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.

Lake Superior White Fish and Salmon were great. Definitely get the bread! And the sushi was excellent. Smoked carrots were a treat. Lots of seating. Service was flawless.

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!

Have been here several times and all experiences were great. To start I had their old fashioned which was well balanced. For the table we had the Texas Twinkie which was very good (three of us ordered two twinkies). The fried chicken never disappoints and it’s great they offer a gluten free option as my son has celiac. The sides are also consistently good and this time around we had the brussels sprouts which were excellent. For desert we tried the (gluten free) banana pudding cheesecake which was very good. I’d order all items again. Service was great as usual. Would highly recommend.

I gifted wine and dinner to a family member. They were surprised and enjoyed the evening. The senior manager, Alyiah was amazing and helped my plan it.

A lovely evening with a great special: risotto with beef cheeks, mushrooms and bell peppers. Our server Matthew was knowledgeable about dishes, wines and so accommodating throughout. It was my 75th birthday and I felt so special there.

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
