    This is a beautiful place, fit for a special occasion. The staff was wonderful and made our evening enjoyable. It’s always hard to judge a place on one meal. Ours was ok. If you’re in Bridgeport, want a steak and don’t need the spectacular ambiance, drive across the bridge to Joseph’s.

    Outdoor seating is great! Very relaxing. I was disappointed in the meal. Had a salad with fried goat cheese. Presentation, not good. Just a bunch of spinach throw on a dish with a small amount of cranberries and walnuts. A hunk of breaded, fried goat cheese thrown on top. I added grilled chicken, which was so salty, I didn't want to consume it!

    The views are nice and the wait staff is good. We have been there many times and the food is hit or miss. Not always consistent. It's a nice looking restaurant on the water. It's worth a try. Go in nice weather and you can sit outside. they have to fix the shade situation - there is not a lot of shade - So in the summer you bake on their patio. It's an easy fix - not sure why they haven't solved this one as of yet.

    Enjoyed A Beautiful On The Patio Under The Shade Of The Roof Overhang. I Started With The Lobster Bisque, Full Of Lobster Meat, A Thicker Style Of Bisque. It Was Perfect. Ordered The Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp For My Entree, Again Like The Bisque, My Entree Was Amazing. Portion Sizes Were Very Generous. Will Definitely Be Back To Try Some More Different Menu Items

    We always have a great experience at Boca! Please continue to provide, high quality service and delicious food. One suggestion, it would be great if the information completed on Open Table was reviewed when guests check in for their reservation. In scheduling the reservation, I mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary but there was no mention of it during our visit…very disappointed there. Besides that, everything else was superb!

    Great views of the water and boats and great outdoor seating. I had the chicken caprese stack and husband the grilled chicken blt. The chicken was pounded way too thin and it was a lot of breading. 3.5/5 stars

    We were in town for one night and found this place had a reservation we could make on Open Table so we took a chance. Overall it was a good experience. Great atmosphere and quality servers and people all around. We got to eat outside which was lovely. My only complaint was the NE clam chowder. My husband and I both agreed it tasted like flour, needed significant seasoning and I don’t think I found one clam. I’ve had chowders full of potatoes instead of clams and that would have been improvement. Other than that it was a good meal.

    Most of the food was very good. The avocado on one of our party’s Poke Bowl was brown and the pour on his mixed drink a little light so that was a bit disappointing. Service is very friendly and very fast but we felt in no way rushed. Would return for sure.

    The restaurant was beautiful. The waitress was very nice and the ambiance was great. My friend wasn’t too happy with her lamb because it was over cooked but did not want to send it back. I thought my food was good. Overall, we would go back and it is a very nice vibe. My friend would just order something different next time.

    Restaurant was very busy as there was a concert at the nearby Amphitheater which we were also attending. This really didn't affect service, which was quick and friendly. The only outdoor seating left was in the sun so we opted to sit inside. The glass wall was open and a nice breeze was coming through so we not only had just as good a view as being outside but the comfort of being inside. Mussels for app and sea bass and cioppino were both very good. Drinks were very good also. We will return. Oh like the ease of parking also.

    The waitress we had was not very attentive. I had to get my own drinks from the bar twice. She also forgot some things we asked for (grated cheese, extra place setting.) Food was decent (not excellent) but prices were very high for decent food. Ambience was nice, musician was fantastic- best part of the experience.
