Hear from our valued guests
We recently dined at Bora Restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you are looking for a spot that nails both the aesthetic and the flavors, this is it.
First time coming here from Washington DC on Thanksgiving day and the atmosphere is very cozy, and their seasonal menu has a great selection. We got the turkey meatball with orange cranberry sauce, and they were the most tender meatballs we’ve had. Our bartender Dion was first class. Very interactive and kind. The apple pie old fashion was great, and my wife got the pumpkin spice espresso martini which was full of flavor. Looking forward to coming back.
Had a really nice experience at Bora Restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was friendly, and the food came out fresh and well-prepared. It’s a great spot for a relaxed dinner or drinks, and I’d definitely come back.
My husband took me here last night as an early birthday celebration. It was our first time there and we had such a wonderful time at the wine tasting event. Wine and food pairing were excellent!! Decor was amazing. We enjoyed it all. We also had the best servers! Nicole and Presley were both sweet and attentive. We will definitely be returning!
We were in the mood to try out a new restaurant so we quickly found this spot. We had never been here and did not know what exactly to expect, but I can tell you that we were definitely not disappointed. Our server Presley was absolutely fantastic. She made recommendations off the menu and help guide us through the perfect culinary experience. We tried the Brie raspberry special of the week and it was one of the best things that we have ever eaten. This dish could easily be a dessert or an appetizer. In fact, I would be inclined to order it for both. The perfect start and finish to a dinner. The drinks were also excellent. I tried a couple of different cocktails and wasn’t disappointed on any of them. My main dish was very good and Jared my husband loved his tuna tartare. We will definitely be back to try out more of the menu and are super excited to know that they change the specials every single week always with a seasonal focus. Thanks to everyone at the restaurant for a great date night. I highly recommend you all check this place out.
A fantastic place - beautifully decorated, cozy, lively, good music, friendly staff - it’s such a vibe. The food and drinks are amazing. We had such a great time here. Simply blown away.
Excellent restaurant. It had a high-end feel, The food was very good and well cooked, you could see the details the chef put into the plate. The atmosphere was very good. 10 out of 10. Very cozy, intimate, yet fun! The service was also good, genuine, conventional, but not invasive. Staff seemed happy to be at work!
Great people, great food in an incredible atmosphere, they made the most of my birthday dinner. (1st visit) Definitely my favorite place in the area
We went last night and the service was outstanding, shout out to Hana (not sure of spelling) the hostess she was fantastic…it was extremely busy with some wait time even with reservations but she continually checked in with us and they even gave us a free round of drinks! We were happy to see the staff was just as great as the decor. I think our waiter’s name was Pavel (table 4) and he was great too! As was the food. We liked that it did not feel like you were sitting on top of one another/squeezed in like some other restaurants do so even with the very busy friday night around the holidays it still felt intimate & cozy. Highly recommend!
I was in Brookfield purchasing a car. The sales associate and I were discussing our favorite burger places and, not having eaten yet, I asked for a recommendation. He wholeheartedly recommended Bora Restaurant. I followed his advice and was not disappointed! Do not judge the book by its cover. It looks plain and unassuming on the outside and took me a few seconds to spot it. (No pic, as I was distracted by my new car!) The inside was nicely appointed. Perhaps too many fake flowers, but maybe not. They seemed to work and add color. I went at 4 pm on a Saturday, so between lunch and dinner. There were people, but no crowds or noise. All I wanted was a good burger. And I got it! I ordered the House Burger: (6 oz?) Marbled Wagyu Beef, Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Bacon, Red Onion, Toasted Brioche, and Special Burger Sauce on the side. (Truthfully, I included all that for your benefit. I only wanted the burger, bacon, and bun with ketchup on the side.) It was delicious! I did manage to snap a pic before I descended upon it like a ravenous Serengeti carnivore... with a modicum of decorum so as not to scare the other guests. The service was fast and friendly and the prices reasonable. This is the sort of place I would like to return to in order to try some of their finer dishes!
