Boca is Chef David Falk's ode to Europe. It is a one of a kind dining experience marrying world-class, chef driven cuisine with gracious service. Boca's design couples contemporary European and American stylings with touches of rusticity in an airy urban space. The elegant and inviting surroundings welcome guests for an afternoon cocktail, a small bite before a great show at nearby theaters, a casual dinner with friends, or a luxurious night out.
“It’s a late review but wanted to post. I visited Bocca in 2022 for my birthday and we had a great experience. One of the finest dining experiences I ever had.”
“We came to Boca for a birthday celebration - service was exceptional and only topped by the perfect symphony of flavors! We had salad, the halibut with almond sauce, the cold leek salad and TWO servings of the Pommes Souffles because they were that good. Save room for dessert - surprise favorite was the house made hazelnut ice cream. Both of us said we'd get everything again because it was so good, but will probably also try new things our next time back because everything was so good! Glad I brought a wrap, it was a just right layer over short sleeves at the end of March.”
“We had such a great time! The space was absolutely beautiful and the service was incredible and very attentive. Doug was great and extremely knowledgable about the menu. They have a vegetarian menu and he walked us through it and gave great recommendations. Favorites were the brussel sprouts, romanesco, and the risotto. Great place to celebrate!”
“We finally had our dinner at Boca and it was beyond anything we could have imagined. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with warmth and intention. The maître d’, Nicole, was absolutely incredible! She curated our entire experience from start to finish. She gave us the best table in the house, arranged a custom menu with out-of-this-world wine pairings, and ensured every course was flawlessly executed. Every single team member we encountered made us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated. We were congratulated on our 25th anniversary throughout the evening, offered a behind-the-scenes tour of the kitchen, and gifted a beautifully framed and signed menu personalized just for us. Nicole and the entire Boca team turned what was already a special occasion into a memory we’ll never forget. This wasn’t just dinner... it was hospitality at its highest level. If I could give 6 stars, I would.”
“Beautiful, contemporary space (nicely decorated for the holidays) Sat at the bar, where I received high level, attentive and informed service A fairly traditional menu with a French bent. Most of the dishes were well executed, with the Oysters Rockefeller and deconstructed Marscapone Cheesecake especially good. Unfortunately, the ($52) halibut was overcooked and the sauce was way too lemony - does anyone in the kitchen taste the sauce before it’s sent to the dining room?? Wasn’t up to snuff As an aside, the couple next to me was complaining (to one another) about their Truffled Hamachi which they felt was overwhelmed by the truffle vinaigrette Anyway, it’s a decent place for a special occasion or if on expense account, but don’t expect James Beard-level culinary innovation nor execution Probably overpriced for what it is”
