Bar Bolonat

VERY over priced!
Food was only ok, service was slow but kind.
Menu is very limited.
Wouldn't go again.

I did not have a totally positive experience here. We ordered quite a bit off the menu and everything we had was OK but not life changing. It is also very crowded and small, and not in a cute West Village kind of way, but in an annoying kind if way. For the price tag, go somewhere else.

Bar Bolonat is a lovely repsite located in the heart of the village. The food is excellent. It's flavorful and doesn't weigh you down. Highlights include the Everyday Califlower, Fluke Ceviche, Chickpea Gnocchi, Jerusalem Bagel, and the Duck entree that is cooked to perfection, don't pass up on the "Milky" Chocolate Pudding with Tuile Pretzel and the Halva Creme Brule, #nomnomnom. Dishes come out family style and service is friendly and unpretentious. A great spot for a date or a night out with friends. I also appreciate the A.C. on these warm days of summer. If you haven't tried out this gem of a village restaurant. You're definitely missing out!

Food is decent, but portions are tiny and it is overpriced relative to the experience. Underwhelming.

The food here is good but the server we had was a pretentious jerk who ruined our entire meal by making us feel uncomfortable through his confrontational attitude.

Stating the plates are "family style" is a blatant lie when you get no more than a mere spoonful to share. We had the fried olives, Japanese eggplant, fattoush salad, kibbeh, ceviche, ribs, and sea bass.

The ribs were juicy but if you're sharing, you get a sniff, a taste and the plate is empty. The salad, kibbeh and sea bass were average and nothing to write home about. Tiny portions, not suitable for sharing unless you're a petite bulimic.

The server insisted that we place the entire order at once and stubbornly did not allow us to consider ordering more food later in the meal.

The horrid attitude, the tiny plates and elevated price tag mean that you are left feeling hungry and resentful which is a pity because you really want to enjoy the place. We ended up getting a slice of pizza around the corner afterwards.

We love Balaboosta. We are severely underwhelmed by Bolonat.
