Visiting my family and friends in Mesa and had lunch at Boa Bistro. Nice atmosphere, lovely menu and big kuddos for focusing on natural and organic produce. This place has the potential to become a real treasure in that community. I only gave 3 stars based on the one dish that I tasted. Will wait for feedback from my Mesa family to provide updates.
Feedback on the lunch. Had the "Fall Panzanella 10
MJ Bread, Balsamic Marinated Mushrooms, Baby Lettuce, Roasted Butternut Squash, Goat Cheese". The combination was conceptual wonderful but it lacked dressing and seasoning. I expected pieces of roasted butternut squash but instead it was a puree that was used as a foundation for the salad. But this is a recipe that warrants a spot on the menu.
A nice touch was the table breads were accompanied with a tray with rich olive oil, basalmic vinegar and a serving of their pesto. Delicous!!!.
Very attentive wait staff and well designed atmosphere. Worth a try and a place to watch for leading the way with community restaurants and natural organic foods.
