FAQ
Q: When are you open?
A: Every day 5:30pm - 10:00pm
Q: Where are you? How can we find you?
A: We are located at 5205 NE 2nd Ave, Miami FL 33127 in the Bravo Supermarket Plaza. You can find us under the neon pink exclamation point next to the Coin Laundromat.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: We are a very small restaurant and late cancellations/no-shows GREATLY affect the flow of service. Guests who reserve and do not extend the courtesy of canceling ahead of time in order to allow for other guests to have the opportunity to join us will be charged a fee.
Guests will have up to 3 hours before their reservation time to cancel before incurring a cancellation charge of $20 per person. You should receive a confirmation text at 12pm the day before your reservation, and a follow-up at 12pm the same day of your reservation if you have not yet confirmed or cancelled. Please reach out to us via email at info@boiaderestaurant.com if you do not receive confirmation texts.
Q: If I can't make it, can I sell my reservation?
A: No. If we find reservations for sale on 3rd party websites, we will cancel them without question. We are small and are doing our best to make the reservation process fair for everyone.
Q: Am I allowed to bring my dog with me?
A: We are a very small restaurant and ask that all dogs, with the exception of service dogs, stay at home. We have a handful of tables on our patio that we are happy to accommodate our furry friends based on availability, but we cannot guarantee space.
Q: What is your corkage policy?
A: Our policy allows for guests to bring up to 2 750ml bottles each with a $45 per bottle corkage fee. The wines cannot be already featured on the wine list, which can be found under the menu section on our website. For parties of 4 or less, for each bottle purchased, the corkage fee will be waived.
Q: How can I make a reservation?
A: Guests can make reservations via the Resy booking platform at https://resy.com/cities/mia/boia-de or by downloading the Resy app! We always recommend to guests the “notify” feature on Resy, as we get numerous same-day cancellations, which let’s anyone on the notify list know of the availability.
Q: I don’t see any availability on Resy. Do you have anything available?
A: All of the reservation availability is listed on Resy. If you don’t see anything there, it means we are fully booked. If you don’t see a reservation for the time you want, feel free to try to come as a walk-in!
Q: Do you accept walk-ins?
A: We do reserve some seats for walk-ins. These and any openings from cancellations are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Q: What is the max number of guests that can be booked for reservation?
A: For indoor dining, we are only accepting parties of four or less. We are a small restaurant, so it is quite difficult to accommodate more. Parties larger than four are accommodated at our outdoor dining area.
Q: Is there a dress code?
A: We have no dress code! Please be respectful, but come as you are.
Q: How does seating work?
A: We have both indoor and outdoor seating available. We have tables and counter seating in our dining room. Seating will be assigned based on availability with table priority going to larger parties. If you have a specific seating request, please let us know with a note when reserving your table on Resy. We will do our best to accommodate you.
Q: I’m running late! Can I still be seated for my reservation?
A: It depends on how late you are running for your reservation. Normally, guests are allotted between 1.5 to 2 hours at their seats for a reservation, so if we believe that your arrival time is too late to be able to ensure that you and your dining partner(s) will be able to have a full and comfortable dining experience, you may have to forfeit your seat(s) in order to honor the following reservation or be moved to the waitlist.
Q: Do you offer gift certificates?
A: Yes! Please send us an email at info@boiaderestaurant.com to purchase and coordinate pickup. We also offer the option to prepay for a guest’s portion of the bill, the entire bill, or specific items such as a round of drinks or a bottle of wine. Please email us if you would like to fill out a prepay form with the guest’s reservation name and time and someone will assist you!
Q: What are your Gluten Free/Vegan Options?
A: As our restaurant is based on seasonality and availability, our menu options for gluten-free/celiac or vegan diners will vary. Currently, certain items such as the Crispy Polenta and Luci’s Chopped Salad can have cheese omitted, and we are able to make a vegan pasta, but more often than not, the items on the menu are not meant to be significantly altered or modified to accommodate dietary restrictions. Please email us prior to your reservation to inquire about our gluten-free and/or vegan options, or other items that can accommodate dietary restrictions.
Q: Do you have a kids menu?
A: We don’t have a kids menu, but we can make simple pasta dishes with butter sauce or tomato sauce.
Q: Do you deliver or take orders to go?
A: No. We are dine-in only.
Q: Are your outdoor tables covered in case it rains?
A: We make sure all of our tables stay dry on rainy days. They are placed under a wide covered awning extending from the building.
