    Went into the place and got seated. Sat for 20 minutes, nobody ever came to take our drink order. About 5 servers were standing by the bar. Waste of time

    Made reservations for New Year’s Eve and still had to wait over an hour to be seated. Once we got a table they seated us right by the bathroom line which was out the door all night because people off the street were allowed to use it. People standing over us the whole time and touching our table. Didn’t even stay for food.

    Waiting almost an hour for table even though we had reservation, take a long time for foods to come out, pizza was way to salty, take 15 minutes in-line for bathroom etc….so disappointed.

    We ordered the lobster wontons, brie and apple flatbread,and the tuna poke. The food all tasted yummy but the flatbread and wontons a little too cold by the time it arrived to table. The bar service was extremely slow as well although our table server was awesome! This was NYE, so restaurant was packed. We love Boca and will definitely visit again.

    We like Boca. The staff are usually nice, the service is usually prompt and the food is usually good. Although the food and drinks last night were good, being so busy for the holiday week, the service was good, but not as good as usual. We waited about 10min to place our order and although both our entrees, flatbread for me and a salad for my wife, came relatively promptly, my drink didn’t come until after our server made his first stop to checkin on how we liked are entrees. In other words, he forgot it. Also, we ran out of water halfway through our meal and it wasn’t refilled until after we were finished. Cutting them some slack for the holiday crush, we’ll definitely go again hoping/expecting their service will be back to their usual high standards.
