We came to Boca for a birthday celebration - service was exceptional and only topped by the perfect symphony of flavors! We had salad, the halibut with almond sauce, the cold leek salad and TWO servings of the Pommes Souffles because they were that good. Save room for dessert - surprise favorite was the house made hazelnut ice cream. Both of us said we'd get everything again because it was so good, but will probably also try new things our next time back because everything was so good!
Glad I brought a wrap, it was a just right layer over short sleeves at the end of March.
We had such a great time! The space was absolutely beautiful and the service was incredible and very attentive. Doug was great and extremely knowledgable about the menu. They have a vegetarian menu and he walked us through it and gave great recommendations. Favorites were the brussel sprouts, romanesco, and the risotto. Great place to celebrate!
Beautiful, contemporary space (nicely decorated for the holidays)
Sat at the bar, where I received high level, attentive and informed service
A fairly traditional menu with a French bent. Most of the dishes were well executed, with the Oysters Rockefeller and deconstructed Marscapone Cheesecake especially good.
Unfortunately, the ($52) halibut was overcooked and the sauce was way too lemony - does anyone in the kitchen taste the sauce before it’s sent to the dining room?? Wasn’t up to snuff
As an aside, the couple next to me was complaining (to one another) about their Truffled Hamachi which they felt was overwhelmed by the truffle vinaigrette
Anyway, it’s a decent place for a special occasion or if on expense account, but don’t expect James Beard-level culinary innovation nor execution
Probably overpriced for what it is
We were in Cincinnati for our anniversary and needed a nice place to dine. We have previously had poor luck finding a location with great food and great service. Reddit suggested Boca and we gave it a try. We were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere, food, and service. Small plates with excellent flavor. Desert was great too. Highly recommended.
One of the best dinners I have had in a while. I've tried multiple new foods the other night, including caviar and scallops. The staff made the entire experience amazing. They explained the menu in-depth and the flavours with each dish. We ended the amazing dinner with beef Wellington and a lemon cake thing that was SUPER GOOD!
The scallop and brussel sprouts are featured in the image. The ingredients were extremely fresh, and the scallop tasted like a steak.
