Thanks to wives that can spend endless hours shopping in the Casar's forum shops, I was able to get the full experience of Boa along with a couple of buddies. We finally decided on this steakhouse after a brief conversation with the very friendly hostess who reassured us that our transient like appearance would not be mocked by any of the staff and we would still be served the same quality pieces of meat as more suitably dressed guests. We had to wait for the females so first stop was the bar.
The bartender was quite friendly and knowledgeable about mixed drinks and their wine selection. Despite knowing that Boa is well known for their locally created mixed drinks we opted for a bottle of Malbec from their extensive list. When the femaliens finished their shopping expedition, we were immediately seated in their impressive dining room.
We were seated in an impressive booth with a decent view of the strip for half of our group...the rest of the group got to look at us looking at the strip. We each ordered a side and decided to share all of them as they all seemed to sound good. Circling the table was:
Garlic mashed taters
Balsamic string beans with toasted pine nuts
Lyonnaise potatos
Macaroni and cheese
The sides were quite fantastic, the best of all being the mac and cheese and the mashed potatos. Mac and cheese were made with a shell shaped pasta that was perfectly cooked and very thick and doughy...wonderful.
As for the steak, I had a bone-in ribeye ordered medium well. It was cooked perfectly and came with a very good peppercorn sauce. Other items that were ordered at our table were the 40day aged New York and the Boa Burger all of which received rave reviews.
Service at Boa was impeccable, our waiter seemed to come by at the perfect time, every time and did not have to be asked for anything really. He just knew what we needed a minute before asking for it. I could not have asked for more.
So, after reading this....why only 4 stars?
It is a steak house...granted they did have a great steak...but a 5 star steak? It is a rare day that this foodie comes across a 5 star steak.
