Boka

My dinner at Boka was the best dinner I've had in a long time. I decided to be "boring" and order chicken . Man, was I wrong. This was the most amazing chicken I've ever had. Lee Wolen is a master.

Third time having dinner here. Consistent high quality and nice decor. Cauliflower salad , cod ravioli and duck breast were great. Date with divinity was a good light cocktail .

The Boka revamp is now open with acclaimed chef Lee Wolen launching a completely new menu. A new buildout, 180 degrees from the prior look, adds to the more approachable vibe. Read more

The tasting menu and wine pairing is out of this world!! Kudos to the chef for a gastronomical experience. We even decided last minute to sit at the bar and enjoy, and it was amazing.

Came here for restaurant week and very happy with the visit. Everything is so well made, especially the seared scallop . I enjoyed everything from starters to dessert .

Fine dining at its best! Amazing decor-check out the living wall with animal pictures framed. Service and staff-Excellent. Bar is engaging. Menu-Wow! Dry Aged Duck Breast-OMG. Reservations a must.

One of the finest restaurant experiences in the city of Chicago. All aspects (ambience, appetizers , wine , claims, entrees, desert and service) were spectacular. We went loved BOKA!

Been a while since I've been there as I have been traveling but the food was fantastic and service above and beyond. Would go back as soon as I can and try the rest of the menu.

Boka does "simple" deliciously! The rotating menu updates with the season - but stick with the classics the chef does great with chicken and vegetables . Simple but oh so delicious.

The beautifully composed broccoli salad at Boka consists of raw, shaved broccoli stems and florets, brightened with preserved lemon and a barely there lemon vinaigrette . Read more

first time I had duck , scallops and edemame mac & cheese (have to try it), 2nd time I went for the grand tasting menu w/ wine pairing . you really can't go wrong.... foodie heaven! martinis are A+!

Great good, really well prepared, the presentation is great.... The downside is definitely the fact that it comes in really small portions... If you are hungry, like starving, leave for another time..

One of my favorite dinners in Chicago! Sage bread , beet smoked salad , ricotta dumplings and bass with eggplant ! Everything delicious!

Amazing food with an even better presentation. Must sit in the patio , such a great atmosphere!

This Chicago restaurant will shave Alba white truffles over tagliolini with parmesan for $36 for four grams or $72 for eight grams. Read more

There's only one true option when it comes to libations at Boka: The Dealers Choice. You select a spirit and a flavor or two and let the mixologist work their craft. It's beyond amazing.

Arguably the best meal of my life thus far. Also, take a look at the decorations on the wall.

Expect the whimsical (an eel terrine and grilled baby octopus with Korean short ribs ), the decadent (foie gras with grilled bananas in a baking-spice gastrique), and everything in between. Read more

Possibly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Beef tartare is a must. Really inventive flavors and texture.

The tasting menu was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Definitely worth going to for a special occasion .

Although I hear the menu will soon be changing, the tuna sashimi and korokke with whipped avocado is absolutely delicious. Also, try an "Old Money" cocktail . My favourite on the cocktail menu !

Incredible tasting menu hitting all sorts of flavors, textures and aromas. A solid choice for a special occasion .

Lovely staff , delicious food and a total experience! Try octopus and duck . We fell in love with the wine from reserved list!

The food is delicious, especially the grilled octopus appetizer and the trout entree. The service is outstanding.

Mediterranean and Asian tastes meld in snapper carpaccio or pho w/ duck + bigoli. Get peanut butter semifreddo for dessert . – Green Guide Editor

Being right next door to Alinea can be quite daunting, but Boka does not disappoint. Fantastic service, excellent tasting menu , and at a fraction of the price. Try the Alaskan Halibut .

Although the selection of à la carte dishes are all worthy of your palate, consider opting for the pricier Grand Tasting Menu for a peek into the creative mind of Chef Guiseppe Tentori. - Inspector

Grilled Hokkaido Scallops (uni, cherry tomato , tarragon )

A special place with memories. Very high quality dishes. I love the decor after the renovation. Will definitely go back.

Iced Irish Coffee (jameson, la colombe cold brew , tonka)

Renovation looks good. Don't miss the octopus , the fluke and the chicken is surprisingly delicious.

The beautiful outdoor patio is particularly charming, with brick walls, white-flowered trees and simple but elegant black iron-wrought chairs. Read more

If Tomasz is working the bar make sure to order a #Tomcat - phenomenal Mezcal based cocktail that is not on the menu

Carrot salad and chicken was great. Also had the cheesecake for dessert . Beautiful inside.

Tasting menu is incredible. The best are the desserts and Foie Gras .

Truly wonderful appetizer and presentation. I had the duck and it was perfectly cooked.

Unbelievable food, fantastic service, this will be a meal you won’t forget!

Chef Giuseppe Tentori is a Charlie Trotter protege and a James Beard nominated chef whose dedication to seasonal and sustainable products has become a trademark of his inventive dishes.

Must-try cocktail : Weston. This drink’s components read like a snapshot of its creator’s day off: Four Roses bourbon , strong coffee syrup , and pipe tobacco.

Slow Cooked Halibut (cauliflower , seaweed , roasted clam broth, vadouvan)

all is great! Ricotta dumplings is the best ????

The friendliest and most attentive service around! Great food at very small, fancy quantities.

They mastered attention to details, fabulous food.

Everything on menu is delicious. Try GRILLED BABY OCTOPUS and BEEF TENDERLOIN . You won't regret.
