Can anyone recommened a nice restaurant that serves Steak/Seafood. My friends recommended the BOA steakhouse but i found reviews to be not so good. Ideas? Wed Jan 23 15:14:21 -0800 2008 122639 waxfondler 1 3325847 I have always enjoyed Hollywood Boa's steaks; the Santa Monica Boa gets shot down alot on this board but I have never been. Wed Jan 23 16:04:59 -0800 2008 3325633 11732 Ciao Bob 2 3325894 I completely agree -- I really like the Boa in Hollywood.

There's also Jar, which is maybe a mile away, on Beverly Blvd. Wed Jan 23 16:15:54 -0800 2008 3325633 14819 cookie monster 1 3325916 Right near the hotel is the fabulous new Amarone Kitchen and Wine http://la.eater.com/archives/2007/10/23/the_dish_amarone_kitchen_wine.php Wed Jan 23 16:23:51 -0800 2008 3325633 11732 Ciao Bob 1 3326209 I really love the steak at Hollywood Boa but the room is really small and very loud. Another good but not great steakhouse is the Dakota at the Roosevelt which is about 2 miles east of your hotel. Great ambience and large room if you want to talk and catch up with your friends. Last time we went there we saw Warren Beatty and his wife at one table, Marilyn Manson and his girlfriend at another table. Talk about diverse.

If not, the world opens up to you, if only within a few miles. Drive to Jar! You could also just to go Dan Tana's. Thu Jan 24 08:20:53 -0800 2008 3325633 42095 yogachik
