BOA Steakhouse - Santa Monica

Since Los Angeles is an industry town with an industry based on glitz and glamor, it only makes sense that we have an entire genre of steakhouses that cater to the industry crowd. With locations in both Santa Monica and the Sunset Strip, Boa is the Godfather of the Glitzy Steakhouse, a modern steakhouse that’s both sexy and satisfying. Start with a fantastic garlicky Caesar served tableside, then pick your favorite steak—try a 21-day dry-aged, bone-in rib-eye ($43) and dress it up with signature sauces like the J-1 (Boa's take on A-1) or a rich blue cheese crust. Celeb sightings are a given so be prepared for the papparazzi outside the Weho location, while Santa Monica’s is more subdued and sexy, the perfect spot for an oceanside dinner date.
