BOKA Restaurant + BarGraduation DinnerFor my college graduation, I took my family and girlfriend to Boka restaurant for a great night of eating, drinking, and good conversations! In hindsight, I would say that on the whole, this restaurant definitely delivered on all fronts. A few points to make, however:
Myself and my father ordered the Kansas City Strip. It was well-seasoned, but way overcooked considering we ordered it medium-rare. Something to keep in mind that influenced my rating of the food here. The truffle fries, however, were marvelous.
The service was a bit inattentive, but they were very accommodating with our particular drink orders.
This was my second time at this restaurant, and honestly my first time here was an overall better experience.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst visit to BOKAMemorable food, simple elegance, impeccable service.6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a great time at BOKALovely experience, again ! Yummy food, friendly service and awesome environment. The vibe is electric and this will always be my go to for a nice restaurant experience.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMIntimateI have been to Boka several times for late night drinks and happy hour, but never for dinner. It was great. I had a hard time choosing a dish, there were several i wanted to devour! The waitress was awesome, the hostess sat us in her favorite seat in the house and the bartender tried his best to recreate my favorite drink they took off the menu! They go the extra mile!5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time at this restaurant.First time at this restaurant. We went for the Mother's Day Brunch. The food was excellent. Don't think they had enough staff because we waited over half an hour for our order to be taken, and then another half an hour for our food to arrive. Other than that, it was a very pleasant experience and would highly recommend.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for Mother's DayHad a wonderfurl meal with my family. Will definitely go back. Love Open Table so I find out about restaurants I might not have otherwise.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food & serviceWe had a great Mother's Day dinner. Great locally sourced foods, very good service, and a nice bar.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMBOKA was worth it!BOKA Restaurant and Bar was a great place to eat local food for the Pacific Northwest. The restaurant had a nice ambiance, very friendly and attentive service. I would reserve a private booth for a romantic dinner, or request a back table if I want to 'see and be seen'.
Don't miss the french fries and be sure to ask about the special of the day.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMLove Boka. Never tire ofLove Boka. Never tire of it. Yes the HH is great and fun. But the dinner menu is always outstanding - the moist - cooked to perfection - swordfish, this night, was a revelation.
Stuck in traffic and got there late - with 55 minutes to have dinner. We were checked out and ready to go in 53 minutes. Everything delivered readily but without rush.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellentVery nice food and perfect for lunch, drinks or dinner before or after the ferry. Groups that include anyone with a hearing impairment -- and that is about 25% of younger groups and probably 80% of older groups -- really appreciate a quieter space and Boka has it, even in the bar at happy hour. I have been in twice in the last week and had a great experience both times -- and actually have been able to hear my dining/drinking companions! Wow. In addition Boca offered really interesting food well that was prepared and beautifully presented, and has a menu that accommodates vegans and any other dietary restriction without having to go to settle for the same old lowest common denominator. Great happy hour wine and drinks! We'll be back.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Happy Hour drink pricesThe Happy Hour drink prices were good and the dinner special was excellent.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMBest service we ever haveBest service we ever have definitely come back for dinner.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMPlay Night FourOur waiter Daniel was exceptional. The food was very tasty and everything came with a very nice presentation, although for big appetites the portions were not generous. For our group the portions were just right. The timing of of the appetizer and the entrée serving was perfect. The location was great for us as well. Love that they have valet parking.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWe frequent Boka Kitchen forWe frequent Boka Kitchen for business lunches and dinners fairly often as it's close to our office and the food is consistently good.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMI had talked my Husband andI had talked my Husband and son (17 years old) into going to Brunch and we had great food and a wonderful experience, loved it!! I usally go to BOKA for a business lunch so was very pleasantly surprised and delighted with the Brunch/Breakfast food. After 10:00am you could order a burger and so that is what my son had, everyone got what they wanted!!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMStellar Breakfast, Dinner &DessertReview for breakfast, dinner and dessert: Dined here on three different occasions while staying in Seattle. Delicious food for every meal and very attentive service. Our party of three had different selections each time and all were exceptional. Reservations are suggested for dinner. Try it, you won't be disappointed.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a party of seven &We had a party of seven & our server was fantastic! We may have gotten a little loud from time to time, but were tolerated very well... ;-)3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe tried the bar at BOKA beforeWe tried the bar at BOKA before and were facinated by the unique cocktail list, but sadly we missed the happy hour. This trip we decided to have cocktails and dinner at BOKA and were not disappointed. The cocktail menu featured some drinks using local products and traditional drinks can be kicked up a notch with premium liquor. The happy hour menu, which is designed for sharing, had items that aren't usually "bar food" like truffle fries, Vietnamese short ribs, and perfectly seared scallops. The truffle fries are to die for and rival/exceed those at Canlis.The dinner menu features seafood as well as other entree choices. I liked the shrimp on grits with tasso sauce. The BOKA salad with tart cherries was very good. Can't wait to go back!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMBoka-APR13Perfect meal. Had the apple salad and tuna Nicoise. Salad was great. The tuna was wonderful. The service was Outstanding! Every server worked together so well. I highly recommend Boka. Looking forward to my next vist.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AM
