    The food was quite good. Calamari appetizer had a nice pop and came with two dips. The skirt steak was outstanding. The portions were generous. The main courses came way too soon before we had a chance to finish the appetizer and had to be sent back. We asked for bread and a nice garlic bread was served at no cost. The scampi dish said it had lobster and came with none. The kitchen corrected, but it threw off the timing of the meal. The staff tried hard to please, but the net effect was that the botchups affected the enjoyment of the dining experience. Some fine tuning would make this a plus restaurant.

    If you don’t mind the noise and close tables, the food is worth the visit. Our waitress, Francesca, was very attentive and friendly.

    What a fabulous dining experience at Boca. We had the zucchini fries, pork tacos and seafood linguine. All were thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Our bar servers Bryan and Ryan were attentive to our requests. Will come back again!
