A spectacular meal, Fernando was an exceptional host. We experienced the tasting menu, and every course exceeded our expectations. (Which says a lot considering it was competing with its own near-perfection!) Bravo, Boka!

The food was delicious, and I appreciated the opportunity to choose a keto friendly dish. The keto bowl is quite tasty, and very unique! It’s nice that there are a variety of proteins available for this dish. I do wish there were more keto friendly options, but having this one is definitely a plus. Our server, Robert, was, as always, very attentive and quite friendly. Unfortunately, because of the rain, we had to dine indoors, which can be very loud. I love the patio area, though. Overall, I would label this a neighborhood gem!

The brunch was awesome. The Dj, KMoon and the gentleman worked the crowd and I love every minute of it. The food was delicious and drinks were strong

We enjoyed the food and the service was nice. It wasn't too crowded, probably cause it was after Thanksgiving and the drinks were good too.

Excellent food and service! The best entree of the table was the chili honey salmon. Even the sides were good (smoked carrots, broccolini, mashed potatoes). Bread appetizer was so good we ordered a second one. A lot of dishes had spicy flavors or a spicy kick to it. I was a little underwhelmed with the prime rib sandwich. For dessert we tried the wild berry sorbet and tres leches cake. The cake was tasty but not quite dense enough for all the liquid and the sorbet was delicious and refreshing, generously garnished. All in all we had an excellent experience.

One of the BEST meals we’ve had in Chicago! The chicken was amazing! Vegetarian options were almost nonexistent but my vegetarian daughter was satisfied with the heaping Caesar salad. Excellent service as well!!

Serve was slow considering the restaurant wasn’t very busy. Only one person serving most of the restaurant We expected to wait for our food to arrive 20-25 minutes after we ordered it but not 45 minutes after we ordered it. Then we had to wait an additional 10 minutes just to get our check so we could pay and leave. The food was good and we would go back to the food but the service wasn’t terrible
