    Service and atmosphere was nice. But the food was a miss. Some dishes were overcooked. Others were cold.

    I eat at Bocado often. The service has always been excellent. The atmosphere is cheerful and low key. The menu has a variety of dinner salads, burgers and other entrees.

    Food was ok. It was not busy, but felt like food preparation was not given care.

    Very good food, large portions. The only issue was we ordered a second round of mimosas as we were finishing our food. As we just began to drink them, the staff started bussing our table as we were finishing up. They hovered over us and kept reaching to grab things over and over. That was pretty bad

    They forgot the toast and nothing explained. And even told us it’s not charged (toast is part of the omelette)
