   Haven’t been to Boca in quite some time and was disappointed with the experience overall. It used to be a classy restaurant with great food and ambiance. For starters the place felt cold and unwelcoming. For a Friday night there weren’t many tables filled which I now know why but the few that were filled were rowdy. It felt more like a bar atmosphere with upscale dining pricing. A $40 scallop dish consisted of 4 scallops and some broccoli. Steaks were not prime, basically grocery store steaks. We were being rushed throughout the entire dinner from beginning to end. My husband asked for a birthday cake to be brought out for his friend dining with us and it went to another table with no re do for the actual birthday boy. The only thing good about the experience was being able to catch up with friends. But we could have done that at Chilis and paid half the price. Never going back!

   Was in town on business and Boca was recommended to me. It did not disappoint! I imagine it would be packed during nicer weather but was nice and quiet the night I was there. As a single I chose to sit at the bar. Had a nice old fashioned, started with some delicious raw oysters and wonderful lobster bisque soup, enjoyed the Icelandic cod as an entree, and gave in and ordered a brownie sundae for dessert. Everything was fresh, extremely flavorful, and served quickly. I would definitely visit here again!

   Service was great, food was horrible. Fruit was old and slimy, tacos bland, French toast was mushy. Nothing we ordered was good. Which was too bad because it’s a beautiful restaurant and expensive.

    Honestly I’ve been here a couple times but last night was not good, the food was alright. My friend & I ordered the appetizer that had steak tips, my steak and my friend’s steak were not cooked to the desire temperature. Mine was cooked almost medium or medium rare, but I asked for medium well, then my friend’s steak was suppose to be medium rare and was cooked rare. Could barely chew our steaks. The drinks were very water down, my sangria tasted like it was made out of toilet water. The crab cakes were good. The waiter was very nice to comp out our steak and he was very nice and friendly and attentive however the food and drinks were not to our liking and I was shocked.
