Amazing Steaks and Craft Cocktails!
My wife and I made a reservation for 7:30 PM on a Sunday night. The dining room and bar were partially full, but it was not the madhouse that I had expected. The ambience was romantic with a dimly-lit atmosphere, fresh flowers, and pin spot lighting projected down to each table.
The beverages program was exceptional. The Oaxaca Smash (mezcal, chai-infused red vermouth, fresh lime juice, agave, and muddled fresh ginger) was tasty and incredibly well-balanced. The Fuyu Martini (vodka, lychee liqueur, St. George spiced pear liqueur, and lavender bitters) - garnished with a fresh flower - was a well-balanced and delicious journey to the Orient. To accompany the steak dinners, we enjoyed glasses of the Californian Treana Cabernet Sauvignon. The glassware, presentation of the wine, and taste were superlative.
On the food side, as an appetizer I enjoyed the Beet Carpaccio, a visually enticing and tasty medley of red and gold beets, radicchio salad, and spiced cashews. The filet mignon, ordered medium, was perfect, and served with horseradish crème fraiche and an artsy scalloped potato. My wife's Rib Eye Steak also scored high points for taste and visual presentation. The culinary journey continued on with a delicious fudge brownie and Irish coffee.
Our waitress, Tracy, was knowledgeable, attentive, and paced the service appropriately so that we could enjoy our experience.
All-in-all, BORO exceeded my expectations, and I rate my experience as a perfect 5 of 5. Everything was exceptional!
The venue also offers private party opportunities. One of our DJ company clients is having their engagement party at BORO this June.
Given that the space is not large, I highly recommend making a reservation. To maximize your experience, you may also want to dine at an off-peak time.
