    We decided on Stonebridge for a date night without the kids. Our server was sooo nice and attentive. We never had to wait on anything and she had answers to all our questions. We each had a French onion soup, husband had a burger, I had the seafood potpie and we shared the warmed butter cake for dessert. The food was great! My husband had a Moscow mule and he thought it was meh. It didn’t come in a copper mug, which he says is a must 🙄. I had some hibiscus ginger beer cocktail and i thought it was delicious. We sat in on the enclosed patio which was heated. I would definitely return once it gets warmer for outside seating.

    What a find!! This place was a perfect location to have a friends celebration. Menu is very versatile making a selection hard! We enjoyed every bite and agree that we will return to try more of the perfectly prepared dishes. When we walked in it was pretty chilly outside but we were lucky to get seated by the fireplace and totally enjoyed that as well. No disappointment here at all. Recommend a reservation. We had one, fortunately.

    Was in town on business and Boca was recommended to me. It did not disappoint! I imagine it would be packed during nicer weather but was nice and quiet the night I was there. As a single I chose to sit at the bar. Had a nice old fashioned, started with some delicious raw oysters and wonderful lobster bisque soup, enjoyed the Icelandic cod as an entree, and gave in and ordered a brownie sundae for dessert. Everything was fresh, extremely flavorful, and served quickly. I would definitely visit here again!
