Spanish food doesn't possess the big flavors that have attracted so many Americans to southwestern fare, but chef/owner Bobby Flay has the audacity to inject some and the skill to make it work. In an unfortunate room that reminds you of Gaudi by way of Pee-wee Herman, items as modest-sounding as salmon tartare on a chick pea polenta cake, black squid ink risotto, and black pepper-crusted sirloin exhibit pure bravado. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
Prix-Fixe Menu
Three-course lunch, $24.07
Note With the introduction of her dessert tapas menu, Pastry Chef Vicki Wells has taken the small-plates craze to its logical confectionary conclusion. Any three exquisite mouthfuls from a list of twelve go for $11.

i'm always a bit hesitant to try out restaurants run by "celebrity chefs." however, i was really impressed with the food and service at bolo. my friend and i shared the flatbread and couldn't stop commenting on how tasty everything was. although the restaurant did not have sangria in a pitcher that night we settled for white wine sangria by the glass...also delicious. i ordered the paella and my friend had the steak. bolo is known for the paella and i can understand why. great portions and great quality...steak was good too, though the horseradish sauce which came on the side not be for everyone. we did not order the tapas so i cannot comment on that.
decor's slightly gaudy but the food and service were wonderful. bobby flay and his partner have established a great spanish restaurant in flatiron.
I had my birthday dinner here recently and was really quite pleased with the evening. The neighborhood spot was just what we needed. The service was friendly and very down to earth. It was a cute and quiet place and the food was delicious. We shared the tapas, had lots of wine (huge selection) and I had the crispy sea bass. I loved my dish but wish I had gotten the risotto which my friend had. It was so good. I'll have to get that next time. We also had the cheesecake and some coconut dish for dessert which topped off a
really fun girls night.
