This place sparked my interest because I was looking for pretty cocktails and they had the pictures to match. Well! They don’t have a bartender until 5pm so don’t go there anytime before that if you like cocktails with your meal. The ambiance was nice and they have pretty good music playing which is always a plus.

My Friday night go to. I actually always get carry out and have yet to dine in. One thing that really sets The BAO apart is the attention to detail they put into their dishes. The service is also top-notch. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they always make sure I have everything I need. Definitely recommend!

I was extremely pleased to see an establishment not using one use plastics, kudos on that decision. Paper straws and wooden spoons! We were greeted with a smile, left with one on our faces and satiated. The food was really fun and tasted great. The decor was sophisticated. The service excellence. The drink choices fun and savvy. One of my favorite dishes is soft shell crab and theirs was well prepared and made me want more. Wasn’t crazy about the fried spring roll. On the weekends do make a reservation. Bon appetite.

It’s ok. The place smelled like a restroom. The wait staff were all over the place despite it actually not being busy. The food was ok. Our main dishes were ok but I would say the lobster tacos were mostly spicy mayo and chips. Kind of disappointing. The waiter forgot a drink with the combo dish but when we reminded him he added on the bill. The combo comes with a drink. But we had to ask for things multiple times including the check. This place is a skip for us or maybe just go for cocktails.

They didnt seem to be too excited about African American patrons….First time there…Spent around $245.00. My wife made reservations ahead of time and expressed that this occassion was to celebrate my brothers wedding. None of that was acknowledged or mentioned once they’d arrived. Food was marginally different and unique but not bad. Upon leaving no one said thank you, goodbye, please come back. It was if we’d never dined there. So I prefer to just leave it that way for future eating adventures.

Very relaxing place to eat. The server was very nice and informative and the food was really good, I went for my cousin’s birthday party. If you want a calming and quiet place to eat, go here

I understand that the food has been eaten but it was because I was so lost in how good the food was. To the left are the spring rolls. Very affordable but it took the prize for tasting extremely delicious. The Combo BOA 2 was to the right and the food was tasty. I truly recommend this place as a “must try”. The service was exceptional and they were able to make accommodations for our table (went from 4 to 6 people).
