boscos squared

quick fact: did you know it's illegal to serve fish intentionally mislabeled? according to the fda, only 2% of all fish sold from commercial fisheries is tested for species authenticity. unfortunately, federal regulation is nearly impossible and "fish fraud" is committed every day by unscrupulous restaurant owners, fish markets, and commercial fisheries.

grouper, a popular fish with diners, has become scarce in the last 10 years and due to limited availability the price is generally $11 to $13 per pound (fillets) wholesale. that price passed on to consumers would be even higher.

i have a point.

the next time you dine at boscos squared, ask about the blackened "grouper" sandwich and watch your server nervously stumble through an explanation as to why boscos can't make and sell an honest product at honest prices. in fact, ask for manager. ask to see the box the fish was shipped in.

they actually serve asian swai fillets masquerading as grouper fillets.

you ready? asian swai fillets sell for approximately $1 to $1.50 per pound. they have a very similar texture to to catfish and a mild flavor, and if fried or blackened, it's nearly impossible to spot a fraudulent grouper fillet.

the blackened "grouper" sanwich is $10.93 with tax included...

rip. off.

i've given you the information. don't get duped. demand better.

not gluten free friendly. this is the absolute worst place to go if you're gluten free. avoid

worst service ever. bad pizza. bad martini. needless be said- will never go back.

overall good experience. nice only one visit for my bday. ordered steak and they were out of steak sauce but however the overall visit was good and i will return

best food ever!

food was ok. our service on sundsy was terrible. jannica served us and never even brought out our appetizer, didn't provide a single refill on our drinks, and when it was brought to her attention that she failed to bring out the app we ordered, she didn't even apologize. instead, she tried to blame the kitchen staff. i tried the artichoke prosciutto omelet. it was ok, but not amazing. my husband tried the oskar benedict, and said the crab meat was yummy, but the english muffins were tough. not a very good visit.

great patio for a great lunch.. i love their daily specials. and the servers are some of the best in the city.

... good food and good brunch. one thing i love is the buffalo chicken pizza. it tastes just like hot wings, but it's a pizza....

brunch at boscos. i was there with a party of 4 at 11.30 sunday and was first to get in. 30 minutes later the joint was packed. service was good and food great. draft was alittle warm but ok .music was just kicking up and wish we could of stayed.

cheeseburger pizza hits the spot every time! great patio atmosphere for brunch and mimosas. reservations recommended for sunday patio.

worst dining experience ever. food was horrible, waitress dumb and rude , we waited about 40 minutes to order, 1 hour for it to come out, numerous mistakes, the manager was rude. never going again. but i warn you, if you have the blonde waitress with bad teeth, don't expect service any time soon- sincerely dane selden

brilliant, well-presented food. loved the bread service - comes with infused olive oil for dipping

i had a seared tuna salad which was beautifully made; a bit too much wasabi, but the sesame ginger vinaigrette was fantastic.

creme brulee topping was slightly undercooked and too thin, so did not crack as it should and the grand marnier was only a very subtle undertone; more would have improved it. the custard, however, was very good!

as a first timer there, i certainly enjoyed the food. the service was awesome and very fast but didn't feel rushed. the atmosphere was quiet and not too small, and the space didn't feel confined either.

pollo diablo pizza is a must!!!

the wood-plank salmon is excellent.

in terms of apps, the wood fired shrimp, fried artichoke hearts (with spicy, not regular marinara), and fried green tomatoes should not be missed.

bosco's specials change every wednesday and last until the next tuesday or if supplies run out.

food was over priced and not that good. service was good. steak was tough. eggplant not that special. don't recommend. didn't have any of the crazy beer.
