Dining at Boka () tonight. We did not do the tasting menu. Chose to just order off the menu. I have to say the place did not have a Michelin feel. It was good but did not live up to what I would expect from a 1.
Service was fine. The waiter was friendly and explained the menu well. Wine service was poor. Wine glasses were basic. Refills were not timely from the bottle.
On to the food.
We only had two courses. We shared the ricotta gnudi. These were amazing. Ricotta filled dumplings with a sweet corn and peppercorn sauce. They were great. We also shared the whole dry aged duck which was really only the carved breasts and felt a bit Thanksgiving like. The crust was a bit salty which maybe should be expected considering the aging. It came with some duck sausage, green beans, parsnips, and a peach chutney. It was very good but not great. Maybe the tasting menu would have been a better experience. I would eat here again but I wouldn’t go out of my way to

We felt the same way, we went there last December and did not feel like a Michelin star at all, food was decent but forgettable, I couldn’t even tell you what we had…
At a glance…Schrader is a monster wine, and should have been decanted. Also, that wine stain down the middle of the bottle is another sign of a wine service error.
