Boka always delivers ! We had a double date with a couple who never been and were also blown away. The tasting menu was impressive and we loved that it was seafood forward for several dishes . The pasta and venison dishes were also outstanding . We did both the wine and non alcoholic pairing , both were on point. Service was excellent, attentive , but never intrusive. Well done team! I think you deserve two stars not just one .

Where do I start. We went to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday and every aspect of the night was exceptional. The attention to detail to celebrate, the mouthwatering dishes, and the fabulous cocktails. Every bite had so much flavor, even down to the complimentary petite pastries to end the night with. My husband and I's favorite dish to share was the Caraway Ricotta Gnocchetti...like biting into a pillow. RSVP NOW!

Visited in November 2025. Boka is very solid. The food's creative without trying to hard, and every dish actually tastes good instead of just looking pretty. The vibe is calm, kinda intimate, everyone was extremely respective and I had no issues with the noise. Service is on point but not hovering, our waiter was amazing. It's one of those spots where you leave feeling like it was genuinely worth the money, not just a box you checked for the Michelin flex.
