Had a perfect anniversary dinner and am so happy we celebrated here!!! Everything was perfect - our waitress was so cute and funny, the ambiance is great for a romantic dinner, the pacing of the courses well executed and the food itself was amazing! Highly recommend starting with the Parker rolls and the table side Cesar salad. It was so entertaining watching this salad come together. Probably the highlight of the night! Pasta dish was generous on the portions (easily 2 meals) and LOTS of lobster meat, also highly recommend! Both the cookies and the cake for dessert were great, can't go wrong with either! Valet parking available or there is a parking garage right next door. Overall, highly recommend especially if celebrating a special occasion! read more

This was for my husband's birthday resy on 03/24/26 around 7:30pm and it was a wonderful experience! I want to say our server was JJ? He did a fantastic job explaining the menu and helping with recommendations -Drinks: Boa-loma (not for me, just not a tequila person), El toro -Apps: Wagyu cigars, Hokkaido scallops (a miss for hubby) -Food: 1 Westholme Australian Wagyu per person I added truffle sauce on my steak with a side of truffle mac and cheese. He added bleu cheese on his steak and a side of boujee twice baked potato. He did mix up the 2nd drink order but tasted just as great so no worries there. We opted to have carrot cake for dessert and it was the one of the best one he's ever had. Would love to come back again! read more

Fabulous everything! Literally from the wine Sommelier to the desert. This place is amazing. So good we returned twice in the weekend we were in Austin!!! What. Great meal and more! read more

Service and quality of food here is a 10/10! Our server Patrick was awesome and there were other people tending to our table as well. The Jumbo Lump Crab Cake had a lot of difference flavors. The salad on top was fresh and had a vinegrette type dressing and the mayo sauce at the bottom was rich and creamy. These flavors go really well together with the crab cake and the crab itself was good with the crispy crust. The Shrimp Scampi was realllyy good! I love the lemony butter sauce at the bottom and the shrimp was huge! Cooked well and comes peeled! The bread was kind of chewy and tough though. The marinated skirt steak with fries is a good portion, lots of fries! I love these fresh fries they are not oily and perfectly crisp. These are fries that you feel good eating! Skirt steak itself was marinated really well, the flavors are strong! I had it cooked medium rare, which was perfect. Overall, great ambiance, fast service, and great qualify food. read more

We came here for happy hour for the second time after a while and felt quite a decline in their food quality. Their food is such good value. We ordered the tuna tartare tacos, the Wagyu tacos, the table side Caesar salad, the dinner rolls, the wings and the Wagyu meatball. The quality of the shell in the tacos definitely declined from the last time I tried it. It definitely tasted like it had been fried in oil that hadn't been changed for a while. I also was very excited to have the zero proof user Margarita for the second time, but unfortunately, at this time there was no flavor of you at all. It was just plain sour Seapro margarita that didn't taste like much other than lime and water. My favorite thing this time around was the dinner rolls and the Asian wings. They were melt in your mouth. I would still come here for their happy hour burger cause that alone is a good deal. read more

BOA Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Austin, Texas

I really wanted to like this place, especially since everyone I spoke to had a positive experience here. However, it was just okay. I did love the ambiance, and it's very vibey and pretty inside. I ordered the following: Burrata and heirloom tomatoes: 3/5 Tomatoes were good, the burrata was just okay and didn't have much flavor. 15 Day Dry Aged Bone-In: 1/5 The meat quality was fantastic, but unfortunately, that was the only highlight of the steak. I ordered it medium-rare, and the steak came out medium-well. The server came by, saw the temp, and asked if it was okay. I asked for it to be redone as it was overcooked. When the second steak arrived, it was rare. My partner and I were hungry and really didn't want to sit around to have the steak redone for a third time, so we just gave up and ate it. Given this steakhouse's reputation and pricing, I expected the steak to be perfectly cooked to the right temperature. Interestingly, they couldn't cook it to medium-rare. The steak also didn't have much flavor. There's so much potential here, since I really loved the actual quality of the meat. Lobster Fra Diavolo: 2/5 Just okay. Tasted like regular spaghetti and was pretty sweet. Corn Creme Brulee: 4/5 This was the best out of all the other dishes. Very sweet and creamy! Paper Crane: 3/5 Tasty, but didn't love that it was super sweet. Overall, the service was good and I loved the interior. However, it's concerning that they couldn't cook a medium-rare steak. I was also given a streaky plate with oily wipe marks on it which didn't make me feel great about the cleanliness of the restaurant. Another thing to note is that some of the prices on my menu were different from the prices on my partner's menu. read more

Good ambiance and our server had a great personality. Went for happy hour with a group and ordered almost everything from the happy hour menu: Mocktails were excellent, but food wise it was pretty good but didn't quite live up to a 5 star experience. The butter for the bread was probably the highlight, which tells you how everything else was just good, not great. read more

I'm generally not a huge fan of high end chain steakhouses but BOA really didn't disappoint. The service was exceptional and the space is really sleek and beautiful. We were in for an early happy hour so we just did bites - steak frites, Thai chili wings, drinks, and cookies. Everything was solid. The wings were small but delicious, the drinks were better than expected, and the steak frites were pretty good, knowing the cut of beef you're getting with that order. The cookies were recommended and wow - they are exceptional. Overall really happy with the experience and it wasn't too pricey with happy hour included. Worth swinging by! read more

This was an excellent experience! All the food was outstanding. The standouts were the 666 ribeye steak and Mac and cheese. All the food were cooked to perfection! I would definitely recommend this place to fiends. It was my 24th Anniversary and we truly enjoyed it. We actually went to the Mother's Day brunch the next day. read more

BOA Steakhouse - Dinner items 6666 steak ribeye 18oz, Australia Steak 14oz, Mac and cheese lobster and veggie. - Steakhouses Near Me - Austin, Texas

The restaurant itself is beautiful with a grand wooden door entrance - and a understated but elevated vibe within. Firstly, the service was so kind, attentive, and personable. Our waiter guided us through the menu, and directed us to the dishes that best fit what we were looking for. However, we were not blown away by the cocktails or the food. We split the Caesar salad, Roasted Bone Marrow appetizer, Rib Eye, center cut Filet and the chipotle lime corn side. The Roasted Bone Marrow was a highlight. The Caesar salad was made at the table, and was festive in presentation. The Rib Eye was the disappointment as it did not seem the quality we would expect from a restaurant like this. Definitely pricey, but for environment and service it was a fun splurge. My only service qualm is we were asked if we were celebrating something, and we shared we were. Usually if a restaurant asks, they follow-up with a candle or a small token to make it feel celebratory, but not the case here. read more

Hands down the best steak I've ever had! BOA Steakhouse completely exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were impressed by the beautiful, modern decor: sleek, stylish, and upscale without feeling pretentious. We started with the Hamachi Crudo appetizer which was delicious. The three of us also shared the large format Porterhouse with Cajun blackened crust and it was absolute perfection, cooked flawlessly, bursting with flavor, and more than enough food for all of us. Pairing it with a 2012 Dominus Cabernet from their fantastic wine list made it an unforgettable meal! Prices were reasonable for the top tier quality and BOA has a wide variety of other meat selections and non meat items. The cocktails were awesome, especially the Skinny Margarita which was crisp, refreshing, and balanced just right. We also enjoyed their The service was outstanding! A very attentive, friendly, and professional team. A special shoutout to Sam, the General Manager, who came over personally to introduce himself and make sure everything was perfect, such a classy touch and greatly appreciated. BOA Steakhouse has officially become my new favorite steakhouse in Austin. If you're looking for top-tier food, impeccable service, and an exceptional atmosphere, this is the place! read more

Had a really great experience here for a birthday dinner. This was my first time visiting. I really appreciated that everyone had the birthday card at the table upon arrival signifying that it was a celebration. There is a waiting area near the bar until your table is ready. I am not sure if you can eat there, but it was a nice touch instead of waiting outside or at the door. The food was amazing. Started with the AHI TUNA TARTARE and it was enough to share and very tasty. For dinner, I had the 6666 X BOA FOUR SIXES RANCH 18OZ RIBEYE with the bernaise sauce. Just wow! I can't wait to return for this. The cowboy steak was very good as well. For the sides, we tried the roasted asparagus, boujee baked potato, lobster Mac n cheese, and the truffle fries. The drinks were very good. The service was amazing. This is definitely a place that I would recommend for date night or birthdays. read more

Excellent service at the BOA steakhouse. The food tasted great, but the highlight was their expresso martinis.

Came here last night to Celebrate my birthday and it was top tier. The staff had printed out Happy birthday signs and placed them on our table. We also luckily came on 1/2 priced bottle wine night so all bottles were half off! When you come in the ambience of the restaurant is moody with some modern flair scattered around. The hosts greet you and have you wait in the bar area until your table is ready. Once we were sat, our server promptly came over to greet us. Samantha was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, considering this was our first time at this restaurant. She was also super helpful in helping us craft the perfect amount of food so we could sample everything, but wouldn't be rolling out of the restaurant into a food coma. We ordered everything all at once and she paced the items to create a great dinning experience! We ordered the Baklava and the Hamachi Crudo as a starter, i loved the savory/sweet flavor of the Baklava and the textural experience. The Hamachi Crudo was wonderful as well, a fresh palate cleanser for the remainder of the meal. Next came the table side Caesar, if you like to be entertained this is the salad for you! The service staff came with a moveable table to prepare our Caesar salad fresh table side, a really fun experience! We ordered the bone in ribeye to split along with Sauteed mushrooms and a loaded baked potato to complete the meal. Since it was my birthday the staff comp'd a dessert which was a tad bit sweet for my liking but still delicious! All in all a great first experience and will most likely come back for the happy hour! read more

Best dining experience ever!! We have went to many steakhouses in Dallas, Houston, and Austin. Boa by far was THE best steak we have ever had. We started with the Wagyu Cigar appetizer. Spices from Morocco and Lebanon infused with the ground Wagyu rolled like an egg roll. Out of this world unique appetizer ever! We ordered a 2 steak flight. The fillet wagyu and the 15 year old dry aged ribeye. It was served on a wooden board with 3 different salts and sauces. The steak is the highest quality most flavorful steak ever. It honestly stands alone and needs no salt or sauces, but it was fun to try them. The macaroni & cheese was a must. So creamy and delicious! And finally the butter toffee cake! Wow this cake was so moist served with their caramel sauce and a tad bit of Mexican vanilla ice cream on top. My husband and I shared but I could have eaten one by myself! Cannot wait to go back to Boa. We had the best service and made to feel like a celebrity. UNBELIEVABLE experience!! read more

food 8/10 service 5/10 We had a birthday reservation at 6:30pm This review is for the supervisor or if she's the host of the restaurant. We came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday. JJ our waiter was great and did a great job in explaining the menu. My husband had order a double buffalo trace, but the waiter had brought out two glasses, due to the bartender thinking it was for two separate drinks. He stated that it was a mistake and would only charge us for one. We had reached the end of our dinner and JJ said that he's very busy and said that we should pay via QR code. Told us the birthday dessert and one of the buffalo trace was taken care of. When we scanned to pay, the drink was still on the bill, but that's ok we paid for it anyways. Then when we made our way to the front to leave the supervisor/host stopped us and said she wanted to make sure the dessert was not charged and that she wanted to redo our payment. She asked what dessert I had, but I had no idea what it's called. They just brought out a bday dessert. She then asked if we had buffalo trace we said yes. After confirming our bill she said we were good to go. I just felt like she only asked those questions to make sure we paid before leaving. Wouldn't you know if your guest had paid or not. Or even if they did pay for the dessert why does it matter, if the guest didn't say anything. If your don't trust your patrons using QR code to pay then don't offer it. Honestly, the food was good and wanted to take our friends and family here. But we are going to take our business elsewhere, where we feel more welcomed. read more

I have dined at the been BOA Steakhouse on two separate occasions. My first experience was at their happy hour that is M-F from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the bar/lounge area. We were seated at a table in the bar area. They have a bar menu with some discounted food and beverage options. I ordered the Gloria's Margarita with Tequila Blanco, lime, lemon, orange liqueur and agave the Peaches n Dreams with Bandero tequila, peach, lime and tajin. We ordered all 3 tacos happy hour options that come with two tacos per order. They have the tuna tacos with avocados mousse, radish and cilantro, the king crab ceviche tacos with grapefruit and avocado, wagyu tacos with pico de gallo, avocado and cilantro. All three options were a taste bite with thoughtful ingredient combinations to fulfill our pallet. On the second occasion, we had a reservation but arrived to the restaurant an hour early and they were very accommodating and seated us promptly. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Started with the Fire and Smoke cocktail with del maguey puebla mezcal, pineapple, pink peppercorn, honey, firewater bitters. Then ordered the La Quebrada with gran centenario reposado tequila, aperol, passion fruit, lime, agave. This cocktail was a bit sweet for my taste and they quickly replaced it with another Fire and Smoke. Also tried the Smoke Show with knob creek rye, maple syrup, orange bitters, applewood smoke. It was served with a bottle of smoke that you could pour in the glass and it was a fun presentation to behold. Based on the recommendation of our server, we started with the goat cheese baklava with pistachios, black truffles, frisee. This wasn't even on my radar initially, but so glad we tried it as the crust was crisp and flaky and with the combination of the goat cheese and sweetness of the frisee salad, it made for a well balanced bite. Then we ordered the table side Caesar salad where they prepare the salad from scratch right by your table for a fun interactive experience. The recipe had some unique ingredients like worstiersahire sauce and Tabasco for a bold kick. Then for the main course ordered the Cajun Cowboy Ribeye prepared medium rare. There were so many options with sauces to choose from and we went with the herb butter and chimichuri sauces. It was a perfect size to split and it was grilled to perfection. The server used a torch to melt the butter pallet on top of the steak at our table. The meat was a bit inconsistent with some pieces being lean and others with marbling. I preferred the bites with more marbling. For a side we had the crème brûlée creamed corn prepared similar to the dessert with a candied top and very sweet flavor. The consistency almost reminded me of grits but very unique side. For dessert we had the bread pudding with a caramel sauce. It was brought to our table with a sparking candle that was so eye catching and a fun way to end the meal. The staff came by to check in on us and had a conversation with the manager. They were very attentive to every detail and addressed and resolved any issue that came up. Overall a very thoughtful and fulfilling dining experience with great interactive presentation, food, service and ambiance. read more

Great ambience. The drinks are amazing. Do your research on the cut of steak you want and how you want it cooked. I got a steak ordered it exactly the way I wanted it medium rare but I didn't realize it had so much gristle on it. Didn't bother to ask if that the way that cut usually is. I would definitely go back. read more

Just wow! And amazing night from start to finish! Sam and his team treated us like VIPs for our dinner. The ambiance is even better than the pictures show, which do a wonderful job of setting expectations. The place is not a stuffy high end steakhouse. Its hip and cool. Not too loud but just enough noise that helps you relax as if you're in a hip lounge after work. The staff was amazing! Special shout out to Davon our server. He was very knowledgeable and helped us make choices from a menu that could be overwhelming without the help of well versed servers. We were checked on by other staff that weren't assigned to our table, which we thought was a very nice touch. We noticed how they interacting across the different assigned tables without and signs of animosity which can be normal in many food service places. Sam, dont forget the tips we gave you for a prosperous marriage. Best wishes! Now to the food!!! Nothing was a miss. Just be careful choosing starters or you won't have room to finish your entree. We shared the deviled eggs with caviar, crab cake and table prepared Caesar salad. It was a nice show. Reminded me of being on a resort. For sides we shared mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts. Both were great! I felt like my grandma made both! Main dishes were the 16 oz NY strip Oscar style, Ora king salmon, spaghetti with wagyu meatballs and the 15 day dry aged ribeye. All mains were great! We got complimentary deserts for our anniversary and it was chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies with ice cream and a chocolate cake with a drizzle (I cant remember the name). I am not a desert person usually but since it was complimentary, I decided to indulge and WOW!! Im getting it next time I come. Overall its a great restaurant in a steakhouse landscape that can be a bit overcrowded with more of the same. Well this is not that. Boa Steak is in a good spot by itself and should be for a long time. I cant wait to return and try something else! read more

TLDR: Literally the best meal I've ever had. Period. I'm not much for fine dining, and I rarely review nice restaurants, because if it's good? Well, it ought to be for the cost. And if it's bad? I'm not typically in the habit of leaving bad reviews, unless it's bad enough to warn people about. But... This is what fine dining is meant to be. Paying more for a truly unique and mind blowing experience. I would eat here once a week if I could afford it, and it's for sure worth the splurge. I've been twice now, for work dinners, and the only thing better than the first time was the second. Just spent a week in NY eating glorious company bought dinners, and none of them touched this. The Goat Cheese Baklava alone is worth going for, and I would have gushed about it all day, EXCEPT, on the second visit I tried The Classic Wedge, which oddly has a very similar flavor profile and you get much more bang for your buck. Creamy, cheesy, savory, but somehow still light and refreshing. It's everything I ever wanted any food to taste like in one bite. The baklava is 1000% still worth getting at least once though. I'm not big on steak as a general rule, of course it's delicious, but I'm not that into meat, so it's often a bit much for me. But, their steak is why steak was invented. I've think I've had at least a bite of all of them, and the Filet is my favorite. I heard from a co-worker that their seafood is a bit disappointing, so do with that what you will. Recently found that I'm mildly allergic to seafood, so I can't comment. All the sides are glorious. Every. Single. One. My favorite part is the immense number of truffle option, because I'm a truffle fiend. I'm also a sucker for a fabulous creamed spinach, which they have. Some stakehouses throw in subpar fries as an after though, but not BOA. Drinks are spectacular too. I've tried several. I'm not a wine expert, but the people at the table who claimed to be all gushed. I want to keep writing to get the point across. Eat. Here. read more

We celebrated a birthday here and boy we went all out! I got to try a bunch of the items on the menu - standouts for me were the Parker House Rolls ($11, I DIE for these rolls and that chive butter), goat cheese baklava ($19), truffle mac & cheese ($28, creamy and oh so decadent) and tuna cones ($19). The bone marrow was also great ($34), they torch it right in front of you! I giggled a bit at the tableside Caesar Salad ($21 each) - it was so ridiculously flamboyant. Everything else was fine, but pretty forgettable. I ate so much I basically had to roll myself out lol - everything is really heavy and rich. The interior is sophisticated and screams luxury. The staff are just over the top and the prices are too, lol! read more

I really enjoyed trying this new steakhouse! The vibes are awesome and it feels like a fancy dinner in Austin. Definitely recommend making a reservation in advance but during the week there seems to be availability. There is valet parking (and some street parking).

Went here for a girls night out and had an excellent dinner! Firstly, we were seated promptly for our reservation time. Got greeted by our nice Server and had the Sommelier come over to help us pick a wine in our price range which was great. One of my friends ordered a mocktail too which she said was super well balanced and refreshing. Started with the goat cheese baklava appetizer which was delicious and different! Then moved to the hamachi crudo which was also really fresh with great flavors. We then shared the tomahawk with truffle parm fries - both were well cooked and tasty! Ended with the sticky toffee pudding which was super indulgent and excellent! Go here!! read more

Checked out the new BOA this weekend and loved the decor and vibes. We had a late reservation that ended up being even later because our table wasn't ready right away, but we grabbed a drink at the bar while we waited, so it wasn't a big deal. Since we dined pretty late, the service overall was just okay -- not quite what you'd expect for fine dining -- although the general manager, Sam, came over multiple times and was definitely the most attentive person we interacted with. The food, though, was excellent! The crab ceviche was super fresh and unique, and the table-side Caesar salad is a must-try. I had the filet, cooked perfectly, and my friend had the lobster pasta, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful. They also make birthdays feel special with a dessert and a sparkler! Overall, I'd definitely go back -- but probably at a more normal dinner time next time! read more

We tried BOA for the first time to celebrate my husband's new job. The entire staff was fantastic and the good is easily the best we have had in Austin. Great cocktails and mocktails. Server inquired about food allergies which I appreciate. I had the center cut filet and my husband had the bone in filet. They were cooked to perfection with tasty sides. We can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely nothing about this evening was enjoyable. Celebrating a birthday, we let the guest of honor pick. He picked this. The service was painfully slow. We were greeted and then ignored. No water, even after asking. Server finally showed up. She seemed hurried but we had questions, never having eaten there before. Ordered rolls, water and a bottle of wine and asked for a minute. It took forever to come back and take our order but food didn't take as long to arrive. The food was...just mid-to-bad. Parker house rolls were okay. The butters were delicious though, esp the caramelized onion one. Too much rosemary in the rolls and they weren't very tender. (7/10, $11) The crab cake was okay. 7/10, $29. The crab itself was pretty flavorless and the salad was overly salty. Could be great w a bit more balance. I know I sound like a Karen, but I know how to cook and just expect a baseline. We ordered the tomahawk and ribeye, medium rare. Both were borderline inedible and bluish, which would be fine if it were actually tender. These steaks were chewy. Tough. Definitely not prime beef. I tried the Tomahawk and would give it a 3/10. My husband took two bites of the ribeye before pushing it away. The server never checked in to see how the food was. Another one did, and I let them know nobody was happy with their meals, but it was a birthday and to leave it alone. Long and short, they comp'd the steaks, which was fine, but didn't change the experience. The corn brulee everyone is raving about has a faint foie gras flavor (not a bad thing, IMO) but was also VERY sweet (6.5/10). The fries were "the best part" (7.5/10) according to my husband. Since it was a birthday, they gave us a sparkling rose toast (nice touch, painfully sweet) and a chocolate cake dessert (this was actually very good). Overall this wasn't a great (or even good) meal. I can see why people would come here to hang and drink and blow off post-work steam, but the food just isn't good. And neither was the service. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

Actually a really fun experience. Make sure to get Alex. Hands down the friendliest and most authentic server. I went for my birthday and got steak (of course, steak frites to be specific), a mocktail, biscuits. 10/ read more

The space was gorgeous. I loved that decor and the lights. Unfortunately the food was nothing special. It was a good, typical steakhouse. There were really no standout dishes to me. But the worst part was the service. We were sat immediately but no one came by for 20 after that. We were constantly waiting for our waiter to come around throughout the evening and he forgot about our drinks for another 10 minutes. An hour dinner turned into 2. read more

There is something special about a waiter that truly excels at what they do. I can easily say, I've never been more impressed by the service at a restaurant than I was today. I wish I could remember her name, but she was able to comment on every flavor note within a cocktail, and every ingredient within a disk. It was truly impressive. Beyond just our waitress, water was topped off throughout the night, dishes were delivered and thoughtfully explained, and every employees was at the ready to provide any service you needed. Hats of to the hiring team. We came in for an early dinner on a Friday night before it was too crowded. We had the ceviche, baklava, porterhouse steak, and finished off with the bundt cake. Highlights were definitely the steak and dessert. The porterhouse is served a bit rare then your preference but is delivered on a piping hot stone filled with butter that will quickly sear any slice to your desired temperature. The baklava seemed to be a popular dish, but I would likely skip it next time. The warm bundt cake topped with ice cream was definitely the way to finish off a meal. My only negative here was the cocktail. We ordered the fashion forward (their take on an old fashion). My main issue was the square cube was too large for the glass. Every time you take a sip, your mouth hits the cube, making for an unpleasant flash of cold before you get a sip. It also didn't have the signature flavor bit you get when having an old fashion. read more

BOA Steakhouse - Porterhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Austin, Texas

My husband and I went there on a mom and dad happy hour night, after an unsuccessful try with friends a few months back, when their kitchen hood broke and they couldn't serve us. The staff was super nice and welcoming, especially when we explained this was our second try. The place is beautiful and everybody is very nice. The happy hour includes some great deals like $10 cocktails, and $12 charcuterie board that's actually amazing quality for the price. The reason why I only gave it 3 stars is because the burgers were overcooked and just meh (we had just been told they would be in our top burgers in the city... yea.. no.) Mine (the boa) was overcooked for me, they forgot to ask me how I liked it and I got a medium well burger patty. And my husband said the Wagyu smash burger was not great either and he would rather have Pterrys. Note that the happy hour is only at the lounge and bar area from 4-6pm and they have other items that look great. I would come and try an actual steak or their normal menu if I came back. read more

When the highly acclaimed BOA Steakhouse adds a fully plant-based steak to the lineup, that alone makes a big statement. Bringing vegan options to high-end dining, Beyond Meat has debuted their whole-cut meatless steak fillets as a permanent addition to all Boa locations, coast to coast. It's BEYOND exciting (pun intended) to see a more inclusive approach to the steakhouse experience, because "meat" doesn't just mean animal flesh! In addition to the groundbreaking plant steak, a salad of heirloom tomatoes, a delicate and refined vegetable curry, and refreshing sorbet are available to make a lavish four-course meal that everyone can enjoy. Will the new steak fool omnivores who have their hearts set on a dry-aged bone-in ribeye or a Japanese A5 wagyu steak? Honestly, I don't think so. Will it give an option for the curious, the compassionate, and the more conscious consumer? Absolutely, and I fully celebrate that and support that. Just changing the narrative about what plant-based food, and meat especially, is a huge win! Put on your fancy clothes and treat yourself. Eaters of all stripes are welcome at this table. read more

We didn't have reservations, but they accommodated our group of 4 in the lounge area. It was a small table so difficult to have all the food but it worked for no reservations.

Probably one of the best steakhouses in Austin! This California transplant has made a big impression on the local dining scene. I came here for happy hour with a friend, and everything was fantastic from start to finish. We started with a glass of red wine for me and the BOA Smash for my friend. They offer a great selection of cocktails priced around $9-10 during happy hour. For food, we both chose the smash burger and shared an order of Thai chili wings. Everything was excellent, and I was impressed by the high-quality Wagyu beef they offered at such a reasonable price. For dessert, we had the sticky toffee cake, served with vanilla ice cream and topped with a sparkler. It was definitely a showstopper, and the manager even came out to serve it to us! The service was top-notch as well as super attentive and the restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous. I'm already dreaming about coming back here to celebrate my next special occasion! read more

We had an after work gathering at this establishment. I liked how they had the lights dimmed enough to give it that classic upscale vibe you see on films. All that was missing was a piano near the bar. Now for the food. I opted for the Cajun Cowboy 16oz Ribeye with steak frites. For my side I had the Corn Crème Brûlée which could have been a dessert it was that sweet and savory. My steak was cooked medium and they did not disappoint. The blue cheese butter that was melted on it added to the taste. I didn't feel the cajun seasoning kick in th until about three bites in.That Cajun spicing kicked in and was just right. It was one of the best steaks I've had. I liked that it's from beef raised in the Midwest, which in my opinion is superior. The Corn Crème Brûlée was a first for me. it was absolutely delicious. I've had regular crème brûlée and was unsure what to think. Boy was I surprised. zit could have been a dessert that is how sweet it was. It was definitely a hot. I could have partaken in a bowl of it. I could not end this without mentioning the service. De'von, i think i spelled if right, was outstanding. In my many years of fine dining, he is perhaps one of the best servets I've met. He was spot on with recommendations, very knowledgeable and very professional. I could go on about the quality of service he provided us. Thank you to Tony as well for also checking in on us. Highly recommend BOA Steakhouse for your fine dining experience. While it may be a tad pricey in my opinion, it was money well worth spent. read more

Visited BOA for dinner to celebrate an anniversary and it did not disappoint! BOA is a whole vibe and everything about it is amazing! From the food and drinks, to the impeccable staff - it's a home run to eat here! They have so many choices for appetizers, mains and sides. The Wagyu Meatball and the table-side Caesar salad was absolutely delicious! The Wagyu Ribeye was cooked perfectly and was flavorful, as was the Branzino fish! The sides - lobster mac n cheese and the smashed broccoli were off the chart amazing! You can't go wrong with any of the options here. The staff was super attentive, explained the menu options, gave great recommendations and made the experience phenomenal! Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was chic and trendy, with a variety of seating options. It's located in Downtown Austin on 6th St. If there was a 10-star review option, I'd give it - it's that's good! Thanks BOA for making a celebration, that much more phenomenal! read more

This place never disappoints. The attention to detail is out of this world. I looked over to a friend and said, "this is how I want my dining room to be one day!" I love the vibe, the music is great, the staff is attentive and the drinks never disappoint. The food is always cooked to perfection! read more

We had dinner with some friends there, ambience and food were pretty cool. Food and service was great for the exception of a potato was misrepresented and it was a bit loud for our taste. I'll attach some pics. Overall experience was pretty good, we would go there again read more

I rarely leave reviews, but my latest experience at BOA Steakhouse was WILDLY unacceptable and highly disappointing. Our group was treated with open disrespect by the staff, who told us they would not serve us because they assumed we were intoxicated. Let me be very clear: we were not intoxicated. They tried to claim my eyes were 'watering' and a spilled drink meant our entire group was 'unsafe to serve'. There was no disruptive behavior, no slurred speech, no issue whatsoever that would justify that accusation. Being falsely labeled and refused service was embarrassing, frustrating and completely unprofessional -- especially at a restaurant that positions itself as upscale. And further as a restaurant that i've candidly brought many clients to and spent many nights at. After the situation escalated, management ultimately comped our drinks and dinner, which speaks volumes. You don't comp an entire table unless you know you handled things poorly. While that gesture was acknowledged, it does not undo the way we were treated or the assumptions that were made about us. This was not about policy -- it was about judgment, tone, a power trip and a lack of basic respect. For a restaurant of this caliber and price point, the standards of service should be far higher. We did end up having a lovely meal and phenomenal service just down the road at Lonesome Dove. We won't be returning to BOA. read more

We loved every bite and the server was friendly and very professional, exactly what you should expect at a nice steakhouse but don't receive very often. My daughter and I chose BOA for our Easter celebration due to their reputation and weren't disappointed. We can't wait to go back!Great filet, fresh oysters, table-side Caesar and wonderfully gooey bread pudding. read more
