Food was exquisite, all delicately prepared and wonderfully presented. The setting is a serene rooftop open area with large skylight. I will definitely be visiting again when I visit Chicago again.

Excellent restaurant and fantastic service! The empanadas were incredible and the service was top notch. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We had a lovely experience at this restaurant! Hector, the bartender was so great! Gave us advise on the menu, made great drinks! Had table side guac, delicious. Then we had several small plates, empanadas, grilled octopus and the dessert empanadas were great! Nice atmosphere!

After reading about this place online, I was pretty disappointed. There is no view, you really can't tell you're on a rooftop. Food was mediocre. Server kept trying to take away plates that still had food on them, then was nowhere to be found when we needed the check.

Chase and Hector were amazing. The food was delicious! Every item was seasoned perfectly. It also was great to have live music during dinner!

The food was excellent! The waitress was not. They had a Valentines Day special on a filet for $48, she charged us $55. We also had a 10% coupon that she never applied to our bill. And then charged us $10 for dessert that we never order. She only to check on us once. The first time she brought our bill, it was the wrong one. By the time we figured all the other stuff out about our bill we were frustrated and left. I will call the restaurant tonight when they open and talk to a manager.

Bad experience because when we were sat down and ready to order, we were told that there was no food from the menu. We were only able to have the Valentine's Day course which didn't have good course options anyways. We had to leave, we did not want to eat food that we didn't like. It's sad because our waiter was actually really nice about the whole situation and was understanding that we wanted to leave. Customer service was so good for the little time we were there, that was the only good part.

We were new to Boleo and it was nothing short of spectacular! We visited during Restaurant Week. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The staff was friendly and attentive, frequently checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. The ambiance is unique, with a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that transports you to South America. Every dish we tried was delicious and flavorful, with perfect portions. Our favorites were the Yaquitas and the Ceviche. The cocktails were also outstanding, perfectly complementing the Latin American-inspired cuisine. As first-time diners, we had a very satisfying experience and will certainly return. We highly recommend Boleo to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Chicago! Huge thanks to Guillermo, Jaime, and Maleka (sp?) for the warm welcome! Cheers!

The beef brisket was a large portion, but towards the end it was dry as there wasn't enough sauce. The yucca fries and spinach accompanying it were a bit salty. The room is large and with music playing it was a bit loud. The rooftop and general set up was very nice. The cocktails and service were great!
It's a beautiful, enclosed rooftop restaurant that has good food and excellent drinks!

As part of the pre-theatre birthday celebration for my girlfriend, we came to Boleo for dinner. As a beautiful rooftop bar with a retractable roof, it makes for a lovely happy hour location. We had a few appetizers and split some empanadas. Yuca fries are always a favorite of mine so I loved the yaquitas. The waitress asked if we were celebrating a birthday and when she found out we were, we got a complementary class of rosè. Capping it all off with a candle in our little dessert cake, we had a wonderful experience at Boleo and would definitely recommend coming here before going to a show in the Loop.

This place is fantastic. A gem of a rooftop bar with amazing food and a wonderful staff. The cocktails are put of this world as well. We loved the Crviche, the chicken skewers, and the octopus.

Was just here a couple of hours ago for a company event. A few of us were late, we met our group of 10 that were already seated on a long table. We asked if we could add a table at the end for the additional 3 people and the staff blatantly and I affectionately said we can’t, we are fully booked tonight, even though it was only 4 o’clock in the afternoon we were surrounded by empty tables. By the time our group left at 5:50pm we were still surrounded by empty tables. This reception felt very rude to me, considering she’s going to get a hefty tip from out group. The ambiance, food and drink were very good. But I will not be recommending this for group or company functions during to the disrespectful service.
