- TTimCincinnati / Dayton •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur Server Brian who worked at Boca previously was amazing! Probably the best server in town. Outstanding. The Beet Salad was fantastic. The Burger was wonderful as well. It was one of the best burgers in town. Thank you so much for a great evening. And a shout out to the chef that accommodated us, since we are keto. Thank you. And Brian, he is top notch. Thank you, Brian. The Gigi drink is great as well. Happy Holidays. Oh, and Maya is an essential employee. She is a doll. Great Restaurant!

- JJillCentral Kentucky •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI spent 6 weeks in a Greece a few years ago, and I LOVED the food. This is the most authentic Greek food I've had in America. They even had wines from Nemea and Santorini--the perfect companion to the food!! Service was kind and friendly without being overbearing, and they gave us space to enjoy every course without rushing. I cannot wait to go back again and try something different to eat.More infoFilloPrice: Moderate• Greek• Over the Rhine•4.7

- TTom and CelesteCincinnati / Dayton •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoWe had lunch reservations for our 47th anniversary. We were immediately seated on arrival, and promptly greeted by our server Mark. He was happy to be part of our celebration, and shared his favorite recommendations on the menu. So many choices! We had spaghetti with Sunday Sauce, butternut squash ravioli, veal cutlets, salad wedge, freshly baked bread, and of course, wine. Everything was delicious. Thanks for making our anniversary a special day! We will definitely be back. T & C LaneMore infoPepp & DoloresPrice: Moderate• Italian• Over the Rhine•4.9
