Hello truffle nachos! I've been looking forward to this appetizer ever since making a reservation at Boa and it didn't disappoint! The "nachos" are actually fried potato chips with melted Gruyere cheese and truffles on top, but it was excellent. Who would've thought that I'd also be raving about their dinner rolls! They are served hot and are light and fluffy...almost like a biscuit. Oh man was it good. The star of the show was their special for the night: filet mignon with a pile of crab and lobster meat on top with a barnaise sauce. The beef and crab/lobster combo was excellent, although the seafood was a little on the rich side. The sides that were ordered (cheddar and bacon mashed potatoes and grilled broccoli) were good, but it didn't blow me away. I couldn't even taste the cheese in the mashed potatoes.
The service was in a class by itself. On the way to getting seated, I was practically greeted five times by the restaurant staff. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes, even giving me pointers on what not to order with my steak. The water glass was always full and plates were taken away in a timely manner.
It really should get 4.5 stars. There's just something that didn't put this experience over the top but it was a great experience anyway. I wouldn't mind coming back here if someone else paid. :-)
