Delicious!! We had an organized dinner for a party of 14, and everyone was pleased with the food & service. Appetizer portions were fairly small, but delicious nonetheless... and my entree was divine. Our waiter was very attentive, helpful & efficient (esp considering the size of our group). Will definitely be returning!!

Service was cheerful, attentive and unintrusive. Decor was calming colourful, seating was in open area opposite bar, noise level OK and lighting comfortable. Pleasant informal dining for four. Some wines priced OK - others not. Nice glasses. Street parking is iffy.
- Order: Mussels w/stuffed chicken, mango stilton salad w/ gorgonzola tenderloin, squash salad w/red snapper, crispy scallops w/steak

The first time I visited Boo's was for dinner; at that time everything was excellent- food, service, atmosphere all top notch.
My last 2 visits were for lunch and I was very disappointed due to the poor servce. Both times my party were made to wait overlong first to order, then for our meals, then again for the cheque, and then again for the change. On one occasion the waitress brought a dish that was not ordered by us, then argued with us about it before taking it away, and was rude for the remained of our stay.
I would return to Boo's simply because the food is excellent, but if in short time the poor service outweighs the good food I won't keep going.

We dine our quite often and both agree this is one of the most enjoyable meals we have had in a very long time. Everything we ordered was fantastic. Fresh and full of flavour, LOTS of flavour. As per recommendations on this site we were anxious to try the chili shrimp, but it was no longer on the menu. Our waiter had the chef prepare is special for us and also brought a sample of the coconut shrimp. The chili shrimp was amazing!! Our beef main courses were also great. Cooked to perfection, plated beautifully and tasted amazing. The only one small negative, we found the restaurant to be very loud. Next time we will reserve a seat close to the front window instead of in the middle. Can't wait for the next special occasion to return!!
- Order: chili shrimp, coconut shrimp, caesar salad, mango salad, spicy tenderloin, steak
- Lunch menu very appealing!

I really enjoyed my take out from here, the beef dish with wide noodles was fabulous, LOVE wide noodles and loved the sauce.
Am interested to try lunch again, as they lunch menu appeals to me way more then the dinner menu. Good lunch prices too for food quality.
And the girl there gave me a free drink and was really sweet!

Had heard rave reviews so was eager to try. Main courses were delicious, as was the sauce for the mussels. Other appetizers veered towards skimpy (figs were literally a couple of bites) and odd (Caesar salad was presented as whole leaves). Shrimp sauce tasted/looked like bottled sweet spring roll sauce so was disappointing. Presentation was very stylish: all square white plates dashed with artistic dribbles and over-sized wine glasses. Deserts were excellent. Decor is lovely: candlelit and modern. Place was quite busy and had a good buzz but female server could have been faster and more attentive. All in all, a good meal and experience, well worth checking out.
- Order: chili shrimp, mussels, chicken supreme, ancho beef, etc.
