BOA Steakhouse

"BOA is a fancy Downtown steakhouse that should be near the top of your list if your boss is treating or you’ve recently come into an inheritance. This is the type of place to get dressed up for—the dining room is large and sleek, but just dark enough that nobody will notice if you spill a little chimichurri on your freshly pressed pants—and it doesn’t feel old-fashioned or stuffy. Lush, tropical plants liven up the interior and provide an appropriate backdrop to a soundtrack that’s probably playing Tame Impala. Start with fluffy Parker House rolls and the goat-cheese baklava, then order one of the dry-aged steaks and some Chilean sea bass. But skip the “boujee” twice-baked potato unless you’re a massive tuber enthusiast with a $42 hole in your pocket. photo credit: BOA Steakhouse" - Nicolai McCrary

"The scene-y West Hollywood and Santa Monica steakhouses are offering a $220 heat-and-eat Valentine’s Day package for two that comes with Caesar salad, baklava, a bacon-wrapped steak, shrimp and crab scampi, mashed potatoes, chocolate cake, and more. Preorders must be in by February 13th. Available for pickup and delivery." - brant cox

"Boa Steakhouse, a bustling meat specialist in West Hollywood that also operates in Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach, comes next at number 40 with $17.7 million in sales. A source familiar with Boa Steakhouse confirmed that Restaurant Business’s estimate was within range of its actual gross revenue." - Matthew Kang

"There are a handful of abysmal steakhouses in West Hollywood, but none really compare to BOA. Come to this sprawling restaurant on the Sunset Strip and encounter greasy, middle-aged men making shady deals, a waitstaff trying desperately to get sent home early, and overpriced plates of meat that, no matter what, will always come out well-done. If you come here thinking you’re going to eat good food, you’ve been misinformed. If you come here to try to raise your own status, then please delete our number." - Brant Cox
