    authentic Puerto Rican food that brought us back to our time living on that wonderful island. We are looking forward to returning again as a family and reminiscing about all of our activities from our time in PR that were shared with similar dishes.

    Bolo has excellent flavor profiles but had issues with several items preparation. My fiancé's red snapper (which was $43.00) was not deboned, and he had to stop eating after several bites. The Pina colada we got ($17.00) was not fully blended and we found HUGE chunks of ice. Service overall was good. I would not recommend Bolo to my family and friends as it is hard to justify the cost when there are glaring issues with food preparation.

    Wonderful dining experience! The goat cheese snack and the salmon and snapper ceviches were so so good. Delicious cocktails, great service, and the lively atmosphere made for a fun nite out. Definitely agree with a Best of Philly ranking. Thank you, Bolo!

    Food was amazing, we were talking about it for days! All of the flavors were curated so perfectly and the textures were wonderful! From the first drink to the last bite of dessert we were blown away. We went in not knowing what to expect and were more than pleased. I couldn’t even be mad at the somewhat “small” portion sizes for the cost, I chalk that up to the abundance of food we’re used to in America because I was full still just after appetizers, I think I just wanted more it was so good! 10/10 recommend! We can’t wait to bring friends and family here!

    Went for happy hour. Did not realize if we moved upstairs the deal/specials for HH would not longer apply to us. Our server was kinda enough to make an exception because no one had told us before we moved. The food service and ambiance was amazing very beautiful and high quality. With that being said that comes at an expense… the main menu food was quite expensive, another reason why we stuck with HH. Happy hour food was delicious and very reasonably priced! Will be back!

    Outstanding! Went with group of six and we did sharing style. Enjoyed the three tastes of ceviche, suckling pig, seafood dish, short rib dish. Everything was so flavorful, service was great. Cocktails were also tasty and the pannacotta dessert was wonderful. Highly recommend!

    We were a family group of 5, parents with adult children and we went on a Thursday night to listen to the live music. We sat upstairs and could hear the wonderful music at a comfortable level to accompany our dining experience. The service was amazing and the food was delicious! We couldn't have asked for a better time! Thank you!
