Excellent food, selection, service, and ambiance. Shout out to Jimmy & Tony for always being great. The roasted cauliflower has a nice texture and warm spicy flavor, and the halibut is seared to perfection. Highly rec. the stuffed piquillos and the whipped ricotta. We very much enjoyed the decadent flavors of the limoncello cake, creme brulee, & salted caramel cheesecake.

We will definitely be returning! We visited tonight on the recommendation of a friend and they did not steer us wrong. Tonight we ordered solely from the tapas menu. We enjoyed the pub chips with blue cheese fondue, Naan bread with three types of dip, Sicilian style cauliflower and the shrimp tacos. All were delicious, but the ones that we loved the most were the cauliflower and the tacos! The normal order for the tacos is three but since there were two of us, we added an additional taco for an additional charge of $4, but totally worth it! We are already planning our next visit and are so excited to return. Jose was our server tonight and was attentive without being overbearing. He did a great job and helped us make decisions regarding our meal. We look forward to our next visit! Edited to add that on a subsequent visit, we tried the limoncello sorbet — it was a wonderful light tasting dessert and just the right finish to our meal.

Service was average. Changed our server in middle of service. Second server seemed pissed. Had appetizers and ask server if we should keep our utensils and she stated she would. We later had to ask for more to eat. For price point was not a positive experience. Food was good not great. First and last time there

Date night with the wifey, and because she likes to try places we’ve never been to before, I decided to make reservations here and I am so glad I did. The food was excellent. The plethora of flavors was amazing.

First time, last time! The venue at Boca is rather nice, however that is the only thing we enjoyed about our experience. While the service was fine, it was nothing to rave about. The food was average at best and very expensive for average. All the dishes we tried were very bland and the cocktails were not enjoyable at all. I am always very disappointed when I spend this kind of money to go out for good meal and leave knowing that everything from the steak to the cocktails would have been better if I made them myself at home. Lastly, do not take young children here as they have absolutely no options on the menu for kids.

Food was exceptional and service was even better! We stopped by about 4:45 PM and noticed that the sign said they didn’t open until 5:00 so we started to back out of the parking lot and one of the wait staff came outside and motioned for us to stop and said that we could come on in and they would be happy to take our order for drinks. We had out-of-town guest from Ohio and they were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality. BOCA is one of our favorite restaurants.
