" While I found Bosk to have a lovely setting and attentive service, I was underwhelmed by the food during my visit. The risotto was good, but the scallops were overly salted, which really detracted from the flavors. Dessert was decent, with the tiramisu being the best part of my meal. I might give it another shot to see if I just caught them on an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Bosk based on the reviews, but my experience was only good, not great. The appetizers were fantastic—especially the crispy chicken ballotine. However, my main course lacked excitement; the flavors were good but not iconic. What stood out was the attentiveness of the staff, who checked on us frequently but without feeling intrusive. I might recommend Bosk if you're in the area but temper your expectations a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Bosk for brunch with a group of friends, and we were all impressed! The menu offered a unique twist on traditional brunch items, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The eggs Benedict with lobster and the specially crafted mimosa were standouts! The service was on point, with our server ensuring our glasses were never empty. I recommend Bosk for a lively brunch hangout—definitely a place I’d revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great brunch at Bosk! The service was friendly with a cheerful ambiance that made the morning bright. I tried their pancakes, which were fluffy, and their omelet which had fresh ingredients. The only downside was that the portion sizes felt modest, but it was delicious nonetheless. I would return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bosk is a lovely restaurant but had a few highlights and a couple of misses. The ambiance was classy and perfect for celebratory dinners. I thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers, but the main course seemed to underperform compared to my expectations from previous reviews. Service was really great, and they handled any issues promptly. I likely wouldn’t rush back, just okay overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Bosk! The ambiance was upscale yet comfortable, making it perfect for a date night. We tried their duck confit, and it was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin that complemented the tender meat. The dessert selection was a highlight as well; each was artfully plated. The service was attentive but not overbearing. I am already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I couldn’t be happier with our dinner at Bosk. The flavors were outstanding, especially the caramelized banana dessert. However, I felt the dishes were smaller than expected for the exhibit price. The service staff were excellent—knowledgeable and friendly. If they could adjust their portion sizes, I’d give it a higher rating. " (*Curated Review*)
