    The Pommes Soufflés were a delicious appetizer - perfect balance of oil and salt paired with a decadent sauce. Get the oysters too - they're very good. Dinner was fantastic also. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Ambiance is fancy - this is the place to go for fine dining in Cincinnati.

    We went for our anniversary and our favorite aspect of Boca is the experience. Our waitress was very friendly and there were several excellent servers and a good mixologist who made great recommendations for drinks and food. The portions are on the small side, especially considering the price, but for a special night out, the atmosphere, quality, and care the staff puts in makes it worth it.

    The experience was very good. I went overboard for the occasion. Ordered multiple drinks along with the beef Wellington. If I were to come back I would probably order multiple small appetizers and share with my wife.

    Our first time at Boca and it was outstanding. The food was amazing. Everything was top notch. Our server Katie was excellent. She was most attentive and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and gave us excellent recommendations. The entire staff did a wonderful job in making us feel like we were the only guests in the restaurant. The entire space is beautiful even the private restrooms. Definitely worth the money for a special dining experience.

    Our first experience was great! Everyone was kind and respectful. We brought our 9 year old son and I was pleased to see another family with young boys. They handled all of our questions with enthusiasm and a smile. The service was absolutely the best. The decor is very thoughtful and fun. It reminded me of a lounge in an old theater. The food was delicious and the flavors complimented each other well. We had a variety of dishes and ended with dessert. The menu changes so I will not get too much into specifics but the assorted seafood dishes were excellent made with high quality, fresh ingredients. We did not have to wait long for anything and the servers and wait staff gave the appropriate amount of attention. We would definitely return. Good for a date night or out with friends.

    The food and drink were fabulous. We did experience a table of six that thought everyone in the restaurant should hear everything they had to say. Our server promptly moved us to another table. It was our anniversary so that was great. Dinner at Boca is always fantastic and this night was no exception

    Once again, a wonderful evening with great food, great service, great atmosphere. We may have over ordered, so wouldn’t necessarily stick to the recommendations of 2-3 plates per person. Great value for quality. Around $150 per person with wine, cocktails, and tip.

    OpenTable did not provide options beyond bar area. When we arrived we found that other areas would have been possible. For our 32nd Anniversary it would have been nice to have a table not within 2 feet of each surrounding table. But it worked Food and service - awesome Surrounding diners - kind

    WE LOVE BOCA! My fiancé and I went there last night to celebrate one year until our wedding day. I had asked for a private/romantic table in a corner or something, thinking "they probably won't even see this request. And if they do they won't go out of their way for us." Boy was I wrong! The team at BOCA went above and beyond to make our night feel even more special by giving us a semi-private table for two. We started at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail and the bartender was amazing at explaining the cocktails they had on the menu that night. He welcomed our questions and even gave us a little education on how Mezcal is made. The cocktails were delicious by the way! Once we sat at our table, our waiter Jason took great care of us. Explaining the menu, giving suggestions, etc. We loved every single plate we ordered. The manager, Nicole, also took some time to stop by to say hi and congratulate us on our engagement. I could go on and on about our experience at BOCA, and what a fantastic time we had. Yes the food was out of this world, but the level of service was even more impressive. They don't make you feel like just another customer. They make you feel as though you are a guest in their home. In a world where customer service is basically non-existent these days, the lovely people at BOCA know how to take care of their patrons. We will 1000% be back soon. Thank you Jason, Nicole, and everyone at BOCA for giving us this wonderful evening we won't soon forget!!!

    This restaurant unfortunately delivers portion sizes that are much too small. This is the second time we have been disappointed because of the far too small portion sizes. We brought friends & were embarrassed. With so many excellent restaurants in Cincinnati- there is no reason to compromise.

    The food at Boca was very good. We had a variety of dishes: puffed potatoes are always wonderful, bread was great, pastas were nice, fish was good. The sticking point is that the dishes were insanely overpriced. $27 for a scallop, as delicious as it was, is a bit off-putting. The portions are more "tasting menu" portions, so you need to go in there expecting to pay around $80-$100 per person. The menu is confusing because if you order a $69 filet, you expect a larger filet than what you get. I think they need to work on their communications in the menu so people understand that this entire menu is an a la carte tasting menu

    Dishes are very creative and delicious. We tried 9 different menu items between two of us since the serving sizes are on the smaller side and were happy with each plate. My favorites were the Oeufs Mayonnaise appetizer and Diver Scallops petit plate. You really can’t go wrong with any dish you choose! It’s truly a culinary experience, trying combinations you likely have not seen before.
