Good drinks, good food, good vibe, good value
Stumbled upon BarBossa from reading reviews. Small hip cozy restaurant with great Brazilian drinks. Loved the cheese puff rolls. Service was attentive and friendly. Sat at bar and drank until table available. Had the sausage and lentils special. Steak Polenta Ragu good , too. Great chocolate cake for dessert. Made for a memorable Lower East Side evening. Just like the "old days", circa 1980's to 1990's, in Manhattan before the wealthy suburban infiltrators took over.

one of the best meals in years
We stumbled onto Barbossa by accident but ended up having one of the best meals we've had in years. The restaurant is cute and understated, the staff was friendly but unobtrusive, the food was amazing! Everything tasted so fresh, perfectly prepared and the drinks were awesome. We will definitely go back.

Tucked away and worth the wait
Looking for a cheap place cause I (the broke friend) vetoed reservations at Elizabeth up the street, we saw a small neon BAR sign and gave it a look. Waited about 20 min. for a table in this 20-seat space and sat at the bar and had delicious jalepeno aiparinhas. The atmosphere is great and the food well-priced. Bartender, host/waiter = awesome. Luckily I was in a forgiving mood, though starving, b/c the one reason they don't have more stars for service is b/c our order (of 2 salads, soup and 2 sandwiches) took OVER AN HOUR! at 11 pm. It was unbelievable. Luckily the waiter dealt with my nagging nicely and shut me up by shoving bread at us. Overall, highly recommended as long as you've got the patience. Best for small group meals.

one of the cutest places i know in the city
i love the place! the food is great, there are fun people, the staff is friendly (and good-looking) and they have good affordable drinks. it's very small, but that's what makes it so cozy. one of my regulars.

Will definitely go back
Visited with a friend and although they do not take reservations for parties under 6 and have little room to wait (the sidewalk bench is your best bet) the food was definitely worth it!!! The chicken and mango coconut curry was to die for! So many items on the menu sounded great that I am already planning my next trip back.

What a delight
I recently visited Barbossa and it was a great experience. The food was great and the service was excellent. I felt welcomed and appreciated not like other restaurants who try to rush you out of the restaurants. But what I liked the best about BarBossa is the atmosphere. It was comfortable and relaxing. I will highly recommend this restaurant as i enjoyed it and plan to visit again.
