BOKAGUÁ

“The food was excellent, and Dionisio provided outstanding service. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and offered excellent menu recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. His professionalism and friendly demeanor made our visit especially enjoyable. We greatly appreciated his service and look forward to returning.”

“Absolutely stunning atmosphere. My friend and I couldn't stop taking pictures because everything looked so stunning. Our waiter Carla was so attentive and welcoming, she recommended the Mango Tonic which was our favorite drink. WE LOVED HER SO MUCH and we will definitely come back with a nigher group. 10/10 recommended if you love to take cute pictures”

“Carla, Carla, Carla! Is it even possible to get better service? She fixed our table, picked up my jacket off the floor, and recommended the best dishes on the menu. Pictured are the “Sancocho Wontons”, and “Lobster Fried Rice”, not pictured is the short rib. Truly amazing service, 12/10 recommend! I think I just became a regular..”

“Eduardo was our server. Very attentive but it was not very busy when I arrived with my party (2 other people). At times I did have to wait a while for my drinks especially after a large party arrived The sancocho wontons are a flavor bomb. I love the flavor of the pork and the crunchiness of the wonton. Well balanced. Their sancocho sauce is amazing and you got small bites of tangerine that just simply go with all the flavors. The Korean wings were pretty good as well. I will say the meat is slightly dry but good sauce ratio. The avocado crema served with it is definitely a nice touch. The short rib with the sweet plaintain puree is to die for. Absolutely exceptional. The meat is so tender and just goes so well with the puree. And the chayote salad served on the side is a nice palate cleanser. The sirloin was cooked so well and it has a nice char to it and not overly charred. I asked for it medium well but when I received it was a little over but none the less still very good. The garlic rice that it is served with wasn’t my favorite. My rice was under cooked. Also ordered the tostones and the yanikeke. Both very good especially the tostones. Overall I would come back because the food is very delicious. Ordered the coconut margarita and the mango margarita. Well balanced drinks. My wife ordered the lychee martini which is always a great choice. Spent about $500 between 3 people and 10 drinks between all 3.”

“Bokagua is a beautiful restaurant with a lovely aesthetic. It is a small space but well managed. I came for a birthday dinner reservation. There were some standout moments from the dining experience and a few let downs. The initial greeting and seating by our host was awkward. There was a bit of a rushed feeling with each server that created more awkward moments. I did enjoy most of the dishes especially the Sancocho wontons which was a creative take on the classic dish. The oxtail samosas were exceptional as well. My least favorite for lack of flavor and construction was the Dominican Spaghetti which in fact was not spaghetti. I typically don’t go into much detail regarding my dislike for foods and service details but for such a large bill, these details should be shared. I was not informed there would be a $80 “large” party fee for my table of 6 and I tipped on tip of this fee because it was not disclosed. I dined at another restaurant tonight with the same guest number and was not charged a fee. I found it to be unnecessary especially since we couldn’t even get water refills until the end of our meal. The attention of the staff was lacking to be deserving of an additional fee. Complaints aside the experience was decent and worth the a try at least.”
