My first rule of dinning is to only eat at places that are busy. I do this because I like to know that other people find it to be good enough to come back but more importantly I know the food is fresh. Put it this way, I've watched too many episodes of Kitchen Nightmares to even chance a restaurant in a great area with no one in it. With that said we didn't get past the bar at BOA. It was 6:45 on a friday night in Las Vegas and we were to only people in the restaurant. On this night we finished our drink and made our way to Joe's just down stairs.
