Our experience from the moment we walked in yesterday was awesome. The vibe inside was fresh and open. Our server Oz was absolutely amazing and attentive our whole dining experience. The service was exquisite, the food was perfect and it set the tone for an awesome night of dinner. We enjoyed Ny strip, ribeyes, tuna cones and so many sides. Oz, thank you for making my brothers graduation dinner so special. You are amazing! read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday and I'm glad I picked this spot! The vibes and aesthetic were everything. The customer service was great. We got the Waygu cigars as an appetizer. They were good, a lot of flavor, sometimes too flavorful like overpowering but still good. I got a filet with Mac and cheese and loaded baked potato. The Mac and cheese was sooooo good and creamy. The espresso martinis were a 10/10. The only thing we did not like was the carrot cake dessert. The ice cream it came with or sorbet was not good at all it has a weird taste. The carrot cake wasn't very moist and was just okay, wouldn't order again. Overall great experience. read more

On Thursday, April 16, 2026, I decided to host a little get together for some old friends at BOA Steakhouse in Manhattan Beach. I am probably going to date myself, but here goes. Back in 1980, while a junior in high school, I noticed a really cool group of guys hanging out on campus attracting all the young ladies. Since I knew a couple of the guys already because I played little league baseball with one of them, and varsity football with the other (who would go on and play for the Raiders), I asked if I could join the group. I did not know it at the time, but later found out that they called themselves "Members Only." Yes ... I said Members Only! Before you ask, yes everone had at least 2 Members Only Jackets. Fast forward to the evening of 4/16/2026, at BOA Steakhouse, I was really excited to see the guys because I had not seen most of them since The Members Only Very Merry Xmas Dinner Party that I hosted at Ocean Prime in Beverly Hills, the previous year. Now back to BOA, dinner and service was great for the most part. Several fellas ordered steak with a side of Alaskan King Crab Legs, and I had my usuual Seabass with my favorite Old Fashioned drink. I tried to warn a couple of the fellas about ordering Alaskan King Crab Legs at a restaurant that didn't Specialize in Alaskan King Crab Legs, but they didn't listen and complained once their ordered arrived. Several hours later, when the bill was finally dropped off, I had consumed 4-5 old fashoned drinks and I was in a Great Mood. I therefore paid the bill and then we went outside and talked for a while and took some pics. Apparently, I had enjoyed myself a little too much because the General Manager, Eddie, called me and informed me that I had forgotten my credit card. I therefore walked back into the restaurant and retrieved my card. There was not a problem until the next day when I sobered up and looked at the bill. Apparently, the side of Alaskan King Crab Legs that the fellas ordered with their steaks were $120 each. This caught me completely off guard because there were 4-5 crab legs that measured approximately 5 inches long placed into a small bowl. Instead of delivering 1-2 Alaskan King Crab Legs to the table for each guest that ordered them, the chef decided to cut them up and deliver them in a small bowl. Bottom line is, I was Not satisfied with the quantity of crab legs in relation to the price paid. A few days later, I managed to get GM, Eddie, on the phone and expressed my disappoinment with the Alaskan King Crab Legs that my guest ordered. According to Eddie, my guest ordered 8oz crab legs each and that's exactly what was delivered to them. When I asked , Why the crab legs had been cut up and placed in a small bowl? He responded with "For Convvenience!" Apparently, the table would not have accommodated several Alaskan King Crab Legs, so for Convvenience, they cut them up into approximately 5 inches long and placed 4-5 of them in a small bowl. To be honest, his response Stunned Me because living in Laguna Beach and having Real Alaskan King Crab Legs in local restaurants, they did NOT appear to have that problem. I will NOT return! Sincerely, Taking my Business Elsewhere read more

BOA is a fancy chain steak house. But this one is a little different in that it feels like you're outside but not. I think there isn't a wall to one side that gives it that feeling. I had the rib eye with blue cheese, and it was fatty AF. Loved it. The blue cheese was off but didn't matter. The brussels sprouts was burnt properly. The flat iron was a like sweet and it throw everyone off. Truffle fries was decent but nothing to rave about. Staff was professional. Followed the proper etiquettes of a high-steak house. I'd come here again, if I was rich. It is an expensive place so it's a special occasion type of place. read more

We ordered the boa prime board where we ordered a fillet, ribeye, New York strip and lobster tail. These were one of the best steaks I have ever had. The medium rare steaks were cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Ask for raw horseradish to add just a perfect touch to elevate the meat to the next level. The best dessert were the strawberry cream and cheese cake. The carrot cake was the least favorite. Perfect restaurant for a business dinner or a special celebration. read more

We took a friend here for lunch today and everything was A+! Parking is free and right next to the restaurant which in LA is always a plus. First off, the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and everyone made us feel so welcoming for our friend's birthday. Our server, Alycia, went above and beyond to make our visit so special. The service was outstanding and our food was delicious. We had the Club Sandwich smoked turkey, applewood smoked bacon, tomato, avocado, provolone, onion brick, roasted garlic aioli (two of us) and the Smash Burger-double-stacked Wagyu beef, American cheese, house sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion. I had truffle fries that were delicious as well! For dessert, we had the Sticky Toffee Pudding with Fosselman's Salted Caramel Ice Cream and caramel sauce. Thank you BOA for making our friend's birthday so wonderful. read more

We were seated immediately during happy hour, but unfortunately waited about 15 minutes before anyone greeted us. The first impression was also surprising. The hostess was wearing an extremely revealing, low-cut top that barely provided coverage which felt especially ironic considering the restaurant has a dress code posted on its website. Very much a "rules for thee, not for me" situation. For a $$$$ restaurant, I was expecting a much classier, more sophisticated atmosphere so that immediately set the wrong tone. As for the food, unless you enjoy overwhelmingly sweet meat, I'd recommend skipping the marinated skirt steak. On the positive side, the wagyu skewers and hamachi crudo were delicious and easily the highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, those dishes weren't enough to bring me back. At this price point, I expect the service, atmosphere, and overall experience to match the cost... and for me, they simply didn't. The lack of attentiveness and sophistication was disappointing for a restaurant positioning itself at this level. read more

BOA Steakhouse - Dress code for thee but not the hostesses - Steakhouses Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Went there on a Saturday night and had higher expectations for this restaurant. The tomahawk steak was ok. The bone marrow was exceptional. The service was lacking. We let them know that we were celebrating both our birthdays both my husband and I. At the end of the meal we asked the server to pack out leftover steak. I had asked for sauce to go, instead of grabbing sauce from the kitchen, he scraped the 2 drops that were left in the sauce cup and put it in the container for us. I found that out at home. For someone who works in the industry too, this was unacceptable. Our tab was more than 300 and can't even fill the our sauce. As for the birthday celebration, we shouldn't even be asked if we wanted dessert. For a restaurant at this level, they should already bring it out. I was disappointed that I picked BOA to celebrate our birthdays. Won't come back. read more

This was not our first time at BOA, but our first time at this location. I can say for sure we'll be back! Our delightful server Edgar was the cherry on top. He was attentive, patient and had the best personality. Thank you, Edgar for the amazing dining experience. My steak was kinda dry but the temperature was perfect. The chicken Parmesan is enough for two to share, so we'll be taking some of that home. The Wagyu meatball is so tasty! The classic Caesar salad is the BEST, and the Brussels sprouts with chorizo were delicious, even though we couldn't find any chorizo. All in all a great experience and we will return. read more

Got you bestie -- added that in seamlessly and polished: Absolutely 5 stars. I'd happily pay for this experience again. So glad they brought one of my favorite restaurants from Hollywood to Manhattan Beach. I love the decor and ambiance of this place. Everything from start to finish was amazing. The service was amazing from start to end. Happy hour is such a vibe. The entire happy hour menu is perfect. So fun and worth it. The caviar cones were my favorite. I also got the oysters, which were so fresh. I got the fish and chips and truffle fries, and it did not disappoint. The Caesar salad was so good and they prepare it tableside, which made it even better. The BOA Fusion drink is my favorite. So good. And don't even get me started on dessert. The sticky toffee pudding and cookies are to die for. And of course, the wagyu was incredible. 10 out of 10 experience. I can't wait to come back. read more

Absolute perfection for my 50th birthday celebration. Thanks to our waiter Oz, my birthday dinner was an unforgettable experience. First off, the steak was amazing. I've had BOA Sunset Strip years ago and this was my 2nd time at the BOA. You can either valet park or find a mall self-parking spot (easy and free) at the Manhattan Village. This is your high-end steakhouse. You will be paying top dollar for food here and it's all worth it. Steak dinners, my rib eye was cooked to perfect (medium rare, $89), with our side mashed potato ($16), and mac n cheese ($16). My steak was soft and buttery from first bite to last. I loved the restaurant and atmosphere. You get what you pay for and the service, decor, and space was perfect for a high-end steakhouse. read more

One of the best steakhouses I've been to! The server was really knowledgeable and gave great recommendations for our larger group. The wagyu flight was delicious. The meat just melts in your mouth. The center cut filet was also cooked to perfection and seasoned well. All the appetizers and sides we had complimented the meal perfectly. Highly suggest the Mac and cheese as well as the smashed broccoli. It was seasoned so well you forget it's broccoli. Also recommend the cookies - the white chocolate macadamia was the perfect way to finish the meal read more

What a fabulous dining experience! Everything from beginning to end was superb. Our service was impeccable - the waiter was thee ultimate host and was very knowledgeable of the best items on the menu. There were a few items we should've taken his advice on bc the options we chose weren't the greatest. The wagyu cigars 0/5 The complimentary tofu app 0/5 Our steaks- the cowboy Cajun and NY strip 5/5 - simply delicious and made to perfection. I thought the sides were good also but needed just a bit more seasoning. Our mocktails were very refreshing. Complimentary anniversary dessert was beautiful to the eye and delicious to taste - it looked much sweeter than it tasted and that was totally fine with me. The ambiance was soooo beautiful and made us feel like we were on vacation. We'll be back! read more

We had a couples dinner with a couple of friends and their S/Os at this BOA location in Manhattan Beach. The overall experience was very good. I don't remember the individual price of each item. However, the prices are in line with other high end steakhouses. We started off with the Full seafood platter, and it was packed. We enjoyed oysters, mussels, prawns, lobster, crab meat and I think poke. All of the seafood was super fresh, and the amount of food was plentiful for 6 of us. Secondarily, we had the bone marrow at the suggestion of our waiter. The meat on the toast was super moist, and the torching of the marrow at the table was a cool touch. Between all of us, we had ribeyes, NYs and one person had a filet mignon. There were no complaints, and the steaks were made as requested. The sides were really good, esp the fries and mac & cheese. The tallow fries were super crispy bc they were fried in beef fat, and the mac & cheese was rich from the truffle. Lastly, the comped desserts were a great way to end a savory meal. We appreciated the gesture bc of our large tab. Regarding the ambiance, its big in here and the tables are spaced nicely. It was easy to carry on a convo. Our waiter Kevin, was super knowledgable about the menu, and was on top of all our requests. He also decanted the wines we brought, and brought us fresh glasses for each wine. He also checked to make sure there were no spots on the wine glasses: The mark of a detailed waiter. We tipped him 20% on top of the taxed amount. Secondarily, the Manager, Vinny stopped by to say hello, and introduce himself. That was a nice touch. The only downside to the experience was at checkout. Corporate charges a $5.99 fee to pay via QR code. This is underhanded in my mind, and I refused to pay it. The Manager, Vinny stepped in and made it right by processing the payment the old fashioned way. The $5.99 fee should be eliminated bc most customers prolly don't notice it. Corporate should give full disclosure so customers can make informed decisions. read more

This review pertains to happy hour. Came here with a guest and had a nice time while doing a little people watching as well. Surprisingly enough, things weren't busting at the seams for happy hour other than what appeared to be a few business groups that were either coming from or preparing to leave for LAX. While preparing to order we noticed a nice touch..... It appeared that the large groups that were preparing for travel or had just arrived had a fair share of luggage and baggage with them. The host didn't hesitate to inform them that there was a place the restaurant could keep their luggage and belongings to get them out of the way while they dined. Nice! But back to the food.... We both went ahead and ordered the smashburger, with cheese and it was cooked to order. We went ahead and grabbed two crab cakes at $30 bucks a pop (not from the happy hour menu needless to say) and they were delicious. Last last but not least, the CSA, or customer service All Star was Renato. A very attentive gent whose recommendations were spot on as well as the quality of his service. Definitely recommend this joint particularly for happy hour. read more

Another enjoyable meal here. This was my first time coming for lunch. I ended up ordering a steak, but learned that they have burgers and sandwiches on their lunch menu! It's a really nice space inside and the service was friendly and attentive. The cook on my steak was a bit inconsistent, but still tasty nonetheless. The creamed spinach and fries were also delicious. This is a nice, upscale spot for a meal! read more

BOA Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

A 5-star dining experience right in the heart of Manhattan Beach. Good attentive service, and delicious food, with an upscale luxury atmosphere. Out of everything we ordered, I felt that the salads were the standout. The table side Cesar salad is exceptionally good. It's so fresh and crunchy and the dressing is very tasty. I ordered the chop chop salad and LOVED it. It was delicious. I'd come back just because I crave the salads. The rest of the meal was solid, but kinda like any other steakhouse. Steak was good, and cooked perfectly but flavor didn't blow me away. The wagyu meatballs and spaghetti was just OK in my opinion. It wasn't a stand out but if you love spaghetti and meatballs I think you would like it. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they brought us a complementary cheesecake, which was a nice touch and very yummy. read more

Wow!! I am blown away by the food and service at BOA. I booked a reservation to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and I am beyond happy with our experience. The establishment has plenty of cute spots to sit at, whether it is a booth or table setting. Our server was named Oscar and he was phenomenal! We encountered 3 employees (idk what their role is in the restaurant) but they were all soo sweet and gave us great recommendations. Australian Waygu Ribeye - medium rare with truffle butter 5/5 sooo tender and melts in your mouth. The right amount of fat and the meat was cooked perfectly!This steak is huge! Between the two of us we couldn't finish it Truffle Mac & Cheese 5/5 I'm a sucker for truffle and this didnt disappoint! I found myself going back for more portions of the mac throughout the dinner Roasted Bone Marrow 4/5 i wish the dish was less oily. The bone marrow paired nicely with the short rib and bread. The salad also added a refreshing touch. Chipotle Lime Corn 4/5 yummy! The flavors balanced each other out Sea bass 4/5 very soft and buttery. Knocking off a point for the portion being small but it is still delicious Toffee Cake 5/5 WOW this was delicious. The cake was warm and soft. The ice cream brought a great balance to the sweet treat I will be thinking of this dinner for a while. The hospitality of the staff is beyond amazing and they made our night so special! read more

This place is so beautiful. My friend and I came during happy hour and we were not disappointed this was my first ever visit at BOA and I would completely 100/10 recommend. Our waiter was Kevin and his service was also 100/10 he was such a vibe, kind, helpful, cool and just made the experience so nice for us. I originally booked a reservation for dining at 4:15 but when I realized they had happy hour until 5pm I asked Kevin if we could move and he obliged with no issue moving us to the bar seating (Happy hour is not offered in the regular dining area). He recommended the wagyu skewered I believe they're called - BEST MEAT I've had ever ! He then recommended the Thai chicken - BOMB.. we also ordered the Philly and the wagyu smash burger and they were so delicious it's ridiculous. I would love to return again with Kevin as our server - I took off a star because although there were plenty of ladies working our area , at least 3, when he went on break he asked Kristen I believe that was her name, to check on us so he could go on break but no one checked on us for the duration of our meal. He did apologize upon his return. Which we didn't fault him at all. read more

The service here was very friendly. I went here for a casual lunch. BOA usually has a "dress code" but being a Beach City location in the South Bay it's more relaxed for appropriate contemporary community standards of Manhattan Beach... so fret nor fear not! Call 'em if ever in doubt. BOA by nature is expensive in the realm of other steakhouses like Ruth Chris, Maestro's, Flemings, etc. where steaks run $50 on the very low end to an avg of $75-100 for a good cut and stated portions around that 6-12 oz realm without any sides, a la carte. It's a high end dining experience. It's also reliable quality. Expect to dine for about $75-100 per person at minimum, but be prepared to spend about $200-300 per person if you wanted appetizers, sides (sharable sizes) and desert... more if you drink alcohol. BOA is a trusted So Cal name in the LA area, as I've dined at various locations. It's known in our circle as the perfect restaurant for business meatings (meetings with quality steak) and eatings (they have seafood here too!). read more

We absolutely love it here. Happy hour is so much fun. Chaz provides the utmost ultimate great service. Francisco is a gem as well. Both are so amazing. Chaz never lets us down. He literally remembers our orders. He is attentive to everyone. Everyone loves him there. The Caesar salad is sooooo scrumptious. The deviled eggs are one of our go-tos aside from the Caesar Salad. And we have grown to love the cone caviar ....love at first bite. The restrooms are clean. The establishment is super clean. Staff is clean and well dressed and well presented. Everyone here always welcomes you with smiles and respect. It can get crowded within seconds of getting there and it stays crowded all night. Some nights are more busier than others. Great location. One of these days we will make it past the bar. We've made numerous reservation for the table and yet we love Chaz so we go where he is His service is impeccable. Thanks to him and when he isn't there, Francisco gets the job done. They are a miracle duo. read more

The Baseline: For a Steak House Fine Dining experience, the steak must be of high grade prepared to how I order it, the seasoning/flavors must make me salivate for the meat, there must be side dish offering that accompanies the meat, and the experience must make me feel like I am a part of a special experience that is an incredible steak dinner. Food: I had a 12oz New York Strip tonight, marinated skirt steak and frites, and the 15 day dry aged ribeye. The steak is so good at BOA and it will be prepared how you like it (medium rare for the strip). Get the Crispy Tallow fries for an appetizer and you will be happy. I also tried the crab cake and I think I will pass on that in the future (because i am a Maryland Bluecrab snob). The loaded baked potatoes side dish can be a meal unto itself and is awesome. For desert the chocolate mouse is the primo chocolate decadence that we all deserve in life. Service: Great service from a truly professional staff that took care of you as you would expect from a fine dining establishment such as BOA. Water glass was constantly filled up. Ambiance: BOA is upscale and classy in its decor and lighting. Clean bathrooms but there is a massive tear in the wall paper by the urinal that needs repair. read more

A friend invited me to a birthday dinner at BOA Steakhouse in Manhattan Beach in early July 2026. I had never been nor heard of BOA but was excited to try their many steak offerings. Now, I am not a steak aficionado so my review will be quite tempered. If you look at their menu, you will see that this restaurant offers typical steak cuts such as American sirloin to Japanese Wagyu. If you prefer a lean cut of steak, then order the Filet Mignon. If you like a large piece, then go for Center Cut. If you can't finish a man-fist sized steak then order the Petite size. I ordered my steak medium done with bearnaise sauce and peppercorn sauce on the side. This was a conservative order considering that filet mignon does not contain fat, yet the seasoning of the meat was clean while the texture was tender yet hearty. The side sauces elevated the flavor. For example, the bearnaise had a citrusy taste that was perfect for summer while the peppercorn had a heartier flavor that made the meal more robust. For sides, I tried the lobster macaroni which had a strong seafood flavor that I could not abide. It also was not cheesy or saucey enough for me. No melty texture that most people like with mac and cheese. We also shared cream spinach which was acceptable, nothing impressive. We also had a side of fries which tasted like thick cut fries from a fast food joint. I wouldn't care to re-order these fries ever again. I would experiment with something more interesting. My dining mates ordered the Ribeye Medium which they enjoyed. I didn't try it so I cannot pass judgement on it. Shockingly, what stood out tus most of the meal was the dessert. We were gifted a toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. The pudding was a beautiful dark coloring which reminded me of aged rum. The texture was smooth with a sticky honey sweet topping that reminded me of lava. It paired perfectly with the crisp vanilla ice cream. Just divine! The server was incredibly kind and thoughtful to us. The restaurant itself was majestic in its jungle design. I did not feel like I was in Manhattan Beach because it felt so tropical. I definitely recommend this place for its steaks, but I wouldn't try different sides. read more

Celebrated my birthday at BOA on a Wednesday evening with a group of 12, and as always the ambiance delivered. The room is beautiful -- upscale without feeling stiff -- and it carries that polished LA steakhouse energy that keeps us coming back. We frequent BOA regularly for happy hour, so this wasn't a first visit and expectations were grounded in past positive experiences. The evening started off smooth, but service pacing began to slip as the night went on. Our server didn't take drink orders right away, which threw off the initial rhythm of the table, and bottles of wine started arriving slowly instead of cohesively. The wines were half-price that night -- which was awesome -- and they definitely didn't last long once they hit the table. As the night progressed, the energy shifted and our server seemed increasingly flustered. There was a particularly awkward interaction involving Zack that left the whole table exchanging confused looks -- nothing dramatic, just unexpectedly sharp for what should've felt like a seamless celebration. After the fact, it became clear that Zack was juggling multiple tables, which honestly made the situation make more sense. It felt less like poor service from an individual and more like exhaustion and overextension. That said, from a guest perspective the experience is still the experience -- and staffing levels ultimately shape how a night unfolds. Food-wise, BOA was mostly solid with a few surprises compared to past visits. The mac and cheese balls were really good -- easily one of the highlights. My son ordered the Cajun sea bass and said it was fantastic, though the portion felt tiny for around $57 -- probably in that 4-5 ounce range. I went with the regular sea bass, which was decent, but like many places lately the price seems to keep rising while the portion quietly shrinks. I checked in with the table about appetizers, and the feedback was mixed this time. The cigar rolls -- kind of like an egg roll -- didn't land well with our group, and surprisingly the shrimp wasn't a hit either, which felt different from previous visits. I've personally stopped ordering steak at spots like this -- not because BOA can't cook one, but because my sous-vide setup at home has spoiled me a bit (no fault of theirs at all). That said, on a previous visit we tried the A5 wagyu sampler and honestly... that experience will ruin most steaks for you in the best way possible. I say this as someone who genuinely enjoys BOA and returns often: when a table is clearly there to celebrate and invest in the experience -- especially a large group -- the service energy should rise to meet that moment. I fully understand automatic gratuity for big parties, but nights like this highlight how important proper staffing and support are behind the scenes. Overall, the restaurant itself remains stunning, the vibe is still top tier, and we had a great time because BOA knows how to create a scene. I'll absolutely be back -- I just hope the service consistency matches the level of the space every time, especially for special occasions. read more

The highlight of our dinner last night was the Caesar salad. Although we aren't usually big fans of salads, we were curious because it was being prepared at every table--probably part of their strategy! We never expected it to stick in our minds so much. I highly recommend it! Of course, the steaks were amazing too. We also ordered a dessert and mentioned that one of us was celebrating a birthday, so they brought out a special candle for the occasion. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating, especially since we have a baby. Their approach is quite different from other steakhouses, as everything is à la carte. This made it a bit challenging to decide what to order since I have my go-to choices at steakhouses, but everything turned out great. John was our server, he's nice and friendly! We really indulged! The restaurant is baby-friendly and not intimidating, so I would definitely recommend it. read more
