Steakhouse

West Hollywood

About the restaurant

Simply put, BOA is unlike any other steakhouse. We reinvented the traditional American steakhouse to fashion a distinctly unique dining experience. That experience is bold, modern and innovative. From the seductively stylish interior to the dry-aged prime steaks, BOA’s vibrant ambiance is as alluring as the cuisine itself.

It was a delicious meal with wonderful service, except for one minor matter (our tap water was not refilled at all during our meal). Yes, it is quite expensive but sometimes a good meal is worth the splurge. The bread was fantastic as was the olive oil accompanying it. The Prosecco was very good. Our appetizers were very special — I had the bone marrow and my husband had scallops — both were among many specials offered tonight. The tomato sauce on my pasta was among the best I have ever tasted — and I come from an Italian family and have traveled to Italy multiple times. The tartuffo affogato was so good I’m not sure I can ever order one anywhere else. Is $70 a lot of money for a piece of fish? Yes it is. I can’t mislead anyone on that but quality and selection come with a price tag. If you feel like it’s time for an excellent meal then by all means treat yourself to an evening there. Your wallet will be lighter but your stomach will thank you.
