    It’s just too expensive. The food and the experience are great but there are other places to get great food and great experiences at a much lower price point.

    The food, presentation and service was exquisite. Be prepared for a small plate "taste-sharing" format to get the most out of the experience. The only negative was the noise level - I would have preferred better sound absorption but this is not possible with the design/layout of the restaurant - it was beautiful, however.

    We stopped in for dessert and drinks. Great recommendations from the server on top of being extremely nice and welcoming. Everyone working there was very kind and seemed to touch base with us at some point. Atmosphere was fun and felt comfortable. The desserts were great and the service really brought it over the top. Will be coming back for more than just desserts next time. Best dining experience in Cincinnati we’ve had so far

    Food was fantastic, Pommes Soufflés "1949" great way to start the sauce goes great with them, Beet Mezzaluna very good mixture, Charred leeks distinct taste, a good one, Prime Tenderloin with Lobster it melts in your mouth a perfect medium rare, Finishing with Beef Wellington our main reason for visiting BOCA celebrating my bf birthday, he was fascinated with it. BOCA is a beautiful place, our waiter is very knowledgeable, young man, he described the meals In a way one can easily imagine the plate and desire it. It was a bit loud in there though no drama which is great! I see reviews regarding the price for the size of the meal, honestly it's worth it, might be considered a bit overpriced though the taste is fantastic, we were pleased with all of our food, and service! It's a good experience we will visit again.

    It was good… Could do without the sauce on top of the prime tenderloin. Such a great, well prepared piece of meat to be overshadowed by a strong sauce.

    Wonderful dining experience! First time for us and our waiter GRAHAM did a fantastic job walking us through the menu and describing each course. We had so many delectable dishes it’s hard to say what was our favorite. Great cocktails - nice pour. Lovely wine selection too. And at the end of the evening we were given complimentary champagne In recognition of our anniversary. Nice touch!

    We dined here for my birthday last night. Like others have mentioned, the portions are tiny (the scallop meal came with ONE scallop) but good. I thought the bolognese was disappointing but the other dishes were good. I was surprised on Yelp to see that the restaurant had recently had 12 health violations found- wish I hadn’t looked at Yelp right before the meal but worth sharing for those who are considering booking!
