    We ordered the Paella de Marisco. Boca warns that the Paella takes at least 35 minutes to prepare. It took maybe 15 minutes before we were served and that should have been a warning. I don't think there is a thing called instant Paella. What we received was an overcooked cast iron pan of food. The calamari was hard rubber, having been cooked until it was inedible. The mussels on the top were also dried to a crisp. Interestingly, the srimp on the top was cooked perfectly. It appeared they were put on after the pan came out of the oven. The rice was really flavorful, but that could't save the dish. We also had the goat cheese salad, which was quite good. As for the service, the wait staff was friendly but over-exuberant. They were constantly trying to clean off the dishes before we were done. That would have been bad even if the restaurant was full and they needed to turnover the table. But the place was about half full and no one was waiting. The waiter was told about the rubbery seafood and he apologized.

    Dear Joel, I am very sorry to read your review and to hear you were unhappy with the quality of your Paella. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value guest comments as they help us continue to learn and improve. We do inform guests that it takes approximately 35 minutes to prepare. In your case, the timing was in line with our standard process, as it took just over 30 minutes before being served. We're sorry the seafood did not meet your expectations, though surprised you finished the dish without alerting a manager. We would have welcomed the opportunity to address your concerns and make things right. We we’ll remind our staff to be mindful of timing when clearing plates. I deeply apologize you were unhappy, but I hope you visit us again. Sincerely, Nancy Bambara

    Most of the food was very good. Service was very good and food was hot when brought out. Prices a bit high, but it’s downtown Saratoga.

    Delicious meal, excellent service. We had a few small plates, the chicken dish, and the burger. The sliced steak dish was wonderful, and the burger is one of the best in Saratoga. Must have the Boca fries too. We will be back!

    Colleen, we’re happy to hear you enjoyed your meal and our service. The chicken, burger, and sliced steak are definitely guest favorites, and we agree about those Boca fries! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another delicious experience.

    Stuffed dates, grilled octopus, and anchovy tapas dishes preceded our special pasta dish with andouille and shrimp, all fantastic! Great wine selection to accompany our dinner. Finished our dinner with a lemon blueberry mousse that was delicious! Service by Ashley was excellent and her co-server Marin was pleasant and helpful! Will return often!

    Didn’t love the style of food - too many pickled onion. Restaurant was really loud making conversation difficult. Parking was a nightmare. But the server was terrific and hostess was also very helpful.

    Just finished a meal that I can only describe as "meh". Very friendly server, but that's probably the best thing I can say. We started with calamari that was barely battered and chewed like shoe leather. Very disappointing the chicken large plate had some high points with the arugula salad, corn, purée, and roasted potatoes, but the chicken itself was dry. The Fideo was ok. I thought that the olive oil on the table did not have a very fresh taste either. In all honesty, I can't recommend this place.
