Boketto

Came for restaurant week so we could try a lot of the menu for a more affordable price! The restaurant is very clean, classy, and cool. I really liked the vibe of the place. The music was a bit loud, but fun. My husband and I had to yell over the music a bit to talk 🙃but we were seated right under a row of speakers. The restaurant was pretty busy, but the staff handled it ok. The service was a little slow, but the staff were great and very detailed. The hot lemongrass towels were very nice and the way they bring new silverware felt fancy! We tried the French onion soup (3.5/5, it was very tasty, but not the best I have had), crab cake (4.5/5, very tasty! The herbs were bright and delicious), the lobster roll (3.0/5, the bread was the best part, I think I prefer a butter lobster roll and not all the celery and dill. Tasted nice, light and interesting though! ),the fries were incredible and my husband liked the steak frites. The sushi roll we got was also really good! The deserts were both very good, we had the chocolate salted Carmel lava cake and the carrot cake. The sauce on the carrot cake was a bit sour for me (my husband loved it). The lava cake was amazing. I would definitely like to come back for a special occasion!

We recently took a trip to Boketto and had a fabulous time. As you walk in, the decor gives you the feeling of being at a restaurant in Florida, Vegas, or another larger city. The restaurant has a modern, clean feel with comfortable seating and great lighting to set the mood. We were seated right away, and our main server, Tanner, was fantastic. He went over the menu, provided recommendations, and shared interesting information about the location. He also introduced us to our secondary server, Victoria, who was equally amazing. We started with their dragon fruit sangria, which had a presentation that was a work of art, as well as their Vesper martini that would make you feel like an instant 00 agent. The whiskey pear smash was incredibly tasty and vanished in seconds, so I recommend ordering it cautiously. We also tried their beer made by Bent Paddle, which was very refreshing. Since we had visited a few other places that day, we decided to share and sample different dishes. We began with edamame, which was nothing special. Next, we ordered the truffle fries, which were incredibly delicious with the perfect amount of salt, seasoning, and cheese. We then tried one of each of their sushi rolls. Their signature roll came last, and someone touched it, giving it a wonderful grilled flavor. Overall, our experience was great, and we will definitely return to try more items on their menu. Thank you, Tanner and Victoria, for making it an amazing evening! There is plenty of parking in the ramp where the movie theater is located, so there's no need to worry about parking.

Overall it was a great experience! The service was great! They gave us the option of sparkling or flat water, from a bottle and chilled! They cleared the table after appetizers, the plates and forks and everything then they wiped down the dirty areas and brought out new silverware before serving the entree. The food was quite good. The steak was hands down the best most buttery thing we ever had. The sides were a little clunky and had too much oil, or cheese or crisp, but decent. The appetizers were quite good! They had a great selection wine and although I didn’t try any, they had very creative cocktails. The atmosphere was great! So cute and chic I really enjoyed it. And they had hand towels instead of paper towels in the bathroom! Certainly fancy and if you want to impress someone, this is the place.

Came to Boketto on a recommendation and didn't disappoint. Beautiful interior with modern decor, mixture of navy blue and red chair seats and silver light fixtures. Nicely laid out with plenty of room between tables. Started off with bar drinks and the fruit mojito was nicely done and refreshing. We each had a Cesar salad which was huge and tasty. Ordered a side of their baguette which was warm, lightly buttered and complimented the salad. For our main entrees I had the chicken and sausage rigatoni which was tremendous. The sauce was great and a nice touch to make it even more delicious they added yellow bell peppers. So, please note if you don't like peppers this will not be for you but for those who enjoy an excellent Italian meal with peppers you will love it! My guest had the CAP steak with the whipped potatoes which she said was nicely prepared and tasty. To top everything off I had their creme brulee which was about twice the size of what you would normally see at a fine dining establishment. It was wonderful and I took about half of it home with me. Great service too from everyone that attended to us. Highly recommend Boketto when visiting the West End shoppes area. You won't be disappointed!

Excellent first experience. Decor is on point, especially the blue tile and chair fabric, lighting is beautiful and just the perfect amount. Service was brilliant with prompt refills on drinks. My husband loved his wine and the Diet Coke was the most perfect amount of carbonation - which really matters! We shared a wedge salad, which worked out great portion wise and the blue cheese dressing was phenomenal - I was told it is home made. I also really appreciated the finishing salt on the salad! We both ordered ribeyes and they were cooked perfectly to the right temperature and were incredibly flavorful and tasty. Best I’ve had in a long time. We ordered mushrooms and asparagus for sides. They were average and what you would expect. Overall loved our experience. The price is definitely higher than many steak houses around town but luckily the food and service made it worth it. The one thing that brought down the value of the experience was a TV screen in the bar that was fully visible in the dining room. I had to switch seats to not see it while trying to enjoy the ambiance.

5 stars – Luxury dining with flawless service, bold flavors, and thoughtful touches that made this one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in the Twin Cities. Overall Impression: I’ve had my eye on Boketto Steakhouse ever since I saw it on TikTok, and Restaurant Week gave me the perfect excuse to finally try it. From start to finish, the experience was everything I hoped for — elegant, warm, flavorful, and deeply thoughtful. It truly felt like a high-end escape, right in the heart of St. Louis Park. I genuinely forgot I was in Minnesota! Service: Hospitality here is top-tier. The moment we arrived, the host pulled out our chairs — a small gesture that makes a big impact when it comes to luxury dining. Our server, Katie, was amazing. She welcomed us with warm lemongrass-scented hand towels, which instantly set the tone for the evening. What stood out most was how accommodating she and the chef were — I’m allergic to shellfish, and my friend is vegetarian, so we asked if we could swap the preset appetizers from the Restaurant Week menu. They kindly substituted them with Japanese milk bread and bruschetta with zero hesitation. That level of care goes a long way. Food: We did the Restaurant Week $45 prix fixe, which included three courses: • Appetizers: The Japanese milk bread was heavenly — soft like angel cake but with the flavor of a light baguette. Paired with the whipped butter and bruschetta? Chef’s kiss. • Entrée: I ordered the Steak Frites (medium well), and it was perfectly cooked — juicy, well-seasoned, and crisped on the outside just enough. The fries were equally good, crispy and flavorful. • Dessert: The carrot cake was rich and moist with an amazing cream cheese layer. The only part I didn’t enjoy was the grapefruit(?) sauce on top — I’m not a fan of sour additions, but I just ate around it. The cake itself was so good. Portions were generous and felt worth the price. I left feeling satisfied but not heavy, which I loved. Ambience: The space is sleek and upscale, with a Mediterranean-meets-Asian fusion vibe that comes through in both the design and the menu. Dress code is business casual (yes, it’s listed on OpenTable and yes, it makes sense once you arrive). I saw lots of couples, dates, and small groups — it felt like the perfect setting for a special night out. You’re not just eating here, you’re experiencing it. Extras & Details: • Parking: We got dropped off, but there are nearby free parking garages if you’re driving. • Cleanliness: Every detail was considered — from clean utensils to spotless bathrooms. The bathroom even had eco-friendly hand towels instead of paper towels, which I personally appreciated. • Pricing: Outside of Restaurant Week, expect to spend $50–$75+ per person for a full meal. But honestly? Worth it.

Restaurant design is stunning. Love the accessibility, great parking for a Sunday date night. Ordered the Boketto roll, Blue fin tuna tartar. Both were so underwhelming, returned the Tuna tartar, as it was oily without flavor. Lamb chops, asked for medium but they were overcooked. Seabass was perfection, melted in your mouth. Cesar was also very fresh and well prepared. Katie our waitress listened to our feedback and made things right. Will give this place another try, maybe not on Sunday.

Had a great experience here celebrating our anniversary. Our server, Whitney, and the serving staff were very attentive to us. We arrived with rose petals on the table of a grand booth, meant for more than two. They have great complimentary items for cleansing your hands and the palette. A DJ was well blended into the dining area. The music is loud, as other reviews mention, but we did not mind and it did not take away from our experience. I do not drink alcohol. The N.A. section on the menu was limited, but the mushroom and watermelon elixirs were tasty. We had the calamari to start, followed by a bacon waygu burger with truffle fries, Brussels sprouts and lobster mac and cheese. Surprised to see other reviews mention lack of flavor because we thought all the flavors were fantastic! Especially the Brussels sprouts. Prices fair for an upscale restaurant- have been to similar priced places for less of an experience. Our server took our Polaroid photo at the end- it was a great souvenir to remember our anniversary. Already recommended this place to friends. What a great restaurant for the west end area. Will be back, thank you for your hospitality!

First of all WOW, what a gorgeous place. The ambiance and vibe is very upscale and relaxing. The decor is top notch and theyve obviously spent alot of money on this restaurant/lounge. I never like to go to a restaurant when it first opens but had a buddy's birthday dinner there and im so glad we went there. You get greeted by the host who was super nice, and the service was just top notch. Empty plates dont stay on ur table long and neither do empty glasses. My pop drink was always full and the server was very knowledgeable and helpful when asked what she recommends. The food was top notch. I wouldnt change a thing. Will 100% be back!! Overall Food & Vibe 9.3/10

Wanted to try this place since I've been hearing so much about it. I didn't have a reservation so, I sat by the bar area. When I first walked in, I noticed the area was really big. There was a lot of seating and the ambiance was dark. I will definitely book a reservation. I decided to come here last minute on a weekend during dinner so, I got seated at the bar area. There is seating right next to the bar, or a few small tables towards the side. I sat at the side table and was a bit confused as it took a while for someone to come over. It seemed like all the bartenders shared a table so different staff kept asking the same questions afterwards... I think that's something they should fix.. Other than that, for a starter I got the grilled oysters. Tastes good but the portion is disappointingly small. Wish they gave more for the price. I tried the lobster lasagna, which had brown butter, calabrian chili, and basil. It was really good! There is a hint of spice and the way it came out looked unique. Lastly, I ended up ordering the rib eye steak. I feel like you can't go wrong with a steak but it was nothing special to me. I think it's worth a try but not sure if I would return. The price is relatively expensive, but the staff is very friendly and I think this is a great place to have a drink with friends.

Wow!!! So happy to have a new elevated spot in west end. We had a reservation although no trouble to walk in since the place is still new and building awareness. Vibes are very Miami / Scottsdale with dark interior, plush velvet and understated music (until it turns over into a lounge later evening). Service was great - we were best friends with our server Luke by the end of the night! He took care of everything we needed. The bar was a little backed up so at one point drinks were delayed, however, food came out at a normal pace so no complaints there! Everything we tried was fabulous. Burrata appetizer was so good! An amazing mix of flavors in one. The truffle spaghetti was our favorite... so rich, buttery and immaculate. Paired amazing with the Japanese milk bread... a must get. The steak was great and sides were awesome, we were just full at that point ha. But again, prepared perfectly and the flavors across everything were amazing. This place was impressive, especially only having been open a little over a week. It's a must try!!! My only small complaint is it's a bit spendy but not bad for the quality and atmosphere. Can't wait to go back and try other items off the menu!

It feels like a club when you first walk in, and it is very romantic. The music was not too loud to the point where you could not hear each other. Luke, our server, was really pleasant and professional. The drink service at the table was a lovely touch. Every dish we ordered was delicious, and the serving sizes were suitable for sharing. All in all, I would return. Excellent for birthdays, anniversaries, and date nights. For our unique birthday celebration, they thoughtfully added some rose petals.

Went on their opening weekend for Dinner. Luke was our server and very knowledgeable about the dishes, cocktails, every aspect of the establishment. Unique upbeat vibes and colors, with a DJ playing music at an enjoyable level . It's a steakhouse with a whisper of Japanese elegance & a burst of Mediterranean zest. Definitely get the Lobster Mac N plus the Seafood Tower. We got a selection of chicken, Japanese milk bread, lamb chops, and just shared. Actually going back this weekend for a friend's Birthday Dinner. Will have to use the Selfie Wall this time. Follow me for more tasty adventures.

Went last night for their grand opening and loved it! This is a steakhouse with Japanese and Mediterranean influences. I love that they had sushi dishes, we all loved the Boketto roll.The service was 10/10! So much attention to detail from wiping up condensation from my drink on the table to folding your napkin up nicely when you go to the bathroom! The girls and I shared a bunch of different things from a filet mignon to truffle spaghetti. My personal faves were the goddess salad and the scallops (they may have been a smidge overcooked but still amazing)! Honestly everything was delicious and I will definitely be back. Our server Luke killed it! The interior is gorgeous and very sleek on the outside.

Boketto is truly going to be the new "IT" spot. Birthdays, girls nights, date nights...EVERYTHING! The food is incredible and the presentation of the tableside drinks are a WOW. The atmosphere reminds you of a Miami bar that's so swanky and vibey. The service is top notch...I really can't think of a single bad thing to say and am already planning my visit back!

Great service first and foremost! My server, Faith, was an awesome guide on the restaurant's fourth day of being open. Dinner was the CAB Filet with Yakinuki sauce, Asparagus with Bearnaise, and the Crème Brûlée for dessert. Drinks were a Manhattan in swanky stemware and Weller Antique 107 neat. Super fair prices on their allocated pours, one of the best in MSP. They still have details to work out, but I cannot imagine a brand new restaurant where this isn't the case. Interior is high end with Miami Beach vibes and the upbeat music reminded me of Barry's Downtown Prime in Vegas. Super cool addition to the West End food scene!

Our meal was exquisite. Our server, Cesar, was very attentive and timed everything perfectly. The music is a little loud, but maybe that is the vibe they are going for. This price tag is pretty steep, but the food was of great quality.

We thought the food was great, this place has a Miami feel with a live DJ and a beautiful aesthetic. Only down side was the service, although my server was nice and friendly.. the host staff wasn't accommodating at all, I requested a booth or a table not in the middle of a high traffic area, they called and said they saved booths for larger parties (understandable) upon arrival they sat me and my partner in the MIDDLE of the floor, I requested to be moved but they said it wasn't an option. We decided to stay because it's the new hotspot but as we enjoyed our night out the four booths infront of us was either empty or rotating parties of 2. As you can imagine it was a bit frustrating because I pacifically requested not to be seated in a high traffic area and ended up being smack dab in the middle of the dining room area. All in all the food was great, A5 wagyu AMAZING, calamari 9.5/10, short rib bao bun 8.9/10, roasted chicken breast 0/10. The dark brown gravy on the chicken was terrible but everything else was delicious.
