    Holiday weekend so restaurant was very crowded but the service and food were still excellent. Friendly spot, Truckee landmark. Highly recommend reservations. We will definitely return.

    Took over an hour from ordering to receive food and then there were items missing that took another 30 mins longer. Food was mediocre at best, service was beyond awful.

    We went on Christmas Eve and the restaurant was nicely decorated and everybody working was so nice and festive. We were grateful for their work on a holiday. We will be back!

    Really poor service - from the kitchen not our server. Ordered the burger medium and it came well beyond well done. For a party of 5, four meals arrived but then had to wait 20 minutes for my daughter’s salad. To be fair, BOA has always been good, perhaps this first busy weekend of the season was a challenge.
