The foie gras eclair is outstanding. The pâte à choux dough has a wonderful texture and holds just the right amount of a delectable foie gras filling. The corn kernels add a lingering, sweet finish to each bite. Next time, I will get my own.

Boka serves creative, contemporary American food using seasonal Midwestern ingredients in an elegant but non-formal setting. There are different dining sections, a bar area, two main dining rooms, and a cozy back patio open during good weather. The cocktail and wine program is strong and they have citrus or herbal house-made sodas. The sound level is conducive to conversation with adequate lighting, depending on the table.
A notable dish is the duck entree (for two) that comes with an array of sides of the duck used in different ways. There is a seasonal tasting menu if you wish to let the kitchen build your meal. The dessert menu has special beverages, cheese, and desserts ranging from savory to sweet.
