Tips About This Business
The paella can take up to an hour to cook. If you know that's what you're getting, and don't want to wait, call ahead with your order.
The extensive wine list can be intimidating to novice wine drinkers. The waiters is happy to suggest wine pairings for each meal.
The paella is served in huge portions. Two people willing to share should order several appetizers and one order of paella--it's a frugal way to experience more of the menu.

A lot of people talk about the price of BSB as...

My companions thought the food was excellent and based on their experience, I'll give it a good rating. I do have to say, they had an...

I've been to BBBistro twice. Fell in love the first time, but was brutally disappointed the second.
First impression was great. Cozy and elegant atmosphere. Great waiter. The food fabulous. The duck was amazing and the lamb was by far the best i've had and many times over better than Turner's. Also, the paella was perfect. I went home and raved about it for months wanting to go back.
