    Good menu with choices for every liking. Food is flavorful and well portioned. Lots of drink choices from beers and wine to cocktails. A good mix of customers with bar seating, hightop tables, standard tables and booths. Always a good vibe.

    We were seated right away and were able to switch our table bc we wanted to sit upstairs. Staff was friendly and food was good. First drinks took a bit too long to come and the restaurant wasn't packed. But other than that, me and my husband enjoyed our time at Boca and would go back.

    Brussels sprouts and grits had absolutely zero flavor. Everything else good. Server was good but I could tell she had too many tables.

    I have been here for both brunch and dinner and it has not disappointed. Either time. I have been back twice since I’ve been here to visit and I look forward to going back a third time on my next visit.

    Our first time at Boca. We were looking for a restaurant close to Florida Studio Theatre. Easy parking on side street. Vibe was business casual. Service was great. Husband and I both had Malfaldine Bologene entrees. Excellent! Then we went crazy and ordered dessert - Peanut Butter Pie. OMG! Outstanding! Very rich, so it was perfect to share. We're looking forward to going back to Boca for our next FST event.
