BOA Steakhouse - Sunset

With its sultry interior design, reasonable prices (for a glitzy steakhouse, at least) and a commitment to consistency and high-touch service, it’s no surprise that this scene-y Sunset Strip steakhouse has stuck around for over two decades. These days, newly appointed executive chef Brendan Collins—formerly of Fia in Santa Monica—has refreshed BOA’s menu with a slate of new seafood items, including caviar-topped spicy tuna cones, tuna tartare served on a bed of dry ice and a knockout lobster pasta spiced up with Calabrian chili. Signature dishes like the Wagyu meatball and classics like truffle mac-n-cheese deliver the sort of familiar, craveable comfort that explain why BOA holds such wide appeal: The restaurant is just as popular among Gen Z influencers and starry-eyed tourists as it is among BOA’s regular, typically older clientele of professionals and Hollywood power brokers. For a more subdued but still sultry vibe, try their Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach locations, both of which are perfect for an oceanside dinner date.
