| - BOA Steakhouse in Cesaer's Palace lacks the luster and draw of it's starry Santa Monica counterpart. It lacks the execution found at StripSteak, CraftSteak, and N9NE. Think of it as a minor league steakhouse with major league prices.
I recently dined at BOA with a group of 14 friends. They were very friendly and accommodating; for a large group on a Friday night, this was a welcome surprise. While a pleasant staff great, the food was not.
We explored the whole menu, ordering a variety of steaks, sides, and seafood. The oysters were very fresh, and served at the right temperature. The sides were fine, but the real red flag went up when we got our steaks.
All of our steaks came out desert dry, regardless of how they were cooked. This was most likely due to not letting the meat rest after it was taken off the grill. This is a total rookie move, and a mortal sin for any self-respecting chef.
BOA is fine if you have a large group and a last minute change of plans, but there are many better options on the strip.
