Summary: Three elegant dining rooms frame a seasonal menu with coastal hints and a bold cocktail program.

Boka presents three elegant dining rooms that form a chic, intimate space anchored by a stylish bar and a candlelit private garden patio. The venue showcases a seasonal menu with shifting offerings and an option for tasting menus, along with a la carte choices.
