Seasonal, Great wine and service
We stumbled upon this gem and were pleasantly surprised by the enchanting mood and personal attention to our service. The menu was just as charming and fun as the restaurant. I started off with a local IPA from Brooklyn, peking duck wrapped in swiss chard with foie, sirracha, cilantro and pickled radish. Then we had a long island fried oyster served in the shell, tuna served with avocado mousse and a BLT with braised pork belly, chutney and smoked tomatos. I felt like the wine list was very well thought out and complementary. I'm looking forward to coming back with friends from out of town.

Good and some really bad...
We just ate at Bobo. There was both good and quite bad….Here’s the good…The place looks great and its whimsical décor is attractive and transporting. It has several rooms, all unique and different. Also, the staff was great and really attentive. We tipped 20% and they deserved it. But now onto the food which is the bad….I had read the food was a “disaster” but did not want to believe it. I won’t go so far as to call it a disaster, but it was very disappointing and clearly not up to the caliber of the atmosphere or prices. They offer many appetizers for the table. We ordered nearly one of each and found all of them except the friend oysters and ahi tuna to be tiny, wacked out on pricing and disappointing. I had the striped bass for an entree. They mistakenly, I must assume, put green curry on it which overwhelmed the fish. The fingerling potatoes were also way undercooked. As for the desserts, at $12 each they were far too small to share, and aside from the chocolate cake not worth the calories. I can’t recommend this place to anyone, but still like the vibe and atmosphere.…

Fantastic, must go back
Our server was fantastic, the atmosphere outside when it starts to get dark is very romantic and the duck is to die for. Actually all the food was fantastic, only issue is it is a little expensive for what you are getting (3 scallops for almost 30 dollars - come on, i know how much they cost), but for the experience it was wonderful. I will definitely go back and just not get the scallops

Bar scene better than the food
Downstairs the bar was pretty full, the drinks being poured, great pub food and a live band. We went upstairs to dine and ordered a nice bottle of wine. The decor is great and the tables were full. Appetizers were the tuna and the clam chowder(both were good). Main courses were the duo of pork (very bland) and the sea bass (VERY oversalted). Sides were the mushrooms and the brussle sprouts which were ok. Dessert was the sorbet. We would return for the bar and the pub food over the upstairs dining.

Fabulous place
I have taken clients here on several occasions - and the food and service are consistantly fabulous. A bit pricey - but you get what you pay for.

Can't Wait to Go Back!
My wife and I have been eager to try this place ever since the new chef started. It exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back again soon. In addition to a great wine list that my wife enjoyed - the appetizers were so enticing that we barely had room left for our entrees. We had the potato-and-bone-marrow dauphines, the tempura-fried cornichons, along with the spare ribs. All of them were excellent and my wife had to talk me out of ordering another fried cornichons (fried small pickles) to save room for my burger, which I had heard was one of the best burger's in the city. In my opinion, it is the best burger - and I found it to be a fantastic symphony of flavors - that after one bite you will say, "wow - that is a great burger". The great seasonings, and mix of the gruyere cheese and fried leeks that were piled on made this meal one to remember - surpassing expectations. My wife's striped bass was flavorful and just as memorable and when combined atmosphere, provide a romantic yet chic vibe. We can't wait to go back!

excellent
delicious meal. i am a vegetarian and had the vegetable plate which was not on the menu, but was so delicious. each preparation was unique and special and there were about 7 different types on the plate and they all went together perfectly. On the side was a deep fried soft boiled egg which was one of the most crazy delicious things I have ever eaten. everyone else I was eating with who eat meat all loved their meals as well.
