    Went here for their Mother's Day Brunch and everything was fantastic! Great selection of food and desserts (including ice cream)! Seafood which I love! We were greeted and seated immediately since we had a reservation. They gifted each mother with a little succulent! The mimosa cart lady was a whole vibe! She looked out for us! Since this is an all-you-can-eat buffet - don't wear spanks! Sorry I did not take more pictures but I wanted to be present for the occasion since we were celebrating my 1st Mother's Day! (I'm a dog mom)

    Food-Service-Wednesday half price wine by the bottle. Going there tonight is nothing but unsurpassed pleasure. Imbibe, chomp and start over again. Jovial staff and patrons just enhance the experience. Ron H Five

    This was such a nice experience. The staff was so friendly and attentive. This is not a cheap dinner place so be prepared to spend. Party of 4 our bill was over $500. Food was delicious. The wine was some of the best I've ever had. My one complaint would be they offer a suggestion to enhance your milk but don't tell you there is an additional cost for that suggestion. Other than that we had a beautiful dinner. I would definitely come back for a special occasion

    Love! The staff and the view was beautiful. Took the family here for my daughter's birthday, would definitely recommend if you are visiting the pier.

    We have been coming to BOA for years. They have had vegan options for awhile thankfully but now they have recently added a vegan steak plate with fries which is so good! Right now they have a couple vegan options such as the cauliflower tempura, Thai curry, beyond steak, and smashed broccoli. Other steakhouses should learn from BOA and have some vegan options so we all can enjoy the food together. The service is always amazing here as well. Love that the dress code is not as strict as the West Hollywood location. It's nice to just walk around the beach in athletic shoes and come eat here after.

    Just went to BOA Malibu had Chris what a guy. Made our whole time amazing. Thank you for a great time..

    We flew down to LA just to try BOA Steakhouse for my mom's birthday after hearing so many amazing reviews--and it beyond exceeded our expectations. We started with the Boa Fusion cocktail, which was sweet, strong, and sooo good. Then we ordered the table Caesar salad, and even for three people it was more than enough. For the main course we got the Australian Wagyu ribeye with sautéed mushrooms, paired with the Boa "boujee" twice-baked potato and Brussels sprouts. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth good--tender, flavorful, and honestly exceeded my expectations for steak anywhere. The boujee potato had caviar and crème fraîche, which I had never even thought about putting on a potato before... but now I feel like all my potatoes need to be made like this. After getting completely stuffed from dinner, we finished with the Valrhona chocolate crémeux. It was absolutely to die for--pure chocolate heaven. Start to finish everything was amazing. Service: 10/10 Food: Top tier The whole dinner really knocked it out of the park and made my mom's birthday feel special. Flying down just to eat here might sound crazy, but after this experience it was 100% worth it. I would definitely come back.

    One of the best birthday celebrations ever! My daughter, Juana and I had a memorable evening. Our reservation found us at a charming corner table just adjacent to the lounge. We sat side by side with full people watching view. Vinny, I believe the floor captain greeted me by my first name. He was so kind and hospitable. Following behind was an our beautiful and fabulous server, Christian. Our dinner. Caviar Cones (2) Filet with bone-in Ribeye with bone-in Grill Asparagus Baked Potato and Dinner Rolls. Add my birthday Toffee Pudding topped with ice cream! Perhaps the best steak dinner ever!

    Back to BOA. My fave steak house in Santa Monica. Celebrated my birthday and I got free dessert, cookies and ice cream. Love it. The staffs are friendly and very attentive, they don't get into your nerves. Keeping the table clean when dishes are empty. Bone Marrow was delish.

    The food was decent but not worth the price in my opinion. The staff and ambiance were amazing though!

    This is not a real 6666 prime steak. I've had real prime steaks.  Waste of money.

    Last night I walked and was seated, being told that a reservation is necessary but the table was in a bad location very uncomfortable to sit. Management should have known this and not put a table in front of the patio entrance. However they did sit us a better table. Unfortunately that's when everything went bad. They switched servers and the accommodations were subpar. My appetizer was bad. That burrata was not from Italy. I've had real Italian burrata from N10 in Beverly Hills. If you don't have heirloom tomatoes don't serve me tasteless tomatoes. Tell me we don't have tomatoes shame. I was told we don't have the 6666 steak but than they had it. But the worst part was the time it took for the food to arrive. 35 minutes for two simple appetizers the table next to us got it in 10 minutes of sitting down. The 6666 steak was not worth the price. Very bland flavor and very little marbling. The presentation of the food very mediocre. Won't be returning.

    Sticky Toffee Pudding!

    My in-laws were staying in Santa Monica a few weeks ago so my wife and I went and got dinner with them. This was my first time going to a BOA Steakhouse location and it didn't take long to win me over. This place is absolutely beautiful inside and had an extremely friendly and attentive staff to go with it. The menu is pretty much what you expect from a steakhouse, offering a decent selection of steak cuts, some chicken and pork options, lots of sides, appetizers, and of course a few deserts to top you off at the end. I tried a decent amount of things so let's just break it down. Lobster Mac N' Cheese- This was definitely some of the best lobster Mac N' Cheese I remember having. The lobster itself had such a good flavour while the cheese and noodles didn't taste like generic steakhouse cheese, it had it's own distinct flavour that was absolutely delicious. Corn (Don't remember the technical name, it was seasonal)- The corn was served piping hot with a lemon and tasted very, very, very good. Original Mashed Potatoes- I'm a sucker for some good mashed potatoes and these ones absolutely did the job. Very light, Very good flavour, top notch. Centercut Filet Steak- Very solid piece of beef, cooked medium rare and had great flavour. Sticky Toffee Pudding- It's been too long since I had one of these and the wait was more than worth it. This thing was was absolutely amazing, so much flavour, and looked oh so nice. Overall, BOA Steakhouse gets a 5/5 in my book. I loved everything I ate, the staff was great, and the dark/calm environment made for a nice atmosphere. If you need a nice steak while passing through Santa Monica, BOA is the place to go.

We started with the steak tartare, which was probably the best tartare we've ever had. The butcher's bread nearly stole the show--we ordered two of them and will absolutely be coming back just for the bread. For entrées, I ordered the 12-ounce thick-cut New York Wagyu. It was cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly, and ranks among the best New York steaks I've ever had. We also ordered the 30-day dry-aged bone-in ribeye, which had an incredible nutty, buttery flavor and was equally impressive. The oysters were outstanding--fresh, clean, and exactly what you'd expect from a restaurant owned by a team known for doing seafood right. My daughter ordered the meatballs, which were also delicious. A nice bonus: they offer complimentary corkage for the first bottle, so I brought a French red that paired beautifully with the steaks. Overall, Ocean exceeded our expectations. Outstanding food, great atmosphere, attentive service, and a comfortable noise level that made conversation easy. We will definitely be back.

The atmosphere immediately stood out -- it has a warm European-style charm that feels elegant without being stiff. Cozy lighting, intimate spacing, and a relaxed energy made it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening. The food was exceptional across the board. The caviar cigar and caviar set were highlights -- rich, refined, and perfectly balanced rather than overwhelming. The Branzino was beautifully cooked with clean flavors and great texture. For dessert, the chocolate soufflé was outstanding -- you rarely see soufflé offered anymore, and this one was done properly: light, airy, and deeply chocolatey. We also ordered another dessert (name unfortunately forgotten) that included three cream puffs each topped with a scoop of ice cream. Before serving, the staff performed a flame presentation -- almost like a small tableside ceremony -- which was both entertaining and theatrical, and it actually tasted as good as it looked. Service deserves special recognition. Our server, a well-dressed gentleman whose name I sadly didn't catch, delivered truly outstanding hospitality. He consistently checked on our experience in a natural, non-intrusive way and clearly cared about the guests enjoying the night. His professionalism elevated the entire dinner. Between the ambiance, memorable dishes, and attentive service, this was a restaurant experience rather than just a meal.

The menu here has a a great selection of french dishes, pasta dishes, appetizers, and desserts to top it off (even though I was too stuffed for that). For an appetizer the table ordered the Pan Con Tomate with Prosciutto and even though it's not something I would of personally picked, I did enjoy the small amount I had. For a main course I went with one of my favourite dishes of all time, Steak Frites! Massilia did not skimp on portions here or kill you with price. The steak itself was served with an absolutely amazing chimichurri sauce and a boat load of french fries. Every aspect of the plate was incredible and for $32? Yeah, I'll be coming back in the future. The steak was served rare and was absolutely mouth watering while the french fries were crispy and had great flavour. Overall, Massilia was perfect choice for dinner and an absolute gem in Santa Monica. The atmosphere and restaurant were amazing, the staff was delightful, and the food was perfect. I couldn't recommend this place more if I wanted too, I'll definitely be back in the future!

Corn Ribs - glazed corn ribs with crunchy exterior and natural sweet corn interior. Had a lot of umami yet natural sweetness. Garlic Bread & Tuna Tartare - garlic bread was actually garlicky and the tuna tartare was well balanced. Everything was done well. Pork Belly Taco - honestly looked a bit sad coming out but the taste did not disappoint. Extremely tender pork that was melt in your mouth, only wish there was another fresh element to balance. Yuzu Chashu Duck Ramen - honestly might have been my favorite. Ramen is typically pretty heavy for me but I liked the brightness the yuzu brought to the broth and the duck was incredibly tender. Hojicha Creme Brûlée - the brûlée on top was thick and I enjoyed it. My boyfriend didn't love how overdone it was, but I thought it amplified the bitterness of the hojicha in a smoky way. Yuzu Vanilla Ice Cream - from lavender and truffle a vegan ice cream place. I thought the flavor was nice but didn't enjoy the icey texture, would probably skip on this one.

If you are expecting a "Sushi Omakase", you may be disappointed. After some ChatGPT research I learned that there is such a thing as a "Izakaya Omakase" and Shriube is an izakaya first and sushi restaurant second. Now, if you got this far, here is the cause of this review. One offering was wagu meatballs. They were tasty, not great. What followed immmediately after was wagu curry (with rice). The rub in my mind was the wagu curry had essentially the same flavor as the meatballs and I felt it was just a way for the chef to use up meatballs. Even in an Izakaya first driven Omakase should at least give a customer a variety of tastes, not a repeated one.

Ribeye - 4.5/5 Desserts were good. Would come back again! :)
