Problem: I really enjoyed the banana pudding. The coconut shrimp was awesome. My favorite entree was the lobster bisque which I ate the next day. Most importantly the service was immaculate. Julie was an excellent server; she answered all of my questions concerning the menu and kept the drink refills on tap. On the other hand, the seafood gumbo's roux needs a little work. Very thin and void of flavor. Five star nonetheless.

Problem: Highly recommend. This is my second time here and I see #3 on the way. I've had the (bistec encebollado & arroz imperial with shrimp "no melted cheese") I do recommend both plates. Next time I will try (ropa vieja) Great service! Ask for Kelly.

Problem: I was excited to visit Caffe Boa as friends of mine who work in Tempe eat there occasionally and told me how delicious the food was, but all in all, our experience left us all dissatisfied. I was impressed with the happy hour, but we were unable to sit in the tiny (I mean tiiiny) bar area. We happily sat in the dining area instead, and by the time we were seated (which took longer than necessary) I was absolutely starving and looking forward to the wonderful meal that was promised. My pasta dish was just ok, and honestly, service was awful-and I worked in the industry while in school. It takes A LOT for me to be dissatisfied with a server as I understand how demanding a job in the restaurant industry can be-but this was just slow and dissapointing. Our server was obviously flustered, and didn't even bother to make eye contact with any of us sitting at the table. The over-all feeling we were left with was rush-rush-rushed. Drink refills took forever, as did getting our check at the end of dinner. We left Boa and my friends (the same who went on and on about how good this restaurant was) were just baffled. They were even more let down than I, and I doubt ANY of us will go rushing back for a mediocre, pricey dinner where the server treats you like you're just one more damn thing they have to do. Since business and friends bring me to this area of town quite often, I look forward to trying out other eateries on Mill before ever retreating back to this let down.

Problem: ATMOSPHERE: Clean booth seating, which is nice since it allows some privacy from table to table. Huge. Very nice inside. Casual atmosphere. Would be good for groups. FOOD: LOTS of variety. Good selection of food with a fruit/sweets station, baked dessert, 3 entree sections, and sushi bar. They also had unique selection such as frog legs and raw oysters. A carving board with what looked like roast beef and crab legs. My favorites were the squid salad (not fried squid), seaweed salad, and the white fish dish - forget what it was. There were a lot of fried items which I tried to avoid but also many non-fried dishes as well. Sushi was average but not bad. Other than that nothing else too weird. The baked desserts were a bit dry, which included carrot cake. They do serve pudding and soft serve ice cream - yum. Nothing seemed liked it was sitting out too long or not fresh except for maybe the cake. SERVICE: Very good. Server was prompt and polite. No complaints. PARKING: Plenty of parking available in shopping plaza parking lot. PERKS: You do get a $5 off next purchase of 2 meals upon leaving. Dinner's not too pricey considering what you get at $15. CONCLUSION: Nice place with good food and service. I like!
