Ate at Bobarinos before a show at 20 Monroe. Super sweet staff and very friendly. Even while they work out the B.O.B/20 Monroe relations, everyone was polite, not crazy with the rules and barking orders at folks. Great experience!!!

The bartender in the basement made me a drink based on what I liked, was ready with a towel when I dumped my ice, then made one for me when I was at dinner 2 floors up. Kudos to the waitress who went above and beyond to go get it for me. All four dinners were excellent. Steak, steak kabobs (fantastic presentation), kale salad, and french dip.

I had an exceptional experience. We did a dinner date and saw a comedy show upstairs, our whole experience was great. We'll definitely be back again.
