I grew up right over the bridge. Born and raised. That said, my parents/family NEVER came here. I never understood why? So, Saturday was my day. We walked into an almost empty restaurant. Empty at 7pm. And with experiences like I have I can see why. First let’s start. Looking at their very, very limited option. I landed on the crab cakes. Problem was, it was not fresh crab. It’s canned but she did say it was the finest canned meat but for almost $20, you’d expect a step up from canned cat food. So we decided to get the fresh Ceasars salad with a cup of French onion. First came my French onion. Think of a cup with very little broth at the bottom, tons of stole bread a top and then covered in cheese. The bread being stale in the soup tasted just that’s stale. Onto my Caesar. I had a few bites but the amount of dressing on my salad was crazy. It was swimming. I ate maybe 3/4 bites and I just couldn’t eat it. I sent it back. The Ceasars was overpowering. (I don’t eat anchovies but ate them as I didn’t know. My problem. Not theirs) that said.. THE OWNER walked over to talk about our salad. I took the lead. He asked what was wrong. I said sir there was just too much dressing, this man Bud sat at my table and continued to argue that this is how he makes his salad for years. Back and forth. I told him it was too much for me and this man took absolute offense to such a comment. I was very nice. Too nice for the way this man was talking to me. Finally after 5 minutes, the guy I was with said ok this conversation is done. The owner Bud, has lost his mind. My jaw was on the floor the whole time. In a restaurant people will have different tastes. I’ll attach pictures. But, they charged us $24.96 for 2 dinner salad plates. We couldn’t eat the salad and the soup was stale. We are taking the charge to our credit card company. NOW I can see why my parents never came here. If you were raised in RO you know Pesquales/Peabody was our go-to. For the money you spend here, you could go down to Telway and eat better for cheaper. But if you don’t like something, don’t send it back!!

Dined here on 3/8/24 had an old school lounge vibe. I loved the atmosphere, live lounge singer, table side Ceaser Salad and classic entrees to chose from. I had the Saganaki and Scallops. The foods was amazing from the bread basket to the main course. Our server was very pleasent and pretty much on top of it. Every table had guests and they were so busy. I would recommend this establishment for your dining pleasure.

Incredible! Old school lounge like feel with fantastic food. Classic dishes like escargot, shrimp scampi, table side Caesar salad, steak Diane, and more. All of the food is prepared incredibly well. Service is top tier and attentive. Such a special spot.

Great food. Wonderful ambience. The owner works there making good infront of you all night. He is 82. Very remarkable man. The singer named Dana was the best. We had a marvelous time at Boodles. We will definitely be back again.
