BOA Steakhouse

We love going to Boa for a date night/special occasion! When possible we try to sit with Taylor as he is phenomenal, truly one of the best servers we've ever had. We've been to Mastro's, Steak 48, etc. but Boa is just a better experience. The deviled eggs and the Caesar salad are musts to start. And if you aren't in the mood for steak, the spaghetti and wagyu meatballs is REALLY good! We've never had anything here that wasn't great. I wish they'd bring back the lobster tempura though!

We came in here to celebrate my birthday as a party of 11 on Saturday February 8th around 7PM.Ambience- Taken to the back room which felt like a semi private room was great and got seated immediately. The heater was on full blast so we had to request for it to be turned off which they granted so no issue. Sometimes was hard to see menu and food so can be a tad bit brighter but not a deal breaker. Overall, great ambience.Service- This is where the problems began. The restaurant was understandably busy on a weekend night but you would think they would allocate appropriate staff for a large party. Service was slow and only one person was tasked with handling our requests. He was clearly overwhelmed and that impacted our experience as well. Getting drink orders out and asking for check and boxes all took forever also. Underwhelming experience because we were there for almost 3 hours which should not be the case.Drinks- Excellent. No issues here and the drinks were well made and quite strong. Everyone enjoyed them.Food-Only reason we chose BOA was for the food and it disappointed us the most in this category. Food took a very long time to come out, and again we can look past this as they were busy. However, most of the steaks were overcooked and lacked flavor. Steaks ordered medium were made medium well / well done and the others came out almost rare. There was no consistency with preparation and for such an expensive meal, it is disappointing to receive steaks that lack in flavor and are not cooked to preference. "Table side" Caesar salad was done out of sight and in a rush. Taste was heavy on the anchovy / fishy side.Overall- Incredibly expensive meal that disappointed all 11 people that were present to celebrate a special night.Avoid this location on weekends especially if you have a large party.

First off, I wanted to give a shout-out to one of the, if not the best, host/servers I've ever had the pleasure to interact with (Charles).He was extremely knowledgeable about everything on the menu, answered all of our questions with precise details as well as offered his own opinion on certain dishes, demonstrating his knowledge about the menu. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the different wine pairings and what dish goes well with a certain type of alcohol.My date and I chose a variety of dishes as this was our first time here and because we were celebrating Valentine's day. Unfortunately, since it was the day after Valentine's day (Saturday), we were unable to try the Valentine's day course, however, in retrospect, I am glad we weren't limited to a set course and got to pick what we wanted to actually eat.Second, the decor and ambiance in this restaurant was excellent and exceeded my expectations. It was not loud, the decor was modern yet rustic, the classy blueish/gold lights were just bright enough to convey a romantic atmosphere while also not overly bright as to hurt the eyes. The entire staff looked well-dressed and the staff I did interact with were all professional with their responses and extremely friendly.Third, the presentation/taste of all the dishes we ordered were top-notch and out of all the steakhouses I've frequented, BOA is definitely my favorite without question. Gordon Ramsay steakhouse? No, thank you. I'd rather go to BOA again.We ordered the following:Starters:*Tableside House Caesar Salad*Freshly baked olive oil, sea salt, rosemary bread rollsSides:*Fully loaded Baked Potato (cheddar, chives, bacon, sour cream)*Lobster Mac & CheeseEntrees:*15 Day Dry Aged Bone-in Rib eye + seared w/ GARLIC HERB BUTTER (medium)*Prime New York Strip + seared w/ GARLIC HERB BUTTER + Black peppercorn crust (medium rare)The steaks were phenomenal, melt-in-your-mouth cuts, with the dry-aged having a delicious nutty flavor on top of the rich, marbled beef flavor.Dessert:House-made butterscotch caramel sauce bundle cake w/ Vanilla Ice Cream topping.The dessert was so unexpectedly good, we ordered an additional serving!All in all, everything was delicious; a true 10/10 experience from the hospitality, decor, waiter's menu/drink knowledge, and most importantly, the cuisine. I don't think I've ever given any restaurant a 10/10 but BOA managed to pull it off even though I consider myself to be a pretty tough grader relative to most other foodies.Bravo, BOA. Well done! The bill came out to a modest $350 total which is incredible since I could easily see this quality of cuisine to be double the price of what we paid.I will definitely be coming back and spreading the word to more people who haven't tried it yet. I've sent the pictures of the food to a few people already and everyone kept asking me where this was since I rarely sing the praises of any restaurant in general.Thanks once again for making this a memorable experience for me and my significant other!

Wow.... Everything was stunning! From the oysters ... bone marrow... Caesar salad prepared at table...cowboy steak... scallops..fries and especially the birthday dessert

Last week I went to a lecture dinner at BOA with colleagues/friends. We arrived early and we sat in the lounge area near the bar and had a couple cocktails. I ordered the La Quebrada, for which both the waiter and the bartender kept commenting that it's one of the best choices, and they were right it was amazing: Light and fruity and perfect. For dinner I chose the Sea Bass, and it was cooked to perfection. I definitely ate the whole thing and forgot to take a photo. 10/10!!!

Had a private event in a private room here. Appreciate them working with our corp budget and making the night great. Food was delicious, and management/service were fabulous . Very upscale feel and look. Guests all enjoyed the evening. My only area of feedback from my 17 guests was how slow the bartender was, as our corp rules required our guests to get any alcohol beverages separate from the room, at the bar. (Wish I could just take 1/2 star for that. ) Other than that, the venue is great. You will not be disappointed in the experience. Valet for $18 will make your life easier. Trust me.

I enjoyed this experience the food was top tier! The service superb, and ambiance perfectly set for a fine dining experience. Great music, beautiful views. My server Charles very knowledgeable! Helped navigate the menu and made some great suggestions on what we should try. He listened to what we wanted and DELIVERED This isn't going one a cheap experience. I decided I wanted to try a little bit of everything without breaking the bank. We started with an appetizer the Colossal Blue Crab cocktail 5/5 delicious the crab is served cold. You're giving two sauces a cocktail sauce and a tartar sauce both are exceptional delicious. The crab is nice and plump with a little sweet taste. I loved it. The French onion soup was rich, onions tender, lots of cheese (my only complaint) too much cheese. It was good probably wouldn't order it again. I decided to get the Petite Filet, this steak melted in my mouth I ordered mine medium well. It came out with a nice pink center this steak actually melts in your mouth. It was one of the best steaks if not the best I've had. I also tried the 21 day bone in Rib Eye, it was cooked well done (cringe) I tried to talk my guest out of the this lol she wasn't budging. Surprisingly well done wasn't too bad, the rib eye was still juicy not dry like most well done steaks. I enjoyed the asparagus and mashed potatoes, the macaroni just didn't do it for me. Desserts Toffee pudding so delicious I mean GOODT, I loved it nice and warm with a sauce to drizzle on top. I would definitely order this again. I enjoyed this more than the cheesecake. Alcohol 2 lemon drops. I'd usually get my lemon drops with Tito's, I usually don't like citrus infused vodkas or additives. I decided not to change anything. It was a good lemon drop. All in all I highly recommend! If you're looking for cheap this isn't the steak out house if you're looking for a tasty fresh steak accompanied by a great experience. Give it a try! LASTLYVALET park I made the mistake of parking on the street came out my car was towed smh. The most criminal thing I've ever seen. Like entrapment

The food was delicious and my steak was mouthwatering and full of flavor. The sides all were perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere was chic and sexy. The bartender, John gave us impeccable service and covered our every need. We celebrated two birthdays that evening. It was our first time dining at BOA Steakhouse and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. I can't wait to go back.

Incredible ambiance, best Caesar salad, decent steak. The bar and rooms are well dimmed filled with gorgeous furniture and ample space between tables. Staff was very friendly, and pretty attentive. It took awhile to wait to order and some tables around us felt like regulars because they received extra items and attention from staff. The Caesar salad is my partner's favorite in LA, so we had to come for his birthday! A Caesar salad station rolls in front of your table and the dressing and salad are freshly made right in front of you- so old school, gotta love the details. It was garlicky, creamy, salty and topped with the best croutons I've ever had. Lettuce was so crunchy and cut to decent bite sizes which was nice. 10 out of 10. My filet first arrived well done, so they rushed a medium rare order. Flavor was good and tender. My partner had the ribeye which was good, would have loved more salt and crispy texture. The birthday cheesecake came out with a large sparkler candle which was fun and it was light and creamy. Really good, not too sweet!Overall a gorgeous place with strong options - will try the seafood next time.

A very cool spot to come and impress out of towners! Definitely make a reservation ahead of time and they only have valet parking for $30 The restaurant has a great ambiance, very swanky kind of indoor outdoor vibe. We were sat and there was a breeze but they turned in the heater which was perfect. Our waiter was awesome and helpful plus brought out everything in a great order. The food was awesome! Highly recommend the steaks and Mac and cheese
