We ate (well...kinda) at Boma on Saturday. The hostess and server both said "be sure to save room for dessert!" - DH, DD & I figured this must be code for "you won't like much, there's always dessert!"
I know many of you love this restaurant and rave about it and I'm happy you do, but our review is
yuck. Unless you like unique food, you'll be joining the rest of us eating off the children's food section. We started doing a visual survey and got the giggles...I swear that 40% of the adults were eating the kids stuff! I must admit they had very good prime rib, but I ate the mac and cheese, DH ate the rigatoni & meatballs and DD ate the chicken tenders and fries...all for the low price of $90! We tried, we really tried to find something we liked, but we just couldn't. Carrot and ginger soup, coconut rice (think uncle ben's meets mounds bar), watermelon rind salad, oxtail stew (bones included), beef and lamb something....sorry just couldn't handle it. The desserts were ok, but nothing I'd be in a hurry to have again. We went back to our hotel later that night and ate a pizza
we were so hungry! Although it did provide us with lots of jokes through the rest of our trip!
"Normal" food eaters beware!
"Experimental" food eaters enjoy!
