Forget the 15-hour flight: All it takes to get to Boleo is a 15-story elevator ride to the top of The Kimpton Gray Hotel.

    The food was mediocre. The Lomo Saltado didnt evem come with rice, the friea were like Mcdonadls fries and overall did not represent true Peruvian quisine. The cocktails were good, and the appetizers were a 7/10. The place looks nice and it was clean. Service was slowwww. We won't be coming back.

    Great atmosphere!! We were there for an early, light dinner and it did not disappoint! There was live music that was really good and we all had empanadas that were great! They offer a table side guacamole service that we regret not getting so that is our plan for next time.

    What an amazing experience! Boleo is our favorite spot to enjoy food and music. It never disappoints, with the culture and vibe. They’ve introduced some new music events with live bands. We can’t wait to come back!

    Drinks were good. Food was not very impressive. We had the brisket that was good but the side was inedible

    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.

    Lionel, thank you for these kind words. We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your evening on the rooftop and our Pan-Latin bites didn't disappoint. We hope your return to Chicago is sooner rather than later! Salud, The Team at Boleo

    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.
    BoleoResponded on March 17, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to discuss your experience, Anon. We always want Boleo to be a pleasant escape for our guests, so we're disappointed to hear your time with us fell short of your expectations. Per the view, our glass ceiling is a rooftop view of the surrounding areas, without any structure above us. It opens up in the summertime, so we'd love for you to come back and experience our rooftop environment then. We will address your other notes with our team members and see where we went wrong . If there’s any way we can make this right, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team. We hope that we have the chance to make up for our errors, and you can see that Boleo is capable of delivering an outstanding experience upon your next visit. Salud, The Team at Boleo

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

    Pat, thank you for the kind review and the five-stars! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your dining experience and enjoyed the live music. We've got a lot more live performances planned, so be sure to take a glance at our website for the next artist. We'll pass along the praise to Chase and Hector. Thank you again for the support. We hope to see you again soon. Salud, The Team at Boleo
