    Boss
    Leah M.

    The restaurant is located in a residential neighborhood with private parking lot. There aren't many spaces but there is street parking. There is an entrance near the parking lot and one in "front". Either entrance you will immediately see the host. I was immediately greeted and seated. I think you should ask if the customer prefers pub or table seats. I'm 5-3 and I find pub style seats uncomfortable. I was lead to pub but I asked for a table and was easily accommodated. The restaurant bar is a large open space, you can see practically everything. The wood burning stove and a large bar. My server was efficient not memorable. The one moment that turned me off? I asked for a cocktail straw he handed to me with his bare hands. Please use a napkin for unwrapped straw etc!! There is a decent amount of food choices but I love pizza. I must say the Boss Pizza is excellent and the deviled eggs different in a good way. I got Pierogies to go to for a Pierogi snob; they LOVED THEM!! Would I go again? Yep and bring some friends when they have live music!

    My family and I visited for the first time and always talk about how we need to return ASAP! The staff, food and drinks, and the ambiance were all excellent. Although the patio windows were not open, it still felt like you were outside with the views that were given. The patio is spacious and has beautiful gas fires on some of the tables. This is a great place for large groups! Michael was our server; he was very kind, patient, and friendly. The drinks were fun to choose from and he helped us decide on some good ones (Ten7 Double Scoop Milky Milky Shakey Shakey Peach, Top of the Hill, and Axe & Arrow Sour to the People)! For food, the Shrimp Po Boy is still a sandwich that I often think about, absolutely delicious! The Crab Cake and the Chicken Pot Pie were scrumptious as well! There is plenty of street parking along with a free private parking lot. Be careful crossing the street because unfortunately, many people do not stop for pedestrians!

    Loved sitting on the patio which gave a feeling of open air while still being under cover from the sun. We ordered the pretzels and beer cheese to start which were very good! Hubby tried the Boss Pizza which has pepperoni, meatballs, red peppers, and red onions which he enjoyed. I had the 23 Burger and added an egg on top. The egg on top of the savory burger and crispy onions was so good! The fries weren't my favorite in terms of of texture (stringy) but I did enjoy how they were seasoned with parmesan and herbs. We also had the dragon fruit mango sour beer that was on tap which was a refreshing addition. Looking forward to venturing back again with friends in the future!

    I visited here with my two cousins for dinner on a Saturday around 7 pm (we had reservations). It wasn't too busy when we arrived and we were seated immediately. I loved the open air feel of the giant patio room with giant TVs everywhere. I felt like I was sitting in a huge garage with windows everywhere! We ordered two apps: Cheesesteak Egg Rolls with spicy ketchup, which were really good-perfectly cooked, crispy, with a good amount of steak and cheese (and some onion), The spicy ketchup was similar to siracha sauce and I added some nice heat to the eggrolls. We also ordered the buffalo chicken dip, which was equally as good (when we finally got it). Entrees were the 15 pc wings, which were also pretty tasty. They came with a sticky sweet Thai chili sauce that coated every wing. My French Dip was just ok. I wasn't super impressed and the Au Jus was SUPER salty. My rating would have been higher but service kinda sucked. We ordered two apps--Only one was brought out (by a different person) and we were done eating the first one and wondering where the second one was. We couldn't find our server anywhere--he didn't come over to make sure we got our food or to see how it was. My cousin had to physically go look for him to tell him. Then it was brought out with the rest of the food, which is one of our pet peeves. We also had to flag him down for refills on drinks.

    I had the opportunity to checkout Taphouse 23 today for brunch with friends! I have been there many times in the past, but I haven't been since COVID began..but glad we got the chance to give it a shot again! I enjoy the openness of Taphouse 23...it was a beautiful day out and the windows were open ...it helped with the patrons comfortability level! The waitstaff were friendly and prompt and this helped with the extra star in my updated review! The food continues to be consistently good! Today, I had the Pork Belly as an appetizer and the Mussels for my main course! Great decisions by me I must say..both were flavorful! There are a good variety of cocktails and beer choices to compliment most people's tastes! I am going to keep Taphouse 23 as a cool spot out in Bridgeport!

    Taphouse 23 has a very nice atmosphere with the option of a nicer quieter sit down dinner in the main restaurant or more of a relaxed sport bar vibe in the patio. The menu is nicely refined to a single page and they highlight their signatures which I would recommend. Food was enjoyable, but I wasn't a huge fan of the pretzels. They were under staffed the night we went so service was a little slow because our waitress was also bartending.

    Nice chill patio bar. Foods was great and nice walls that opened to be either inside on cold days or open for a nice breeze.

    Last night was my first time there. I would come again. our server made us this one cocktail that has was really good. I would come here for a date night or to catch up with the girls. the atmosphere was comfortable and it wasn't loud, making conversation easy to hold. I should have taken a picture of our food. But I did take a picture of our drinks.

    The selection for food is pretty limited,they got a bigger drink menu! No complaints for the food though,they looked and tasted nice. The environment is what I like about the place!they got 7 TV so you can be sure to watch ur favorite channel and they also lit up the fire at 7 made the place look even nicer. Love it!

    Table and expensive $16 (ridiculous) Cosmo and it sucked.

We really liked the atmosphere too. We ate the aracinis for an appetizer and for entrees we had the short rib pasta and the salmon. We would definitely come back.

    We came here for Valentines dinner this year. We weren't gonna go out this year because the…read morerestaurants in Philly we wanted to go to were already booked. But then when I was looking up their burger week menu I came across the valentines menu and it looked good, so I figured I would give it try. My husband's dinner was alot better than mine so I was eating some of his, even though we always share anyway. He got the oysters with a dragonfruit sauce and they were good. I ordered crab and corn soup with grilled focaccia bread. The soup itself was fine , but it was only half a bowl and not much crab in it. I would have liked more soup instead of the bread. I gave the bread to my husband because we got a good amount of bread for the appetizer and I didn't want to fill up too much. I probably should have ordered the calamari instead , that looked pretty good. My husband's scallops with risotto was very good. Seared perfectly, creamy risotto, good flavor. Normally that is what I like to order, but I got the crab pasta because I love crab. I was disappointed In this dish. The crab tasted a little too fishy like it went bad or something. I also got a number of shells in the crab I had to spit out. I feel like they could have mixed the crab with some kind of seasoning or flavors. It seemed like they just dumped the crab right out of the can into the pasta and didn't even clean the shells out first. And they didn't even put the pasta in any kind of sauce. I would have liked maybe a creamy sauce with it. The pasta was just in like a watery garlic broth, and it broke apart and crab went all in the water and I didn't even have a spoon to pick it up. Dessert was ok. I'm glad we got the dragonfruit cheesecake instead of the chocolate cake, it was refreshing . The tiramisu wasn't bad but it was still somewhat frozen. I was kind of surprised because we are fans of the Pieri group restaurants. We have been to their sister restaurant Stonerose for burger week for a number of years now and love it. We also came to burger week at bar sera the one year and really enjoyed theirs too. I wish they did them separate weeks so we could go to both . Maybe it was just an off night tonite. Sometimes valentines menus aren't as good as their regular menu. Maybe we learned our lesson to go out the week before valentines instead for next year.

The starters of Tuna Tartar and the Arugula Beet Salad were fabulous, so full of mixed flavors, pleasing to all senses. For entrees my friend had the Blackened Shrimp ABLT salad, so decadent, so rich in flavors and content. I had the leftovers the next day, it was still fabulous. I had the Lamb Bolognese. A creamy thick bolognese but not heavy...if that makes any sense. For dessert the pineapple upside cake ala mode to die for! Great choice. My frequent visits in the area are Rosalie's and Estia. And now put White Dog back on that list. It's time to become a regular again in that rotation.

Part of me feels the tasting menu tonight is a bit of a letdown. 1) The caramelized onion with cream sauce is super salty to the extent that I couldn't eat it. My husband was hungry so he ate both without much thinking, but later he said the high sodium level became obvious towards the end. 2) One of the two main dishes: the scallops are super salty too! But I still ate them as there are only three medium-sized scallops anyway. 3) Seating is super tight, almost uncomfortable. You're literally on top of each other. So the restaurant became very loud and it's hard to hear clearly what the servers are saying. We didn't hear the "inedible sea grass" part, so I was poking the sea grass after I finished my single oyster. The lead female server almost "yelled"'at me. We also witnessed her harshly tell the male server to move faster to clear one table, which we find unnecessary as he was already moving as fast as the tight space allowed him to. But our tall young female server is very friendly--her warm mannerism makes us feel better during the long wait between courses. My favorite out of the seven-course tasting menu is: the smoked salmon with poached egg. It has a very balanced flavor and the texture combination makes the dish interesting. Maybe it's better not to do the tasting menu especially if it's your first visit, as it doesn't allow you to make any choice.
