    Really enjoyed my first visit to Boca. Friendly efficient staff. I will definitely return. I sat inside, but there is outdoor seating on the street.

    Foood quality used to be better. It was not too impressive this time considering price. It was not as busy so the service was very quick, almost like the dish was premade.

    We made a same morning reservation for brunch on a Saturday morning and we were able to be seated right away outdoors. We loved our spot taking in the Sarasota Farmer’s Market and the beautiful weather. I had the tuna poke bowl which was fresh, flavorful and filled me up! My husband enjoyed the well-seasoned pork tacos. It was perfect finale meal to our short Sarasota vacation.

    We wanted to try this location and sit outside and people watch, after they passing it last week. It is a lively joint, and pretty good overall. Good bar scene and good cocktails. For appetizer, we had the brussels sprouts. They looked good unfortunately the maple bourbon sauce was lacking something. It was me at best. We were disappointed. Brussels sprouts came out with a little bit of salt and that’s it.  The meals we chose were the seafood scampi shrimp pasta. It was OK. And the steak special with coffee, espresso rub, which was excellent. The state came out good, but the size were cold. Very cold. They made up by bringing some potatoes pretty promptly. But that was disappointing. Overall, we enjoyed the visit, but are honestly thinking that about whether or not we would go back.

    This was our first experience and will not return. The food was average. Our waiter was good BUT another waiter was EXTREMELY inconsiderate!!! We went early to insure we would have access to an umbrella. As we were finishing dinner another table was seated 2 tables away. Their waiter came and took the umbrella leaving us in total sunshine! He didn’t ask just took it! We chose to leave.
