    Service and ambiance was nice as well as the wine. The beef carpaccio was delicious and caviar donuts good a well. Prawns were decent. Burger was drenched in sauce and bun was cold. Overall fun for a small bite and glass of wine and dinning elsewhere for dinner entrees if wanting more than a small plate.

    Bolero is always wonderful. We chose Bolero because our good friend was leaving the area to permanently join her family on the East coast. It makes zero difference which dish or dinner you choose, it is all amazingly prepared and presented. The service is exceptional. Tonight we were served by TJ, a very kind, patient and professional waitperson who provided very caring and efficient service. Accompanying her was Madison, a server we have had before who is just a delight! We always enjoy her talents and appreciate that she remembers us and is very genuine. A special treat tonight for us was a visit to our table by the very capable sous chef Melissa Olah! We have met her before and she was gracious enough to come by and chat with us. She too, is a valuable asset and great representative of the Europa family. She personally attended to our meal and it was “out of this world.” Thank you Bolero for a great time and terrific experience!
