What People Are Saying About Boa Steakhouse--CLOSED
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – The Grafton Hotel's steakhouse is a post-modern jumble of unpredictable materials. Light fixtures resemble stained-glass bug zappers, while plastic tables are juxtaposed with walls of latticed twigs. Padded walls protect glamorous diners from bruising their willowy physiques, should the combination of martinis and hypnotic, electronica mood music induce a swoon. – – The Food – Traditional steakhouse dishes are given witty makeovers. A prawn cocktail is spiced up with a vodka-spiked cocktail sauce; the BLT salad is a whimsical deconstruction of the diner…

Go to santa monica instead!

the energy of the place is horrible along with the service. If you're young and out with friends Santa Monica BOA is the place to go...even if it's farther...the staff is way better, faster, and you can walk along the beach after dinner
- Cons: nothing but old people

Very Average Steakhouse
by Carnivore123 at Citysearch
We went to BOA on Sunset for Valentine's Day and had a very average experience. We approached the front desk and the hostesses (the typical aspiring actresses) were busy playing around with the LCD monitor. They were having trouble reading or finding something on the screen.
Even though the restaurant was 2/3 empty, we were seated outside on the balcony- We were assured that there were heat lamps outside. Unless your date is Amish and wearing a dress that comes down to her ankles, she will be freezing if the temperature is in the low 50's. When we complained, we were moved to the lounge area where there were make-shift tables (basically two small bar tables put together). Again, the main dining area was 2/3 empty. We noticed two other tables with people, who happened to be the same race as us, but I won't go there.
We had the crab cakes for appetizer, and it tasted similar to a combination of Gordon's fish sticks and Boca burger. The NY Strip also tasted average, but they did have an extensive wine list. I would definitely give four stars to the server who was very friendly and attentive, and also the bar staff. Otherwise, we had a very average experience there. BOA is definitely a second-tier steakhouse. I've been to everywhere from Peter Luger, Smith & Wollensky's and Sparks in NY, Ruth's Chris, The Cut etc. and this place doesn't come close. If anything, I would just come here for drinks and hang out at the bar.
- Pros: Bar Staff, Wine Selection
- Cons: Small Space, Selective Seating
