Maybe it's because I was sick, maybe it's because it was 7pm on a Monday night and over 60% of the tables were empty, but Bobby Flay's Bolo Restaurant certainly wasn't up to the standards of Mesa Grill, Bobby Flay's shining star. Bolo is more of a Spanish Tapas restaurant with the standard entrees of the likes of Mesa Grill. We started off with two appetizers, shrimp & garlic and baked manchego cheese. Certainly standard on any tapas menu. For dinner I had the pork tenderloin that was supposed to be "filled" with walnuts and a sherry fig sauce, but it never made it's way into the pork. My friend had the carmelized chicken...it looked and tasted better than my pork. It literally fell right off the bone, yummy!!
I'm not sure if given the chance I'd go back, thre are certainly thousands of other restaurants in NYC that would be better. In my opinion I'd stick to Mesa Grill!
