Bobo is a Swiss Army knife of awesome. From fun dates at the bar, romantic dinner or for a group/private events, the cocktails are amazing, energy is always great and food is delicious and creative.

If you don't know the place you might just stay at the bar downstairs, huge mistake! Enjoy a dinner upstairs or in the garden, with live piano and great cocktails.

A date spot with ambiance. If its nice out, ask for seating in the garden. If it's happy hour, take advantage of $6 craft cocktails and $1 oysters (aphrodisiacs!).

I liked this place so much I had my wedding there. My only wish was that the rooftop deck was larger so that we could have had a larger wedding.

Beautiful cozy ambiance, uplifting yet chill music, really good food. Tried the tomato salad, gnocchi, and steak and all very good dishes.

Have Brunch at this charming decorated restaurant in the West Village. Portions are smallish so order a lot. Then soak up the sun in their secret garden while you enjoy delicious ice cream sandwiches.

A beautiful space, you must check out the garden area upstairs. Great happy hour that includes good cocktails (but only inside).

Love the vibe and ambiance; look for the bar tender James, he is great; amazing service.

Dude the bathrooms are so great. WC's are always an afterthought, never a great experience…but these guys made a great bathroom. 2-ply TP, nice hand soap, proper toilet-wall spacing…just great.

Everything I had for brunch again was incredible - the omelette and French toast - both incredible
Chris KSeptember 13, 2015
Soooo in love with this place! Everything is great! Cutest decor- yummy food. What more?

Go for the Latroon’s Lonely Punch, great daytime cocktail
Marc PhillipsApril 2, 2017
Nice ambiance, beautiful setting, excellent service. Poor value (the tiniest slice of a chicken breast was $26). Left hungry.
MichelleSeptember 25, 2014
Bouillabaisse was out of this world and so was the raviolini. Service was excellent but what topped our night was the fabulous decor!
Taylor MichieSeptember 19, 2013
Great spot with delicious food (if a bit overpriced). But the ambience in the garden is second to none. Snag a table up there of you can.
Jen ShinMarch 16, 2015
cute interior & delicious brunch food. get the stuffed french toast or the polenta and eggs.

Great happy hour from 5-7pm weekdays. Grab a cheap(er) drink on the rooftop patio.
Tosca RenoMay 16, 2011
Really cute and cozy adventure! Tiny on the inside but full of warm energy and quaint, funky details. The tables are mismatched and weatherbeaten, the food and service are polished and wonderful.
Yera HaMay 7, 2015
This place is breathtaking-- quaint, charming and full of energy. Beware, the margarita is spicy! Rosé is excellent.
Patrick BaskinJanuary 16, 2018
Really cute spot for a cocktail, will go back to try dinner

Happy Hour M-F 5PM-7PM. $1 oysters, $5 beers and $6 wine & cocktail specials. Enjoy at the bar or on the patio upstairs.
Amit GolanNovember 21, 2014
Do not be suckered into the back room. The main dining room is where you want to be. I was bummed that we got seated there, though the food was good.
Elizabeth BursteinOctober 24, 2018
Came here for Zeina's birthday. The octopus is great, along with the salmon and pear salad.
Bullfrog & BaumSeptember 13, 2011
Dinner at this seasonal, fresh and inventive spot is always good, but make sure to try their weekend brunch. The charming decor make it a great date spot!
Jason ShirkApril 15, 2015
One of my absolute favorite restaurants in New York. Great French food and the best atmosphere.

The beet chips are bananas! Also they make great Manhattans
Lady Zombie SangreaJuly 2, 2013
LOVE this place - they were awesome to me and my group on PRIDE SUNDAY (despite our exuberant energy and wild costumes)... and the bartender JP is a doll. :)
Sean DalyJuly 22, 2017
The food and service overall very good. I'm pretty sure this is a repurposed house, which is really cool. However, beware the third floor gets really loud
Sam MarcusMay 31, 2019
tremendous happy hour! really great value and super nice staff. very accommodating.
Teddy LuFebruary 17, 2015
very nice place for a date. sit upstairs for an intimate, cozy, romantic feel. food is good but not great.
Victoria NatenzonJune 3, 2014
I would have never thought to come here for brunch, but this French toast number was heavenly
Valentin GuerinAugust 1, 2015
Really nice bar and restaurant, you can eat in the garden. Perfect for a date!
Lee HoffmanAugust 12, 2012
Good brunch, French toast is excellent, and not too big so you don't feel like crap after
Puu KampolratanaJune 6, 2015
Our party of 9 got a table after waiting for about 10mins w/o a reservation. The waiter's very nasty and rushed us to order everything at the same time because there's another reservation right after.
Ryan AmbsJanuary 22, 2015
Service was excellent. Cocktails were done well, nothing spectacular but nailed the basics. Duck confit was very good and would recommend.

Amazing atmosphere. West village at its best. Get a "Pimms at the port"...fantastic cocktail!
Elizabeth BursteinMay 20, 2018
Cool atmosphere out back. Food was good too
Missy MackeyDecember 29, 2022
Really cute spot, sit upstairs if you can. The food is solid but not outstanding

Great food, great ambiance - a perfect date night spot in the Village.
Nemanja BabicJuly 11, 2013
They keep beehives on the rooftop. Also try the Norwegian Wood - amazing rosemary G&T variation.
Laura BarganierApril 14, 2013
The Norwegian Wood cocktail is delicious and refreshing. Tastes like summer.
Jasmine MaJune 6, 2015
Happy hour wine and bar menu were fantastic. Charcuterie board, $1 oysters, yum!
Vivienne GucwaAugust 19, 2014
Get the tartare. Exceptional. Nice selection of cocktails as well. The courtyard is magical.
Garry TanNovember 19, 2015
I loved the oysters. Perfect mignonette. Also the scallop pasta.
Caitlin HOctober 13, 2013
Amazing service, atmosphere and food. Great place to catch up with someone. Good wine selection
Mrs LFebruary 28, 2010
For dessert, try the Burnt Butter Panna Cotta! Aside from extremely delicious, its very unique, with distinct flavors that all complement each other. A lighter, easier to digest choice.
Natalie VApril 17, 2016
Good food and cool garden in the back!
Roniel TesslerJune 12, 2016
The food is good, but there are better options in the city. The real reason to check this place out is the ambiance.
