   We love bolete and can't say enough good things about the owners and staff. Whether we dined in during pre-pandemic times, got curbside takeout during the height of covid or ventured into the patio tents outside, nothing in the Lehigh valley compares in terms of food quality and care and attention by the owners. They are passionate about their business and treat it as an extension of their family. It is the one restaurant we look forward to visiting when coming in from out of town. Sadly, this year we will miss the fine meals as our travel up north is during their summer vacation. We will be back!

   After waiting a few years to find our way to Bolete, we loved the total experience. The atmosphere and simplicity of the 200 year old structure, the caring, informative, fun attention by the wait staff, and especially the creative food and drink ensured our return. We began with cocktails who’s descriptions had us Googling a few ingredients until our server filled us in. They were interesting, seasonal flavors blended to perfection. The food was beyond our expectations and definitely, and with great delight- out of our comfort zone. We were celebrating 2 milestones and this was the perfect place for that or just Wednesday’s dinner! Thank you to Bolete for a fabulous, memorable dinner. See you again soon

   This was to be an Anniversary Dinner. We drove up to a graveled parking lot facing huge garbage containers. Unsightly! Had it been raining we would have to walk into water puddles to reach the poorly painted entrance door. The ambiance in the so-called Four Stars Restaurant was almost identical to the Old Inn of the Falcon. Dressed up for the occasion we expected to be among relatively sophisticated patrons. Dress code and dignity for a so-called Four Stars restaurant, non existent! Our neighbors were a young couple in shorts and a so-so short dress engrossed in their cell phones. No other man had a jacket on, no lady with a nice dress. We chose the full course, appetizers, main course, a wine glass, desert and coffee. I liked the coffee, everyting else was just acceptable, For the price we paid, $186. we could have had a much better dinner at the Edge, Bethlehem Hotel or Twisted Olives. Cannot understand who and why so many stars were assigned to this restaurant. We have traveled world wide and enjoyed eating at the best restaurants in Europe, particularly in Belgium, and consider Bolete to be a minor quality restaurant for the price we paid.

    The food was without a doubt AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! Great menu, unique preparation, being able to order from the "bar" as well as dining room menu made the meal perfect for both my husband and I. The service was "fair" at best. Our waitress seemed to know several other guests and got hung up chatting at tables...we were left hanging quite a bit, including over 30 minutes after dessert before we could get the check...and we had to keep asking for water refills, so that 30 minutes was very long without anything to sip on or eat.
