10/10, I love this restaurant so much, and this trip didn’t disappoint. It was my birthday, and the staff was so nice and kind, and the food was amazing as usual (highlights were the French onion soup, Manion style steak frites, and a caviar egg special dish). The whole evening was truly a special and memorable night.

Everything was exceptional except for the browned butter farfalle dish which tasted like burnt meat or the pan the butter was cooked on. Was unpleasant but the server took it off our bill which was nice of him.

Love Boka for a few reasons Food: the best duck in the city and no matter how often we get the duck it feels new and different. Excellent starters and small plates Wine and liquor: a great wine list that has some seriously great finds served with care and a great cocktail list to start or finish your night. Service: consistency is key, we enjoy coming back because there are so many familiar faces which really helps put you at ease with your dinner. The meal is timely and well attended. With a great support staff making sure no need is missed. I don't recall how many times we've been over the years but it always feels special and fresh and fun.
