    Delicious pork with two types of plantains, corn, and a tSty cheese stuff toasted corn cake

    Loved this place!! Kelly and Keven are the best! We had pork, fish, chicken and ceviche- all were delicious and portion generous. It is a happy spot for parties and special occasions.

    This place has some of the best Ecuadorian food I've had . The place gets packed on weekends so come with time. There's live music on weekends too. I ordered the ceviche de camaron and seco de chivo, both are big plates and large portions- incredible! The service is also quick and good. I love coming here !

    The fees !

    Food was exceptional! Nice Ecuadorian decor! Go look at the video on my foodie page that I posted on TikTok/IG: zoetoldme https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAGu5jxvX3t/?igsh=MTI0cXV3YzA1NDl2OA== The only thing I didn't like was how many fees. The service fee was huge, also note that tip is already included, which is nice for the server. But if you're on a budget keep in mind how much they tax and add on in their fees towards the end!! I'd definitely recommend La Bolon!! only street parking

My friend's cover band (Dizzy Cats) play here twice a month. It's such a cool vibe whenever they play. Their bartender is really good. She gets the drinks out promptly and they flavors are on point.

This last time, I had the grilled salmon with sweet potato fries. My wife had the seafood pasta, while my buddy had the baked flounder. They were very tasty.

Spacious seating area with a bar in the middle of the restaurant. Lots of food choices. We ordered the weekly special which is a pound of shrimps (head off) and a snow crab cluster in a juicy cajun sauce. We also got the crabmeat fried rice. The seafood was really cooked goid and the fried rice tastes really great. And the total amount is less than $50 which is already great deal fir a seafood dinner. Will definitely come back here again and check out their other nenu items.

It definitely delivered, service was awesome, food was amazing, and also the restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. The interior is truly magnificent. We ordered the porterhouse for 2 and the cowboy ribeye. Highly recommend the cowboy ribeye along with the bernaise sauce and horseradish cream. We also ordered the thick cut bacon, Caesar salad, shrimp cocktail, cream spinach, truffle Fries and Mac n cheese. Thought the thick cut bacon was too fatty, but everything else was very good. Def not the best fries but solid nonetheless. Would definitely recommend and will be going back

I'd say we were successful in that regard, and this is probably one of the top two places I've been now in town, along with Garlic Rose. Even if you didn't have access to the menu, this just LOOKS like an upper-class steakhouse - lots of darker interior colors with deliberate use of lighting almost like the aisles in a movie theater. We did the responsible thing and made 6:30pm reservations, though the restaurant was relatively empty when we first got there (it filled up for sure during our dinner). We were immediately seated and attended to, which was a pleasant recurring theme for our experience. On the booze front, we each got an Old Fashioned, which was specifically cited on the cocktail menu, and a bottle of Daou Cab Sauvignon to share (I let my chum take the lead on that selection, which I think was influenced by the strong reviews on the Vivino app - a recommend if you're into that sort of thing). The Old-Fashioned was decent; I'm always pleased when the de facto bourbon is Angel's Envy. I'm not crazy about vermouth, which I always think gives off shoe leather vibes, but I did like the smoky profile on this one. Not bad at all, but I liked the bottle of wine better. We decided to split the Grilled Octopus app, which came with seasoned potatoes, olives and tomatoes. This was arguably the weakest part of the meal. The octopus was a little tough/rubbery and the accompanying potatoes to me were very much needed and better, frankly, than the designated star of the show here. I'm not an olive person but my chum's comment there was they were too overwhelming, taste-wise. Noted. We also got a side of parmesan truffle garlic steak fries, which I didn't have too many of because I was distracted by all of the other options on the table, but would totally get again. For entrees, it felt morally proper to hit up the cattle (when in Rome). I went with the Braised Short Ribs, which is one of my go-tos if it's on the menu. Pretty good - VERY tender and literally falling off the bone. I'd say about 20% of it was too fatty for me, and I pawned that section off on my chum, but the other 80% was primo. She got the Filet Mignon Oscar style (which my computer wanted to autocorrect to Oscars, thinking it was the umpteenth time I was typing something about the Academy Awards), and was very pleased by it. Not mindblowingly amazing but solidly above average across the board. I'm not sure why we ordered dessert at this point other than to ensure I had something else to munch on the following day, but we did that too. I got the Cheesecake w/ Marionberry Compote. This was just okay for me. Taste-wise, the cheesecake seemed a little off for my palate; maybe a little too tart? It didn't seem as milky as other cheesecakes, which doesn't necessarily mean it was bad, but wasn't my kind of cheesecake. The compote was also just okay, both in the moment and as a leftover the following day. Maybe I'm just used to getting this dessert with strawberries and compotes that are similar to that type of fruit, but I just didn't think the compote and cake meshed as well. Debatable though. There's room for improvement but this is a strong entry in the Cranford gastro scene, such as it is.

I've dined at the bar, where the fabulous bartender serves excellent cocktails. Also, there is a quiet dining room upstairs, but the downstairs dining area was a great place to feel the vibe and bustle of service last night. We started with a pomegranate martini and a gimlet, which was great but on the sweet side. The regular vodka dirty martini was the best drink, plenty stroclng with blue cheese stuffed olives. For $16.75, the Cau Cau Red wine came in a small carafe and equaled 1 and 1/2 glasses of this light but well-balanced wine. The dinner menu had 2 pasta options under appetizers, which I love to see, since I didn't have to choose between a pasta and entre cause I had both. The pasta dish came with velvety sauce with plenty of chantrelle mushrooms and bacon. The pasta was 4 ravioli like cylindrical dumplings with cheese on the inside. This dish was phenomenal and paired well with the wine. For an entre, the 4 meaty lamb rib chops cooked medium rare were perfect served over some tasty, lightly cooked greens and potatoes over a sticky red wine reduction. The spicy chicken parm was a huge portion of 2 large cutlets and fresh pasta shells. The dish was good, but it was not as great as everything else we ate tonight since he chicken was just missing a bit of crunch After the meal, we were stuffed and passed on dessert so we could savor the food memories. However, the waitress sent us off with 2 canoli's which tasted really good the following day.
