What People Are Saying About Boka

The Editor

Jennifer Olvera

In Short – Silky curtains, curvaceous and clean-lined seating and modular shelves twinkling with votives set a modern tone for the assertive fare from Milan-trained Giuseppe Tentori, a Charlie Trotter's alum focusing on progressive American dishes. Big eye tuna marries with grapefruit, wilted mizuna, pickled onions and capers; Muscovy duck breast cozies up to semolina gnocchi, annatto-infused carrots and a confit of elephant garlic with truffle mushrom jus. Raw oysters get updated with mango and horseradish.

Modern and delicous

by bonvivantsuisse

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

by farmerpeggy

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.

  • Pros: Incredible food, Great Service - overall a wonderful experience

Food, wine and staff - all great

by kitten712

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!
