Jimmy the manager is the best! He made us feel so welcome and helped us pick the perfect wine to go with our meal--amazing selection. The vibe at Bobo is cozy and cool, and the food was seriously delicious. It's the perfect spot for a date night or a fun dinner with friends. Can't wait to come back!

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.

Bobo is such a cute brunch spot. It's located inside a townhouse with a beautiful dining room, outdoor terrace and a dimly lit den below street level. The den may be nice for dinner or even by the windows, but we were seated in the back away from the sunlight on a gorgeous day out. If you're looking to enjoy the beautiful weather, I'd recommend sitting in the dining room or outdoor terrace. I tried the avocado toast, which was simple with nice flavor from the sunflower seeds and a side of greens. I'm looking forward to trying more dishes next time.

This place just became a new favorite. I'm always wary of ordering a pasta bolognese because it always ends up being something I could have made at home. Still, I decided to go for it and it was so so worth it. Easily the best bolognese I've ever had. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the flavor was so prominent it really surprised me. I also ordered a side of frites to go with and they were so hot and crispy, you could tell they were fresh. The space itself is also super nice and didn't feel too loud or cramped. We sat outside in the upper level and it was a perfect spot. The lighting is a little dark so be prepared to squint at the menu, but the vibes are so nice. The service was quick and super friendly. We did have to ask once for our waters to be refilled but everything else was so great, I can't knock something so small. Definitely will be returning!

This multi-level restaurant is oozing with charm. The downstairs bar is comfy and has the friendliest bartenders. The upstairs dining room is lovely but it got extremely loud as the evening rolled on. We enjoyed the generous happy hour by having rose and oysters before our meal. The Branzino was good but a little small so I needed the frites to help. The flat iron steak looked good though the pomme pave wasn't cooked all the way through. They even gave us complimentary bubbles because we had made our original reservation at their sister restaurant Claudette which they could not honor because of equipment issues. Overall it was a fun and delightful evening. We will be back!

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!

RATING: 8.8/10 PRO TIP: Come here for a casual, non-fussy, well-made classic drinks to catch up in a cute, intimate space with friends/for a date. The drinks here were well made and the bartenders were so nice. Sitting at the bar is such a vibe and the service was attentive. The interior is dimly lit and intimate. My suggestion? Their espresso martini made with tequila was delicious. Such a cute place tot have a date and have a conversation with someone. Do yourself a favor and stop by when you don't feel like waiting on line for a stuffier bar! You'll find that the vibes are immaculate and the drinks are very solid. FINAL CATEOGRY: GREAT/EXCELLENT (terrible / bad / ok / good / GREAT / EXCELLENT)

Amazing experience here with my friend on a Saturday night with a 5pm reservation. It was one of the very few reservations left and while 5pm was a bit early, we decided to go with it. No regrets whatsoever because upon arriving, immediately it has a unique exterior and European cozy vibe. Once inside, the first floor wasn't too comfortable but thankfully we were ushered upstairs for our seat. The restaurant doesn't seem to be able to accommodate those who cannot walk up the stairs - I saw an older man with a curved back struggling to get upstairs but he made it! The hostess was helping him every step of the way. If they made the trek up here then it must be really good here. I started off with a drink from their non happy hour menu and my friend got the margarita from the HH menu. It was beautifully presented to us. We then ordered a few dishes to share and entrees for ourselves. We had the Brussel sprouts, the truffle croquettes, and I ordered the lemon risotto while my friend had the pepper crusted tuna. The truffle croquettes were recommended by the server and I wasn't going to get it but my friend wanted it so we got it and it was the best decision. It was SO GOOD! I wish we had more to go around! It didn't feel too heavy, but it was packed with flavor and perfectly sized. The brussel sprouts were nicely seasoned and cooked. we are off to a great start. Then came my entree and it was also perfectly seasoned. The risotto was a bit crunchy at times, totally not used to that but it wasn't the biggest deal. The lemon wasn't overpowering and worked well with the dish. My friend also enjoyed her tuna. We then ordered the molten chocolate cake and you can't go wrong with this ever! Everything was good. Service was mostly attentive. The atmosphere was cozy, lively, and romantic. The restrooms are limited and that would be the only con for me. But overall, we sat here for around 2 hours and it was a perfect dinner. Highly recommend!
