Modern and delicous. Interesting, eclectic menu and lots of good wines. Kind of expensive. Servers are sort of smug. Still, I liked it and would go back.

Wonderful Food, Great Private Event Space. We hosted a private dinner for 25 at Boka on a Thursday night. The staff was fantastic - everything was set up exactly as we had asked when we arrived and they were more than accommodating to all of our requests. We sat in their enclosed terrace area which was beautiful, charming and secluded. The food was amazing - each course was thoughtful, complex and delicious. Well worth the price.

Food, wine and staff - all great. Clean flavors, attentive staff and nice dining atmosphere. We went to Alinea the evening before, which we thought would be the culinary highlight of our trip....but it wasnt. Who knew that a trip next door to its neighbors at Boka would be. We werent sure whether we shoud be overjoyed or disappointed.

Either way we love it here!

SUPERIOR QUALITY FOOD & SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!. If you're a foody, you will appreciate the service and food at Boka. The menu seasonally changes, and is solid and pure. I would recommend Boka in a heart beat, and can't wait to try Perennial, their new restaurant. I eat primarily fish and seafood, never a issue finding something delicious to eat., the sides are amazing as well, don't miss them! My meat eating friends love the veal cheeks, and yes , even the sweetbreads went down very well. A must restaurant to go on a regular basis. Chef Giuseppe is on top of his game.

Buon appetite

Tricky restaurant. I recently dined at Boka only to be tricked into eating veal brains. My husband and I both ordered veal cheeks. When our server Alana described the dish she never said anything about veal brains. When we were served the plate we were given an item by item description and again nothing was said about veal brains. We both ate the small crispy item and then wondered what it was. When we questioned our server we were told that it was veal brains. Upon seeing the surprise on our faces we were told that if they had said what it was we wouldn't have eaten it. Then they laughed. We don't find it the least bit amusing. Such dishonesty shouldn't be tolerated. I wrote a letter to the owners and never even had the courtesy of a reply. I would never dine there again. Shameful.
