friends who've never been so they can experience the amazing ambiance, hospitality, and of course, the delicious food. This time was extra special because we were celebrating one of my girlfriend's birthdays, and as always, Bossa Nova did NOT disappoint! A huge shoutout to Noeli, who truly made our night unforgettable. He was the absolute sweetest, so attentive, kind, and on top of everything the entire evening. He made sure we were all taken care of and even recommended some incredibly yummy drinks (which were very hard to resist by the way ). He played such a big role in making my friend's first experience so memorable, we're already planning our next visit! It's because of servers like Noeli that places like this continue to thrive. His attentiveness, friendliness, and genuine hospitality are exactly what keep us coming back. Thank you for such a wonderful night filled with laughter, amazing food, and delicious drinks! read more

I really liked my experience here - it's in a great spot on Sunset Blvd., they had very good food and a fun ambiance. I hadn't been to Bossa Nova in many years and, upon arrival, it felt like coming home. We were warmly greeted immediately seated in a lively, yet easygoing environment. I ordered their Traditional Chicken from their "grill" selection of food and it was great - tender, flavorful, and juicy chicken. I appreciate that they give you flexibility by having the customer choose the side dishes, which are included with the plate - the grilled vegetables, fried plantains, and power grains were perfect! Everything really tasted of good quality. My first experience at a Bossa Nova was in 1998 and it's great that the food is still good after all these years. read more

Genuinely I used to love this place, but there was a 2in needle found in my food after they catered to our office. I nearly swallowed it, but i ripped it out of my throat mid conversation with my coworker. My general manager contacted the establishment and they first accepted blame but then doubled back to say they we had no proof. The proof was this meat needle that was in my throat! It was such a horrible and confusing experience and I wanted to let people know this could happen to them. Careful with the Salmon bowls. Edit: My evidence was the scratch down my throat and an ER visit. I think a $700 refund was absolutely fair, especially when your manager said it was their fault. That's an insane take and I hope you all know that. read more

Ever since Bossa Nova opened up for breakfast/brunch, my cousin and i love it even more, especially the one at Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood. The ambience is peaceful with classic decor, and a great menu that offers an array of exciting dishes. But most of all, the entire staff is always warm, attentive and professional. These are the many reasons why i keep going back. M. Morales West Hollywood read more

My family and I love coming to Bossa Nova. We drive almost weekly from Granada Hills to the West Hollywood location, specifically for the amazing service and food. We are usually seated with Freddy or Noeli. Both servers are so fantastic. They are very attentive, very informative and always happy to see us as we are happy to see them. We will continue to come here regularly. read more

Consistent with others! The difference is the view of La from the parking lot in the back which is amazing! Food is consistent and service too! Great for late night vibes. Coaxchina is always a vibe as is the chicken kabob meal and that yucca flour is the best! Love it! Parking is easy as there's a huge lot in the back. read more

(8.7/10) Bossa Nova has officially earned a spot on my regular rotation, especially for their lunch specials. The chicken stroganoff was the highlight for me creamy, savory, and such a unique flavor profile compared to what I'm used to. The way it paired with the rice made it feel like the two were meant for each other Honestly, it's one of those dishes that makes you stop mid-bite and go, "Wow, this works." I also tried the chicken Madeira, which came with perfectly cooked asparagus The chicken itself was tasty with rich gravy, but since chicken Madeira is one of my favorite dishes, I hold it to very high standards. I personally prefer Cheesecake Factory's version . Next time, I'll probably skip the Madeira dish & try their famous traditional chicken and maybe even some Brazilian chimichurri for that extra punch. generous portions, solid quality, and a price that makes it easy to keep coming back For West Hollywood, that's a win. It's rare to get this kind of value without sacrificing taste. Good parking too! Would I come back? Absolutely gave me a whole new appreciation for Brazilian comfort food read more

I was in town for my friend's birthday and decided to stop by for dinner. My friends both ordered pasta dishes that they both enjoyed. I got the BBQ Bacon burger with a side of fried plantains. The burger was flavorful, bacon was crisp, the fried plantains were soooo perfectly cooked and delicious. I really enjoyed the whole meal. The drinks were good as well. The only downside is that we initially were seated inside because it was chilly outside, but our table was close to the door and people kept leaving the door open so it was freezing. Eventually we asked if we could be moved to an outdoor table next to a heat lamp and that was okay. read more

It was my first time coming here and I had such a good experience. My steak came out hard but when I told my serve Freddie he was so kind and took it back and brought me a whole new plate sides and all. He was so kind didn't make me feel bad about sending my food back at all. He was graceful about it. I was just expecting the steak to come back remade but he really went above and beyond and it truly made my first experience here so good. Also look at these portions!! So good! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my waiter Noeli last night. My daughter and I thought he was very kind! He greeted us with a smile and made sure we were happy with our food! He went the extra mile when he took photo of us after we asked him to do so! The host greeted us with a smile and sat us outside in a place that we requested! The bartender remembered the Pinot Grigio that I liked considering that I was just there two nights before! The customer service here is superb! my favorite is the Manuela pasta with Cajun salmon. It always come out fresh and hot. read more

My visit here was unsatisfactory. When we arrived, we were seated at the only table big enough to fit 12 people, and the place was surprisingly busy even at 11:00 PM. The seat I got had water dripping from the ceiling, and by the end of the night my shoulder was only a little dry. I ordered the Traditional Chicken, and the serving size was extremely small. It came with a bowl of beans, rice, and diced tomatoes. The chicken itself wasn't anything special -- it was sour and salty, although at least it was juicy. I also tried a cool Brazilian soda called Guaraná, which was very interesting! Service, however, was very good. Overall, a decent place, but my experience was not great. read more

Shockingly rude behavior from "Mateus" the manager. I called to complain that the DoorDash drivers once again (for the fourth time!) made delivery errors and didn't know how to work a condo building entry intercom. He said rudely to call DoorDash and I said after repeated problems they as the contractor for DoorDash should ensure they train their drivers better. I barely got this said when he hung up on me! I have spent THOUSANDS of dollars at this restaurant, at this location, and at the old one, and the other one on Sunset, and deliveries. NO MORE. It was outrageous for a MANAGER to conduct himself so rudely to about a 30-year customer. read more

The employee that was friends with the drunk, who is harassing me, did not seem to be dressed as a sous chef. He looked like he was wearing a dish dishwashing apron. Need to go cashier was informed several times and just stood there looking equally uncomfortable. The what I would assume dishwasher came out and spoke to him after I put in several complaints. There was no penalty or comments on it. He just was talking about how they just had drinks and laughed it off. It disappoints me to see that you care about the reviews regarding the plain Taste of your food being reported, over actual safety and harassment problems at your location. Very sad to see you a negligent management at the sunset strip. This is why I go to Pura Vida Miami instead of you now - far better quality and they care about their customers. read more

I like Bossa Nova and have been a customer for probably 15 years. I frequency the old West Hollywood location. What I don't understand is why their prices keep going out but portions keep getting smaller. I order the stroganoff this evening with two sides. They have me a huge portion of mashed potatoes but barely any stroganoff. It's a side for a reason. The largest portion should be the entree. And on top of that it's increased in price by like $5-6. read more

This location is decent. I came on a weekday afternoon and it was pretty empty. I ordered to go and got the Chimichurri & Picanha Na Parrilha, which is the broiled steak. I got it cooked medium well, and it was really good. It came with mashed potatoes, crisp onions, and asparagus and that was all really good too. There was a bit of a wait time for it to be that empty, but the food was good. My colleague ordered chicken Alfredo and she said it was decent. read more

This place has such a nice back patio where I like to sit. The inside of the restaurant is very small and can get crowded. The servers are always so pleasant and the food is always delicious.

Unsure why this place has such low rating but every time I go there the service is great and they always accomodate our big party (they do not do split checks though) and my go-to order is their carbonara. I've also tried their version of a Sheppard's pie and it was delicious as well. They have incredible drinks and the restaurant itself is nice plus there is a little bakery section with tons of selections of delicacies. Menu has options for everyone to choose something they like, can't make a bad choice honestly. read more

Omg this place was so amazing after a lingerie party I attended at the Sunset Room on Saturday night. My two friends who were driving drove me there and always go and I am sooo happy they took me. They have such an amazing menu and it's so nice they're always open. We were there around 3am after the party and every table was full and there was a line outside. However, they seated us promptly. It was so much fun and my wild mushroom vegan bowl couldn't have been tastier!! Shoutout to my friends for showing me this spot and cannot wait to be back :) read more

what an amazing dining experience! i can't get over how wonderful our server fredy was. he was so attentive, was able to recommend great dishes for us (& delicious guava cheesecake dessert which all 3 members of our party ordered & loved) & he had such a kind & caring personality. we really felt taken care of the entire evening. the food was delicious & bossa nova has such a pleasant atmosphere. & what a view from this location! right in the middle of the action in hollywood but still feels like a private getaway overlooking the city. i loved my chicken plate & the portions were such that i had more than enough to take home & enjoy & really felt i got my money's worth. i will definitely be back! read more

Since when is it customary to automatically add an 18% gratuity for a party of two? My guest and I ordered two meals and several drinks. In fact, our drinks cost more than the food itself. I didn't initially notice that an 18% gratuity had already been added to the bill. It wasn't until after I paid that I realized it had been included. To make matters worse, the POS system prompted me for an additional tip during checkout. This felt extremely misleading. The automatic gratuity was not obvious, and the additional tip prompt created a situation where customers could easily end up tipping twice. Given how late it was, I can't help but feel that the staff knew exactly what they were doing and were counting on customers not noticing the gratuity had already been added. Transparency is important when it comes to billing. Automatically adding an 18% gratuity for a party of two and then prompting for an additional tip left a very negative impression. Customers should be clearly informed of any service charges before payment, not discover them afterward. read more

Exceptional service by NOEL. Not only did he give me the perfect recommendations but he provided the most informational visit. He answered all my questions and even gave me a new drink to try that now became my favorite at Bossa Nova 10/10 !! THANK YOU NOEL read more

Just came for the brunch. Wow. Food was very good. I had the worker omelette my wife had the classic. Which came with plenty of food. My 5 and 3 year old shared the classic as well. Would definitely come back here. There was no wait. We came on a Sunday around 12. Maybe some light music could be played to add more ambiance. Other than that I highly recommend. read more

I don't understand why I keep going back. The service is slow. The food coming out of the kitchen is slow and I was the second table in the restaurant when it opened yesterday there was only three of us we ordered or two grilled chicken and a fried chicken you think you would come out a little faster but we have to do 2.5 service charge for the kitchen. Maybe we should improve our service read more

This was our first time at Bossa Nova and it did not disappoint! Noelí made the experience fantastic. He was so welcoming, attentive, and full of great food recommendations. We tried the Picanha Coullote Steak and Manuela's Pasta, and both were outstanding.

What a nice Brazilian restaurant, that isn't a steak house. With frontage patio dining, clean/open lines interior dining and a small rear patio dining with a skyline view, see pic, it has an environment for many diners. My pic of the bar illustrates the clean/straight interior design lines. On this Saturday evening, there was ample parking in the rear parking lot. The menu is quite varied, most of which isn't Brazilian. I took a pic of the "Order Information", I've never seen such an extensive list - hmmmm. Setting a standard for our meals, I've posted a pic of the pre-meal bread with their oil and vinegar bottle. The bread was warm and light - as pictured. It had the requisite herbs on top with olive oil - good flavoring. We each had amply sized bread dishes for the dipping oil and vinegar - which just made it better. From the menu section "Bossa Nova Grill" we shared the Traditional Chicken, which as you can see in my pic is a pounded and grilled chicken breast. The chicken breast was quite moist. It had a very intriguing and alluring flavor which is a result of being marinated in their Brazilian herbs and spices: all of which was good. This meal comes with 3 sides, we choose: sweet potato fries, roasted vegetables and fried plantains. All were good, crunchy when appropriate, savory as expected and slightly sweet and caramelized as pictured. And under the "A La Carte" we ordered the File A Cavalo. BTW, as you can see in my pic, this isn't a la carte as I'm used to it: it was a full meal. Buried underneath the eggs and the power grains was a healthy sized steak. I'll start with the best first: the broiled pub steak. While not a robust American sized steak, it was fairly sized and thicker than a breakfast steak. It was cooked to order, medium rare. It was very tender, juicy and the savory season salt was spot on. The eggs were cooked to order, and their liquid gold paired well with the steak. My 2 side choices (not bad for an a la carte order) were: black beans and power grains. The black beans were okay and the power grains were good. The grains particularly paired well with the fresh salsa. We liked the variety of their offerings, and a refreshing change from other restaurants. read more
