For transparency: I visited because the chef is the husband of a coworker and we had a team dinner to celebrate and check it out!
That said the five star rating is super earned and actually really similar to the types of places I like to go for a nice dining event.
Bar Bonmot is delightful. It's got a warm, refined vibe, both special and inviting, which is a hard balance to nail.
The food is stellar! We had a shared tasting of the whole menu and there wasn't a single thing we didn't all love or at least like. Overall most dishes are a great size, artfully designed, and with punchy, interesting flavors that keep you scraping the last special sauces off the plates (handmade by my coworker and the chef!!)
My favorite dishes were: the sliced beef with house soy sauce, which had a really delicious little slaw over it as well. The pork belly lettuce wrap which had an amazing herbaceous punch as well. The uni over sweet potato puree (sooo creamy and the uni was sweet and fresh). ALL the desserts!
I don't drink much so went with the non alcoholic ginger mule. It was so good!! I had two!
Staff is very friendly and attentive! Thank you Steve and others (I didn't catch the other servers name). We did have to remind about a few drinks when things got busy and they may be just a bit fussy about wiping your table down between servings, but they were so engaged with us, friendly and funny, we had lots of laughs.
If my biggest issue was an overly clean table it's okay. 🥰
Price wise very fair. Towards the upper end as it's a fine dining location, more than a bar alone. I've paid double for similar experience driven dining events.
The place was very clean, well spaced, with all staff fully masked at all times, so felt very safe out with my team.
Thanks for the night out, Bar Bonmot! Will definitely come again, maybe for a date night with my partner next time.
