It is the latest development at the site of the iconic hotel, which has undergone an extensive refurbishment reported to have cost millions of pounds.
The launch of Boka comes more than four months after plans for the restaurant were first revealed.
At the time of the announcement in April, the luxury hotel teased that Boka could be open from May, though the official opening took place on August 12.
