“Tonight my wife and I had a reservation elsewhere and were left standing waiting for a table for over 40 minutes, we decided to leave and go across the street to Bolo where we had an amazing meal. They sat us right away and we already had drinks in our hand by the time the other restaurant tried texting us to say our table was ready. Cevice, some skewers, a salad, bacala fritters, the chicken chicherones, and the beef. Everything was amazing. We definitely over ordered but were happy with everything we got. Good sangria too. Another great meal at Bolo. Will be back soon. Chef is great and so friendly. Really saved our night.“

“This was a very good first experience that could have been great. The food and drinks were fantastic. What shortchanged the evening was three things. First, the music was too loud and not really designed for fine dining. Instead of some nice Latin or Cuban music, it was more of a heavy beat dance sound...which would be fine for a dance club or bar but not really for a restaurant. Second, we ordered a meat heavy dish, and they did not give us a steak knife; instead, we had to cut everything with a butter knife. Lastly, the restaurant automatically adds 18% gratuity to all tables (big or small). I don't like this practice because it means you don't always get great service...our service was okay but not quite up to 18%. If there has to be automatic gratuity, set it low at say 15% to give the waitstaff a reason to stay on their toes.“
