- LLoriCincinnati / Dayton •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoMy husband and I had a wonderful time at BOCA and we were there celebrating his birthday. This was our first time eating at the restaurant and we really enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere. The Pommes Soufflés "1949", The Charred Leeks, Lumache con Salsiccia and Mafaldine con Bolognese were all super delicious! When it came to dessert, they have a die for gem called - Pomme d'Amour. The craftsmanship of the food that is created in this restaurant is unbelievable and you can see the details in how it is presented. The staff is very attentive, and they make you feel like you are the only customer in the restaurant. We highly recommend BOCA if you want a wonderful dining experience.

- AAllisonCincinnati / Dayton •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoDinner was delicious. We sat near the kitchen window and got to see all of the food come out which I loved. The cabbage rolls were amazing and the chicken dish was my absolute favorite! The rye dumplings were just okay for me but the brownie was out of this world! Service was great and the ambiance is lovely.More infoSudovaPrice: Moderate• Eastern European• Central Business District•4.8

And our food and drinks were delicious. Can't wait to come back!More infoCrown CantinaPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Central Business District•4.7
- AAndreaCincinnati / Dayton •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWe sat at “counter seating” and I had my doubts because I felt it would be like bar type seating. For two people it is perfect seating. You can both see the action in the restaurant and yet be able to talk with each other. Our service was spectacular - multiple people checked in with us. Most people there were going to a show after dinner - like myself - the restaurant was on top of it. We did not feel rushed at all. The food was wonderful. We had fish and chips (not battered, but incredible) and shrimp and grits - both were fantastic. Our drinks were first rate as well. I had been here years ago and thought ‘it’s OK but with this visit (again many years later) I thought “I have to come back!”.More infoNicholson's Fine Food & Whisk(e)yPrice: Moderate• Gastro Pub• Central Business District•4.6
