Jessie and I like to celebrate our year's end by having a nice lunch on Ocean Avenue right before Christmas. Last year we treated ourselves to cocktails and sushi at Tengu (which consequently closed down), and this year we decided to have a nice lunch at BOA. I have read mixed reviews about BOA, as most people say the steaks suck, so I was a bit hesitant to try it out. However, their sandwiches looked invited, so I decided to give it a go.
I started my lunch with a glass of 2007 Orin Swift's "The Priso
ner" Zinfandel/Cabernet, which was terrific. It was nice and dry, with a nice vanilla finish. It went perfectly with my American Kobe Beef Brisket (aka BBQ) sandwich.Overall, the food was just aight. I wasn't blown away. I wasn't disappointed. But for a 30 dollar lunch (with cocktail in tow). The "J-1" (don't ask I had no idea what it meant either) sauce on the sandwich was a bit overwhelming, which made the sandwich messy and hard to eat, and it could have used more cole slaw, but the meat was tender, and I loved the french fries, so it was all in all an okay meal.
Next year: Fancy Pre-Christmas Lunch at the Ivy.
