The highlight of our dinner last night was the Caesar salad. Although we aren't usually big fans of salads, we were curious because it was being prepared at every table--probably part of their strategy! We never expected it to stick in our minds so much. I highly recommend it! Of course, the steaks were amazing too. We also ordered a dessert and mentioned that one of us was celebrating a birthday, so they brought out a special candle for the occasion. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating, especially since we have a baby. Their approach is quite different from other steakhouses, as everything is à la carte. This made it a bit challenging to decide what to order since I have my go-to choices at steakhouses, but everything turned out great. John was our server, he's nice and friendly! We really indulged! The restaurant is baby-friendly and not intimidating, so I would definitely recommend it. read more

On Thursday, April 16, 2026, I decided to host a little get together for some old friends at BOA Steakhouse in Manhattan Beach. I am probably going to date myself, but here goes. Back in 1980, while a junior in high school, I noticed a really cool group of guys hanging out on campus attracting all the young ladies. Since I knew a couple of the guys already because I played little league baseball with one of them, and varsity football with the other (who would go on and play for the Raiders), I asked if I could join the group. I did not know it at the time, but later found out that they called themselves "Members Only." Yes ... I said Members Only! Before you ask, yes everone had at least 2 Members Only Jackets. Fast forward to the evening of 4/16/2026, at BOA Steakhouse, I was really excited to see the guys because I had not seen most of them since The Members Only Very Merry Xmas Dinner Party that I hosted at Ocean Prime in Beverly Hills, the previous year. Now back to BOA, dinner and service was great for the most part. Several fellas ordered steak with a side of Alaskan King Crab Legs, and I had my usuual Seabass with my favorite Old Fashioned drink. I tried to warn a couple of the fellas about ordering Alaskan King Crab Legs at a restaurant that didn't Specialize in Alaskan King Crab Legs, but they didn't listen and complained once their ordered arrived. Several hours later, when the bill was finally dropped off, I had consumed 4-5 old fashoned drinks and I was in a Great Mood. I therefore paid the bill and then we went outside and talked for a while and took some pics. Apparently, I had enjoyed myself a little too much because the General Manager, Eddie, called me and informed me that I had forgotten my credit card. I therefore walked back into the restaurant and retrieved my card. There was not a problem until the next day when I sobered up and looked at the bill. Apparently, the side of Alaskan King Crab Legs that the fellas ordered with their steaks were $120 each. This caught me completely off guard because there were 4-5 crab legs that measured approximately 5 inches long placed into a small bowl. Instead of delivering 1-2 Alaskan King Crab Legs to the table for each guest that ordered them, the chef decided to cut them up and deliver them in a small bowl. Bottom line is, I was Not satisfied with the quantity of crab legs in relation to the price paid. A few days later, I managed to get GM, Eddie, on the phone and expressed my disappoinment with the Alaskan King Crab Legs that my guest ordered. According to Eddie, my guest ordered 8oz crab legs each and that's exactly what was delivered to them. When I asked , Why the crab legs had been cut up and placed in a small bowl? He responded with "For Convvenience!" Apparently, the table would not have accommodated several Alaskan King Crab Legs, so for Convvenience, they cut them up into approximately 5 inches long and placed 4-5 of them in a small bowl. To be honest, his response Stunned Me because living in Laguna Beach and having Real Alaskan King Crab Legs in local restaurants, they did NOT appear to have that problem. I will NOT return! Sincerely, Taking my Business Elsewhere read more

Got you bestie -- added that in seamlessly and polished: Absolutely 5 stars. I'd happily pay for this experience again. So glad they brought one of my favorite restaurants from Hollywood to Manhattan Beach. I love the decor and ambiance of this place. Everything from start to finish was amazing. The service was amazing from start to end. Happy hour is such a vibe. The entire happy hour menu is perfect. So fun and worth it. The caviar cones were my favorite. I also got the oysters, which were so fresh. I got the fish and chips and truffle fries, and it did not disappoint. The Caesar salad was so good and they prepare it tableside, which made it even better. The BOA Fusion drink is my favorite. So good. And don't even get me started on dessert. The sticky toffee pudding and cookies are to die for. And of course, the wagyu was incredible. 10 out of 10 experience. I can't wait to come back. read more

What a fabulous dining experience! Everything from beginning to end was superb. Our service was impeccable - the waiter was thee ultimate host and was very knowledgeable of the best items on the menu. There were a few items we should've taken his advice on bc the options we chose weren't the greatest. The wagyu cigars 0/5 The complimentary tofu app 0/5 Our steaks- the cowboy Cajun and NY strip 5/5 - simply delicious and made to perfection. I thought the sides were good also but needed just a bit more seasoning. Our mocktails were very refreshing. Complimentary anniversary dessert was beautiful to the eye and delicious to taste - it looked much sweeter than it tasted and that was totally fine with me. The ambiance was soooo beautiful and made us feel like we were on vacation. We'll be back! read more

Absolute perfection for my 50th birthday celebration. Thanks to our waiter Oz, my birthday dinner was an unforgettable experience. First off, the steak was amazing. I've had BOA Sunset Strip years ago and this was my 2nd time at the BOA. You can either valet park or find a mall self-parking spot (easy and free) at the Manhattan Village. This is your high-end steakhouse. You will be paying top dollar for food here and it's all worth it. Steak dinners, my rib eye was cooked to perfect (medium rare, $89), with our side mashed potato ($16), and mac n cheese ($16). My steak was soft and buttery from first bite to last. I loved the restaurant and atmosphere. You get what you pay for and the service, decor, and space was perfect for a high-end steakhouse. read more

Another enjoyable meal here. This was my first time coming for lunch. I ended up ordering a steak, but learned that they have burgers and sandwiches on their lunch menu! It's a really nice space inside and the service was friendly and attentive. The cook on my steak was a bit inconsistent, but still tasty nonetheless. The creamed spinach and fries were also delicious. This is a nice, upscale spot for a meal! read more

We had a couples dinner with a couple of friends and their S/Os at this BOA location in Manhattan Beach. The overall experience was very good. I don't remember the individual price of each item. However, the prices are in line with other high end steakhouses. We started off with the Full seafood platter, and it was packed. We enjoyed oysters, mussels, prawns, lobster, crab meat and I think poke. All of the seafood was super fresh, and the amount of food was plentiful for 6 of us. Secondarily, we had the bone marrow at the suggestion of our waiter. The meat on the toast was super moist, and the torching of the marrow at the table was a cool touch. Between all of us, we had ribeyes, NYs and one person had a filet mignon. There were no complaints, and the steaks were made as requested. The sides were really good, esp the fries and mac & cheese. The tallow fries were super crispy bc they were fried in beef fat, and the mac & cheese was rich from the truffle. Lastly, the comped desserts were a great way to end a savory meal. We appreciated the gesture bc of our large tab. Regarding the ambiance, its big in here and the tables are spaced nicely. It was easy to carry on a convo. Our waiter Kevin, was super knowledgable about the menu, and was on top of all our requests. He also decanted the wines we brought, and brought us fresh glasses for each wine. He also checked to make sure there were no spots on the wine glasses: The mark of a detailed waiter. We tipped him 20% on top of the taxed amount. Secondarily, the Manager, Vinny stopped by to say hello, and introduce himself. That was a nice touch. The only downside to the experience was at checkout. Corporate charges a $5.99 fee to pay via QR code. This is underhanded in my mind, and I refused to pay it. The Manager, Vinny stepped in and made it right by processing the payment the old fashioned way. The $5.99 fee should be eliminated bc most customers prolly don't notice it. Corporate should give full disclosure so customers can make informed decisions. read more

This review pertains to happy hour. Came here with a guest and had a nice time while doing a little people watching as well. Surprisingly enough, things weren't busting at the seams for happy hour other than what appeared to be a few business groups that were either coming from or preparing to leave for LAX. While preparing to order we noticed a nice touch..... It appeared that the large groups that were preparing for travel or had just arrived had a fair share of luggage and baggage with them. The host didn't hesitate to inform them that there was a place the restaurant could keep their luggage and belongings to get them out of the way while they dined. Nice! But back to the food.... We both went ahead and ordered the smashburger, with cheese and it was cooked to order. We went ahead and grabbed two crab cakes at $30 bucks a pop (not from the happy hour menu needless to say) and they were delicious. Last last but not least, the CSA, or customer service All Star was Renato. A very attentive gent whose recommendations were spot on as well as the quality of his service. Definitely recommend this joint particularly for happy hour. read more

A 5-star dining experience right in the heart of Manhattan Beach. Good attentive service, and delicious food, with an upscale luxury atmosphere. Out of everything we ordered, I felt that the salads were the standout. The table side Cesar salad is exceptionally good. It's so fresh and crunchy and the dressing is very tasty. I ordered the chop chop salad and LOVED it. It was delicious. I'd come back just because I crave the salads. The rest of the meal was solid, but kinda like any other steakhouse. Steak was good, and cooked perfectly but flavor didn't blow me away. The wagyu meatballs and spaghetti was just OK in my opinion. It wasn't a stand out but if you love spaghetti and meatballs I think you would like it. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they brought us a complementary cheesecake, which was a nice touch and very yummy. read more

Wow!! I am blown away by the food and service at BOA. I booked a reservation to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and I am beyond happy with our experience. The establishment has plenty of cute spots to sit at, whether it is a booth or table setting. Our server was named Oscar and he was phenomenal! We encountered 3 employees (idk what their role is in the restaurant) but they were all soo sweet and gave us great recommendations. Australian Waygu Ribeye - medium rare with truffle butter 5/5 sooo tender and melts in your mouth. The right amount of fat and the meat was cooked perfectly!This steak is huge! Between the two of us we couldn't finish it Truffle Mac & Cheese 5/5 I'm a sucker for truffle and this didnt disappoint! I found myself going back for more portions of the mac throughout the dinner Roasted Bone Marrow 4/5 i wish the dish was less oily. The bone marrow paired nicely with the short rib and bread. The salad also added a refreshing touch. Chipotle Lime Corn 4/5 yummy! The flavors balanced each other out Sea bass 4/5 very soft and buttery. Knocking off a point for the portion being small but it is still delicious Toffee Cake 5/5 WOW this was delicious. The cake was warm and soft. The ice cream brought a great balance to the sweet treat I will be thinking of this dinner for a while. The hospitality of the staff is beyond amazing and they made our night so special! read more

This place is so beautiful. My friend and I came during happy hour and we were not disappointed this was my first ever visit at BOA and I would completely 100/10 recommend. Our waiter was Kevin and his service was also 100/10 he was such a vibe, kind, helpful, cool and just made the experience so nice for us. I originally booked a reservation for dining at 4:15 but when I realized they had happy hour until 5pm I asked Kevin if we could move and he obliged with no issue moving us to the bar seating (Happy hour is not offered in the regular dining area). He recommended the wagyu skewered I believe they're called - BEST MEAT I've had ever ! He then recommended the Thai chicken - BOMB.. we also ordered the Philly and the wagyu smash burger and they were so delicious it's ridiculous. I would love to return again with Kevin as our server - I took off a star because although there were plenty of ladies working our area , at least 3, when he went on break he asked Kristen I believe that was her name, to check on us so he could go on break but no one checked on us for the duration of our meal. He did apologize upon his return. Which we didn't fault him at all. read more

The service here was very friendly. I went here for a casual lunch. BOA usually has a "dress code" but being a Beach City location in the South Bay it's more relaxed for appropriate contemporary community standards of Manhattan Beach... so fret nor fear not! Call 'em if ever in doubt. BOA by nature is expensive in the realm of other steakhouses like Ruth Chris, Maestro's, Flemings, etc. where steaks run $50 on the very low end to an avg of $75-100 for a good cut and stated portions around that 6-12 oz realm without any sides, a la carte. It's a high end dining experience. It's also reliable quality. Expect to dine for about $75-100 per person at minimum, but be prepared to spend about $200-300 per person if you wanted appetizers, sides (sharable sizes) and desert... more if you drink alcohol. BOA is a trusted So Cal name in the LA area, as I've dined at various locations. It's known in our circle as the perfect restaurant for business meatings (meetings with quality steak) and eatings (they have seafood here too!). read more

We wanted some fancy steak, and fast, and we were able to get last minute reservations for BOA Steakhouse in Manhattan beach. We came a little early before 5pm so we could get some happy hour at the bar before we sat for dinner. We had the happy hour half dozen oysters, the caviar cones, and the golden hour cocktail. The caviar cones were slightly warm with an interior like a creamy mashed potato with the dollop of caviar on top. We enjoyed our small bites and cocktail then were seated for dinner. The restaurant is very inviting with fire lights and greenery and very comfortable seats. For dinner we started with the table side caesar salad, side of creamed spinach, the center cut filet, peppercorn sauce and 12 oz New York strip. The caesar salad was crisp, flavorful, and came on chilled plates. The steaks were buttery and satisfying. We enjoyed our side of creamed spinach which had crispy onions on top as well. For dessert we had the ultimate chocolate lovers dream which was the Valrhona Chocolate. This over the top dessert featuring rich chocolate mousse, chantilly cream, chocolate meringue, then the waiter pours chocolate sauce all over it as it is served. We were so full and enjoyed our food and thought the restaurant was very beautiful. I highly recommend this restaurant and would love to return. read more

I was terribly disappointed on Mother's Day after making a reservation one month in advance only to be informed BOA was serving a brunch and denied access to their standard menu. I've previously dined at BOA and wanted my wife to have my previous experience here. I was informed upon arrival of their buffet only for Mother's Day. I asked if we could order a stake from the menu and was denied. BOA never indicated they were serving a buffet only during Mother's Day. I witnessed another patron asked the same question and was also told he and his wife could go next door to Sushi Roko if they wanted stake. My total bill for a buffet with tip and parking totaled 340. With no apology or effort to correct this matter. Management was insensitive to customer service seeking to reach volume I am not a buffet client and would gladly pay more for a service oriented experience. read more

My lovely girlfriend brought me here to enjoy a steak after a promotion! She did a great job picking this place. I absolutely loved the decor, vibe, and overall ambiance of BOA. It really feels like you're in an upscale beach-town steakhouse. The ambiance is very on-brand and makes you feel relaxed. The steak was delicious, the rest of the food was amazing, and the staff was beautiful. Will certainly be coming back here and checking it out during evening hours and seeing the vibes then! read more

The food was okay. We tried them for our wedding anniversary so it was an important date. The staff were friendly and celebratory. Great location and vibe but diners were not dressed classy.

We absolutely love it here. Happy hour is so much fun. Chaz provides the utmost ultimate great service. Francisco is a gem as well. Both are so amazing. Chaz never lets us down. He literally remembers our orders. He is attentive to everyone. Everyone loves him there. The Caesar salad is sooooo scrumptious. The deviled eggs are one of our go-tos aside from the Caesar Salad. And we have grown to love the cone caviar ....love at first bite. The restrooms are clean. The establishment is super clean. Staff is clean and well dressed and well presented. Everyone here always welcomes you with smiles and respect. It can get crowded within seconds of getting there and it stays crowded all night. Some nights are more busier than others. Great location. One of these days we will make it past the bar. We've made numerous reservation for the table and yet we love Chaz so we go where he is His service is impeccable. Thanks to him and when he isn't there, Francisco gets the job done. They are a miracle duo. read more

BOA Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

The Baseline: For a Steak House Fine Dining experience, the steak must be of high grade prepared to how I order it, the seasoning/flavors must make me salivate for the meat, there must be side dish offering that accompanies the meat, and the experience must make me feel like I am a part of a special experience that is an incredible steak dinner. Food: I had a 12oz New York Strip tonight, marinated skirt steak and frites, and the 15 day dry aged ribeye. The steak is so good at BOA and it will be prepared how you like it (medium rare for the strip). Get the Crispy Tallow fries for an appetizer and you will be happy. I also tried the crab cake and I think I will pass on that in the future (because i am a Maryland Bluecrab snob). The loaded baked potatoes side dish can be a meal unto itself and is awesome. For desert the chocolate mouse is the primo chocolate decadence that we all deserve in life. Service: Great service from a truly professional staff that took care of you as you would expect from a fine dining establishment such as BOA. Water glass was constantly filled up. Ambiance: BOA is upscale and classy in its decor and lighting. Clean bathrooms but there is a massive tear in the wall paper by the urinal that needs repair. read more

I had to lower the rating because with a reservation we waited until 920 to be seated. We had reservations at 815. We arrived at 715 with the hopes of possibly getting seated early. They informed us that they had big reservations of 16 and 12 who have not arrived yet. So they were running behind. RED FLAG NUMBER 1. We decided to walk the mall instead and come back around 8. At 815 I walked back up letting the host know we have came back and wanted to check that we were still technically checked in from the 715 time we have arrived at. She assured us yes. Patiently waiting outside, I walked back in at 830, because I noticed someone say they have been waiting over an hour. I asked the host how many ppl were ahead of us that have reservations that have not been seated. She informed me that there was only 1 other party of 2. At this point, me and my fiancé decided to wait in the bar area because our time was approaching. To my surprise I noticed that 2 other parties of 2 got seated before us. But still waiting patiently but getting a little upset. That 2 parties turned to 5 parties of 2. We finally asked for a manager. The manager said that they were behind because of the large parties. I kindly said yes, but you're missing the point. The host informed us that we were the next party to be seated but 5 other parties of 2 went ahead of us. He disregarded what I said and said "they probably had a reservation before yours" and I said BUT THE HOST SAID WERE SECOND ON THE LIST AT 830, it's now 850. He disregarded us and walked away and said he will check on it, but didn't. Again, 2 more parties walked in and were seated. Totaling 7 parties , but "we were next" . I went up to the host to ask for clarification. She got the manager and they finally sat us at 920. They comp us our drink and appetizer but the principal point was we had a reservation and sat way past our reservation time. If they had large parties that didn't show up, there should be a grace period. This was me and my fiancé last date night before getting married and we drove over an hour to try a new steakhouse. It was very disappointing about the wait especially since checking in at 715. Now onto the food: Let me start by saying I am a steak lover ! And steakhouses are our thing. We ordered the Australian wagyu- medium. TBH it tasted like outback. It had a char flavor. I will rate it 5/10. We had this same type of steak at Barry's steakhouse in Vegas, so we compared it to that. For the side we got the lobster Mac and cheese. 13/10 Our waiter was nice, but it also took us over 30 minuets for our dish to come out. We got our bread roll appetizer within 15 minuets. I most definitely will not be back. read more

Celebrated my birthday at BOA on a Wednesday evening with a group of 12, and as always the ambiance delivered. The room is beautiful -- upscale without feeling stiff -- and it carries that polished LA steakhouse energy that keeps us coming back. We frequent BOA regularly for happy hour, so this wasn't a first visit and expectations were grounded in past positive experiences. The evening started off smooth, but service pacing began to slip as the night went on. Our server didn't take drink orders right away, which threw off the initial rhythm of the table, and bottles of wine started arriving slowly instead of cohesively. The wines were half-price that night -- which was awesome -- and they definitely didn't last long once they hit the table. As the night progressed, the energy shifted and our server seemed increasingly flustered. There was a particularly awkward interaction involving Zack that left the whole table exchanging confused looks -- nothing dramatic, just unexpectedly sharp for what should've felt like a seamless celebration. After the fact, it became clear that Zack was juggling multiple tables, which honestly made the situation make more sense. It felt less like poor service from an individual and more like exhaustion and overextension. That said, from a guest perspective the experience is still the experience -- and staffing levels ultimately shape how a night unfolds. Food-wise, BOA was mostly solid with a few surprises compared to past visits. The mac and cheese balls were really good -- easily one of the highlights. My son ordered the Cajun sea bass and said it was fantastic, though the portion felt tiny for around $57 -- probably in that 4-5 ounce range. I went with the regular sea bass, which was decent, but like many places lately the price seems to keep rising while the portion quietly shrinks. I checked in with the table about appetizers, and the feedback was mixed this time. The cigar rolls -- kind of like an egg roll -- didn't land well with our group, and surprisingly the shrimp wasn't a hit either, which felt different from previous visits. I've personally stopped ordering steak at spots like this -- not because BOA can't cook one, but because my sous-vide setup at home has spoiled me a bit (no fault of theirs at all). That said, on a previous visit we tried the A5 wagyu sampler and honestly... that experience will ruin most steaks for you in the best way possible. I say this as someone who genuinely enjoys BOA and returns often: when a table is clearly there to celebrate and invest in the experience -- especially a large group -- the service energy should rise to meet that moment. I fully understand automatic gratuity for big parties, but nights like this highlight how important proper staffing and support are behind the scenes. Overall, the restaurant itself remains stunning, the vibe is still top tier, and we had a great time because BOA knows how to create a scene. I'll absolutely be back -- I just hope the service consistency matches the level of the space every time, especially for special occasions. read more

Amazing ambiance! It's giving Baltaire but with space and light LOL There's a pretty good table side Cesar salad but the star for me was their center cut filet and the Boa Cookies and ice cream! The cookies were a chocolate chip as well as a macadamia white chocolate chip and they were absolutely divine with an espresso to sip - on the side hehe Would be a fiver but my lamb lollipops were just okay and could've used a smidge more flavor. read more

Excellent experience after a comedy of errors this evening! We had a table at the West Hollywood location, but realized it en route to Manhattan Beach. Jessica saved the day with our reservation! Excellent service. Celena took such great care of us. Made helpful suggestions and was attentive. Food prepared to perfection. The ambiance was just perfect.

BOA Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I'm writing this as someone who genuinely loves BOA Steakhouse and has been here multiple times with consistently top-notch service. This experience, however, was a 50/50. We came in to celebrate my cousin's birthday, party of about 12. The vibes at the table were great, and as always, the atmosphere at BOA was on point. We started with appetizers for the table: Caesar salads, wagyu beef cigars, shrimp scampi, and bread. Everything was solid, though we probably could've skipped the cigars. The food overall was scrumptious as expected. Steaks cooked perfectly medium(although it did not come sliced as we requested - more on that below), potatoes whipped and decadent, wine flowing. The birthday cookie at the end was also delicious. Now, onto the issue: our waiter, Zack. I'm not sure if he was having a bad day, but the attitude was noticeable from early on. When someone ordered a bottle of wine, I began to mention I'd also like to order one while reaching for the wine list. He walked away mid-sentence. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he didn't hear me. He did let us know bottles were half off for Wine Wednesday, which we appreciated. When I later ordered my bottle using the wine number listed, he responded in a condescending tone, "Are you sure that's the one? That's not Merlot, it's Malbec." Turns out two wines shared the same number on the menu. Their mistake. But the delivery made me feel like I didn't know what I was ordering, and that wasn't necessary. When it was time to order entrees, one guest at our table chose not to eat for personal reasons. Zack responded with, "So, you're not gonna eat?" It came off as rude and unnecessary. Later, another guest asked a simple clarification about a cocktail. As he walked away, he said, "Shaken? Whatever." At that point, we were so surprised by the consistent tone that we just laughed it off. It was genuinely unbelievable. To add to it, one guest ordered a double Clase Azul at the bar, and the bartender asked if she was okay with the price. That's not standard practice at a place like BOA and felt unprofessional. The food? Great as always. Wine Wednesday? Still a great deal. The birthday celebration itself? Memorable for the right reasons because of our group. But the service was the downfall, and I've never experienced this type of treatment at any BOA location before. I'll absolutely return because I know the standard this place can meet. But based on this visit, the Wednesday night crew missed the mark. read more

It remembered me the high end restaurants I visit in Miami and I'm happy I could find it in my area. Food is excellent no doubt... we shared the best Cesar Salad ever with the experience that one of our servers prepared at our table... unique, then we shared their Australia cut accompanied with a full loaded baked potato... sounds like common but it wasn't, it's different and the people that helps you makes it that way, Edgar our main server not only served us , his conversation was awesome as well as the young lady that prepared our Cesar... since you arrive, you are welcome by three beautiful hosts that guide you to your table and the venue is modern elegant with an open space full of windows and light lightening... try it you won't regret it great ambiance great food. read more

So... I went here for my birthday weekend tonight and there was a small African American hostess and an older Caucasian gentleman in the front and they were helpful and delightful. I had a large party and we got seated. They gave me a bald rude waiter that was impatient and didn't want to offer suggestions. I asked him what drinks were good and he said what do you mean? I said drinks... like what do you mean? And he gon say they all have the same alcohol content. He had a snippy response with two of my other friends and at that point I wanted to get into it with him but I did not. I just said absolutely not, not on my birthday and I went to the front and told the African American hostess that my waiter was rude and unhelpful and I would like another one. Then they gave me a wonderful man with kind eyes named Kevin who was positively thrilled to be our waiter and I loved him. Completely different experience immediately. He explained the menu and asked about allergies and made sure we got our drinks. So from there, my experience was amazing. The food was also delicious. I got some free cookies and ice cream for my birthday. Just great. My only suggestion is that they train that rude as* man. Patience is a virtue and waiters wait. Like bffr. But thank you BOA staff other than the bitter angry waiter for taking care of me and making my birthday dinner a success. read more

My friend and I stopped by for a happy hour while out running errands, and I'm so glad we did. The ambiance is modern chic with beautiful greenery -- very upscale without feeling stuffy. We were greeted right away and quickly seated at a table by the bar of our choice. For drinks, we ordered The Clean and The Tropical. Both were refreshing, light, and easy to sip... but don't be fooled -- they'll sneak up on you lol. For happy hour bites, we tried the Wagyu skewers, Caesar salad, and the Wagyu burger with truffle fries. Now listen... The Wagyu burger is hands down one of the best burgers I've had in my life. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked -- 20/10, highly recommend. I added grilled onions and that is an absolute MUST. The truffle fries were perfectly fried, and the Caesar salad was delicious.(so mad I didn't get a picture, but omgeee the best ever) The Wagyu skewers weren't my personal favorite because they were a bit fatty (just a preference thing), but the flavor was still great. I did enjoy trying them with the different salts -- especially the black salt and the other two varieties offered. Overall, I'll definitely be back. The customer service was fantastic, food came out quickly, and every staff member we passed was polite and welcoming. read more

BOA Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Prefacing this review to say the 4 stars is for the hostess and food only, everything else I would rate a 2 or 3. My partner made reservations for BOA to celebrate an early anniversary and our little getaway to SoCal. We got stuck in really bad traffic heading to our reservation but the hostess was very accommodating and understanding when we got there about changing our reservation time. We came back at 8 for our 8:15 reservation and did not get our table until 8:45. This was ridiculous but they were apologetic so we let it be. The restaurant is really nice and bougie but the service was not it! Our waitress seemed distracted while taking our order, forgot our drinks 3x so we had to flag another waiter, and just did not seem to enjoy being there. The food was great and the sides were delicious too. Overall, the food was the great part and everything else was okay. read more

the goat cheese baklava & the steak tartare are a MUST. My goodness. The ambiance is sexy & sophisticated, the staff SO hospitable. Service was immaculate tbh. Attentive and timely. The porterhouse is incredible. Only things i wouldn't repeat on the menu are the burrata and the bone marrow. The welcome drink was delicious would do the baked potato again just without the caviar. Drinks are DELICIOUS ! We had the blackberry smash and the boa fusion. Incredible overall experience. Will absolutely be back ! read more

Has this happened to anyone. We had a lovely evening at BOA in Manhattan Beach, CA (great food/service) last night and then I get an alert upon arriving home that my credit card had been charged 499.27 (our bill was 277.00). The amount charged is just under 500.00 (fraud alert trigger). No error on bill as the charge was very clear on the receipt we signed using our AMEX. What made it worse was that when I called the restaurant to inform them of what was an error the manager on call that night (Sunday night, about 8:45 pm) she did not apologize and said she'd call me back after looking into this (she had check number and clearly we were charged wrong amount and what we signed on the receipt was definitely only 277). She did say she'd call last night or first thing in morning. Morning has come and gone. When I called again, I talked with general manager who is now looking into this but imagine my surprise when I learned that he didn't have a message about this. Is this fraud/scam by a restauarant? I don't know but it was just under 500 and without me being automatically informed by AMEX (something I set up), I likely wouldn't have thought that amount to be "off" once I got my monthly charges given the number of charges I have due to travel and restaurants. Advice to all: Have alerts come from your credit card companies! Or you could be charged wrong and would never know ...who remembers what they spend a month later if the bill is just a bit off? NOTE: I did talk with the GM, Eddie, who assured me the bill was charged correctly this morning (even though the message from last night was one he never saw) and AMEX is not showing the pending charge of 277...only the 499.... (hoping to have this resolved asap). read more

Company meeting with MD. Ordered Salmon flavored with cajun. It is cooked well, juicy however a little salty. Paired it with creamed spinach and mushroom. Service is great. read more

Sat at the bar and had one of the best steaks I've had in a long time! Got the 15-day dry-aged ribeye, and it was cooked to perfection and perfectly salted. Had a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus as well. The asparagus was massive and honestly kind of a miss, but those potatoes were next level. Definitely would get them again next time. The service was great, and the drinks were made well. Absolutely beautiful venue. I'll be back again for sure! read more

Came here for lunch and they surprisingly have great deals on their lunch items! The sandwich with truffle fries was so good and so was the pasta with the lobster. It was such a nice lunch experience. read more
