Boogaloo Restaurant Review: Boogaloo has the vibe of a bar; so why is the food so good? Actually, the bar is secondary, despite its row of swings---yes, swings, which hang from the ceiling---instead of bar stools. They're a great place to linger over mojitos and martinis. (For those already slightly unstable, standard bar stools can be found in the other room.) The menu begins around New Orleans and heads south, presumably via banana boat, to cover the Caribbean and a little of South America as well. Thus, it's all Cuban sandwiches, a paella-esque seafood and rice dish and jerk chicken wings, which, by the by, are topnotch. The dining room with its pressed-tin ceiling and casual feel draws both the youngish and the hip as well as those in search of yet more of Mike Johnson's menu ideas. The fact that Johnson has a hand in other restaurants and consulting ventures in St. Louis and elsewhere hasn't dimmed his ability to create---or to teach others to re-create---his interesting and often remarkably tasty dishes. |
