    Spritz tower
    Heidi B.

    So happy to see Boca on this side of town. The new Lake Mary location is in the Colonial plaza and has a light and airy ambiance. I've sat outside, inside, in the bar, there's not a bad seat in the house. Service is great. There are a mix of traditional American dishes and more adventurous, chef-driven dishes to try. Some menu items rotate so there is always something new to try. My favorites have got to be the avocado toast for brunch; and the lobster wontons for lunch or dinner. Not sure if they will bring it back, but my friends and I really loved the "Girl dinner" weeknight special with Ceasar salad, charcuterie, and choice of flatbread. Same with the spritz tower!

    We had an 8pm reservation for magical dining. There were 7 of us and we had a nice table in the back. The restaurant was very busy and the noise level was extremely high, so not ideal for families it seems like but fine for our party. Our server was Matthew and from start to finish he provided excellent service. He was very polite, never made it seem like he didn't have time for our table even though the restaurant was packed and he was most likely dealing with many patrons and their needs. The food took quite a while, with our main entrees (everyone got the butchers cut) coming out just around 1 hr or after we ordered. We're patient so that was no problem, but the steak was chewy and super rare when they told us it would be around medium. The fries were decent. Avocado aioli was good. The garlic aioli tasted like flavored sour cream. The lobster wontons were mostly cream cheese. As for dessert - they ended up being out of the brûlée and the orchard crunch. Matthew so kindly heard our requests for alternatives and checked with the kitchen to substitute for affogato, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. We werent impressed by the food, but we did have a late reservation so maybe earlier wouldve provided a better tasting experience. There weren't too many positives to mention during this dining experience but Matthew definitely helped us enjoy our time at Boca even though the food wasn't terrific!

    Brie & Apple Flatbread 8/10

    We had the perfect date night at Boca - Lake Mary. Our server Genny was excellent. He was patient with our indecisiveness. We came in thinking we'd have magical dining but after perusing the menu we had huge internal debates about getting the deal or all the things that looked appetizing to us. Thanks to Genny answering all of our questions and making recommendations we went with all the things we wanted. And all our choices were wonderful. The wontons are ridiculous 10/10. The Brussels and syrup 10/10. Blueberry cobbler with at minimum a million blueberries and the generous scoop of ice cream 10/10. We loved the atmosphere. And the manager and other staff seemed very friendly as well. The only person who could use a little work was the hostess; Not the most welcoming personality. But we cannot wait to return to try the other items that piqued our interest.

    This would be a challenge for g-free people to eat here. There was no g-free options listed on the menu. I decided to do the Magical Dining menu and started with an unimaginable Ceasars Salad. I forgot to tell them no croutons but my table mates gladly ate them up as fast as I could placed on the plate. Our server was prompt, friendly and attentive. I loved the bottles of water left on the table to serve ourselves as needed. The atmosphere is very casual but still keeping an upper class vibe. Prices reflect the hurt that many businesses are feeling.

    Boca will always hold a special place in my heart, as the first time I met my husband was at the Winter Park location. While the WP location is special to us, Lake Mary is much closer, so why not try it out?! Our party of five had a 5:30pm reservation and even though we arrived early, it was no problem to be seated. The company has done a fantastic job at decorating and laying out this location. I love the vibes! We all took advantage of the limited time Magical Dining menu. The portions were a lot bigger than I was expecting and everything was phenomenal. Some highlights were the pork tenderloin, lobster wontons, and donut holes with caramel dipping sauce. Our server, Jose (I think), was very kind and patient with our slow to order group. He checked on us multiple times. Boca Lake Mary might just be my new favorite restaurant in the Orlando area. The food, service, and ambiance combine well together to make the total package shine. I can't wait to return.

    Latte
    Brenda J.

    This experience was a mixture of hits and misses. We went out for brunch. This is a nice location with an inviting atmosphere. I ordered a mocha latte and the server said they have chocolate syrup and she would try to make. It tasted good but I thought it was odd not to have a mocha latte on the menu. Next we had two appetizers, the fried tomatoes that were luke warm with a cold spread or jam on top. They had a good flavor but it was off to have that it served with a cold topping when you would expect the tomatoes to be hot. The lobster wonton were delicious and were served hot. For our meal hubby had eggs, sausage gravy and bacon. He said it tasted good. I ordered steak and eggs with potatoes. The only part that was hot was the fried eggs. The steak was luke warm and slightly under cooked served with cold under cooked wet potatoes. I ate some of the steak and took the rest home to cook it to medium rare. Lastly the crab benedict my daughter shared was not enjoyable. The whole dish did not come together well. The whole dish was cold. I am not sure I would return to this location.

    Boca is one of the better restaurants that I have been to lately. The food is amazing from the perfectly seasoned steaks to the garlic fries. The food is delicious. The wonderful appetizers like the fried Green Tomatoes or the calamari. They have a small but perfect menu of perfect main dishes to chose from. And please Don't skip the desserts. I promise they are mouth watering I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my experience. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is clean and has a great warm vibe. There is ample street parking. If you want a great meal you have found the right place!

    This is Boca's fairly new location in the Lake Mary/Heathrow area and I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday there. We started with the ahi tuna crisps, which is one of my favorite appetizers here. Since we were celebrating, we also ordered cocktails, including the Purple Reign, Table Side Old Fashioned, Smoke on the Water, and Thyme After Thyme. We started with the ahi tuna crisps, which were a great appetizer. Since we were celebrating, we also ordered several cocktails, including the Purple Reign, Table Side Old Fashioned, Smoke on the Water, and Thyme After Thyme. I've had these drinks before, and they're always delicious. For our main dishes, we ordered the Milanese Chicken Breast, Mafaldine Bolognese, OMG Burger, and the Scampi Style Seafood Bucatini. These were great choices. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for both celebrations and a nice night out. Our server was friendly and checked on us throughout the night. If the weather is nice I recommend seating outside, their outdoor area is nice and at night is beautiful with string lights.

    Went for girls dinner and I was blown away! Every Thursday is ladies night with an awesome $15 dinner that includes a ceasar salad, Fries and some crostini's! What an amazing and tasty deal. Can't wait to come back. They also have amazing martini specials. The espresso martini was chefs kiss. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant itself is clean and modern and beautiful. Don't sleep on this Lake Mary location!

    The Pig and the Bee flatbread

    It was date night for my wife and I, we decided to try Boca for the first time and the experience was amazing! The food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly cooked. Well balanced flavors and textures. Our server Justin was very attentive and helpful the entire night. He helped us decide everything from drinks and appetizers to entrees and desserts. He was very knowledgeable, descriptive, and accurate on his recommendations. The ambiance is perfect for a date night, drinks with friends, or any event really. They have lots of tables, a large bar, and even a private area if you have the need for it. We got two mocktails because we were participating in dry January. I got the passion fruit Boat Drinks and my wife got the Hibiscus Nojito. Both drinks were really good! To start we got the French Onion soup and the Pig and the Bee flatbread. Both were really tasty. The French Onion soup was nicely balanced with the perfect amount of cheese on top. Next time we'll ask for more croutons. The flatbread was delicious!! It was the thinnest, crispiest flatbread I've ever had with the right amount of toppings. The salty and savory meats with the drizzle of hot honey was perfect. For entrees my wife got the Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Shrimp and I got the Staff Meal which happened to be a Chicken and Bacon carbonara...the gnocchi was incredible. The textures and flavors were amazing. The carbonara was really good too but the gnocchi stole the show. For dessert we got a latte and a cappuccino and got the Cherry Cobbler to go. I reheated the cobbler in a ramekin in my air fryer, it was so delicious!! We will definitely be back!

    This was my first time visiting Boca. Upon entering we were greeted and immediately seated. I decided on my usual Steak and Eggs with Fresh Fruit. I also ordered the Boca Espresso Martini. Others in my group ordered the Parmesan Truffle Fries, Fried Green Tomatoes, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Farmhouse Breakfast, Brie & Apple Flatbread, and Cardigan Cocktail. The Steak and Eggs were ok. The Steak looked burnt and dry but actually tasted good. It was seasoned and juicy. The Boca Espresso Martini was delicious. It had a great blend of coffee and alcohol. I sampled the Cardigan and thought it was great. The flavor of the pear came through and mixed well with the other ingredients. I loved the way the coffee was presented and served. Everyone else especially enjoyed the Brie & Apple Flatbread. I would return again to try other food options. I definitely want to return just to try the Spritz tree. I have seen it in person and it looks wonderful.

    Zucchini fries with green goddess dressing and fried green tomatoes.   The green goddess was perfect.
    Mia P.

    Boca is a relaxed, neighborhoodrestaurant vibe paired with food that is for comfort. This is a spot that takes foods and gives them just enough polish to feel special. The fried green tomatoes are a standout starter, crispy on the outside, with that perfect tangy bite inside that only a well cooked green tomato delivers. The pimento cheese topping was delicious. The coating was light and well-seasoned, allowing the tomato's natural flavor to shine rather than overpowering it. The zucchini fries are equally addictive Crunchy, and not at all greasy, with a tender interior that makes them feel fresher and lighter than your average fried side. The green goddess dressing was EVERYTHING for these zucchini fries. Definitely get more of that dressing. Then there's the OMG Burger, which fully earns its name, so juicy and tender. I loved the burger and the fresh cut potato fries. Paired with Boca's casual atmosphere and great service, the OMG Burger alone is reason enough to come back, but I loved the atmosphere here too. Would highly recommend for a relaxed and elegant meal.

    LOBSTER WONTONS - cream cheese, scallions, citrus soy glaze dipping sauce
    John R.

    I have had the Boca in Winter Park bookmarked for quite a while and this newly opened location ended up being the first one to visit. The outside area is nice but a bit small. Service was attentive. The LOBSTER WONTONS - cream cheese, scallions, citrus soy glaze dipping sauce were a great way to start dinner. The ZUCCHINI FRIES - green goddess dressing were a bit of a surprise as I did not expect them to look like potato fries! I really enjoyed my SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI Oyster - mushroom, garlic sage cream, parmesan, broccolini, brown butter as my main meal and it was nice to have an Elderberry Cider as a light option for a drink. Overall, very happy with my first time experience and I will be back!

    We heard about this place from our friends so when it was time to get the gang together- I said hey…read moreshould we go to Zacapa? She said YES! On arrival, the staff remembered my friend. They're like- cilantro allergy right? Hahahaha. Then they say us at two large tables in the back. Thank goodness because everyone had their kids so there were 5 adults and 4 kids. We had plenty of room back there for the kids to be kids. Our server was great. I had no idea they would tack on 20% tip to our bill, but she wasn't slacking. She was still earning that tip. She brought out chips and salsa and then got our drink order. That helped keep the kids occupied. My friend suggested the margarita flight- so I went for it. The menu is an iPad with pictures of everything but it's also a lot of clicking back and forth and kind of overwhelming. My friend loved the carnitas fajitas and got that again. She gave me a bite- the pork was in chunks but it was so flavorful and tender. I had the shrimp tacos- wow! There were four huge shrimp in each taco (3 tacos) so it was about 3/4 of a pound of shrimp or maybe even a pound! Mine came with a side of rice and beans- which you can adjust a little but not too many options exist. I did not want beans but I also did not want double rice lol. Hers came with the usual fajita stuff- lettuce, guac, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. Both dishes came with your choice of corn or flour tortillas The guys got the chicken fajitas and the molcajete, which came w the same platter of sides and tortillas. There was food everywhere. The kids got chicken tenders, black beans, refried beans, rice, white queso dip and macaroni and cheese. They all kinda shared and of course didn't finish their food. I think they got full on chips and salsa. The margarita flight I had has many choices for flavors. I got kiwi, coconut and blackberry. All were very good but all very sweet. They put a lot of syrup in there. I think you'd be better off just getting a regular margarita or one flavored one because the flight cups are smaller than typical margarita glasses. So if they're putting one squirt of syrup, it's probably too much for that little glass. So next time I'll just get the coconut margarita. They have churros and what not but we opted against dessert. The kids wanted ice cream from the place down the plaza (Violet's- it's great! See my review). We boxed up our leftovers (I couldn't eat all three tacos; I had one left, plus my rice and beans) and paid the tab. She was nice to split it up by family and I'm sure that was not easy! I did not use the restroom but most of us did. The restrooms look like singles but they're not. The women's has two stalls behind that door so don't get caught waiting in the hallway. Go inside. My friend's kid didn't wanna wait or couldn't wait so they went straight to the men's, thinking the women's was a one stall. Hahahaha. Parking is hard to find because it's a busy plaza. We had to park all the way down by Fishbones where the parking lot is a lot bigger. They have a front part of their restaurant which also has some bar seating and then that more quiet back room where we were seated. I would recommend this place. It's a little pricey for Mexican food but it's really good. (Also it's hard to mess us Mexican, I get it). I was impressed by the amount of shrimp in my tacos and the amount of pork carnitas and chicken fajitas they put on their platters. They also have quite a selection of flavors for their margs.

    Wow the flavors in these entrees are incredible!! I absolutely loved everything that I had. The…read moreambiance was very unique and clean. I loved the decor around the restaurant. Our server wasn't as attentive as we would've liked but a manager came over to assist with refills which we appreciated! The quesabirria quesadillas were made SO well. You also get free chips and salsa. I will say for the bubble margarita they need a bigger straw because the boba pops trying to get it through the straw since its so small. Overall we would go back we just probably would try to get a different server.

The fajitas come with sides and you receive a good amount of food, no skimping. I was also able to sample one of their Quesada's, which was delicious. Vienna was kind enough to bring over some fresh Churro's and dipping sauce for the birthday song, and there was enough for everyone in our group to try, which was really nice. The Churro's were fresh, hot, had a great crunchy exterior, and perfect blend of seasoning. The restaurant is not really big so it can get crowded during peak times. It is beautiful inside and could make for a nice date night with the wife next time she wants something special. Pricing is a bit high when compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area. I was completely satisfied with my meal and experience but know that you can find more affordable options if you are looking to save some $$$$. All-in-all, great experience, and I would recommend them.
