We finally got the chance to stop by Boa Bistro yesterday for their happy hour and it turned out to be well worth it. The prices for the drinks and food are great compared to any other place with similar menus and prices: half off a glass of wine, half off appetizers, and $3.00 off specialty martinis. Like a lot of places with fancy martinis, it wasn't quite strong enough for me, but it tasted good and the bartender was cool. The wine list is more substantial then many establishments I've seen in AZ and there are enough selections by the glass and bottle at a mid-range price to make it manageable. The food was great for the price, but at full price I could see a couple things on the menu possibly not being worth it. I definitely recommend the wood-fired flat bread no matter what! The design and decor of the place is very sleek and clean, and the wine cooler adds a nice touch. The one drawback to the place is that the seating is very close inside. It's setup well but it seems more like a big bar then a bar AND restaurant. Take advantage of the patio seating if you want some space. We even had a chance to talk with the Chef a bit since it was still slow and he came off as a great guy... very down to earth and passionate about what he does. Give the Bistro a try sometime. I don't think you will find too many places better in Mesa.
