Concierge.com's insider take:
Bobo may be the most accessible of New York's glitzy new insider restaurants. Unlike Freemans (hidden in an alley) and the Waverly Inn (co-owned by Vanity Fair's Graydon Carter), there's no need to know a guy who knows a guy. Mere mortals can score prime-time reservations with relative ease by calling a week or two in advance. The bi-level brownstone jewel box feels like a shabby-chic European apartment, with mismatched antiques in the dining room, old family photos on the walls, a few inviting tables on a backyard patio, and lively greenmarket food served on hand-me-down china. Chef Jared Stafford-Hill's French-American menu is simple without being drab. A gorgeous spring salad features the season's best produce: mini artichokes, asparagus, morels, and fava beans under a tangle of greens. A succulent swordfish steak reclines on raisin-fennel chutney and a silky bed of celery root purée. Desserts range from homespun (buttery rhubarb crisp served in a teacup) to luxurious (chocolate soufflé), just like the decor.
Open Sundays through Wednesdays 6 to 11 pm, Thursdays through Saturdays 6 pm to midnight.
