On a lazy, late afternoon we popped in for drinks and appetizers.We were shocked that we somehow missed this restaurant. With an inviting interior that exposes the kitchen and an outdoor patio...it seemed promising. Service was attentive but we were also the only patrons. We liked the creative drink menu, but the actual drinks fell short. Drink menu was appealing to the eye yet the flavors simply didn't come together. Oysters were good and we also ordered dumplings. Alright happenstance stop but we were not wowed by the food or drinks. By the same token, we didn't order much so it is possible we missed the wow factor.

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.

Well there's no nice way to say this..
the service was bad and the food followed suit. Water glasses were left empty, the pasta was over salted (and I like salt!), and my poor salmon was definitely overcooked, and the portions for the appetizer in particular, oh so tiny and sad.
The menu drew us in because it looked ambitious and interesting, the experience was just one big fat disappointment. But we still had a great time and the decor was nice too, although it was noisy and lacking in intimacy. Just don't expect fine dining or service that shows care and professionalism. It's not available at Bolete. It's a restaurant that falls far short of what it aspires to be, and what it aspires to be is what made us go there in the first place.

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.

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.

Had a wonderful evening here last night. Was greeted cheerfully. Ordered the Mary Mary and a cucumber marg as a beverage. Very tasty!! As a starter, we got the salt and pepper squid, some PEI oysters and the albacore tuna crudo. The tuna melted in your mouth, the oysters were fresh and full of liquor, and the squid was super tender, you didn't even need a knife. As our mains, we ordered the aged PEI beef bavette and the feature, which was Ontario lamb with lentils. Absolutely delicious. Could not say one bad thing about either of them. The meats were cooked to perfection, and everything was seasoned beautifully. As for dessert, we ordered the gingerbread tart and the dark chocolate earl grey mousse. Wasn't what I was expecting, but definitely exceeded them. Thank you Christa for your great hospitality last night. It was fantastic. Will definitely recommend and be back. �

Went for New Years Eve. Had an amazing waitress and the food was outstanding! Seriously best food I've had in a long time and I'm a bit of a foodie. We had the venison over Spetzel and the tagliatelle in a woodland mushroom sauce. Freshest best pasta I've ever had in my life and I was in Italy this year.

Excellent food! Had the venison over blue benedictine spätzle with nutmeg, black truffle and kale. OUTSTANDING! Only issue was with atmosphere.. It was a little loud (quite at times), but it was New Years Eve. So take that with a grain of salt.

Simple decor, wonderful food. Exceptional duck dumplings that cry out for a soup or more bread to sop up the sauce. Excellent scallops perfectly seared. Attentive service. Will definitely go again.
