    Food was amazing. Service was good. But we had a strange issue when paying our bills. We were a party of 8. 3 people paid with cash. Their bills were under $20. They put a $20 in the billfold and were not offered any change. The server said it was the bartenders decision to not give them change. I’ve NEVER seen this happen before. It should always be the customers decision if/how much they want to leave for a tip.

    We love Boca! It only took one phenomenal meal at Boca for me to request it for every following anniversary dinner. Six Boca visits later, I am still smitten. The staff is so personal and the hospitality on a different level. Andrew, our favorite waiter, offers menu guidance that never fails. We so appreciated a personal call from Seth to explain snow cancellations and help us with new reservations. Last night, we enjoyed the Pommes Soufflés, Oeuf Mayonnaise, Gnocchi Fonduta (that melted in my mouth) Prime Tenderloin with lobster, and Red Heritage Chicken, Candy Bar and Cheesecake - all to die for.

    Fantastic food and ambiance. The service was very attentive. There is a lounge that abuts the dining space that is just lovely for an after dinner drink. The only drawback was that the lounge’s DJ was gone by 9:30.
