I mentioned in a post earlier this week eating at a restaurant called Boa in Hollywood, but I didn’t talk about anything other than seeing Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner on a date, soooo I wanted to tell you guys more about this place because it is a great restaurant to visit for a special event, date or even just a yummy dinner if you’re local.

Cathleen, Arika & I celebrating @ Boa on Sunset

BOA Steakhouse is a contemporary American steakhouse. Think steaks, seafood, veggies, a little something for everyone, with an award winning wine list. Boa Steakhouse has a few locations, Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, Santa Monica & Las Vegas (Inside Caesar’s Palace Forum Shops). We decided to go with the Hollywood location just because it seemed like the most fun place to celebrate a birthday.

As soon as you pull up to Boa on Sunset you get the LA vibe. Valet is waiting to park your car, there are a few lingering paparazzi, and everyone is dressed to impress. The venue alone is really unique with a high energy. The entire inside is decorated as if you are outside, lots of branches and trees. The area we sat in also had a removable ceiling so even though we were indoors, we could feel the outside air seeping through. Don’t worry though, if you get too chilly they have super warm heaters you can turn off and on throughout the night.

We started off with the Goat Cheese Baklava, who would have guessed that I would actually like it. Yum! It was pretty small though so order a few if you have more than two people. Then for dinner I had the Sea Bass. It was ok, not amazing, not bad. I wish I had ordered the Summer Pasta that the others got, it was sooo yummy.

The other menu items I tried and loved were the broccoli, asparagus, and salmon.

I also really liked their infused vodka. They make their own with watermelon and pineapple mixed. It was pretty strong though, so I added a splash of Sprite. Overall a super fun venue to dress cute at and celebrate a special event at. Chances you see a celebrity are high, you can take cute pictures, and eat a delicious meal all in one stop. Next date night in LA, try out Boa!

Also, if you are interested, the top I am wearing is actually a dress from lulus.com. I initially had it on as a dress however it was a bit chilly out so I paired it up with my rushed leggings and a belt as a top. Super cute piece to own because it can be worn as a dress or top!

Mine is a size Medium, and the dress comes in light pink, white or black. Hot pink is sold out
