5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Been here once and now that I think about it, I'm not sure I haven't been back. Anywho. The food is GREAT! Went with a group of four and we all had different things; which we all loved. The lobster is fantastic. The steak was good, but I shouldn't really comment since I'm not a fan of steak (why go to a steakhouse then, huh? lol) After dinner we crossed over to the lounge/bar area. It wasn't too crowded, but I forget what day of the week it was. Drinks were good, service was excelent. We had a very friendly waiter, very talkative. I should've been there again already!

Pros: Food. Service. Drinks. Celebreties seem to frequent the place. Ran into Fabulous on my way to thre restroom :) lol.

Cons: It can be a bit pricey, but... you gotta pay up if you want real quality.

My boyfriend made reservations at Boa Steakhouse for my birthday. The restaurant was pretty empty at 3pm on a Saturday, which gave our party of six, a sense of privacy. The decor was nice consisting of brown pillowy walls, twig room dividers and interesting lights. Boa Steakhouse was quite impressive with attentive service, delicious dishes along with notable cocktails including the Oaxacan martini, Mc Strawberry Shortcake and the Boa Infusion. We opted for the Seafood Appetizer Platter consisting of crab legs, half a lobster, oysters and more. The platter was enough for four people. I ordered the 40-day old aged NY strip steak, which was to die for. My brothers ordered Porterhouse steaks, which were huge! Overall, our experience at Boa was great and our waiter even served us cheese fries on the house =) I'm definitely going there again sometime soon.

Pros: Attentive service, steaks to die for and de-lish martinis

Cons: Little nat flying around our table

My boyfriend loves steak, so i brought him over to BOA @ west hollywood on his birthday. The service was great, and the food was excellent. The only things I don't like were the soup (it's something with tomato, coconut, and lobster... not so good) and the waitress (she was studying her midterm or final at the bar, which kinda drive me crazy). I think this place is highly recommended.

Pros: food, ambiance, service

Cons: Soup

BOA has always been on the top of my list. This last visit cemented it there. We had the best service I have ever experienced. Our waiter was absolutely fantastic and that made an unbelievable meal even better.

Boa has the best steak....so far it's #1 steak house on my list. I tried the 6 OZ. Wagyu NY strip, is so tender that the meat melts in my mouth. For those who never tried Wagyu beef before, this is the place to have your 1st Wagyu beef. Outside dining area is perfect for a date, the service is excellent however inside dining area is a little bit too loud. If you are a steak lover, you should definitely try their Wagyu steak

Pros: Excellent food

Cons: Too loud at the inside dining area

I love steak, I would classify myself as an expert, and the bone in filet I had at Boa was the best steak I have ever had. Absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Wait staff was very polite and attentive, as well as knowlegable. I am already planning what I'm going to try next when I go back.

BOA is a fantastic place to eat. Either the Caesar Salad or Wedge to start, and the Petit Fillet with the peppercorn rub is always perfect. Delectable sidedishes include the best mac & cheese in town (next to "Republic") and an outstanding horseraddish & potato. The service is brilliant and the staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The only drawback is an excessively expensive winelist. But you only live once, so eat, drink & enjoy!

Pros: You'll crave their steaks

Cons: You'll crave their steaks - also, the winelist is good, but expensive

My boyfriend and I decided to check out Boa's since we've heard so much this place and figured it can't be too bad if there's three locations and has high ratings at every location. My first impression of this trendy hollywood place was pleasant as expected with the modern decor and somewhat loud but nice ambient music. Polite servers. We started with the nachos which left a funky aftertaste and the caesar salad. The Caesar salad was good and made fresh by our table, however nothing really that spectacular.... I ordered the special halibut and it was cooked perfectly, however the sauce was a bit bland. My bf ordered the aged new york steak and that was muy yummy. Mac n cheese was salty and disappointing needless to say. Overall, I'd say it's a place to go for the experience, but I wouldn't go back there again.

You're a world-class herbivore at a steakhouse? Order the one vegetarian entree: tasty eggplant Parmesan. Ask nicely and they'll put together a plate of fantastic sides.
