Editorial Review for Boa Steakhouse – by Randi Schmelzer
In Short
Balboa, the Grafton Hotel's colorful postmodern steakhouse, has been a Sunset Strip favorite since 2001. The latest L.A.-area location--its name shortened to Boa--occupies the former Crocodile Cafe space. Like the original, the newer branch caters to a hip crowd with vibrant decor and sexy lighting, but features its own distinct beach vibe. The nearly identical steak-centric menu includes traditional cuts prepared with the restaurant's signature sauces, plus an expanded selection of seafood and wines by the glass.

This is my first time writing a review...we went to Boa with some high expectations because its supposed to be a steak house like Arnie Mortons or Ruths Chris right? Well, the decor was quite nice and so was the ambient but the food was lacking. Starting from the appetizers super salty tuna tar tar and the carpaccio which came like a ball of raw ground up burger meat..quite gross. The sides were awful, overcooked soggy vegetables and tasteless mashed potatoes. The steaks were asked to be prepared medium one was rare and the other one well done. As far as the drinks? How can you mess up a glass of wine? As far as the service it was decent, food was overpriced to say the least especially for what we were served. Want a great steak go to Mastros, Mortons or Ruths Chris.
Pros: Ambience
Cons: Everything else

Went there for dinner tonight. The food was wonderful. Loved the the lobster mashed potatoes and are steaks were prepared to our liking. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive. For dessert we got the chocolate chip cookies which were very tasty. The atmosphere was very trendy and I loved how our tables were far enough apart that you didn't have to listen to your neighbors conversations or stick your butt in their face while they were eating and you were trying to sit down.
Pros: Great steak. Great service.
Cons: Too noisy.
