Reviews for BOA Steakhouse Santa Monica in Santa Monica, CA

Although it was 2 of us, we decided on 3 main dishes instead of an appetizer. We had the scallop dinner and shared it as an... appetizer. It was cooked to perfection. It had a great sear yet super tender. The Ribeye steaks were cooked to exacttemperatures and we perfectly seasoned. I opted for no sides but my son had the mushrooms which he said were great. We ended ourdinner with a carrot cake and an order of the cookies. They were also amazing. Nothing disappointed tonight. Our server, Thomas,was very informative, funny and attentive. Highly recommended. Read more

Such a good spot, and the food is phenomenal. We had a hiccup at the beginning with dress code, but Mr. Lighton was more than... accommodating and got us seated immediately. The Wagyu flight is one of a kind, and is definitely a must try. Read more

Had an awesome dinner at the steakhouse, coincidentally celebrating our graduation, and the staff were fantastic in bringing us... some celebratory desserts. Chris was our server and he was fantastic! Read more

What can I say that probably hasn't already been said... great location, check. Great staff, check. Great service, check.... Amazing food, double check. We had to order a second crab cake because the first was soo good and just hit all the right notesand smells. The cajun ribeye will blue cheese and crispy onions... heaven!!! Oh and the drinks... perfection!! There are justtoo many great things to say, the only downside was the lighting was a little dark but it did set a mood!! We've already decidedon getting the goat cheese tart when we return ???? ???? Read more

BOA sure makes top notch steaks and other great dishes (their goat cheese baklava is magnificent!). I’ve been a regular... customer since knowing the place. Been recommended to me by my friends, and recommended it as a result to others. I reallywanted to rate them 5 stars if it weren’t from an unpleasant experience I had in my last visit late March 2022. When askingfor the check, I explained a special situation I’m having in which approximately $10 would be waived from the total. Thewaiter talked to the manager, the manager came in and didn’t accept it due to “fraudulent concerns” he expressed. I triedto explain but the chatter was defensive. In the end I showed my understanding, paid the whole total, and asked him to kindlydouble check my situation. He promised to do so and get back to me once he does. I gave them my primary contact info(phone/email) while paying the bill. Since then, nobody called/emailed. In general, it’s really not a big deal to honest, butwhen you’re a regular customer in a “big” place, and you pay a minimum of $140-200 in every visit, yet they express“fraudulent concerns” about a special situation you tried to explain to them (in which only 10 dollars or so would bewaived), this reaction discourages me from visiting BOA again. GREAT food though! Read more

Our waiter Chris C was very cool and the food was delicious. I took my wife for her birthday with my daughter and future son in... law. We all order fish LOL the waiter said you know this is a steakhouse jokingly. The Chilean Bass and Salmons was cookedperfectly. Lobster Mac & Cheese, Creamed Spinach was excellent. Also Chris sung happy Birthday to my wife and served us carrotcake with sparkles on it. We had a great time Read more
