What Randal Mann dislikes about Bossanova:
My friend ordered the filet mignon, but it was the worst steak. It had no taste. My salad had beets and they were covered in a strange powdery ginger. It was barely edible. Hopefully, this was just a one-off bad experience. The waitress, however, was great. Thank you. View all feedback.

Used to LOVE this place! I started making mussels at home like they did so tonight went to have the real thing it had been years since we had been in, the mussels were soooo bad, I could’ve cried. There was nearly an inch of oil on top and after much swishing got some seasoned broth, wasn’t great, the bread was also saturated with oil. This sadly was not the worst part in the mussels were at least 4 fully closed mussels (meaning dead) 3 4 broken mussels (meaning dead before cooked) all mussels should be alive and then sautéed or else you’ll get seriously sick. You tap the shell and make sure it closes quickly then it’s alive and fresh to cook. If not who knows how long it’s been dead in shell. Other entrees were ok, not like we remembered. The server was pleasant but did not think she would understand about the bad mussels being served. Please do not charge high end prices and have fry cooks in the kitchen.
