text: I stopped in to Bossa Nova for a holiday party on a busy Friday night in December Although the restaurant side looked empty the bar was packed It seemed like people who were not a part of the party were still coming in A little odd seeing the party guests had a live band appetizers and were giving out prizes nWith the appetizer stations we were able to try many different appetizers from quesadillas to calamari to sushi and back to meatballs It seemed like Bossa Nova was trying to satisfy varying appetites by offering everything from Italian to Japanese Overall the food was average I was not overy excited about any of it I enjoyed the drinks much more especially the Spansh wines The service was great We had different bartenders ask us what we wanted while another was making our drinks Everytime I finished my last bite and was about to have an empty plate a waiter appeared out of nowhere to wisk away my dirty dish nHowever this is not a casual laid back every day type of bar I cannot put my finger on exactly what it is but the atmosphere definitely gave off the I am better than all of you type of vibe Maybe it was the fact that they charge for th coat check
