The Aperture, the first full-scale restaurant project from Chef Jordan Anthony-Brown. The menu reflects the concept of Mediterranean mezze style dining, consisting of many small plates, rustic in nature and reflective of seasonality and creates a natural progression and flow for the dining experience. The Aperture’s menu reflects three fundamental tenets: intention, balance, and focus. The menu - and its individual dishes - are approached with the objective of putting critical thought into every component, eliminating the extraneous, and ensuring a natural flow across the menu. The culinary program is heavily influenced by the cuisine of the broader Mediterranean region and the simple, seasonal cooking of Southern France, Italy, Greece, and the Levant.Our menu changes often and with the seasons. You can always find our current menu on our website www.theaperturecinci.com.

    I celebrated my sons 21st birthday last night. I hoped everything was as good as I remembered it from my last visit several years ago and it was even better! From the moment we walked in the door and were greeted to the moment we sadly departed the experience was amazing! Our server, Abby, was amazing. She made us feel so welcome and special! She dd a great job going over the menu with us and making sure everything was just perfect. lWe started with the Wagyu meatball which was mouthwatering. For dinner we had the Cowboy Ribeye that was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth with an amazing flavor. We also had the mac and cheese which was so rich and creamy and was just and explosion of flavor in your mouth. My son had a glass of Ruby's house whisky the he really enjoyed. We finished off with a butter pie that Abby recommended for a birthday dessert and it was the most delectable dish I have the pleasure or eating in years. Thank you everyone but most notably Abby, for making this such a fun and memorable night for us. I highly recommend visiting, you will have an amazing time and even better meal!

    This was our first time dining at Pepp & Dolores. It certainly will not be our last! Upon entering we were greeted kindly by the host staff. We had arrived early for our reservation but they got us seated in a timely matter. Our table was in the basement, super cozy and perfect for our date night. Our server Lindsey was attentive and personable giving recommendations and having short conversation without being overbearing. The food from start to finish (we managed 4 courses!) was well presented and tasted as good as it looked! Whether it’s for date night, a family dinner, or girls night out this place fits the bill for any occasion.

    My husband and I came to Boca for my birthday and had such an amazing time. Christina took incredible care of us, guided us through the menu, and made our dining experience one to remember. Honestly, the ENTIRE staff created an atmosphere that was approachable yet sophisticated, while delivering the most impeccable meal we have ever eaten. No snoot, all flavor. It was truly the most spectacular culinary experience my husband and I have ever had. They even had a BOCA onesie for my newborn son! Are you kidding me? No detail was forgotten! I love BOCA, we are certainly lifetime guests.

    Once again, Sotto was amazing in every way. We celebrated my wife's birthday. Grant, our server, was informative, helpful, easy to talk with and had some great stories about the restaurant. Best part was Grant set up our oldest son, who graduated from culinary school, to meet the chef and get a tour of the kitchen. Chef Woody was amazing to do that. Can't say enough good things about our night. Thank you Sotto!
