Food is SO good! We had the lobster taco, the tuna tartar, lamb chops, strawberry salad and the filet. Everything was a home run, only complaint was that the portions are a little small (particularly the lobster tacos) but thats only because we wanted more of it, it was so good!!

I've been coming to BB&C for years. This is a SOLID choice every time. This is not a foodie restaurant with a Michelin star which other reviewers seem to want it to be... I've always found the plates to be solid and consistent. I get their awesome take on the American patty melt almost every time and I love it. The small plates are perfect bites. BB&C cocktails are well done without the mixology fuss. The thing people are forgetting to mention here is that the prices are very approachable considering the prime location in the West Village. The space is ridiculous COZY. Whether at the bar or in a large booth in back near the kitchen the staff is always attentive but not disruptive. They always remember me and my order even though I've been only a handful of times. If you're looking for real West Village—this place is great. It's not a destination spot and that's what makes it my destination often times when I wanna have some reasonably priced dinner and a cocktail after work and be able to hear my companion's conversation while still in a lively and vivid atmosphere.

I was a little hesitant about trying this place because from street level it looks like a tiny walk down hole in the wall...but don’t be fooled this place has plenty of space! From the moment you walk in you’re surrounded by a beautifully designed ambient atmosphere with a grade A bar! The bartender Jenn was very outgoing and gave me the run down on everything available. Had the $1 oysters, $5 draft, and the Brussel sprouts...can’t wait to come back again and try the full menu.
