I live not to far from the La BOA. i took my friend who was wearing nice short to eat. we checked to see if it was ok before we let them park the car. as we were waiting for our table they told us we could not eat there. i would never recommend that place. i called BOA Santa Monica and ask if shorts were ok they said no problem. we drove over and the lady held a table for me so he could get severed right away. The food was amazing.. along with the staff.
Pros: the steak is OMG..

We had a fantastic meal- the food was all wonderful (especially the foie gras and the goat cheese baklava!!). But the overall dining experience was what topped off the night. We had great recommendations from Scott and Jonathan on everything from wine to oysters.

I have dinned at Boa a hand full of times and have always enjoyed myself. The food is always good and always unique. I recently brought wife and two new associates in for dinner with out reservations. The 4 of us were seated in Boa's lounge/ bar area. At first I was a little apprehensive due to the casual setting and close quarters, but was quickly relieved when we were greeted by our waitress, Emily. She made perfect suggestions for both food and wine, was friendly, fun, attentive and if I may, cute as a button. It was my best Boa experience yet. If not for the outstanding food, enormous wine list or beautiful location, check it out for the best waitress in Santa Monica.

The service: Waiter (B), Attendants (A), Hostess (B-)
Food: (A++) Everything was steaming hot. My husband had the New York and loved it. I had the steak with Cajun shrimp, it was excellent. However, the ultimate was the ratatouille. It's to die for. If you go please try it, you won?t regret it.
Atmosphere: (B) A little crowded but comfortable nonetheless.
Location: (A+) Across the street you have beautiful Santa Monica Beach, what more could you ask for.

My boyfriend made reservations at Boa Steakhouse for my birthday. The restaurant was pretty empty at 3pm on a Saturday, which gave our party of six, a sense of privacy. The decor was nice consisting of brown pillowy walls, twig room dividers and interesting lights. Boa Steakhouse was quite impressive with attentive service, delicious dishes along with notable cocktails including the Oaxacan martini, Mc Strawberry Shortcake and the Boa Infusion.
We opted for the Seafood Appetizer Platter consisting of crab legs, half a lobster, oysters and more. The platter was enough for four people.
I ordered the 40-day old aged NY strip steak, which was to die for. My brothers ordered Porterhouse steaks, which were huge!
Overall, our experience at Boa was great and our waiter even served us cheese fries on the house =) I'm definitely going there again sometime soon.
Pros: Attentive service, steaks to die for and de-lish martinis
Cons: Little nat flying around our table

Great food for sure. The service was impeccable and the actual steaks were cooked to perfection. The ambience/decor is also nice. The prices are competitive to the restaurants around them.

My experience at Boa Steakhouse went from bad to worse to absolutely appalling. First, we made reservations that apparently didn?t translate into getting a table anytime near when we were schedule to be seated. So we spent a good $100.00 in the bar. Once we were finally seated the service was horrible. The bread man came around and placed a dinner roll I could buy at Albertsons on my plate but it fell off onto the table. He picked it up, and instead of giving me another one from the basket ? placed it on my plate. The food was not prepare properly and frankly ? mediocre. The m.o. of this laughable Santa Monica trend is inexpensive food (i.e. cotton candy passed off as desert) marketed as chic cuisine. Then came the shocker ? the bill. Now, I have been to Melisse and have no problem shelling out the cash for a great dinning experience (one that Melisse has delivered every time. Boa on the other hand should be ashamed of themselves. But then, someone has to pay the rent on that fantastic piece of property.
