I ordered the Gnocchi and it was fairly good. My problem was the soup - asparagus. It was tasteless and I found one of the asparagus fibers that looked like a grey hair in my mouth. I am guessing the soup should be strained better to not allow that. I would give it another try but not the soup.
The restaurant has great decor, with a layout that is broken up, keeping things a little quieter if desired. The food was alright, my sandwich was a little bland, but the ingredients were good. I suspect a different dish would have garnered a fifth star.
Had a delicious piece of swordfish. Service was great. Fresh hot bread with herbed butter was a delightful way to start our meal. Everyone left full and happy!
Great happy hour.
Tasty "duck fat fried" french fries and free home made potato chips (while supplies last, so get there early) and friendly staff.
Happy hour specials are different each night, so call or check out the website.
Great American restaurant located in a somewhat odd place for how good it was. Anyway, the food is excellent and I'd suggest the mussels if you're into a slightly spicy appetizer.
The prime rib is only available on Friday and Saturday nights and it was good. I'd suggest House of Prime Rib instead if you want prime rib so best choose another steak while you're at Boca.
The sides were excellent and fresh. The duck fat fries actually don't taste different than regular fries, so maybe try something else as a treat.
The service was good, attentive, and quick with requests. Everyone is respectful and nice.
The ambiance is what sets this apart considering there's a jack in the box next door and a gas station across the street. It's an upscale restaurant with a lovely covered patio (yes dogs are allowed) that includes a fireplace. If it's too cold out they have a ton of heaters that should make things comfortable.
