BOKA, short for “bold, original kitchen artistry,” is located in the Hotel 1000 and is a great spot for a business or gal-pal lunch, as well as a pre- or post-theatre dinner. The sleek interior has a loungy vibe and digitally controlled lighting that changes color to create a sexy, slightly disco sensation. It's a good destination for a casual meal, but doesn't quite measure up to its name. The self-described “urban American food” has a seasonal focus and is best ordered as a light meal or wallet-friendly happy hour. Hand-crafted cocktails and a good selection of wines by the glass pair nicely with truffle fries and an order of ahi poke (diced sushi grade ahi, spicy ponzu marinade and avocado) served with taro chips. The smoked seafood chowder features clams, mussels, salmon, cod and brioche croutons. Salads, always a good lunch option, can be ordered with a chicken breast, shrimp skewer, or hot smoked salmon. For dinner, consider the juicy BOKA burger topped with Beecher’s cheddar or chicken that has been pan-roasted under a brick. For a late-night sweet, consider a "liquid dessert" such as the chocolate martini with burnt honey, and a vanilla bean crème brûlée.
