I've been wanting to try this place for a while now having gone to some of its sister restaurants like rosemary's, and finally had the chance to and it did not disappoint! The restaurant itself is in such a unique location being in a brownstone and the entry way is down stairs to get to; there's a bar area in the front (which gets pretty loud fyi) but luckily for guests who have reservations, the dining area is upstairs. My friend and I were seated in the balcony area on the second floor and it was so pretty! As for the food, it was amazing too! We visited during restaurant week and had the opportunity to try a few different things. I loved all 3 courses I got - the watermelon salad was refreshing, the shrimp was filling, and the coconut sorbet was a nice dessert to tie everything up. I'll have to stop by again soon to try some of their other dishes!! read more

I like coming to Bobo for their happy hour (5-7pm) deals because they do $1.50 oysters (prices went up from $1-$1.50 from the last time I was here). Downstairs is where they have their drinks and happy hour deals, upstairs is where they serve dinner. There's not too many people at the start of happy hour, but it progressively gets a lot busier as the night goes on. We got seated at the bar around 6pm. The staff is very nice and attentive and gave us drink recommendations based on our personal preferences. The atmosphere is really cute, it's dimly lit and has a sort of farm-house theme to it. It'd definitely be a nice spot for a date night! read more

Honestly the food was horrible. oysters were oysters but no sauce and nothing special The other food was barely edible. Why would you add honey to a cheese & truffle croquette? very odd Wanted to loveeee it but it was trash. Try a different spot. Would not impress anyone. Also the service was horrible! Our waiter wouldn't come back and we kept having different servers come and maybe take our order and we waited so long to check out and they were so nasty rude! read more

What a treat! I came with my friend on a Friday night and we walked in. We waited about 15-30 minutes at the bar before getting seated. We did the restaurant week menu and it was delicious! We got the gem salad and the summer squash salad, and then the chicken confit and branzino. Everything was delicious, especially the chicken and the branzino! We also got the chocolate molten lava cake, which was perfect - not too sweet. Definitely recommend! read more

The service was very lackluster for brunch. We ordered cappuccinos at the beginning and didn't receive them until after our entrees arrived. Asked for an extra bread which they charged over $6 for just a small piece. Also asked for an extra poached egg with my entree which they forgot to add. The entree itself was small and lacking in salt. The hot sauce is literally a tiny bottle of Tabasco that you would get at somewhere like Chili's Would not recommend at least for brunch. read more

Bobo West Village is an underrated gem! I loved the intimate ambiance and cozy townhouse vibes. We were seated in the den downstairs which was a little cold, but the dim lighting and old school jazz music made it the perfect spot for a date night or a girls night! We missed happy hour since our reservation was at 7pm; their dinner menu is on the smaller side but the selection is pretty impressive. We got the spring pea salad, tagliatelle bolognese, sasso chicken, and seared tuna salad. All of our dishes were enjoyable and the portions were definitely filling. We also got a Honeybee cocktail(tasted rubbery, I'd recommend skipping out on this one) and an Aperol spritz(11/10). All in all, Bobo was a solid choice for a French dinner in the West Village and I'd highly recommend it! read more

Been a few years, but I returned to Bobo for dinner and had a great experience. I set a Resy alert the same day, and someone reached out by text to arrange a table. Classy! They also let me order a HH-priced margarita at the bar and transfer it to the check once we sat. Extra classy! I tried: + Epice margarita + French connection sour + Dangerous liaisons + Bougie + Beet chips + Crispy artichokes + Moules frites + Hanger steak + Lemon tarte The highlights were the artichokes and the mussels (especially the fries), though everything was solid. I also love the townhouse vibe, and don't miss the highly-decorated bathroom. 4.5 stars. read more

From the same people behind Rosemary's and Claudette, I would describe this restaurant as being a bit quainter. The staff was friendly and there was a lot of people there so it took a little while but that's understandable. The menu is somewhat similar to their sister restaurants though the food here is by comparison a bit cheaper but I would say it's a bit less eclectic compared to Claudette. I went here for the RW/Summer Restaurant Week 2023 dinner which came with three courses for $30 which was a good deal. Downstairs while waiting, I had a cocktail. I'm unsure with the cocktail was but I remember it being pretty tasty though I think it had pear liqueur or brandy in it but I'm not sure. They changed their cocktail menus pretty commonly and they have a nice happy hour special as well as a late night happy hour which concentrates of all things on martinis which is a fun spin. We were sat upstairs and it feels like you are home. I started with the Watermelon Salad which had chevre and chilies. This was small but refreshing with the chilies being a nice component though I wouldn't have minded more cheese. This is not on the main menu. Another person had the Baby Gem Salad with dijon vinaigrette and toasted almonds which they liked and another person had the Tomato Gazpacho with cucumber and basil which they said was good. My main dish chosen was the Chicken Confit with a warm escarole salad which another person chose as well. They accidentally gave me the Roasted Sasso Chicken with braised mushrooms, potato fondant, madeira jus from the main menu. The waitress as as another staff member (I presume the maître d') apologized saying that something was misheard or something similar and I could have that as my main dish which was very nice of them. The chicken of course was large and tender with a pretty tasty sauce and on the main menu all the main dishes are $26 and this would have been probably worth it. The sauce was a bit light for my liking especially for a red sauce base (perhaps burgundy would work better but I might just be preferring/thinking of coq au vin.) Another person had as noted what I ordered and what they got by comparison of course was a bit more paltry as it was on that menu and I gave him a bit of mine and got a bit of his salad and a tiny bit of his confit. His chicken was also pretty light for a confit being a bit less rich and the salad went well with it. Someone else got the Shrimp A La Plancha with summer corn and cherry tomato vinaigrette which they liked and the last person completely disregarded the restaurant week menu and got the Pepper Crusted Tuna with bitter greens, avocado, candied pecans, peaches, and citrus vinaigrette which they enjoyed as well as a side dish. For dessert there was only two options which was the Molten Chocolate Cake and the Sorbet Du Jour. I had the cake which was fine though I would say more of an afterthought but for $30 I'm not exactly complaining about having dessert when most places serve two courses for that price for RW. Another person had the sorbet which they liked and I don't remember the flavor. This place is quainter by comparison to their other spot and the flavors are a bit lighter. It's not the best of the style but it got the job done and the service bumps it up a bit more. Low 4/Upper 3. read more

Maybe it was the company, maybe it was the service, maybe it was the bottomless brunch options or maybe it was the cute, rustic homey feel of this place, but it all worked during a Sunday afternoon meal last weekend. I tried the truffle croquettes and the croque monsieur, along with multiple rounds of the bottomless mimosas during our brief stay at the space. Of course, I thought it was brief, only to look up and later realize we had been at the restaurant for like three hours! There's a nice patio out back if the weather cooperates; we ate indoors, but a visit later in springtime would be better outside. Otherwise, no complaints...looking forward to my next visit when I'm in the city. read more

Restaurant week French style girls night. This quaint little restaurant started our journey in the basement entrance. I was worried at first thinking it would be a cramped hole in the wall since the bar area and all tables were occupied. Of course there's more to it when we saw a flight of stairs unveiled when our hostess stepped aside. Already loved the candle tea lights lined on the stairs to lead to a more spacious 2nd floor. Much roomier dining space and a cute view of the West Village. Our waiter was the best and he gave us good tips on cocktails cause he can tell what me and friend was in the mood for, something citrusy and fruity for our girls night. Now for the food. I came here during the NYC January / February restaurant week. This time we both ordered the popular crispy artichokes and this was so savory and creamy. We both licked our sauce plates with our forks down to the last drop. For entrees, we both got the Airline Chicken Breast and the Parisian Gnocchi. The gnocchi was for me because I don't shy away from freshly made pasta. My friend's chicken entree was fresh, moist and flavorful on the surface. My gnocchi was so light, airy and puffy. Like eating little clouds bite sized. The mood at this place fit well as the volume was as loud and my friend can converse well with me. This place hit our hole-in-the-wall dining expectations and it was such a cute find. French restaurants are becoming a favorite for me this year and this also made it in my book. read more

Came here with three other friends on a Friday evening around 7:30 for dinner. We had no reservation but the restaurant does set aside tables for walk-ins. A nice group let us take their larger table in the corner so we had space. There's bar seating as well. The overall vibe is cozy and for restaurant week, the dinner was $45 for three courses. Not everyone was required to participate in Restaurant Week. I got the artichokes, the Branzino, and the chocolate mousse. The artichokes were a popular appetizer; the baby gem salad that my friend got was decently dressed. I also tried the gnocchi, which wasn't as rich as I thought it would be. The Branzino had a nice lentil accompaniment and was nicely cooked. We all really liked the lemon tart. The chocolate mousse was also good and came with sea salt sprinkled on top - it's wasn't too sweet, and was light and airy. Credit cards accepted. They have happy hour during the week. read more

This is my second time here. First time was for a private event on their second floor outdoor space and it was beautiful. This time for a dinner with few friends, also sat upstairs and the outdoor space was closed off so it was warm. The place is beautiful and very busy. I think short staffed because the service was slow. Half the table ordered chicken but they ran out of it which was disappointing. Also the branzino was so tiny, thankfully we ordered bunch of apps so I didn't leave hungry. Burger was delicious and also truffle corquetts were so good we ended ordering more. Gnocchi was also a crowd favorite. Grilled octopus was just okay. I wish they would list on the menu if there is pork in something so people aren't surprised with Meat they may not eat. read more

We got seated along the window in their den and we immediately loved the intimate ambiance of the place. We came here for restaurant week which was a $45 prix fix menu. I came with three other people so we got to try everything on the menu. Some standouts were the kale salad with chili and lemon breadcrumbs, the chicken with bread pudding, and the crispy artichokes! The chicken came out so moist and the savory bread pudding was a great combination! We also got a small champagne glass that came with our meal. Would love to try eating in their dining room next time! read more

I have been to Bobo several times. First, the positive: excellent food and wine choices, very kind and attentive servers, beautiful atmosphere. The negative: quite loud with nothing to muffle the overly loud talkers, too dark to read the menu without holding the candle over it; the profiteroles were delicious, but because of the darkness, I couldn't tell that the ice cream was scooped on the top instead of being inside each profiterole as they are normally served. read more

Great for drinks. Small and cozy. The hostess was super sweet the few times I've been. We stopped in for a coffee and bite to eat on a Sunday morning. The place was near empty yet we waited for an hour for our food. read more

Loved Bobo for an impromptu weekend brunch for for two - the vibe, the food, the service. Wonderful. GETTING THERE / VIBES: Bobo is a multi-floor spot in West Village, with stairs going down to a lovely, quiet bar seating area with little bistro tables lit by the sun from the windows in a very romantic way. We didn't have a reservation but were seated at a two-top near the entrance without a wait. The other floors have different looks but all share beautiful vibes (room with fireplace, patio seating area). DRINKS / FOOD: Brunch menu included an unlimited mimosas/palomas/spritz/ sparkling wine option but also interesting ciders, beers and juices. Highly recommend the Eggs Benedict (which smoked salmon option), one of the smoothest Hollandaise sauces I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy, and the eggs perfectly runny and orange-gold. The salad was sharp and fresh too! SERVICE: So friendly, welcoming, and made us felt at ease; we never felt rushed. It was a joy to dine in this beautiful space for brunch. Looking forward to when we can visit again for dinner, or snag a reservation on a different floor to experience the different sides of Bobo. Wonderful. read more

Overall: Decently tasting and priced food and drinks, in a cute setting. Tastiness: While all our food and cocktails were tasty, the portion were pretty small. The Basque baked eggs were not of the highest quality, with the yoke being yellow, instead of the orange hue of pasture eggs. Also, the dish was a shakshuka style, but it did not come with any toast or starch so sorta. A bit small, a bit disappointing. Service: Decently quick, but a little impersonal and harried. Ambiance: Cute, bright spot, with plenty of seating downstairs, upstairs, and on the patio. The decor is minimalistic, the tables are way too close to each other. Cleanliness: Very clean. Price: Entree items from $18-26, with most egg dishes around $18, desserts around $12, and appetizers around $14-18, with cocktails about $16. read more

I am truly enamored with Bobo. As soon as you walk in, you are taken into a rustic, old country French home and the vibe and ambiance is just so wonderful. This is my second time dining here. For apps we got fried artichoke and watermelon salad. Artichoke slightly salted but I love it just like that. Watermelon salad had small pieces of goat cheese along with drizzled evoo and it was the perfect bite during a hot, humid night. For drinks, 3 out of 4 of us got the "bougie". I ordered mine without alcohol and it was very refreshing and tasty For mains, this time I ordered the burger (medium) and wow -- phenomenal!! It does come with caramelized onions which are sweet and which I love and on sourdough bread so every bit was heavenly. Others got the steak (medium) and gnocchi and they really enjoyed it. Lastly for dessert, we got the lemon tart and chocolate cake and OMG. The lemon tart was perfect -- not too sweet, not too tart-y. DELICIOUS. And the cake was to die for. This is definitely a must in the west village!!! Xo read more

I wandered around the block like an idiot before realizing where the entrance to this place was (never mind that there's a giant hanging sign pointing out the door--I'm blind). Anywho, the interior is like being in your rich cousin's French country house in Provence but, like, half as pretentious. The Octopus was perfectly cooked, as were the fries, but I could've done with a tad less frying of the brussels sprouts. Drink-wise, the Gertrude and Alice comes with an explosion of bergamot petals that'll make you think of the 4th of July (and tastes pretty nice, to boot). Or if you're want wine, the Collioure is a lesser-known dry white that hit the spot. In a nabe full of cute spots that look like Norman Rockwell paintings, this one's particularly nice for a night out. read more

So fun. Loud and bustling, you can eat in the bar area downstairs and do some people-watching. Filled with beautiful twenty-something's, BOBO is definitely for the young. But the food is wonderful. We had the fried artichokes, the best thing I've had in ages. Then the octopus appetizer, sliced thinly and a pretty dish, but could have been a bit more tasty. The heirloom tomato salad, delicious. Gazpacho again so pretty and light. Then a burger, solid, with crisp fries. The tuna, pepper crusted on a bed of radicchio and frisée greens with peaches. Perfect and light. And the branzino. Another great dish. Pretty food, pretty drinks, pretty people. Will go back! read more

Came here the other night with 4 other friends and we all absolutely LOVED it. One of my new favorite spots for sure. The restaurant itself is l so cute--you enter through the downstairs where there's a bar and cozy tables for two. The interior is dim with lots of candlelight, and is a perfect date night spot. Our table was upstairs where they have a larger dining space with antique furniture and a gorgeous covered garden out back. For dinner, we decided to share almost all of the appetizers on the menu. The croquettes and the crispy artichokes were definitely our favorite! We also ended up ordering a second serving of the truffle gnocchi because it was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The service was a tad slow, but it seems like they were a bit understaffed with waiters. Otherwise the experience was perfection, I can't wait to come back here and sit in the garden! read more

Authentically French in terms of being a bit understaffed, taking 20 mins to take our drink order (not even food) after being seated, and then nearly 20 minutes to take care of the check. They were also out of French Onion Soup (not sure how?) already at 1230pm when we were seated. Vibe is nice and they have a good menu but perhaps caught them on an off day during a busy winter holiday weekend read more

Adorable, delicious and lovely staff! For dinner or even just drinks at the bar. Highly recommend . Hostess is a delight

We came here on a weeknight for dinner. Originally we were planning on trying out their restaurant week menu (how I found this place), but we decided to order off their regular menu instead. Their menu is absolutely adorable and the illustrations really add something extra. We started off with the Les Fromages apertif, which included three different cheeses, almonds, and a peach compote. It came with four slices of a baguette. I think my favorites were the brie fermier and the chabichou. For my entree, I got the seared hanger steak, cooked medium rare. Both the meat and the pommes pave that it came with were delicious. The potato was perfectly crispy. I originally thought the confit garlic would have been a little easier to spread and break apart with a knife, but you can never go wrong with any kind of garlic. I would love to go back and try their brunch menu, or try out one of their sibling restaurants (Rosemarys, Roey's, and Claudette). read more

I love this place! Came on a Thursday evening for happy hour with my colleagues. We snagged some seats at the downstairs bar. This place is extremely charming I must say. Its dimly lit and overall a very cute vibe. Our bartender was attentive and I had their Prosecco which was so crisp and delicious. I only got to try their fries as I wasn't that hungry but they were good! I think it's a nice place for date night so I'd love to go back for dinner. read more

Had an awesome brunch at @boborestaurant yesterday. Loved everything I got: - Truffle croquettes: these were so rich and decadent, definitely split this with people because you can't eat all of them by yourself. Incredible flavor, a must order - Croque Madam, this was a really well done croque madame. The bread was covered in delicious sauce and cheese. It was big enough that I probably could have split this with another person. A great brunch option. - Crispy Artichokes: these were recommended by the server and I'm glad we got them. Very tender and paired well with their creamy sauce The drinks took awhile to be refilled/delivered but overall really good and friendly service. My friends and I all said we should definitely go back. The interior is chic and very brunch-y. Perfect for a group. 4.5/5 read more

3.5 to be exact. This place is really cute and cozy. Came for their restaurant week menu. Both salads from appetizer were refreshing that helped open up palates. The branzino entree was definitely on the small side. Chicken leg was really tender. Wish they can combine the two separate desserts into one. Service was great that our server changed our plates and silverware for every course! read more

We had a reservation in the den for happy hour, and we got there and there were no tables in the den free so they seated us upstairs. After ordering a second drink, the Maitre D' came over to our table and said we had to close our tab and leave because the table was reserved for another party. Never got our second drinks, in and out in 45 mins, after we had a reservation. We were ordering food, I've worked in restaurants and know the difficulty of it. I would never want to take up a table without spending money but I didn't even get a chance to do that. There were many other options they could have given us: a table in the den, a seat at the bar, even an apology and come in for a drink when we're less busy. But nothing. Just a "we need the table back" after we had reserved a table in the appropriate section, after 45 minutes! Truly one of the rudest experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. And again- I've worked in the service industry and have the utmost respect for people that do. But there were a million better ways this could have been handled that were disregarded. Truly unbelievable. Great server though! Tipped him 30%. read more

The food was excellent - my friend and I started with happy hour downstairs and had some oysters our drinks. Then, we went upstairs for dinner and split scallops (the special for the night), the burger with fries, and muscles. I really liked the layout of having a more casual area downstairs and a more formal dining area upstairs. Our server did seem a bit overwhelmed at times and the person who I asked to pack our leftovers did not include the fries even though I wanted them, but it did seem like a pretty busy night. Still, I'd come back to try different items on the menu and it was super easy to secure a reservation. read more

Looking for something cozy? Do you like cute cottages with interesting floor plans? I have just the place for you. Bobo is a lovely option for a romantic evening out with the girls or the boo. Their menu is not that large but everything is great. For dinner we ordered the filet, chicken, bobo salad, and gnocchi. Everything was delicious. The filet was seared to medium rare perfection, with a side of frites (no arguments here). The chicken and bobo salad were recommended to us, both fantastic. The gnocchi was indulgent and rich, could not get enough. Our server was super polite and attentive and made our dining experience quite enjoyable. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a cute, casual dinner. read more
