    We were disappointed in the food last night. Usually reliable, my husbands gnocchi was mediocre and the calamari was rubbery. And 17.00 for a chopped salad is egregious. Our main courses arrived before we finished the calamari. We were in and out in under an hour. Not going to be rushing back.

    server was outstanding. The fresh food was fantastic. It was my wife and my 37th anniversary and they certainly made us feel special. Always enjoy Boca.

    Took forever to get a drink, finally came when the food came, broken salmon salad was virtually inedible - cold, fishy. Then bill came with 2 drinks charged when only got one. Not sure I’d rush back.

    It was the worst salad ever! I just try to give basic order like salad with salmon! But salmon was smelling,definitely wasn’t fresh. And veggies were wizened.I can’t eat and return my meal.It was my first time to visit Boca but I left very disappointed.

    My husband ordered salmon, which was good. He also ordered a beer, which he was told they were out of. I ordered truffle fries and the poke tuna bowl. The truffle fries were cold and soggy. I mentioned this to our waiter, and the fries were replaced with hot and soggy fries. I do not recommend them. I did not enjoy the poke bowl either. Overall, a disappointing experience.

    They shouldn’t allow you to reserve seating in the bar on OpenTable if they don’t allow it at the restaurant since it is first come first serve.
