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!

The food is very good and creative. Top notch gourmet but it is a bit overpriced. $85 for a 4 ounce filet mignon is a bit crazy. Plus, the plates are so small they recommend 2-3 plates per person so you end up spending $150 ish per person for just a meal. If money is no object I would recommend this place. It is so beautiful and the service is amazing.

Our waiter David was impeccable in his attention to detail and timing! The ambiance is stunning - and the food 5 stars! Maybe it is because David Falk is not always in the kitchen that this restaurant does not get the love that it used to... one taste of ANY dish will tell you that David is deeply involved in what comes to your table. Truly a Michelin experience! Keep it up Boca!

My husband and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary here. It was the first time at this restaurant, and when I made the reservation and mentioned it was a special celebration, they seated us at a beautiful second floor table, all by itself, over looking the restaurant below. They also had given us a complimentary glass of champagne!! Our waiter Jason, was so helpful in selecting all the courses, pommes soufflé, the beet and goat cheese salad, the tuna tartar, the corn ravioli, and finally, the Beef Wellington. He also selected a wonderful Bordeaux to pair with the beef. This was not an inexpensive dinner, but well worth the money. We would go back in a heartbeat for another special celebration!

This was our first visit to BOCA. We had done a bit of research on the quality of the dining experience so had high expectations coming into our dinner. BOCA exceeded those expectations. The wine our waiter (David) recommended was fantastic as well. David was great. He meticulously walked us through the menu and made great selections for us first timers to get an overall experience of what BOCA has to offer. The Brussel Sprout/Scallop dish was exquisite. We will be back.

The kitchen made a couple mistakes and they were quickly remedied and overcompensated by the staff, everything you could ask for on an off night Everybody has an off night but an off night at BOCA was handled perfectly!! Food and service was outstanding as usual THANKS BOCA!!
