No mocktail menu or ingredients to make one; although they cobbled something together. It was ok, but it didn't taste like a rhubarb mojita. The Ceasar salad with chicken tasted good. My friend has the Italian Chopped salad and declared it delicious. There was bread left over, but the server didn't offer to box it up.She seemed offended when I asked her to box the remainder of my salad. The atmosphere was hard to judge because there were less than 20 people in the restaurant. I would go again when it is busier, like the dinner hour.

We had a lovely night at Buca. One of our family favorite restaurants. We celebrated my brother and niece visiting from out of town with a dinner at Buca. My brothers wife who had to stay home is so jealous. We will bring her next time she visits.
