The first restaurant in the Boka Restaurant Group empire hasn’t lost a step since opening almost 20 years ago. While the Michelin-starred experience typically comes with a high price tag, you can enjoy a four-course dinner for $59 during Restaurant Week. The meal will start with a choice of hot and cold appetizers, such as dry-aged beef tartare and duck leg ravioli, before transitioning to entrees like Icelandic cod and grilled pork collar. Desserts include a winter citrus creation with coconut yuzu sorbet and almond, and guests can tack on wine pairings for an extra $40.
