Boketto

An amazing birthday meal for @nfl1981 at the newly opened @bokettosteakhouse in St. Louis Park!A great atmosphere with an amazing staff who really brought our meal to the next level.From the Japanese Milk Bread, to the Bluefin Tuna Tartare, some great Sea Bass and Australian Jade Wagyu entrees, this was a culinary experience!We will definitely be back for more!

Decided to celebrate our birthdays dinner here. The atmosphere is dim light which would be perfect for a date night. We were caught by surprise with the beautiful table decor or rose pedals. A little more romantic for 2 girl friends lol but we'll take it. Not pictured: they offered us a small glass of complimentary mocktail. Forgot what it was but it was a little sour but pretty tasty. Started off with some grilled oysters: it was tasty . Nice to have a few spots that offer both raw and grilled. Truffle fries: it was recommended by Yelp and also our server. This was a big portion and the paired aioli dip was perfect. I would recommend a good side to share. Brussels sprouts: honey glazed with bacon, almonds, fig, orange. The bacon makes it a little greasier than I would like it but they mixed was good. I do wish it was less oily. Australian Jade Wagyu Ribeye: Japanese A5 was a little expensive this time so we opted for the Austrian Wagyu. The first bit literally melt in my mouth as the Japanese A5. Compared to Japanese, maybe 2-3 seconds slower? lol. But it was very good. We had leftovers and even with a little microwave the next day, it was still delicious and also melts in your mouth. So good! Definitely worth the price and must get. Desserts: since it was our birthday celebrations, we were offered complimentary desserts. It was brownie with ice cream. Also good. The brownie was not too sweet and perfect with the ice cream. It also came out with these sparklers which made it very fancy :). Our server was great. Will definitely return and try the A5 one day :)

Went to Boketto for date night and it didn't disappoint. It's in West end and they have heated underground parking. Walked in and it was pretty busy, good thing I made reservations. Dimly lit which is my vibe and they had a DJ which was pretty cool for a restaurant that definitely feels upscale. It is technically a steakhouse and I'm not big on steak so I didn't know how much I'd like it food wise. I ordered calamari to start and it was amazing. Also ordered some sushi rolls which I enjoyed and some cocktails. If you like some theatrics with your dining experience, they had cocktails they do table side and torched our sushi at the table. Very friendly staff, prompt service and they knew a lot about the menu and have me great advice on what to try. They also had a space for you to take photos by the entrance. Great experience overall!

I went into this with the bar set not super high, I heard the owner is from a restaurant I'm not the biggest fan of and worried this would be just a overpriced version but I was completely WRONG to assume that. It was such an amazing experience!! First off the staff were so kind and attentive, when we entered in and said our reservation they said happy birthday right away. When we sat down our waitress met us there right when we sat down and was very attentive. The Atmospher was a really chill, trendy vibe that they hit the mark very well! I loved the music/DJ. It did not feel too loud or overwhelming. It's more beats than singing so you can still hear people talking. The only two things that I would say weren't my favorite was it was very drafty (it got very cold and we were sat decently far away from the front door). The other thing was they had some Christmas decorations that looked very out of place with how elegant all the other decor was (but that's just a person preference). Now to the food! Everything was so tasteful! The drinks were very well made. We got the sticky ribs with milk bread on the side and highly recommend! We did get the waygu nigiri and the meat was amazing but there was too much of the bread and it just dried your mouth out. I would say try something else over this but again it was good but I didn't think it was the best thing we tried there. I got the truffle spaghetti and it was amazing! Highly recommend! I felt like all the portions were really good sizes. I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Okay here's the tea. Do not come here for a great culinary experience. Like yes everything is good. But like I could live without it. But the service here is amazing. We met Josh at the bar and Cameron were our servers. I loved them both. So nice and so great!The cocktail experience is so worth it. We got both but I think the old fashioned has more of a vibe. I loved the milk bread okay so good. To be honest I really enjoyed the drinks here more thank anything

Been meaning to try this place out since it opened and was seeing great reviews and videos about this place. Got a reservation for a Monday night and visited with the family.Let me just start off by saying that it didn't disappoint.Located in the West End where Lucky Cricket used to be, there is parking garage nearby and easy to get to, The ambiance and decor is modern chi with even a place to take pictures with the name of the restaurant in the background. We got seated and ordered were greeted by our server. We were giving a little aperitif (non-alcoholic) to start off our experience. We decided to start with the table side drinks and some appetizers. We ordered the lychee martini and they bring it over and make it table side which was cool. The martini itself was ok. I have had better lychee martinis but the experince was cool. We got some Japanese milk bread, Hamachi crudo and the Boketto roll with the goddess salad to start with. The Boketto roll is flamed table side. The appetizers were really good with the Japanese milk bread being the standout. The crudo and the salad were also good, but I have had better in the cities.For the mains, we got some Wagyu filet and Wagyu ribeye (Japanese A5 with some yakinoki), the lamb chops, lobster pappardelle and sides of lobster mac and cheese and truffle fries. We also ordered the old fashioned which again are made table side. The Wagyu was excellent and the lobster dishes were great. The lamb chops and fries were ok. I wouldn't do those again. Definitely try the lobster dishes and their wagyu.For dessert we got their massive platter with different desserts and the creme brulee. The cheesecake and carrot cake were the standout there. For a meal that cost 4 figures for a family of 6, it wasn't a cheap dinner but it was definitely enjoyable. Good place for a special occasion with a group of friends. I would go here again.

Wanted to try this place since I've been hearing so much about it. I didn't have a reservation so, I sat by the bar area. When I first walked in, I noticed the area was really big. There was a lot of seating and the ambiance was dark. I will definitely book a reservation. I decided to come here last minute on a weekend during dinner so, I got seated at the bar area. There is seating right next to the bar, or a few small tables towards the side. I sat at the side table and was a bit confused as it took a while for someone to come over. It seemed like all the bartenders shared a table so different staff kept asking the same questions afterwards... I think that's something they should fix..Other than that, for a starter I got the grilled oysters. Tastes good but the portion is disappointingly small. Wish they gave more for the price. I tried the lobster lasagna, which had brown butter, calabrian chili, and basil. It was really good! There is a hint of spice and the way it came out looked unique. Lastly, I ended up ordering the rib eye steak. I feel like you can't go wrong with a steak but it was nothing special to me.I think it's worth a try but not sure if I would return. The price is relatively expensive, but the staff is very friendly and I think this is a great place to have a drink with friends.

Shout out west end adding a new vibe!! Like other reviewers stated this feels this place was transplanted from Scottsdale or Miami. It's def filling in a huge void in MN restaurant scene. We stopped in on Tuesday to celebrate my husband's birthday it wasn't busy and they placed us at a booth meant for 8 ppl but it was just us two that we got a good kick out of. Matt was our server and did an amazing job- wasn't overbearing and provided quality recommendations.The little berry mule was least favorite thing. It was watery. Lacked ginger beer and alcohol 2/5. Everything else was delicious. Brussel sprouts my husband said were the best he's ever had ever 5/5. Truffle spaghetti wasn't overpowering with truffle great balance just a little too oily for my liking 4/5. Sashimi roll 5/5 no notes. And steak was good 4/5. Def a place for birthday celebrations. Would like to stop by on the weekend when it's more livelier to see the vibe

This place opened not that long ago and , Boketto in Saint Louis Park is the place to be. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a sleek, minimalist ambiance that immediately sets a relaxing tone. The sushi is impeccably fresh, and the presentation is almost too beautiful to eat (but of course, you'll want to). What really sets Boketto apart, though, is the attention to detail in both the food and service. The waitstaff is friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and ensuring your experience is seamless from start to finish. Recommend coming here.

First of all WOW, what a gorgeous place. The ambiance and vibe is very upscale and relaxing. The decor is top notch and theyve obviously spent alot of money on this restaurant/lounge. I never like to go to a restaurant when it first opens but had a buddy's birthday dinner there and im so glad we went there. You get greeted by the host who was super nice, and the service was just top notch. Empty plates dont stay on ur table long and neither do empty glasses. My pop drink was always full and the server was very knowledgeable and helpful when asked what she recommends. The food was top notch. I wouldnt change a thing. Will 100% be back!! Overall Food & Vibe 9.3/10
