| - As a local, it takes a lot to get me to the strip just to eat a meal, even if it is at a steakhouse that's supposedly one of the best in Vegas. We've got tons of them. But when I heard that Boa was having their 5 year anniversary and were offering 50% off their entire menu, I had to go try it. Boy am I glad I did.
From the moment my girlfriend and I walked in, we were treated to fantastic service. A manager passed us and greeted us, and even though it was odd that we didn't get menus when we sat down, they arrived shortly.
We started with the fritto misto, which is a calamari and artichoke dish. My girlfriend loves artichokes, so she was very disappointed when it arrived and there were only two pieces in all of the calamari. I asked our waitress Winnie if this was normal, and she said it was. She explained the dish further to me and told us next time we could request extra artichokes. Then two minutes later she came back with a bowl of artichokes for us, as she said my girlfriend's face looked like her dog had died when she found out the lack of artichoke was normal. That was awesome of her.
For our main course, I took the waitress's recommendation of the rib eye, and my girlfriend had the prawns. Neither of us were disappointed. Her prawns were big and had a great flavor to them. My steak was prepared to perfection... probably the best rib eye I've ever eaten. I didn't even need the sauce I had ordered.
We were stuffed when Winne brought the dessert menu, but we looked it over anyways. Chocolate filled donut holes with two dipping sauces? How do we say no to that. Let's just say we were overstuffed when we left.
Our entire bill pre-discount was $102, so $51. Oh how I wish it was always $51 for this meal. Worth it at $102, but probably going to save my pennies and hope they run this promotion at their 6 year anniversal. Well done, Boa.
