If you're gonna serve steaks that tough, you should at least have sharper steak knives. Skippable at half the price. The waitress never explained anything on the menu. The silverware was bent. The drinks took forever to arrive. They were out of the wagu ribeye at 8pm on a Saturday. Then you scan a QR code to pay. Zero service, food that was on the low end of mediocre, and the prices are outrageous. Hard pass. read more

I took my son to BOA Steakhouse for his birthday dinner. The steaks were outstanding, the service was great, and I loved the vibe at BOA.

The food, ambience and service was amazing. Our server, Kevin, was joyful and attentive. His personality put the finishing touches on our experience! We got the tomahawk, the steak tartare, oysters and goat cheese baklava. Everything was delicious! 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

We went for my birthday. I was so disappointed. My fillet was mostly fat. Not the experience I expected. I had gone before and it was great. Service was good, but I go for a great dining experience. Not sure I would go again. read more

Everyone from the hostess to the bus boys were great. Thank you all! See ya soon Selena, Jeff and Vinny! read more

BOA Steakhouse - Yummy cheesecake with salted caramel ice cream and Selena's suggestion, delicious sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce. - Steakhouses Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

This steakhouse has a great ambiance and also really good food! They do offer valet parking but there is also structure parking too. The service was also pretty good. The menu has a good amount of options, but not a ton. We started off with the Caesar salad (we were told its the best in town) and they actually come to your table and toss it in front of you. I liked the salad and thought it was actually really good. I ordered the 15 day dry aged rib eye steak, cooked medium rare. When i got the steak it was cooked more medium, I didnt even bother sending it back since I didnt know how long it would take. I thought the size of the steak was a really good size, I didn't even finish it all. My boyfriend got the Cajun cowboy rib eye and that was also really good and had extra spices for flavor. That also came with fried onion strings and a sprouts kind of salad. We ended the night with their salted toffee bread pudding and that was also really good. Not too sweet and really moist. read more

5 stars! We had such a wonderful dinner at Boa Steakhouse, and Kevin made the whole experience even better. He was funny, charming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel taken care of from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service really elevated the night. Kevin had the perfect balance of professionalism and personality ...he made dinner feel fun without ever missing a beat. We'll definitely be back and would love to sit in his section again! read more

First allow me to state the reason for the 1 star. The Happy Hour deserves 5 Stars and the waiter/bartender Chaz was simply adorable and was such a pleasure to chat with. He was personable and just had us laughing. The Happy Hour menu is fire too! We decided to move to the back of the restaurant to enjoy a couple of steaks. This is where things took a turn. James was our waiter he was from Ireland and just was a true pleasure and very sweet. All of a sudden we had another guy who looked like he would rip your head off no smile no customer service at all!! This guy wasn't friendly...mind you it's my first time we asked where was James and he said maybe he's on his break. Now I'm not sure about you but most restaurants if your waiter is going on break would come to the table and introduce the waiter that will take his place while he's on break. Nope that didn't happen so we were being handled by this guy who might have been having a bad day. It changed the whole energy and experience. Back to the 1 star...it was because the Tomahawk Steak and the PorterHouse Steak has so much fat on them it was disappointing. Then we asked chimichurri sauce...just beware they make their own version which is red in color as they use some type of spiced red oil anyway it was not good. Can I suggest you try the Happy Hour charcuterie board as the white cheddar cheese is simply amazing loved it. All to say the Happy hour was the best part and this was not a cheap dinner. Do Better BOA! Get the back of the house together as the waiters barely even checked on us. My son brought me here for Happy Hour as he raved about the BOA on Sunset. Much to his disappointment the Manhattan Beach location is not the same. read more

Amazing anniversary dinner last night. From the moment we checked in, the hostess, the servers and Vinny the manager all greeted us with a "happy anniversary ". It was really a nice touch. When we got to our table there was a nice sign which said happy anniversary. We ordered a couple cocktails to start and a shrimp cocktail appetizer. They brought out a complimentary appetizer of fried Mac n cheese which was delicious. The menu is pretty extensive with a focus on New York, Ribeye and Wagyu steaks. There were some seafood and pasta options and quite a good selection of side dishes. We chose 2 ribeyes with fries , cooked in beef tallow , and a side of creamy spinach. You have to try the fries, they were so good. The steaks were a good 15 oz portion and we both ate half and took the other half home. Dessert was a caramel cake with ice cream which was delicious and even came with a chocolate "Happy Anniversary " sign and sparkler. Very attentive serving staff. Never had to ask for water or another glass of wine or cocktails. Restaurant was very busy and moderate noise levels. Excellent food,service, and experience. This is our new go to restaurant for special evenings out. We will be back. read more

Stopped by for happy hour and was very pleased with the entire dining experience! Staff was very welcoming and attentive from start to finish. The food - simply delicious. The wings were so tender and flavorful, the tuna tacos had the perfect light crisp with perfectly seasoned fish, the boa burger was creamy and not too heavy. All very delightful! And can't skip dessert - the sticky toffee pudding was the perfect finish! Not to mention, their signature blackberry cocktail was one of the most delicious cocktails I've ever had. Will definitely be returning next time I'm in Santa Monica! read more

It seems to just get better and better every time we come here. We started with the burrata and beet salad, which was unique and enjoyable. It was dine LA so we also got the Wagyu meatballs, sushi cones, filets, mac and cheese, creamed spinach, and cheesecakes. Literally everything was delicious. I can't think of a single thing I would change. Service was great also. read more

Great food, lobster mac, wagu steak ( best I've ever tasted ). Personally the ambience wasn't as good as Santa Monica's - However awesome service, fast seating. Very respectful staff, Baked potatoes was pretty dry. I'd come back for the Convenience & because this location is close to me! It was me + 2 and we all appreciated our service/time here. Thanks so much! read more

This was my second time at Boa and I love everything about it. Our server was attentive. I ordered the Cesar salad and the young lady preparing it had such a charismatic personality it made the experience even better. I hardly ever order a Cesar salad but I just had to especially after finding out it's prepared almost the same as Cesar hotel and restaurant in TJ. The truffle fries were great as well as my steak. I most definitely will be coming back. read more

In terms of ambiance, BOA is sleek and modern, compared to other fine dining steak houses. Personally, I enjoyed the wood tones and minimalistic decor. Service was great, and enjoyed all the recommendations by our server. Definitely pricey but that's what expected of a fancy steakhouse. Nothing special about the menu, as expected as other steak house. A great place to impress your guests. The table side Caesar salad was delicious but perhaps they can add more lettuce, the ratio of the dressing to salad was not proportional. Personally, the food was all too rich for me, seemed heavily saturated in butter. read more

WOW hats off to Justin manager of Boa!!!!! Where do I begin...we had a special engagement for our small fabulous church group of 12. A night we will never ever forget. We had rsvp at 6:30 and weren't seated till 7:30. Justin assured me I'm going to take care of you guys today and he went above anything our group could have asked for. Justin kept on telling me not to worry about tonight. We couldn't believe the generosity!!!!!!!! The most amazing service hospitality from any extraordinary restaurant we've ever been too. If management GM owners see this please acknowledge your great and wonderful staff from Kortland ,her assistant, Joe who also came to our table and the most awesome waiter for us the entire night Jason!!!! Once again from our group we just want to show our utmost gratitude and appreciation a night all 12 of us will talk about for years to come. Food superb but service and hospitality was out of this world God bless!!! 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

I've been here countless times usually with a really good experience. Great ambiance during lunchtime, cool place to meet with coworkers, celebrate a birthday on the weekend or to even get some work done during the week. The menus have changed a bit, but they generally have some pretty good changes.. The waiters are very friendly, suggestive and tentative. There is valet parking at night. My go to are the king crab legs with Cajun sauce and mashed potatoes. The cowboy steak is awesome. Popular item I typically go for. read more

The service at this location is amazing! Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. I came her during DineLA Restaurant week and the food was on point. The restaurant has an open window layout with dim lighting throughout so it was a very romantic vibe. Valet parking is right in front of the restaurant entrance for $10, however self parking for the mall is not a far walk. They also have a dress code, so check the website before you go. read more

Such a fun vibe. Feels like you stepped into Vegas. It's such a great show. Food is outstanding and unique. Honestly one of the best steakhouses I've ever been to. The Cesar Salad is unreal. Honestly the best you'll ever have. The Wagyu Cigars to start with are epic. Love starting with a drink at the bar and then getting a table by the window on the open air patio.also start either the Goat Cheese Baklava. I know, doesn't sound like an appetizer but this is exactly what I'm talking about. It's epic read more

It was okay. I usually like boa but they took my fav thing off the menu so I went with the steak. It was okay, for lunch. It wasn't too busy at all and on the burger he asked for specifications but they got it wrong :( they gave us free cookies which was nice but service could have definitely been better. The smashed broccoli is fire tho read more

Our reservation ran about 30 minutes late, which was a little disappointing--especially since it was our first time visiting. At that point it almost felt like it might be our first and last visit. However, once we were finally seated, the staff truly turned the experience around. They brought us several appetizers on the house .They were attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of. Their great service definitely made up for the delay and left us with a much better impression by the end of the meal. Would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for the initial delay read more

Came here for dinner last night with a group of people. Service was great but drinks took a lot longer than expected, we got our drinks after we finished our appetizers. We sat right next to the bar and we saw most of the waitress, waiter were anxiously waiting for their drinks. The bar probably needs to hire more staff. We ordered Japanese wagyu flight, waiter recommended medium but it was a bit over cooked so I think it's better to go medium rare. Food were great, flavorful. Cocktail drinks were good too but unfortunately they arrived a little too late. It's a bit disappointing for such a nice steak restaurant. read more

Beautiful fancy steakhouse in Manhattan Beach. They have a lot of options for steak especially if you want to go all out and order wagyu. I ordered the filet and it was cooked perfectly. Lobster Mac and cheese was delicious and had good amounts of lobster. Love the ambiance, low lighting but not too dark. Lots of couples inside so definitely a date night restaurant although it's kinda loud inside. Service was very friendly and attentive. They have fee self parking in a nearby parking garage and also paid valet. read more

We have frequented this restaurant in the past and usually look forward to dining here. Perhaps I don't keep track of the day and time we go, but usually it's a pleasant experience from the ambiance, service, and food. Today, we made a last minute reservation for 8:15 on a Friday. Terrible. Very bad. Extremely disappointed. Annoyingly loud, staff looked frantic and unable to control scene. We got seated over 20 minutes after the reservation. Servers who we interacted with seemed ok. I'd be interested in seeing how may steps the floor manager had because she was sprinting in circles...maybe slower and more purposeful would better? With all that said and acknowledging the uncontrollable factors, sadly, the food suffered. Asparagus was underdone and halibut was over salted. The nice gesture of fried Mac n cheese ball was nice, but lactose intolerance is real and was ignored. The tables for 2 in the main dining area were awkwardly close. The server for the other tables near us kept squeezing between tables and his backside was 6 inches from my date's face! Over and over again...not sure if the tables were too close or if he should've just NOT stepped in between tables and leaned over...weird. Wanted to have a nice relaxing dinner after a long week, but I don't think we will be back again. read more

I really don't like how they sit people very late because of using open tables. I really thougjt this experience would be up to standards as other reviews looked. Although it was Valentine's Day, it would have been nice for them to have things more organized for guests that came on time for their reservations... the food overall was amazing. Everything was fresh and very good. It was a nice place to dine out at it was very beautiful inside. read more

First time here and the food was amazing ! We got the new york steak 16oz, and it was super juicy and flavorful. Zach, our waiter was wonderful ! He asked if it was our first time dining here and we let him know it was and he was more than happy to give us a rundown of what options to choose. We celebrated our anniversary, and Zach through in a free dessert for our celebration ! Beautiful location, and inside it was very clean and aesthetic. read more

It's still got great steaks and sides but I will say their wine list is awful. I ordered a $30 glass of champagne that tasted worse than what I can get on an airplane. It's not the cost it's just that they ought to do a better job picking wines. Bring your own wine and pay corkage. read more

Service and ambiance was delightful and pleasant, the steaks superb... BUT you absolutely positively HAVE to get their ahi tuna cones. These small but potent hand held gems. Dense soy paper, creamy, slippery tuna, sesame oil and siracha, all topped with a spoon of caviar. It's been a week since I've been, and I still dream of returning for tuna. Off that it's the best thing on the menu, but it's a real showstopper. Treat yourself! read more

We came here for lunch. The food was underwhelming. 1. petite filet -medium well, it had no flavor & tough, it was overcooked. 2. Son ordered filet and lobster he wanted the steak cooked medium well & it was over cooked ,the lobster was like rubber. 3.Lobster mac & cheese is absolutely terrible no flavor, waste of money the lobster was rubbery. 4. Husband had the wagyu meatballs with spaghetti. Again no flavor very geriatric tasting. 5. Deviled eggs with caviar were pretty good. 6. Shrimp scampi appetizer was good. 7 truffle fries were good. This steak house is not it. 8.The portions are small I have been plenty of steak houses & BOA is not it. My top is Eddie v's , steak 48 and 555 east. At least they cook Food with seasoning & good portions & flavor. They need to work on the flavor. read more
