    Our waitress was outstanding and her knowledge of gluten free options made my experience exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. This was our first time at Pepp & Dolores. We live an hour and twenty minutes away and my wife commented in the middle of our meal that she would be willing to make the drive to just have dinner. She’s pretty selective about dinning out and that speaks volumes. The entire staff was so nice especially our hostess and waitress. Kudos to everyone especially the kitchen staff for an amazing meal.

    My 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. Lori and Charlie Peterson

    Received a warm welcome and a lovely booth. Our server Kati made every part of our evening perfect. Ask for her and you won’t go wrong. Try knowledgeable about menu and didn’t mind at all asking the chef to make a tweak to a main entree when I ordered. Food very good.
