    An excellent Asian fusion restaurant, our favorite go-to for joyous reasons of the entire region. Everything is prepared to perfection, and the presentation is equally perfect. Our server was gracious, attentive without hovering, and did a wonderful job of enhancing our experience. We have dined here several times and have been impressed every single time.

    Celebrating a first year student with a visit from the parents calls for a special dining experience. Bombolo delivered and even exceeded expectations. The service was very informative and friendly. We enjoyed the small plates such as soup and oysters, as well as the pasta and the mushroom fricasee. We also enjoyed a seasonal four course offal meal which was absolutely stunning. From entrance to reluctant exit, we were blown away and have definitely discovered a new favorite restaurant.
