Steak Your Claim

Bokx 109 American Prime Opens

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Too bad flights to get there are ridonkulous.

Save the cash and head to Newton, where Bokx 109 has entered the building (the Hotel Indigo, to be precise). The swank new steakhouse can be shamelessly tagged as the Vegas-by-way-of-South-Beach scene in the suburbs.

Chef Evan Percoco crafts a full-on meatfest with his a la carte options (sourced humanely, of course), like the 173 Porterhouse from Montana’s Myers Farm, rack of lamb, duck-fat French fries, and pork ’n’ beans dotted with pork belly.

Have your VIP moment at the king’s table, which faces the dining room and a 25-foot fire pit. Or snag a spot beneath a poolside cabana to sample the stellar 300-bottle liquor collection.

Hot?

You can bet on it.

Bokx 109 American Prime, Hotel Indigo, 399 Grove Street, Newton (617-454-3399 or bokx109.com).
