Everything is wrongo at Bongo

by liljers

Do not come here. Period. If you want a waitress that will ask you your drink order, not write it down, come back, ask again, disappear for 20 minutes, come back sans drink...then ask AGAIN what you ordered, then by all means you will LOVE this place!! Not only did she do that with our drink orders (there were 5 of us total & 1 other party in the room)- but she did it with our food as well. After complaining, the waitress literally screamed at my friend while we were trying to pay & stormed off like an 8 year old so we had to then get the manager. Although he agreed that she was beyond painful & completely understood our disgust, he wasn't helpful at all. We all work in events/pr/marketing & I can honestly say that I was shocked that the manager didn't comp so much as a round of drinks. I will never be back & I have told clients & friends not to bother. I am sure this place will last about as long as an unlocked Bentley in the South Bronx. If you want a good lurbster roll, hit up the Chelsea Market. BOOM.

• Pros: leaving

Don't Bother Unless You Want Horrible Service/ Negative Energy

by RNYC08

Horrible Service

Horrible Staff- They're downright rude. I experienced a negative vibe the moment I walked in. The staff makes you feel as if you've walked into their living room without an invite. A passive agressive vibe from a place that truly overstates it's importance.

Overpriced. Steer clear.

• Pros: None. Nothing Postive To Say. The twenty minutes I spent their were unpleasant
• Cons: Horrible Service.

Winning Conbinationof food, drinks and decor

by latenightgal

Bongo always is a winning combination of lobster rolls, oysters and beautiful cocktails. It's a great late night place for a bite to eat. But get there early becuase sometimes the Lobster Rolls are 86'ed. You don't want to miss out on that. The oyters are fresh and there always a great selection. I'm into champage and the are always a selection to choose from by the glass. The oyster shooter is fab. Most importantly it's cool and the modern decor is authentic!!!

• Pros: Adult,Great Music, Wonderful Food, Mid-Century Decor
• Cons: None
