"Bobo's" is a stylish destination for the most exquisite steak and crab in the City. With antiqued red walls, colored glass light fixtures, and tablecloths, the restaurant is like a plush Venetian jewel box. Executive Chef-Owner Andrea Froncillo has created a delectable menu that showcases his signature steak and seafood creations. The steak is USDA-certified prime beef, dry-aged for four to six weeks - longer than anywhere else on the West Coast! Our award-winning bone-in filet was the 1st on the West Coast. The crab is Dungeness, harvested from the Pacific Ocean, and roasted in a savory garlic-butter sauce that is positively addicting.

    Went for Christmas. Was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The service was top notch, the food was delicious, drinks came out promptly, and the inside decor was very welcoming and unique. We started with the crab and artichoke dip, split the 2 whole crabs, and shared the garlic noodles and baked potato. Everything was so good, I highly recommend the crab!

    I had the pleasure of dining at the Blue Mermaid for Christmas Eve, and it was an exceptional experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made the evening special. The ambiance was warm and festive, providing the perfect setting for the holiday. The meal itself was outstanding, featuring delicious dishes that exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the Blue Mermaid for any occasion and look forward to returning soon.

    I would give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could! The food is expertly prepared, the service is outstanding, and the flavors are authentically Brazilian. My husband is usually a tough critic, but he enjoyed every dish we ordered. This has quickly become our favorite restaurant!

    The Star is a comfortable, casual restaurant focusing on good service and friendly staff. We had a good time, neither of my friends had been there before so they really enjoyed the salad and pizza we shared.
