Boga Boga — Restaurant in Santo Domingo

My family and I dined here for dinner. We enjoyed some drinks appetizers and a meal. Parking is available free of charge and with plenty of room. The restaurant is very nice with comfortable seating. The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for a business brunch or meeting with friends. The wine list is extensive and there is something for everyone. The bartender knows how to make a fantastic Martini. The appetizers were very delicious such as the croquettes, fresh sliced Jamon Iberico, Braised Pulpo and Calamari. Every appetizer was prepared fresh and delicious. My family ordered the Paella with seafood. I did enjoy having some as the rice was delicious, however I feel the seafood aspect of the dish could have used some more flavor. Overall still a great dish that can feed the entire table. I myself had the 16 oz Tenderloin with mashed potatoes. It was prepared as I desired medium and had a lovely flavor. I can't complain. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. For a table of 5 people and a child the bill came out to 21,000 RD. Overall this restaurant is a fantastic option for really good food in a...

Boga Boga was fantastic in every way. We went there for my fiancees birthday and the service was supreme - what you would expect from a five star restaurant. Every single food item we had - artichokes, ham, mushrooms, and the black ink seafood paella - were astounding. Best Spanish food I've ever had and one of the best dining experiences. Although there was a language barrier because my Spanish is not great, the staff really listened intently. We love red wine and were interested in something bold, spicy, perhaps mineral notes, full bodied, rich, etc. The waiter had to work through a language gap and still worked through several wines to give what we want. Dude pulls out a 17 year Tempranillo called Protos that blew our minds. It even looked like it was plundered from a sunken ship. We had a separate wine expert as some upscale restaurants have and he helped pick and discuss it with us. They let us keep the bottle and it is our favorite souvenir from the Dominican. They gave a wooden box and signed it. Phenomenal way to spend a birthday and a wonderful memory from a...

Boga Boga is hands down a great place for food, I would say the best food I have experienced in my 63 countries! But if you are a businesswoman you should think twice about your attendance at this restaurant alone! The waiters are exceptional and the staff is great for the most post part! But if you are truly there simply trying to unwind as a businesswoman hang it up! Order your food to go unless Jose is serving you! The men in this place are rude and very piggish if you are a foreigner! They lack respect!! Nothing against the restaurant but they should be mindful of the people that are “regulars”. The regular people are running away business professionals!! Not all but some are rude and arrogant to say the least! As a veteran sergeant I am dissatisfied and disappointed that some of the old heads are rude and feel prideful to think you owe them conversation when you are simply trying to enjoy your Great cuisine! Remember the food is exceptional but order to go if you...
