   Service was attentive and pleasant. Alcoholic drinks were overpriced. The ceviche appetizer and yucca fries were not great, but tasty. The chicken antecucho and caesar salad were blah. In the summer, with the roof retracted, the ambience may be lovely; with the roof in place, the space feels cavernous and sound reverberates. Boleo is not up to Kimpton standards.

   Service was very slow and inattentive. Food had good flavor, but one dish came out lukewarm and another was overcooked. Overall disappointing.

   Waiter was great recommended good choices. Happy hour prices are good. Setting was excellent and it was quiet enough to hear each other speak. Tapas and sangria were excellent!

   Thanks for stopping by the happiest hours in The Loop, Mindy! We're excited to hear that our bartenders took great care of you and that our signature sangria and tapas impressed. We'd love to prepare more Pan-Latin plates soon. Just say when! Salud, The Team at Boleo

   As part of the pre-theatre birthday celebration for my girlfriend, we came to Boleo for dinner. As a beautiful rooftop bar with a retractable roof, it makes for a lovely happy hour location. We had a few appetizers and split some empanadas. Yuca fries are always a favorite of mine so I loved the yaquitas. The waitress asked if we were celebrating a birthday and when she found out we were, we got a complementary glass of rosè. Capping it all off with a candle in our little dessert cake, we had a wonderful experience at Boleo and would definitely recommend coming here before going to a show in the Loop.

   Such a great experience! New flavor combinations and everyone was so nice! Service was spectacular and I loved every second of it. Shout out to my server who had me try lychee for the first time. YUM!

   Great outdoor space. Quite a nice place to hang out for a drink. Food was fair. Empanadas had a very oily aftertaste. Ceviche lacked flavor and was a little fishy. Salmon entree was good but very salty. Maybe an off night for the kitchen but with so many great restaurants I’d only recommend this one for the atmosphere

   Hi Adam, Thanks for taking the time to share a detailed review. While we're glad you enjoyed our vibrant rooftop in the Loop, it sounds like we didn't quite deliver with our Pan-Latin plates. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our team directly via the info in our private note. We hope we have the chance to prepare some exceptional plates in the future. Best, The Team at Boleo

    Setting was great but feel they exaggerated the views of the city skyline. One can see the tip of the Wills (Sears) Tower at best. The menu was limited. For a small plates restaurant with a South American twist, there could have been more elections and more geared to that theme. The large plates were fine. Good sized portion for the price but again, felt limited and not innovative. Our server, Chase, was great. We enjoyed his company.

    Enzo, Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback regarding your dining experience. Our guests' insights are invaluable. We're very sorry to hear that you felt misled with the view. We are lucky to have a retractable rooftop that allows us limited views of the Willis Tower, but we failed to communicate this clearly. Additionally, were there any dishes or countries you would like to see represented in our Pan-Latin menu? We will be sure to thank Chase personally for his hospitality. He's an absolute gem. We hope that we have the chance to deliver a 5-star dining experience for you in the future. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly ahead of a future visit. We will do everything we can to ensure it's a more positive experience. Best, The Team at Boleo
