    My husband ordered salmon, which was good. He also ordered a beer, which he was told they were out of. I ordered truffle fries and the poke tuna bowl. The truffle fries were cold and soggy. I mentioned this to our waiter, and the fries were replaced with hot and soggy fries. I do not recommend them. I did not enjoy the poke bowl either. Overall, a disappointing experience.

    They shouldn’t allow you to reserve seating in the bar on OpenTable if they don’t allow it at the restaurant since it is first come first serve.

    We were very disappointed, not only with the service, where we had to switch servers due to the fact the person left us at the table for 30 mins once we arrived, then the quality of the food was less than average, the new server was good. The manager knew we were having terrible service and for 4 people no drinks, how can it be $300. wasted time and money.

    Totally enjoyed our experience at Boca. Everyone enjoyed their meal commenting on the freshness, flavor profile and creativity of the dishes. The ambience was fun and upbeat and the service was great. It was our first time there and we will definitely return. Highly recommended.

    We usually have good experience here. Tonight was not. Street corn was soupy and not enough corn. Also had lime juice in it which was odd tasting. Chicken was tough and dry ended up sending it back. Manager did comp the chicken so that was nice. Still experience was lacking.

    Skirt steak was outstanding, as was the Boca Chocolate desert. Too much garlic butter on Mahi Mahi. Forgot to ask for salad dressing on the side and it was overdressed. Service was stellar + easy substitutions.
