My husband and I enjoyed lunch at Bolete, our first visit, and we were blown away! The space is modern and inviting with great artwork and an amazing bar space with a birds-eye-view on the kitchen...where the magic happens! We had the white bean burger with truffle fries (beyond words good) and homemade pasta with a fresh green salad. With wine in hand, we cheered each other as we indulged, enjoying the busy hustle of the downtown lunch hour outside the large windows facing St.Paul Street. This restaurant is a luxurious addition to our gentrifying downtown. What a gem!!
Great atmosphere and fantastic food. Our server, Scott, was awesome. We had oysters, duck wings (to die for), sweetbreads, and Thai fries. We will definitely be back.
I’ve been coming to Bolete for awhile and I can confidently say I’ve tried at least 75% of the menu at this point. I don’t think I’ve ever had a dish I didn’t like. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to the portion sizes and flavours. If you’re going for brunch, the Lobster Benny is my favourite. If you’re going for dinner, the crab cakes and lobster pasta are 10/10. It’s so great to have a restaurant in downtown SC that not only has great food but a really nice atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!
First time visiting and I was pleased with the experience. Service was very professional, polite and fast, very attentive without hovering.
My fellow diner had been there before and she recommended we share a particular item and then we each had an entree. Presentation was beautiful, dishware and silverware classy and clean. Always love a fabric napkin!!
Interior is very clean and modern, lovely decor.
Prices were good, considering the quality and presentation.
Thank you for the positive experience. My only suggestion would be to keep the music lighter and a bit quieter, some tracks were heavy and loud, didn't suit the environment nor the experience.
Congratulations on a beautiful and classy spot!
Just wonderful. We came for valentines day, and we will definitely be coming back. Staff was excellent, very caring and knowledgeable. Food was next level, each course was great but my favorite was the PEI oyster fritter. I will dream about it. Definitely give it a try, it is pricey so keep that in mind... But definitely worth it especially for an special treat.
If you appreciate a full dining experience with great food, service and ambience, then Bolete should be your first choice. You are welcomed like an old friend when you arrive and you can either sit inside and watch the culinary masters work or enjoy the summer weather on the patio. The lobster spaghetti is to die for, but then again, Sunday Brunch with the lobster benedict is too! Can't wait to make another reservation soon.
Outstanding food and service. I had the veal chop, and my partner had the stuffed chicken breast -- both were amazing. And our server Jeffrey was simply top notch. Highly recommended.
My fiancé and I came to Bolete on a trip to Niagara on the Lake and we could not have had a better time. The service was quick and extremely friendly, the food was amazing and high quality, and the atmosphere was very comfortable yet classy. We had the crab cakes and oysters to start and they were both very good. The duck confit was delicious and the lobster spaghetti was delicate and perfectly cooked. We unfortunately did not have time to stay for dessert but we will surely be back at some point to make that right.
