Bomboa

 Some friends and I decided to take advantage of Bomboa's three
 course dinners that they serve M-F until 7PM.  You get a choice
 of 3 appetizers, 3 entrees and 2 desserts.  It was listed as
 being $24.50 in the paper but actually was only $22 and definitely
 worth it.  We all got the baby greens salad which was interesting
 with pine nuts and some fruit in it and a nice dressing.  The
 other choices were cucumber soup and steak tartare.  I had skate
 and it was delicious.  It was advertised as scampi but didn't
 seem that garlicky and the butter was more beurre blanc and it
 seemed like there was some truffle oil on the plate, but I'm not
 an expert in these things.  It was lightly fried, served over
 mashed potatoes and tiny round things that we couldn't figure out
 what they were.  Two people got the hanger steak with fries and one
 person got chicken and everyone was very happy with their choices.
 Two of us got the excellent ginger creme brulee and two got a
 chocolate cake.  Service was good.  The other split a bottle of
 Coppola wine that seemed to pass the test.  The lounge area is
 swanky with its zebra striped seats.  The main dining room is not
 as funky, but pleasant nonetheless.  If you want an early dinner,
 I'd definitely recommend their prix fixe.
