Reviews for Boleo in Chicago, IL
Never written a review before but the money we wasted here stings a bit. We don’t eat in the loop that often but made an... exception for date night. Paid >$100 for a meal that was generously worth $50 even with the vibes. Had a reservation in advancebut was stuck in a side booth by the bar where the waitress promptly forgot about us for 15-20 minutes at a time. Portions werelaughably small which would usually make you think it must be good or at least some attempt at fancy right? No... Save yourmoney and your time. Read more
tastiest food i had in the week !!! great chef seevice was not on the top of situation
Really cute enclosed rooftop space, casual but upscale. The food was delicious! Friendly staff. Definitely plan to eat here... again! Read more
Ambiance: lovely - indoors, but still feels like a city rooftop (just without the bad weather and noise). Music was a little... loud while the DJ was present, but went back to a conversation-friendly level once he left. Food: we tried several items on themenu and everything was well seasoned, perfect temperature, and a good balance of textures. Drinks were reasonably strong andflavorful. Service: the most friendly and energetic host I've met in a long time. He sets a great tone for the restaurant. Thewait staff are kind and knowledgeable, but it appears that they fill the dining room with more customers than the staff canmanage. We were seated immediately upon arrival and brought water, but it took another 15 minutes for one of the waiters (whowe kept staring at) to tell is that "someone will be with you shortly." Our food came out relatively quickly after we ordered,save one item (the sliders) that arrived around 35 minutes later (after we'd asked a few times). A four star review because I'massuming they were not like this pre-COVID. Everyone is short staffed and much of the world is still closed. But if the waittimes are normal, this is a three star review. Read more
Had a fun work event here! The open roof was really nice, especially in COVID times, and the atmosphere was fun. Food was pretty... good but some were just fine. Still, great spot and would def recommend! Read more
Great experience! Delicious food and cocktails! Below is a photo made special by one the chef's as a possible permanent item on... the menu. It was delicious! He described to us how his mother used to make this for him at home when he was younger ?????. Itwas fantastic. Please make this a menu item! It was the best that we had! Read more
What an amazing place in the heart of city! They go above and beyond to make your experience wonderful. The fox den cocktail was... star of the night, (added with a tequila shot ????) Boleo okd fashioned was also good! Appetizer : chicken skewers were thebest, must try! Good music, quick service, fun times! Definitely recommend. Read more
I’ve always loved Boleo for great food, cocktails, and atmosphere but our bartender, Will really stood out today. A large... group of us were looking to find a last minute spot to celebrate and we stumbled into Boleo. Will did an amazing job managingout large group while still delivering great cocktails! Recognizing the special occasion, he even jumped in to take pictures andlearn about our group. This review of Boleo is long overdue but big thank you to our bartender for reminding me what a gem thisspot is! Read more
