Why Every Lifestyle Influencer Loves Katana West Hollywood

Hi lovelies,

I had an amazing girls night this past Friday night with one of my lovely BFFs who’s also a lifestyle influencer.

The first thing that we noticed about Katana, a hotspot in West Hollywood with an enviable menu and super yummy drinks, was the friendly staff and sleek ambiance located on the heart of Sunset Blvd with an amazing view of LA’s coveted skyline.

The next thing that we noticed was the new Vegan Omakase menu that we were dying to try. My favorite dishes were the Roasted Cauliflower, Miso Eggplant, and Grilled Corn along with the Organic Kale Salad, and the Assorted Vegan Nigri.

But it wouldn’t be a complete girls night without delicious cocktails. We sipped on Lychee Cocktails and the Roxberry cocktail was also one of our favorites.

We danced in our seats to the beats by the DJ and enjoyed the warm rooftop breeze of a summer night in L.A., while catching up and laughing the night away.

I’m officially obsessed with the Kobe Pepper skewers and we ordered two extra rolls of the Kani Maki creamy baked crab wrapped in soy paper!

We can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

Why Every Lifestyle Influencer is Flocking to BOA Steakhouse

Hi lovelies,

There was no better way to celebrate Grammy’s weekend than with my best friend who happened to be in town from San Francisco and with the delicious food and amazing drinks at BOA Steakhouse West Hollywood.

That’s why I wanted to share with you three reasons why BOA Steakhouse is my new go-to restaurants for special events, cozy intimate dinners, and just catching up on cocktails with friends.

Ready for a decadent night of dining and drinks? Then head over to BOA Steakhouse and let me know how your night goes!

Don’t forget to join them on Instagram, here.

3 Reasons to Visit BOA Steakhouse

THE AMBIANCE
The moment you walk into BOA Steakhouse you’re automatically transformed into the mood for luxury dining experience. The music is perfect with great lighting, a friendly staff, and an aroma of decadent food in the air.

THE FOOD
The menu is endless from premium steak, oysters, crab legs, ribs, and perfect sides from mashed potatoes, asparagus, veggies, scallops, and more. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Plus, the surf and turf options are to die for and I can’t wait to go back and try everything else on the menu, especially the desserts.

THE DRINKS
My favorite was the BOA Infusion Signature Cocktail that literally tastes like a delicious watermelon jolly rancher in a glass. My other go-to cocktail was the Clean Cocktail, which is a smoother version of a mojito with mint and cucumber. My bestie loved the Old Fashioned and also got the dirty martini, extra dry with blue cheese olives - and of course, I tasted on his cocktails too. I’m looking forward to trying the Blackberry Smash the next time I swing by.
