Boa Steakhouse Santa Monica

This is our special place! Its great for date night, great for friends and family visiting, especially the Santa Monica location! The one thing this Boa has that the other ones don’t have is cotton candy! (Yes you read it right….COTTON CANDY!!!!) No matter what you order you will never be disappointed, from the regular menu to the specials!!! Something you must try while at BOA is Goat Cheese Baklava. Just imagine that combo and then when you try it, it will blow your mind! I have never had anything like it before. Sunday half off bottles of wine. BONUS! Oh don’t forget to try the Truffle Parmesan Cauliflower and when in season another must have are the brussel sprouts. I could give more, but lets just start there for now!

Our meal for the evening:
Colossal Blue Crab Cocktail
Chipotle Lime Corn
Heirloom Tomato with Feta mousse
Mixed Squash & veggies
Ahi Tuna
Petite Filet with horseradish & peppercorn sauce

Dish With Trish at Tapenade

One of my favorite things about Tapenade is they have 15 different versions of brussel sprouts. They change their menu out regularly so they rotate about 5 at a time.

Here are some of their options…
