Great food. Good experience. Staff was a bit scattered but they started to get their rhythm just as we were leaving. Will definitely dine here again !!
Two of us shared recommended tempura squash with a creamy spicy sauce, pot stickers with saffron, then a juicy simple burger and fries. It all was served timely and hot. I would have prefers some burger condiments such as pickles or lettuce, but I was pleased with the high quality meat, juicy and perfectly cooked medium.
Overpriced and overly salty, especially the fries and broccolini, just loads of salt. Room temp water served. Food came out pretty fast and our server was nice.
Okayish place.

We ate outside on their beautifully set up patio area. The food was amazingly delicious. Great server. We'll be back!
Great location and cool bar. Our server was not great, took a long time to come to us, food took too long and wasn't great tasting. We had the hummus as a starter and it had a strange flavor and was very oily. They do have a generous wine pour which was appreciated
Hosted an impromptu company happy hour and the staff/management was incredibly accommodating and kind. Would recommend having company dinners/happy hours here in the future.
We went for the Lobster Feat, arriving early around 5pm. The food was quite expensive ($60+ for a whole 1.5lb streamed lobster, cole slaw, and corn). Service was surprisingly poor given how few people were dining on the rooftop. The lobster cocktail for $24 was 2oz lobster chopped up with a bit of cucumber and heart of palm. I probably won't go back.
First time there in years. Greeted warmly, seated at a lovely table. Drink orders and appetizers were taken and delivered immediately. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Our server was as good as they get. I think her name was Cassie. I will go again.

This was our second time eating there. We think the food is good and reasonably priced for fine dining. The servers are very nice. The only thing I would say is brussels sprouts were undercooked so I sent them back and my husband‘s main course took a very long time which they apologize for I think maybe they were training new staff. We will go back again. It's a nice place to go and it was quiet.
Really enjoyed due to check-in with chef. We had come specifically for the lobster summer weekend promotion, but when ordering the whole lobster there was total confusion from the wait staff and the manager on how the fresh lobsters were prepared. Fortunately, the chef overheard the discussions, and took time to come over and properly re-explain everything. Without that, we never would have pursued ordering the whole lobster. But the chef's knowledge—and why didn't the wait staff and manager have that knowledge?—was perfection. The chef, Billy, was on his way out as his night off but took the time to come and chat with our table, and made sure our order was processed by his souf chef. Recommend BBC with Billy in charge!!
This is another one of those times where I wish I could give a 4.5 rating rather than 5. Feasted on the lobster fest on the rooftop for dinner. Lobster was great (cooked to perfection) and rooftop was a wonderful way to enjoy the meal. Price not cheap, but quite reasonable given the quality of what was served and the venue. Service was very friendly and welcoming, but a little absent minded and plates could have been cleared away a little quicker. Can't wait until the lobster fest next year!
The service was excellent because there was hardly anyone in the dining room. The food was good but the old fashion was not so good. The server did not charge for it. Bread is very expensive there, $20!!
The ambience at BBC is great. The service was satisfactory, but not stellar. The drinks were delicious and served very quickly. The hamburger had fantastic flavor, with a combination of sautéed onions and delicious sweet barbecue sauce, but was served slightly past medium-well. There was no pink. The lobster roll was nearly perfect, with the bread being light and buttery. The lobster meat was delicious, but overall, it was somewhat bland. There needed to be more flavor, maybe a light sauce. All that said, we enjoyed our visit and we're looking forward to going back again.
