    Listen: under ordinary circumstances, I'd have given this place a much higher score overall. The service & ambience were lovely, and the food was delicious--but it gave my dinner companion & me some severe gastrointestinal distress! Otherwise, it would've been a great experience. Nowadays, restaraunts need to be more careful than ever about cross-contamination, because a lot of the food safety oversight has been eliminated. I'll still give this place another try, bc one incident isn't indicative of a pattern.

    Bully Boy was all kinds of amazing from their creative cocktails to the grilled octopus, the smoked pork belly with an amaaaaazing sauce and slaw, the duck egg rolls, the mushrooms, the sushi, the super tender beef with potatoes and carrots. Omg it was such a treat for my tastebuds!! Kudos to the chef and My server was THE BEST with descriptions of the dishes and suggestions. Thank you Bully Boy for a great first visit. See you next time…because after that experience how could I not return!!

    Great dinner with a friend at Bully Boy. We appreciated the small plate/shareable format and the oyster happy hour didn’t hurt! It was a bit quieter than we expected which was fine for the purpose of our meal but may be a consideration when choosing to dine here next. Fav items: shrimp yakatori, gin cocktail

    Beautiful restaurant with a great ambience and very cool open kitchen concept. The food was delicious, everything I had was fresh and great portions! Drinks were good as well, beautiful presentation. Service was a bit slow but I think the servers were a bit overwhelmed as the restaurant picked up going into the evening. Would definitely be back to eat!

    Great food and great service! Highly recommend sharing plates with friends to try an assortment. The mezcal cocktail also was a nice compliment.

    The atmosphere was great. Very pretty restaurant! Some of the dishes were superb. Some were so/so. I did not like how they relegated my soy sauce usage. lol. They brought me this tiny little ramekin with how much soy sauce they thought I should use. I had to stop halfway through my one roll and wait to catch a server’s attention to ask for more soy sauce and more wasabi. I would have really liked to ask for more ginger but I felt too greedy. HA! Anyway, it was kind of bizarre. Also - straws! You are not saving the world by not having straws. It is super annoying to go to a restaurant that virtue signals by taking a stand on … straws …. Of all things.
