   It was a busy night for Thursday, but the staff did well to keep everything moving. Really appreciate the expediting of my youngest’s food order as we were close to a meltdown, kudos to the staff there. The food was good and the specials were on par with visits to other locations. Nice spot in the heart of downtown Sarasota. I think the hit of the table was the Pig and Bee (or similar name) flatbread.

   We had a great time at this restaurant! The food was amazing and the service was even better. Our waitress was the bartender as well, unfortunately we can’t remember her name, she was amazing even though she was so busy. We’ll definitely be coming back and hopefully get lucky with her being our waitress again!

   Disappointed with this place. They were disorganized with seating, service was sub par and food average. Not a recommendation to return from me

   Always enjoy dining at Boca. Dined during St Patty's party downtown and wanted a place that wasn't serving just the Irish food so picked Boca for the food, drinks and location. Everything was very good but only comment was the Chicken Milanese had too much raw red onion in the arugala salad plus the ratio of chicken to arugula salad was too much salad and not enough chicken, should have been the reverse. Ceasar salad was great with chicken. They have a great happy hour and looking forward to returning soon.

   What a lovely evening. We had a reservation for outside because I knew the weather would lend itself to that. Perfect location for enjoying the weather and for the people watching, downtown has a very vibrant atmosphere-and Boca adds to that. Our server Brian was on point, our food-sensational. I highly recommend the Tuna Poke Bowl, flavors were amazing. Others had the skirt steak, which they also said was super flavorful. Boca is a casual, and by that I don’t mean sloppy-it’s an upscale casual to enjoy with friends. It’s a bit too noisy for that ‘romantic’ date, but don’t let that deter you from enjoying it with your significant other-it’s a fun place to get great service and food. Highly recommend.

   Featured half price appetizers were simply half portion sizes of the regular appetizers. We ordered the lobster wontons and got 3 wontons for 4 adults. Food quality was very average. Ambience and service nice and nice location downtown. Staff very accommodating to move us outside. Unfortunately the food quality was sub-par.

   We sat outside and the noise level was less. But the service and quality of food were excellent as they always are.

    Unacceptable. We were sat and waited over 30 MINUTES before being greeted by a server or given water after I’d made reservations and specified we were under time constraints to get to my performance on time. We had to walk out and go next door in order to eat in time!!!
