This was my first wedding anniversary we we’re excited to eat here drive over a hour away sat right away got our appetizers also right away ordered the $100 tomahawk steak medium rare and waited close to a hour for it and it came well done then took another 10-15 min for the waitress to come by to check we sent it back and was told we had to wait another 30 mins for the steak to come out we got our check they took it off the bill they apologized but didn’t try to make anything right had to request to see the manager almost 5-10 mins later he comes out from a random part of the restaurant with a towel on his shoulder shirt untucked not professional at all and then said “yea sorry you already paid and I just found out but they took it off the bill” I informed him we drove a hour away my wife is pregnant and this is our first anniversary dinner he really didn’t seem to care. The manager wasn’t around at all checking on any tables and I know if someone sends an $100 steak back a manager should be checking on the table overall this was absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional wanted to have a big party here but now there is no reason to come back mistakes happen but it’s all in the effort you try to fix them and Boca Oyster bar completely failed

Roasted chicken had a funny barbecue taste to it. My wife told the waitress. She ate hardly any of it. She should have offered her another dish or not charged us for it. It was a $27 dish!

On a summer’s day there is no place better. My one warning would be if you are looking at the $17 two course lunch beware of the “up pricing” on certain items. For my partner and I the market price upping was substantial. A bit of a shock but food was delicious.

Need to have a back up plan for when it rains in regards to reservations. Not sure what the answer is but waiting 40 minutes past my reservation time is not okay. And there were plenty of others also waiting. The hostess was super nice about it and tried her best but something needs to change in case of the weather. Otherwise I don’t have a bad thing to say about this place. Service was good, food and drinks were excellent will recommend to others and return again as well

I enjoyed my birthday dinner at Boca Oyster Bar! Unfortunately it was too chilly to sit outside; their outdoor seating is fantastic. The food is good; a little pricey but I would recommend this restaurant for the service and their outdoor seating. It’s a great place for a special occasion.

Went to celebrate college graduation. Great location right on water. Great live music. Service was awful. Placed drink orders & food order. Several times servers tried to bring food & drink to our table that wasn’t ours. Our waitress was MIA. We waited almost an hour for our meals. Finally came & one of us ordered salmon & they brought shrimp scampi. Waitress said if we send it back for the correct meal it will take at least another 1/2 hr so we kept it. Gave us free a Diet Coke for our troubles but still charged us $37 for incorrect meal! Would not go back.

Food was tasty, however, quite overpriced for some things. Service was terrible. Ordered a drink and was told it would be right out, never even got it. Never came around to refill water… took forever for food to come. Ambiance and location were cool though.

We walked in and the hostess, said there were no outside seats at all because of reservations, and there wouldn't be on seats becoming available. So we sat at bar and noticed there were a lot of empty tables outside for about 30 mins, so we went on opentable, made a reservation, asking for outside. Then i walked out and walked back in and the same hostess, greeted me and i gave her my name for reservation and she sat us at an outdoor table. Very frustrating, more so for the owners, they almost lost our entire business if we decided not to have a drink. I just don't understand how that happened. Also i feel it's not well managed and i wanted to talk to the owners and let them know they should really take a look at what's happening. Food was good, would still recommend...just expected more out of boca

We had a great time here. The setting on the water is terrific. We had the bacon appetizer and besides being delicious the presentation was great. We had the seared scallop entree and the Cioppino. The seafood was cooked perfectly. Both dishes were delicious. We’ll be back soon!

Very disappointed with service last night. Our waitress barely spoke to us, I couldnt tell you her name either. We sat for quite a while before she even approached us. We had to ask several times for place settings and water. Appetizers came but we couldnt eat them because we had no silverware or napkins. When she was at the table next to ours or walking past, our server didn't even look in our direction! Never came when our dinners were served. We had to hunt her down for bill. Then again to pay the bill. We saw they add 20% gratuity to parties of 6 or more. I guess she felt she didn't have to bother as she would get the gratuity anyway. I have no problem with added gratuity but if this is the level of service? Then yes, I do. I understand they were busy but its no excuse to ignore a table. Very surprised as we enjoy dining here. Hope they fix this.

We came in and we’re immediately greeted by staff. We got sat at our table and knew what we wanted before we even got there. We had the wings for an appetizer. They were very good and hot. We ordered the lobster rolls. They brought the tarter sauce with my meal as I requested. The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars is because the lobster rolls weren’t as hot as the fries. Other than that it was good.

Service was excellent but the food was so bad it was almost funny. Cold French fries - which the waitress was quick to fix. The ahi tuna salad was a plate of mixed greens that looked like they came out of a bag, topped with 6 slivers of tuna and a few bits of mango and two small slices of avocado. A little cup of dressing on the side. I’ve had better from the stop and shop grab and go section. Too bad bc the place is great - we wanted to like it.

Oysters from raw bar were very good - which is why we were there, dinners were only ok. Chicken BLT was blah, sesame teriyaki tuna was extremely salty. Tuna was cooked perfectly, but was overpowered by what seemed like straight soy sauce (not teriyaki).

Poor quality in food. Oysters were dry which you should be leaving some water in them. The French onion was like having gravy. The clam chowder was dark like the roux was burnt. Salmon over cooked and asparagus burned. Yet the neighboring table the asparagus looked nice and fresh. The lobster roll was as if they shredded the lobster into tiny pieces. None of the food was close to what yelp photos showed. Plus the taste was lacking. Not worth trying again and a waste of $200+ dollars. The only plus is that the location is great. I do feel bad for the servers as you can see they are doing multiple jobs.
