Went for a birthday dinner and had an excellent time. The service is impeccable--efficient, friendly, with all of the added touches of a fine dining establishment. The food overall was very good, although not perfect. The Amish chicken was a little too salty and the tartare was good but uninspired. The scallop was by far the best dish, I would come back again just for that!!Dessert was delicious, well balanced, with excellent pairings.Overall, would very much recommend.
Like Nada and Sotto, the experience is unique to the restaurant. The service is incredible and the food is unmatched.It really is a shame that Michelin doesn’t come to Cincinnati, because Boca would absolutely have a star or two. Cant recommend the place enough.Vegetarian options: The provide an entirely separate menu with just vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: Before any order they always clarify any dietary restrictions to be sure.Parking: Parking is tough due to the location being in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. Plenty of garage parking around and valet service l.
Best service I've ever had. Also the priciest. Everyone is packed in and it is very fancy. For date nights and special occasions. The vegan options are good but don't go if you are going for vegan food. It is a whole experience. The upstairs is more open. There is a small bar on the bottom. Next time I am going to just get a drink and the sorbet at the bar.

I had an AMAZING time at Boca! I sat at the bar and everyone there was fabulous. Without even asking, they took their time to walk me through the menu and offer suggestions. I ended up ordering the pommes soufflés, the charred leeks, the diver scallop, and the maple mascarpone cheesecake for dessert. Everything was delicious, especially the brussel sprouts that were part of the diver scallop, and the cheesecake. The cheesecake was so delicious I think my eyes welled up a bit on the first bite. Everything was phenomenal, from the drinks to the food to the service. I can't wait to be back!

Upscale, elegant, and fine dining. We love Boca. Don't miss the potato puffs and the scallops. Smaller dishes meant for ordering multiples so it definitely gets pricy, but very worth it!

I came here for a coworker's birthday dinner while traveling for work, and we all agreed it's one of the best restaurants in Cincinnati! We started off with cocktails, and I highly recommend the Easy A for mezcal lovers. Of the hors d'oeuvres, the pommes soufflés are a must - they are light, airy potato puffs and a very unique and delicious version of a french fry! For dinner, we shared the gnocchi, bolognese, and lumache. All 3 were very good, although be aware that the portions are fairly small. The service throughout the night was friendly and professional, and our waiter had great recommendations. If you're in Cincinnati, give Boca a try!

I took my adult kids here for a birthday celebration. Service, food and atmosphere was amazing! My only feedback is that it seems inappropriately expensive. The portion sizes are very small. We had a bottle of wine, one of the few under $100. It was $200 per person which just seemed a little out of line, especially because we didn’t really leave full or go crazy on menu selections. Would I go back? Probably, but realizing it’s $200 + per person meal.
food was great. however, service is not good considering pricing. servers was trying to take our plates as soon as possible even we were still working. also server talked a lot without hearing us and just recommend us to make orders as much as possible. we paid $500 for 2 but we feel it's not enough for this restaurant and our server.
The best food, service, and atmosphere that I could ask for. Everything was absolutely perfect and we’ll definitely be back. Recommend the Amish chicken, diver scallop, oysters, leeks, and caviar!
One of the most amazing restaurants you will dine in your life from the delicious food to the detailed service. We come from out of town from Washington D.C. a few times a year just do dine here. They are always wonderful and consistently provide the same level of service and quality of food that we have fallen in love with over 2 years ago!
Everything was absolutely perfect! The service was wonderful, beautiful location, and some of the best dishes I've ever had. Highly recommend the Diver scallop, leaks, caviar, and scallops. Everything all together made it an experience that's unmatched.

This was by far the best dining experience I have ever had in Ohio. The food was spectacular! Each and every staff interaction was thoughtful and warm, and our server, David, was outstanding.He was incredibly attentive, and provided so many insights regarding the menu as well as wine pairings. You can instantly tell he loves what he does. With David's help, we chose a few different dishes to share, and we were very impressed with the quality, presentation, and flavors in each dish.From the hors d'oeuvres to dessert, we were impressed and well taken care of. I recommend you visit if you are looking for an extremely elevated dining experience.

Service is amazing. Highly recommend ordering a bunch of appetizers rather than the main courses. You can try a ton of different things and everything is delicious.
We had a nice date night, good service and a fun atmosphere.
