    Took my son there last night for his birthday and I must say the three people working last night as the host were awesome. The manager too! We were a large party of 15 and at first we were going to be separate tables, but at the end, we’re all able to sit at tables across from each other. Our shelf was great and the chef that our kids had was amazing. We had Andre as our chef. He was great ! The three hosts and the front I know there was a young girl and two gentlemen. I only got one of the guys names and his name was Andres. I really felt like they were trying to help us and I truly appreciate that! The girl was very sweet and she was happy to see my family and I were able to all sit together. The staff coming out to sing to my son was in all honesty the best. My son had a great time! The manager on duty was direct and up front about wait times and what not and even tho people may take that as being rude, i completely feel the opposite. I appreciate her willingness to accommodate my requests !! Seriously! I must’ve bothered her like 5x but she was always willing to listen and help. Thank you host and manager working 1/3/24 @ 6:30 pm

    Boa does it again! Had an amazing time celebrating my friend’s birthday! Rocco made sure that we had everything we needed and our servers were very attentive! We had the deviled eggs with caviar to start, the bone marrow appetizer and the table side Caesar before the main course. The main courses included a New York strip, F1 Filet Mignon Wagyu, tomahawk steak, Center cut filet Mingon, and a rib eye. All were delectable and perfectly cooked. For the sides we had Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese, and the truffle fries. Food 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Service 10/10 We will be back again!
