* Review: I normally avoid chain restaurants like the plague and with good cause (see my Pappasito’s review). But Boscos has SUCH an inviting patio, I go there to get a little sunshine with my mimosas when I get the chance. My favorite brunch? Nothing fancy - just the bagel with cream cheese, capers, red onions and smoked salmon. Add a few mimosas and you have one heck of a brunch. Mmmm-mmmm. The patio is also a fantastic location to see a concert at Riverfront park without having to dive in to the crowds (during Riverfest or otherwise). Tables can be reserved for these events, but only for a price. If you’re dining outside, keep in mind the breeze off the river gets pretty chilly when the sun moves off the patio (which is pretty early). Everything I’ve eaten at this chain has been pretty tasty, it just seems a little over-priced for what you get.

If you’re headed to a Travelers (baseball) game, Boscos is a short distance from the park on the Little Rock side of the river.
