From Frank Bruni of NY Times Restaurant Reviews: “Almost none of the appetizers and entrees satisfied me quite as much as two of the sides: a gooey dish of farro made in the manner of risotto, thickened with Parmesan, butter and artichoke confit; and creamed corn with a generous dose of garlic chives.”

Basically, he liked everything we ate there, even, gasp the dessert. I always ask my waiter what I should eat. I’m not out to do a comprehensive review of restaurants. I’m out for a little fun with my wife Kim.

That farro risotto was heavenly and the creamed corn great.

  2. Who ARE you masked man? Actually, masked cousin.

    Did you see the comment on my other post? Seth, the pastry chef, got canned.

    However, when, as with Bolo, I have a bad meal or even worse a bad mixed drink, I do take the restaurant to task. We spent twice what we spent at Perilla and guess what, the bartender couldn’t even make a sidecar. Taste your lemon juice buddy. And the food at Bolo? Fair.

    See, I AM tough.
