The ambiance and waitstaff was really nice. The food was tasty, but cold by the time it arrived at our table. We also thought that it was strange that all of us were required to do the family sized portioning ($30 for Meat, $26 for veg) or none of us could. This ended up the cheaper option, but we ended up wasting quite a lot of food directly because we were not able to customize orders. We also could have gone the more customizable, but expensive, option of small plates. The waitstaff seemed to be especially overwhelmed.Definitely worth a visit. Seem to be very resolvable and minor adjustments in order to make this a 5 star experience.

Love the ambience of this restaurant and bar! Its so nice to hangout with a team or friends. They had live music for awhile! That was good! Oh YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TRY THEIR SHORT BREAD COOKIES! They are amazing!!!

Great experience - very friendly staff, easy to work with. Delicious food and drinks. Very cool space. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Love, love love. The atmosphere, great bartenders, the live music...there is just so much to like here and it has become one of my favorites. Looking forward to hopefully getting back soon.

We had a great experience here at Boleo! The place was hoppin for a Thursday night and the DJ was a really nice touch! It wasnt too loud either, so we could actually hear everyone talking! The food was really great as well and well definitely be back here!

We went here for a dinner. One of the servers was rude. It closes a bit early and it’s not really a rooftop restaurant. The food was not that good for the price, but the drinks were okay. I would not go to Boleo again. (Also they require masks while you have already begun you’re meal)

Fun space and ambience. The dishes were tasty and good for sharing but honestly nothing memorable. Service was pretty poor - they appeared to have been very understaffed for the holiday.

Not really a rooftop. Decent food and drinks.

Delicious food and drinks. Great ambiance overall. In terms of views and atmosphere, varies by where you get seated. Would recommend going as a party of 4-6 and getting reservations in the center area on the sofa!

Very good food in the loop! Their house old fashion with rye whiskey was perfect. Definitely recommend the Tocino (pork belly), beef empanadas and the yucca fries. Service was great. When food came out, it was explained so you knew exactly what you were about to eat. I will be coming back!

It was a great dining rooftop experience great food a happy and positive dining experience.

Nice place, good ambiance but the service was disappointing. Our waitress didn’t show up to our table unless called over most of the time, was not knowledgeable about the menu items, was very slow bringing drinks, didn’t bring an order I placed but by then i was fed up so I didn’t even mention it and I asked for my check. It took 40 min from the time I asked for the check to the time I paid it. Also, very small portions and very pricey. I left hungry. Will not return

Not a fan of the food menu but nice ambiance and vibe.

Under staffed and over paranoid with covid made me feel uncomfortable. Food not the best for the prices and bar not equipped with enough bartenders to handle the crowd at hand

The environment was great and the food was delicious, the staff was friendly and helpful

Awesome ambiance, great happy hour specials that go just long enough for the post-work fun but not next day trouble! Food was tasty and service was quick!

I’ve been here a few times, always trying to give it a chance. It’s. Beautiful place, which earns the two stars. However, they are selective with who they treat with outstanding service. The hostess wasn’t very helpful with getting our group seating. I was aware we did not have reservations but once I relayed that she brushed me off though I was willing to wait. She told me there should be more than enough room at the bar. I understand not having a table at the moment but the dismissal was off putting.The second offense was the dismissal by a manager. I was charged for a bottle when I ordered one drink, mistakes happen, but the manger offered no apologies or complimentary drink. He was again dismissive when I attempted to ask about my card as I was waiting around without it. Overall, managements have attitudes. Pass.

Tapas style dishes!!! We went there on a Friday for happy hour and tried all 4 of their skillets - chicken, steak, shrimp and pork belly....all absolutely delicious with their specific sauces!! Drinks also delicious including the chilcanos - banana/coconut and the coconut negrini!! Will certainly return...great service too :D

Excellent tapas, Peruvian style. Good vibe. Decent amount of space. Prices reasonable.

The Food Was Amazing, Quick. The Customer Service Was Amazing As Well. Not quite my idea of rooftop but vibe and venue were amazing

Very bad experience at Boleo. The waiter forgot mixed up our drink orders and took a very long time in getting them to us. Then some of the food we ordered was burnt.Finally, I had chosen Boleo to celebrate my birthday with a big group of friends and after they made me go through a hassle of a reservation process and I specified the occasion was my birthday, they didnt bother to even bring a small dessert.

We were not fans of the food, but we loved the drinks and the atmosphere

The atmosphere is great. Bar is actually really well managed. And the food is amazingly good but very small portions but well worth it.

Good happy hour, although the cocktails dont taste as fancy as they sound. A reasonable Loop option with a neat atmosphere.

Nice place to spend the evening. Good selection of drinks and tasty food.Add friendly servers to this mix and you got a receipe for an enjoyable time.

I went here for a friends birthday outing, and was very happy with the drinks and food. Our server (I forgot his name sadly) was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had several small plates, punch bowls and individual cocktails, and everything we tried was phenomenal. The space itself was also very nice. I hope to come back here again soon - hopefully on a nice day when their retractable ceiling is opened!

Interesting set of food, Perú and Argentina together in one place. The choripan was not the original. But the rice was amazing. Cocktails were so so, the mix is intriguing but they need to still working in the right flavor. Empanadas were so so. Music was upbeat but they should have more graphics. Service was attentive. The distribution of the place was rare and i think they could have taken more advantage of being in the top floor.

This place simply knows how to please their customers. Always with a friendly attitude.

Great place. Rally good cocktails

Great views and atmosphere. The bartenders are fun and the vibe is overall very cool.

Went here with a large group for drinks only. I didnt stay for long, but the bar staff seemed friendly and knowledgeable. The space is open, spacious and comfortable. I visited in February, but I want to come back in the summer when they have the roof open... I imagine its lovely.

Love coming here for happy hour. Nice place with good happy hour deals.

We were here and had a really good time, the waitress charged us for one more drink which we didn’t do and she was very rude, ignoring and delaying our drinks. The place is nice but a good service is a must to have.

Great bar but they need to higher more wait staff. Bar was packed and only 2-3 waiters for the whole place.

My bf took me there for Valentines. We liked everything we were able to order. I was very limited due to the fact that I have a shellfish allergy, and everything is fried in the same oil. I just wish there was a separate fryer for non-shellfish items in their menu.

We had a reservation for 2 on a Wednesday at 6 pm in the late spring; The food was delicious, and during happy hour very affordable (some things $5!). It was very busy and loud, especially in the bar area where we got seated, but it was still a fun and beautiful atmosphere with the open roof.

Simply amazing. Great food, great live music, and a good view of the city. We went in the winter with the roof closed but will definitely be going back in the summer when its open to get the true event if the skyline.

Great ambience, food good, drink specialty. music club style on weekends.

Great service! Some of the best Peruvian food Ive had. Pisco Sour was 4/5 - everything else 5/5!

Nice space. Drinks were good. The appetizers were good. The only negative was we were seated on a couch that was in the sun which was right in our eyes and very hot until the sun set more. With the walls around the space, there was little breeze. We did ask to move and they told us we were in the only place for 5. While I completely understand that, I would recommend an umbrella, more greenery or an awning to help cut the sun a bit.

Gorgeous glass ceilings with an open setting and comfortable yet slightly chic couches make this a wonderful setting for grabbing a drink and catching up with friends. I saw many big work groups who seemed to head to Boleo as a large end-of-the week hurrah on a Friday afternoon. Live music came on later and was great. Their appetizers are very small for the price, but quality ingredients and tasty, no doubt. Youre paying more for the colorful atmosphere, which I think is entirely worth it!

Incredible food and, hands down, the best cocktail Ive ever had.

Company rented the place out for a party. It was like a high end bar / indoor patio hangout. Great service and food. Had a great time.

Great service. Gina was helpful and pleasant. The octopus and grape dish was fye. Plantain infused scotch mmmmm. All on a rooftop.

Great wine, food, and atmosphere. You should definitely give it a shot.

Our waiter was awesome! This was our first visit here and he described everything we asked about on the menu with precision. The food and drinks we ordered were spot on. Great place, will definitely come back!

Average food quality. Extremely small quantity. After a 40$ bill/person, I left the table hungry and disatisfied!

If you are hungrier than a lumberjack, then this is not the place for you. But, if youre looking for something different, interesting, and truly delicious, then give it a try.

Waitress was great but drinks were only good and the hostess was a little off-putting

Super trendy, super busy, super expensive bites and drinks! We got stuck paying $50 extra because they wouldnt divide up the check for our group and someone decided to be a jerk. Next time I order my own stuff at the bar...IF I ever go back! Grrr...

Fantastic mixed drinks and a a laid back, come as you are vibe. They had a DJ for Friday night happy hour that was pretty good. I had the N.P.D. drink. I would recommend if you like tequila, fresh juice and a little sweetness (fresh watermelen).

Great customer service. We got there late for our reservation but still got great service and food was also delicious. Especially the anticucho! We would definitely come again!

Great happy hour deals. The skewers are all excellent and at 5 bucks are a great deal

Tasty small plates, but not any gluten free options or opportunity to order the food in a way that is prepared differently than the menu lists (i.e. just ordering fries to avoid the gluten or dairy on them)

I came here with a group of friends for drinks as the last stop of my birthday celebration. It wasnt until we were steps away from the host stand where they had a little sign saying that the bar was closed off for a private event. We were all disappointed since it was a journey to get there from the previous bar we were at. A few of my friends made a quick stop at the bathroom while the rest of us were trying to figure out where to go next. The host started rudely demanding that we needed to leave. We walked to the elevator area, away from the host stand so that we wouldnt be in the way of the event, which we werent in the first place since the event was inside the bar. He followed us and continued raising his voice, telling us that the wedding party had rented out the entire floor. Okay... if you didnt want anyone to come up to the bar, you shouldve put a sign downstairs or in the elevator. We werent causing any problems, we were just waiting for our friends to come back from the bathroom. None of us wanted to deal with his craziness and it seemed like whatever we said just made him angrier. I felt like if there werent so many of us, he wouldve put hands on us and dragged us out of there. All of us felt incredibly disrespected by the hosts behavior and none of us even knew what had made him so angry. As we were leaving the lobby downstairs, we ran into a Boleo staff member who told us that many groups had gone up to the bar earlier that night, just like us, only to find out it was closed and that they shouldve put signs downstairs. He proceeded to tell us about how terrible the management is, which didnt surprise us considering what we had just experienced. From the glimpse that I got of the bar, it was a good idea to take our money elsewhere. There are much better rooftop bars in the area and ones that provide way more professional service. I definitely will not recommend this bar to anyone and I will not be coming back.

Food was good but the quantity was super tiny. The service was 3/5.

Nice upscale bar to grab a drink. Bartenders were nice and helpful.

Not only was our meal outstanding (and it was) but we were genuinely impressed with the staff. From the host to our waitress to the fact that two of our dishes were delivered by the chef himself, we felt well looked after. Every dish was packed with flavor and our cocktails were noteworthy enough that wed return just for a drink. The place wasnt packed when we visited and so we found the ambience really pleasant and not too noisy - a great place for a date night. Well definitely be back.

The food and drinks are really good. The service are nice. Its a nice place to spend the time with friends but its very noisy, so you might find yourself raising your voice.

Amazing food! And amazing Staff! Chef Cori was amazing and even came to our table to talk with us! Great hosting!

My new favorite go - to restaurant!! Loved the food, loved the atmosphere. Its the perfect rooftop because you get the sun, but never get the rain!! :)

The food is unbelievably good and the service is absolutely top notch! Came here for my birthday, the hostess team was very accommodating, the service was knowleable and friendly, the food arrived promptly and packed a punch of different flavors, the manager came and talked to us. We were just blown away with them!!

Went for Happy Hour. Appetizers were all very flavorful except the shrimp appetizer was more sushi-style, thus a bit undercooked. The drinks are fabulous! Must order the Disco Punch!

Our visit was great! The food was delicious, our server was nice and attentive, the drinks were strong, and the setup is nice wether it’s for a romantic date or a quick bite with friends. Would recommend, however it would be nice if the serving on the tapas was a little more for the money but then again they are tapas so..! Haha would come here again and recommend.

Had a Great date there!

Great location in the loops financial district. The interior is refreshing. The service solid. Good spot for corporate mixers and a quick happy hour with friends after work.

Dishes were fairly small and the octopus tasted fishy. Pluses were the skewers were on happy hour from 4 to 7 (we went on a friday) and the chicken one was pretty good. The hamachi dish was decent too. Wife said that the empanadas were too over fried. I would give the restaurant another chance, but she was in the 2 star category.

This is the type of place you go to if you like great drinks and food with some authentic passion. Sam the bartender is great, and cares about his craft. He can navigate you through Pisco and Fernet. If that doesnt inspire you, theres still mainstays to enjoy. If youre looking to interact and enjoy a genre of cuisine, they are giving it a serious go!

Great atmosphere and location

Sam is great. Had a blast. Need to have the band playing more. DJ played 80s retro

This is a happening spot at night. As the evening progresses, the energy grows as the crowd grows. My wife and I got here around 9 pm and it was an ideal place for winding down the evening over a cocktail. We did not have any food but they have a great menu.

Been coming here for almost 10 years. Unique atmosphere, reasonable prices, filling and tasty Middle Eastern food

Enjoyed the happy hours specials for food and drinks.

Nice top floor lounge with retractable roof.

Class and ambiance. Come in the summer while the rooftop is open.

Cool joint but the food is all presentation and no satisfaction. Stick to the drinks. They have those mastered.

Was expecting a lot more lively and hip place. Very dead on a Saturday night and views werent as good as advertised. Drinks were decent

Nice digs. Kinda pricey happy hour.

This place goes above and beyond to make your experience special. Bright, fun open space when the sun is out, and very very fun when it gets dark. Music is great, drinks are amazing, food is on point. Best pisco sour I’ve had outside of Peru

Excellent service. Love the decor and ambiance. Super tasty food however their plates are a bit too small. Great cocktails too!!

Beautiful, open air space.

Kesley(?) Was amazingggg! Definitely going back just to see her. Happy hour food/drinks were pretty great, too.

People and place will not disappoint !

We were having a 40th birthday party here - absolutely beautiful location with kick ar$e rooftop deck. Food was very good. But service was slow on drinks and not contiguous to what was previously discussed.

Roof top, covered, good for team gatherings

Great atmosphere and great food. Fine dining at its best.

Great light cool space

I went here for drinks and had a great time. The design of the place is really cool. The drinks were really good and at a decent price considering the area. I did not try the food although it looked really tasty.

Low lit, energetic - yet relaxed atmosphere with an exceptional staff. Food was yummy and our server Madeline was knowledgeable and sweet. She made our experience pleasurable!

Excellent small plates and lovely cocktails in a beautiful space

Definitely a favorite spot of mine. Get there before it gets too busy or youll be waiting for seats. Amazing ambiance!

Amazing food and service

The food here was delicious. Empanadas and yuquitas were both amazing. The manager, Jake, was also excellent to us and worked around our odd drink requests. I will certainly put this place on my list for my next trip to Chicago!

For a South American place, it doesnt have a Latin vibe at all. Came here with my Colombian mother, who was not impressed. Very stiff environment, service took a while. Its beautiful and very classy, just not what I thought was advertised. They played house music, there was a lot of empty, sterile space and just not that comfortable.

Best Peruvian tapas in Chicago with a cool rooftop vibe.

Very nice drinks, great atmosphere and good late night food.

Nice place. I wouldnt call it a rooftop bar though. More like an open air bar

Great tasty and surprising cocktails, good vibe

Always love coming in to this bar. The food is great, I love the atmosphere, and the staff are always great and courteous!

Nice location, a bit too loud for a group.
