What an amazing experience! Top notch service that is rare here in Austin. Incredible food. Coming from a large city with some of the best restaurants in the world we are not easily impressed. For us Boa is a stand out among a city full of mediocre establishments.

A real enjoyable meal. Flew into Austin to spend time with our daughter and wanted to have a first class dinner out. Was not disappointed in the least as every aspect of our dinner was top notch. Our waiter was very professional and friendly (Sam) and had a great personality. The filet mignon ordered medium were cooked medium and were extremely tasty. I had the bourbon pork chop which was cooked perfectly medium. The sides of corn and bacon as well as the mashed potatoes were delicious. To wash all this food down, we drank a Pinot Noir from Oregon which was priced fairly . For dessert, two orders of home made berry sorbet . The three of us were stuffed but not overly. When the check came I did not suffer sticker shock, all facets of the dinner was priced right.
