Absolutely great experience we were greeted very kindly and were seated very quickly. The food came out splendid with zero flaws. The waiters were very kind and were extremely polite. I recommend coming here as am I sure you will love it!

I really wanted to like this place, it’s in a nice location but the dining experience was not good. I got the NY strip and asked for medium rare. I’ve never sent food back at a restaurant but it was the most overcooked and dry piece of steak I’ve ever been served. There was no pink at all so I had no choice but to send it back because it was inedible. I understand mistakes can happen, however after they brought back out the second attempt at the steak my girlfriend had finished eating by this point and we had been waiting for a while so I just asked to take it to go, brought it home and it was the complete opposite. The steak had a little sear outside and raw inside, like when people order blue rare steaks and it’s cold and raw inside. Very disappointing experience.

My boyfriend and I really wanted to love it here, and truly some things about the experience were lovely. Our server was so sweet and the staff were all very kind and attentive. The atmosphere and ambience were awesome. It was some of the food that was just really underwhelming. I’m always appreciative of bread being served, but I wish it was a bit more fresh and/or flavorful. I got the porcini rice balls and they were just ok. My boyfriend got the NY strip (medium rare) and it was very over cooked, he did ask for another and the second time around it was extremely rare. I ordered the shrimp and crab fettuccine and my shrimp was over cooked as well, although the flavors in the dish were nice. I suppose for a place with a nice environment, attention from servers, high price point etc we are just used to receiving a meal to rave about and unfortunately it just fell very short.

We just had a no kids dinner date and our first trip to Bora- service was fine and it was a relatively quiet night which is why we were surprised by food- it was either over cooked or had no flavor. Had the pork chop special and the chop was very over cooked- very dry and tough, came with spinach which had no flavor and tator tots. Wife had a shrimp and scallop flatbread and no flavor. Based on that alone this was probably a one and done for us.

Really good accommodations for gluten, most of the apps were gluten free or could be made gluten free. They even made a few sauces to accommodate a dairy allergy, highly recommend this place and this will be the new go to spot for us. For those of us with no allergies, all food and service was spot on!Dietary restrictions: Gluten, dairy was easy here, highly recommended

My autistic daughter and I were traveling through the area last year and found this restaurant. The service was impeccable, the first delicious and the atmosphere friendly. Our waiter was attentive and kind. I appreciated his demeanor and sensitivity to my daughter. We truly enjoyed our experience and would definitely return next time we pass through! Great job all!

Had a surprise birthday gathering for a friend at Bora. We had drinks & appetizers which was great! From the time you stepped into the restaurant the ambience is alluring . The simple but great tasting menu was sleekly designed to have you try almost everything on the menu. The service was great from the bartender to the hostess that waited the tables. I definitely recommend the expresso martini & the blackberry spicy margarita. All of the appetizers were delicious from the calamari to the meatballs to the fried shrimp. The star of the show was the fried truffle rice ball. All of the sauces were also nicely paired & seasoned to perfection.

Food was very good. Service was good.Parking was a bit of a nightmare, maybe that was because it was Valentine's Day but based on the size of the parking lot it is probably difficult all the time.

I had Nicole as a server and she was wonderful. It was Valentine’s Day so it was VERY busy but she made sure to check on us every chance she got. She was great and kind and did a great job!!!

Went for brunch, service & food were very good. Pork belly was excellent, tuna tartar was meh but presentation was very nice. The ambience is great here.

The service was very pleasant with the staff friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was that of fine dining. The food was flavorful but a little over cooked. The bacon wrapped chicken bites for the appetizer were extremely dry but had good flavor. The prime rib was over cooked but well seasoned Next time I will order my steak a level down from what I really want. Overall the meal was a delight. I would certainly go back again.

Really enjoyed this. Even though super busy Saturday night. Our large group was well taken care of. The food was amazing. Lobster bisque was delicious. And the Short Rib Mushroom tortellini excellent.
