REALLY like any of the Ruby’s restaurants around Cincinnati to celebrate special occasions. This was our first time at the new location on 5th & Vine. All the 1920’s ambiance you expect from one of his locations and the excellent food & service made for a great experience. Our one complaint was that it was very noisy - much more so than the other locations. We sat in the big open room but will look into how to book a table in one of the smaller rooms like The Gatsby as it might be quieter in there. Otherwise, GREAT!

My favorite restaurant! I definitely have my favorite items. Gnocchi, chicken parm, pork chop, whipped lemon ricotta and sour dough, and lastly the tiramisu. Not sure in this order but my favorites.

I always look forward to dining at Boca, the food is always delicious and the service is seamless. If you're an oyster fan you should definitely try theirs-you won't find any better. I'm a real fan of their chicken dish -with risotto and carrot. I keep coming back to ordering it because it's perfect! If you're uncertain what wine to choose with your dinner-let the staff help with a good pairing-I enjoyed what our server suggested and it's a good way to try something new. Boca is a real gem of a restaurant and Cincinnati is lucky to have it.
