    Why would you go to a chain restaurant when we have this local gem that grows most of the food it prepares? Our son is one of the most pickiest of all our kids yet raved about everything he ate! Phenomenal steaks with careful attention to temperature preferences, a la carte items that have a Dutch influence, and a tomato salad unlike anything I’ve had before - extraordinary. Service was outstanding and meticulous led by Savannah and Matthew. This will be our go to for this type of experience!

    My husband and I had a wonderful time at BOCA and we were there celebrating his birthday. This was our first time eating at the restaurant and we really enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere. The Pommes Soufflés "1949", The Charred Leeks, Lumache con Salsiccia and Mafaldine con Bolognese were all super delicious! When it came to dessert, they have a die for gem called - Pomme d'Amour. The craftsmanship of the food that is created in this restaurant is unbelievable and you can see the details in how it is presented. The staff is very attentive, and they make you feel like you are the only customer in the restaurant. We highly recommend BOCA if you want a wonderful dining experience. Lori and Charlie Peterson
