    First time here and will definitely not be our last. Server Sam, and manager on duty were outstanding. Service was prompt, friendly and professional. Sam explained the location and the brand to us for our first visit, and made us so excited to be there They had great bottled wine features she directed us to, and made amazing cocktail suggestions. She recommended the calamari and told us it was Humboldt squid, it melted in our mouth, outstanding. We were so impressed by the appetizer we held off our entree order to get another appetizer, the whipped feta. This dish was outstanding, the chef here has spent time making sure his flavors are cohesive and amplify each bite and flavour. The olive tapenade is a lost art that borough bar has perfected. We got the mushroom risotto. The arborio was cooked to perfection, al dente, with a bit of bite and not soggy. Outstanding with the fried mushrooms and fresh arugula but felt it was a bit overpowered by the truffle. The cubano was out of this world, such flavorful pork and such outstanding complimented flavours. Any minor issues we encountered were quickly and professionaly handled by the manager. Though it was miniscule he still came by the table at the end to offer us dessert and talk to us about our experience Not a bad word can be said about borough bar. As a tough critic they get 10/10 in my books and will reccomend to everyone i know.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our Caesar salad and prime rib dinner special Sunday evening. Everything was prepared to perfection and the service was excellent especially considering the restaurant was very busy. A little noisier compared to our many previous visits but I believe it was because it was a full house.

    Calamari was soggy. Roasted salmon with ratatouille was bland. Rigatoni was saving grace but wasn’t that good. Service was great and ambience was good

    This is a great place to go for lunch. The charred cauliflower is absolutely divine. My companion had the baked brie. Both plates were the perfect portion. Terrific value for price. The service was attentive but not overbearing. Birthday prosecco for the birthday person, an unexpected but delightful perk. Overall, a very good experience.
