★★★★★ 5.0 Yovana Sanabria · Mar 2026

Beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere, wonderful staff and amazing food. My husband took me for a date night and this place didn’t disappoint. We had the original paella and shrimp tacos. The paella was cooked to perfection… trust me when I say you don’t want undercooked rice when chewing. Thank you for a wonderful time.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Brian Yanik · Nov 2025

Let me start with the good, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming with soft, ambient lightening and subdued background music creating the perfect mood for engaging conversations with friends. The service left a little to be desired. Our server waited too long between table visits making it difficult to put in orders and significantly increased the duration of our meal. The food was perhaps the most disappointing part of the experience. We started with the roasted street corn, fries, sauteed shrimp, and the Argentinian roasted pork sliders. The street corn was lacking in flavor, the shrimp were uninspiring. On the other hand, the sliders and fries were actually quite tasty and the only items I would recommend. For our main course we ordered the Paella...big mistake. When the server broug

Had a lovely date night at Boca today. All of the food was amazing and the atmosphere and pianist were great. Plenty of parking and a perfect resturant if you want to dress up or just wear jeans and a nice button up shirt. I wouldve liked to see the dish with elk and phesant sausage to have a bit more to it other than 2 cut up pieces of sausage and fries, some cute garnishes and maybe a green to liven up the plate so it was a bit of a disappointment when it was brought out but the other 4 dishes we were brought tasted and looked amazing. Excited to come back and try the dish with Duck!

We went for Valentine’s Day. We made a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived. Service was ok, it took a while for our drink order to be taken & again for our food order. Other than that, everything was perfect! Food/drink was delicious and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for. Every bite was delicious!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Shana Craig · Aug 2025

This place was good, food descriptions were vague. One of our dishes had something very spicy in it and the menu didn’t specify that nor did our server. The Quality of food was amazing, great cocktails and the place is beautiful. Plenty of parking. Next time we’ll be asking detailed questions of everything we want.
