You'll be impressed by the moment you walk in through its hidden and steam-punkish door. The decor as mentioned by many reviewers are laden with modern art pieces that are beautiful to look at. The staff are equally modern and trendy with their thick round glasses and vintage vests.
The restaurant was quite empty when we first arrived at around 7:30. But was completely packed by the time we left.
The wine menu lists french wines exclusively. The sommelier explained that they were more of a champagne house to which we obliged and ordered a bottle from a boutique winery. The sommelier was very interesting and informative, one of the best I've encountered.
Interestingly, they serve champagne at Bibo with a silver goblet. The sommelier explained that this was how champagne is traditionally served. While it is certainly fun and unconventional, I feel the silver adds a metallic taste that detracts from the champagne.
We ordered most of the items off the tasting portions menu so that we could taste as many items as possible. Honestly, none of the food left a memorable impression with me. It wasn't bad, it just didn't wow me. Especially, when considering the prices here, I certainly expected more.
Overall, I'd give Bibo 7.5/10. Most of the points coming from decor, service and ambience. It certainly is a wonderful place to bring a date to, as you will have a good time just enjoying the atmosphere. Recommended: Yes
Other Info. :
I saw that their roast chicken costs $1400 as a main. Although it says for 3-4 persons, I'm still kind of appalled. I can't remember if its Bresse chicken which would explain the price, but $1400 for a regular whole chicken is crazy!
