    The beautiful thing about life is you can learn something everyday. I, for example, never would have thought orange wine and rotisserie chicken would pair so well together until I came to Badaboom. I made the push to Bed Stuy to meet Ryan from the Supervinobros on Instagram, as we bonded online over our respective niches of rotisserie chicken and wine. What a crazy sentence to type. We clicked right away, and began chopping it up about what a crazy place the internet is. As we were having a bro-down and becoming real life friends as opposed to just internet friends, my heart sank as I scanned the menu and saw the prices. A half roasted chicken with potatoes was $32, and a whole one was $58. $58 for a whole bird!?!?!?!! That's the most expensive one I've ever seen. I immediately turned to him and whispered, "Bro I hate to be this guy and I know this is your spot, but $58 for a chicken is CRAZY. I don't have to make a video because if I do I have to mention the price..." He said "Nah do it, at the end of the day they price it like this, so they have to be comfortable with people knowing." Respect. Once my heart stopped racing, we took a look at the rest of the menu and the wine list. The wine list was his realm, and he began selling me on this orange wine that would pair well with the chicken. In the most confident tone he began describing the wine: "It's from this north eastern Italian region that borders Slovenia that is one of the cradles of the natural wine movement and they ferment the grapes this certain way because" yadda yadda yadda. I tried to keep up, but it was a different language to me. It was like Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining astrophysics to a 5th grader. After he finished his dissertation, I said "Yup that sounds great!" We settled on a whole chicken w/ potatoes ($58), roasted carrots ($14), and Asparagus ($16). Once I got past the sticker shock, this chicken was pretty damn good. Oddly enough, in my quest to find the best chicken in New York City I haven't hit many French restaurants, which is ironic because France is the birthplace of the Tissi. This chicken was absolutely delectable. It was a light, herb-based seasoning with a subtle buttery flavor. It was cooked perfectly, with even the breast being extremely tender. I've found a tender breast harder to find than one of the Legendary Pokemon. The wine paired so well with it too. I can't say it was worth $58, but there is no bird on the planet I'd pay that for. The potatoes were also phenomenal, as they sit under the chicken in the rotisserie oven and collect all the juices falling off. All in all, I'm thankful for this experience. We need to add this duo to the greats: Shrek and Donkey, Kobe and Shaq, Danson and Highsmith, and orange wine and rotisserie chicken. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

    I was excited to try this place and had heard good things but was left disappointed due to a few things. One of those things was the service, our waitress was a bit cold and did not check on us throughout our visit. On to the food, the roasted chicken was tasty but incredibly hard to cut and honestly not that much meat. We struggled using butter knives to carve slices from the chicken. In addition, the potatoes that came with our chicken were HORRIBLE, something was deeply wrong like they were possibly reheated or had gone bad. Thankfully we also ordered the potato gratin which was tasty although small and the green beans. Overall I likely would probably not return, as the chicken did not really wow us, which for a specialty restaurant I think it should've been more memorable.

    The rotisserie chicken and branzino were -- both packed with flavor and cooked perfectly.

    One of the best restaurants in the Bococa neighborhood. Class is their signature. Excellent food,…read moreservice and consistently striving to please the customer. I live in Boerum Hill and frequent this fine restaurant. The complaint made by the classless, loud party of 8 on June 25th is utter BS. That same evening, I was there celebrating with my party a very special birthday and that other large group was the noisiest, unruly bunch, so badly behaved that several patrons had to move their table away from them and others complained of the deafening loud noise they made. One man in their group of 8 sounded like a dog barking. The classless bunch walked out without leaving a tip and taunting other diners that sat nearer the door. That bunch have no idea how to behave in a fine dining restaurant. I'll be most happy that they'll never go back. Then we can eat a meal in peace.

    Very charming and cozy spot in Brooklyn! The service was attentive, friendly, and prompt. Had a…read morerather decent Sauvignon Blanc from Loire Valley. But if you don't drink, my partner had a fruity peach and mango puree mocktail that hit the spot in the summer weather. The tuna tartare is fresh with a garnish that complements the freshness well without being too overpowering. The main dishes: duck confit and steak frites were incredibly moist and flavorful. My partner and I were impressed with the flavor in the duck confit's mushrooms! Very savory. Fries are exactly how you want fries to be. The desserts felt a little lackluster in taste--the chocolate souffle and the San Sebastian cheesecake--but I will give props to the dollops of flavor with the cheesecake and that they are made in house. Had a great meal here! It was calm and not uptight, a great date spot when you don't want to stress out but enjoy a great meal.

It's a nice French restaurant with a great atmosphere and both indoor and outdoor patio seating. The service was good throughout the evening, and they have a great selection of cocktails and drinks. I ordered the bavette steak, which was good, but honestly nothing extraordinary for me. It was French food, well prepared and enjoyable, but I wasn't blown away. My date, on the other hand, had the chicken dish with a salad, along with several cocktails, and RAVED about everything all night! Clearly, his taste buds were having a much better party than mine. Lol Overall, good service, nice atmosphere, good cocktails, and an enjoyable date night. While the food didn't necessarily wow me, it certainly wowed my date, so maybe I just need to go back and order what he had next time!
