   The visit to Bar Bombon, is always a must when I visit from Canada. Todays dining experience wasn't my favourite. I didn't plan to eat solid food today but rather have liquids neither of the items I requested were available, my waiter said he was going to see what he could, but never mentioned it again, my daughters pancakes were raw on the inside, so we kindly asked them to remake them. And lastly we typically pay for parking on the street but I realized they offered validated parking. That was a crazy experience, because the validation sticker they gave us expired (10/24/24) which lead us to go back to the restaurant who didn't have any new ones, so we had to call the parking help line, who said we can't offer you the validation on the 60 min mark because you called too late (the stand in employee on duty didn't help much so we were going back and forth) so we ended up paying $32 dollars anyway... lol but ya. The food is typically amazing just sort out your parking prior to I suppose.

   I'd been to Bombon 2 years ago and loved the food despite the noisy atmosphere. This time Bombon disappointed on almost all counts. 1) I made reservations, yet had to wait 15 minutes in a crowded space. 2) Our waitress was friendly yet clueless. I asked what kind of herbal teas there were. She listed green and black along with herbal, apparently not knowing the difference. My husband and I asked for 1 check and our friend asked for her own check. When the checks arrived, some of my dishes were on my friend's check, and one or two items she had were on my husband's and my check. 3) The kitchen was a great disappointment. A few minutes after we ordered, the waitress returned to tell us that they were out of the Spanish rice. Or we could wait 30 minutes for a fresh batch. How is this possible? NO RICE!! Then our meal was served piecemeal. My husband got his nachos, then I and my friend got plantains a while later. My friend's tacos arrived 10 minutes after that and my corn came 10 minutes later, followed by my beans 10 to 15 minutes after that. So we each ate at different times and my first two dishes were cold by the time my last dish arrived. NOT acceptable.

   The tacos were good but the service was so poor, I'm not sure I'd go back. FYI Taco Tuesday has been promoted as 4-9pm on Instagram but it was apparently only until 7pm. Another table was disappointed to find out the hours for that special had been shortened from what was previously promoted.

   We went to brunch after hearing rave reviews about Bar Bombon. The menu looked amazing and they had a lot of great options for gluten-free folks, as well. The cocktails were delicious and the food was very good overall. The service started out strong but we did wait a bit for the server to come check on us and then to bring the check. It started to get crowded when we were leaving when the noise levels ramped up a bit, and some of the seating puts you close to other people. (I don't mind but others might.) Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would absolutely go back.

    Visited Philadelphia to attend an event at The College of Physician of Philadelphia located on 22nd street - Bar Bombon was a short walk away. Happy to find a fun location to get vegan food beforehand. We started with a guacamole appetizer; my mom had the Grande Taco and I had the Quesadilla. Both of us fully enjoyed our meal.
