My husband I wandered into Boca for brunch for the first time on New Years Day and we've been back quite a few times since! I love the open and airy feel from all the windows and the gorgeous bar in the middle! The staff is friendly and always up for a little conversation! On my last visit I opted for the staff meal which was a Lobster Eggs Benedict and OH MY it was phenomenal! read more

I've heard of the Boca once before. Sadly it went out of business, but this location is alive and well serving up all sorts of unique dishes in the Winter Park area. Came here for a date night and took a seat at an outdoor table. Not too crowded. Streets were bustling so I opted for a side street table which provided a gentle hum of background noise as the moment froze in time around an elegant menu full of familiar flavors. I began with a cocktail. As of late my alcohol intake has waned, but I'm a sucker for a whiskey sour. This one took a risk with a Cabernet floater. Wine makes many of our problems better so why not a whiskey sour as well? Think again, this was a terrible idea. The Cabernet overpowered the frothy foam of egg white as it attempted to hang onto the mild sour flavor then too was no much for the strong red wine. This was also served on the rocks. I strongly prefer the classic Boston style sour served up in a coupe glass. Fear not! This was my only criticism of the evening. My entree was something of a masterpiece that Bach himself would be captivated by. Sweet Potato Gnocchi is the marriage of two of my favorite foods. Cooked perfectly. Light and doughy with a hint of sweetness provided by the potato and accented with a grilled chicken breast that add a bit more texture to a dish that otherwise was already swaying as gently as the low tide on a remote beach. I don't know how to accurately portray the flavors of the sauce other than perfection on a plate. I also appreciated the attempt to make it a little healthier with some greenery mixed in. This is a favorite of our server and her recommendation was spot on. Ideal for a quick bite or a filling meal anytime you find yourself poking around Winter Park especially if you have a lucky someone to be your plus one. read more

My oh my... this was a delightful experience. We went to Boca for a birthday dinner on a weeknight and were absolutely pleased with the experience! I love this spot as it's right in the heart of Winter Park, allowing for a walkable adventure to local shops pre or post-dinner I had heard so many things about the Lobster Rangoon as an appetizer - and had to get it. It was crispy, creamy, and had a delicious dipping sauce to accompany it! I asked for a side Caesar salad to start, and they ended up bringing me the entree salad (it was huge) but honestly this was so great. The toasted romaine, the crispy capers, it was probably one of my favorite Cesar salads I've ever had! I could have eaten all of it but I decided to save room for the main course - glad I did! I ordered the Seared Ribeye entree and folks... this was incredible. I don't know what impressed me more - the herb garlic butter (asked for extra to dip my broccolini into) - or the candied sangria onions... so unique and delicious! All of the elements worked SO well together... I couldn't leave a bite to spare. Oh and I stole a few truffle fries from my partner's plate.... 10/10. We celebrated the birthday dinner with a complimentary key lime pie, served with a blackberry compote of sorts - and it was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Love me a good key lime pie I'll be forever craving the Ribeye dinner for the rest of my days. It's a MUST try if you visit! read more

Didn't plan on coming- but I'm glad we did. The other spot we considered to go to was overly packed. Thank goodness Boca was open for Brunch and we were seated rapidly. Sat at the bar- ordered and we had * pancakes- delicious. Nothing special but very good. * Burger- very tasty * Fries- just ok. * eggs and bacon- bacon was good but they are cheap with the bacon (2 slices ‍). Eggs were good but nothing special. Nice staff and clean bathrooms. read more

Delicious. Love this place, their food and their service. Had a hankering for some avocado toast and some cream cheese bagels after my workout and ended up going to Boca. We also added in the fried green tomatoes for good measure:) The presentation of the dishes were quite colorful. We loved the mix of savory flavors in each of the dishes. My favorite was the bagel board with the house cured salmon, fried capers and fresh cream cheese blended with dill. The beet pickled boiled eggs were a nice touch. I completed my mission and ate every morsel of food on that board down to the last little bit of cream cheese. This was not on the menu at the time and hope it is still there! If you are ever in the area it's a nice place to grab a drink with rustic decor and seating inside and outside. With the cooler weather coming to Florida, this one of many places on Park Avenue you can hangout and eat outside while watching all the puppies stroll around. Also, don't forget to buy the staff a round:) read more

Ate here for the first time today with my husband and daughter. What drew me here initially was the grilled Caesar. You can't find it just anywhere but when it's on the menu I pounce. This one was exceptional. Two large and lovely romaine hearts were charred on the grill to perfection and topped with cheese, crispy capers, croutons and a lemony dressing to die for. I got my fix! My daughter got the burger and fries off the kids menu, which was moist and beefy and set between two perfectly toasted bun halves with what tasted like homemade ketchup. Hubs had the Southern caviar burger which he declared was one of the best he's ever had, served with delectable truffle fries. I had the bronzed scallops which were perfectly cooked, served in a creamy leek sauce full of fresh English peas - it was absolutely delightful. For dessert we had the dark chocolate orange cake which was incredibly moist and only slightly sweet, with a rich mascarpone mousse between the layers which perfectly accented the richness of the cake. Two cappuccinos topped off this perfect meal. Service was also on point. We will be back again and again as long as the food continues to be this good. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Boca - Bronzed sea scallops - Bars Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Food was great and Colby was an amazing server! I Bruce was an amazing host as well. Great place to go out for lunch.

Come with the hubby to explore the Magical Dining menu this year. The lighting and dim making you feel like an intimate setting. Our server was pleasant but seemed annoyed, but she checked on us frequently and brought everything we needed. She just seemed very short with the conversation. We loved our food starting with the crispy and delicious brussel sprouts as well as the chef special crab fondue which was served with crispy thin cut everything bagel "chips". I tried the chef special pappardelle and added shrimp but my husbands entree was way better which was the chimichurri skirt steak with potato bravas. Definitely would order that again. We ended with their donut holes served with different dipping sauces of chocolate/lemon curd/butterscotch. We had to take the chocolate cake home since we were bursting. Overall would come and enjoy some more of the menu items that we were interested in. read more

Came here after leaving the farmer's market. I usually come for lunch/dinner, but they were offering the brunch menu at the time. Order truffle fries--really good, devoured them before getting a pic--and the short rib tacos. The tacos were ok, but I probably wouldn't order them again. read more

Ever since my sister moved to Orlando, we have been exploring the foodie scene one Florida trip at a time. We didn't want to leave the dogs at home during brunch but she mentioned that we could bring the pups to Boca if we sat outside. I was definitely a little worried about sitting outside in the Florida heat, but once we pulled up and were seated at our table, I was pleasantly surprised by the shaded/covered table + overhead fans. While it wasn't blasting frosty AC, I was comfortable and that's all I ask for! I don't know what possessed me but I was in dire need of coffee and while they didn't have iced coffee, they quickly brought me a cup of hot strong drip coffee. We started out with some easily shared apps - the Boca Muffin of the Day and the Parmesan Truffle Fries. The fries were crispy and fragrant and the muffin didn't look like anything special but turned out to be fluffy and delicious! And that apple butter is EVERYTHING! The brunch entrees were pretty straightforward. I ordered the bbq pork Benedict based on the reviews on Yelp and Instagram photos. Definitely an instaworthy one, although a bit heavy for me for my first meal of the day. So if you're like me, I definitely recommend sharing! Overall, a solid brunch spot! Will have to come back to try lunch/dinner again soon! read more

We visited the Boca restaurant in Winter Park and were extremely impressed with the food and the waitress, Braden Beck. She attended to our needs and had a cheerful and upbeat attitude. We will be back!!!! Courtney Terry read more

I hadn't been to Boca in ages before attending an event here and it's clear I've been missing out. Getting the chance to try a tasting menu really highlighted the best of what this restaurant has to offer. There was a lot to try and I genuinely stuffed my face. The Brussels sprouts and lobster wontons were standouts. On the massive menu there were only a couple of misses for me which is impressive. And the drinks?! There are a lot of great places to get drinks in this town but they are absolutely hitting the mark here. I tried three seasonal cocktails and loved the autumnal vibes from each one. Service was fantastic, if you can get Jordan as a server you're lucky. Orlando's food scene is crowded in the best way so I'm very glad I got another chance to give Boca a second look. It's now at the top of my list to go back to. read more

The style is between Chic and Bohemian, a very trendy vibe, and the service is excellent. I must say try the Boca Bruchetta, the combination of salty, savory and sweet is unlikeany other. The other appetizer to try is the smoked fish dip with a sweet tangy sauce on some bread is delicious. Overall, all the food served to us was great. I recommend reservations as this place was full, we sat at the bar since it was only 3, and we were lucky to arrive when we did. Parking is a walk away across the train station, and it's a very nice area to walk around and enjoy the different stores before or after eating. I would recommend this place and will be back to try other menu items. read more

Came here on a Saturday night in August when magical dining was still going on. The "Chefs magical dining creation" Conch&Shrimp fritters were crunchy on the outside with a delicious meaty inside topped with some ground mustard. My boyfriend enjoyed the Brie & Apple Flatbread starter with Granny Smith apples + air chilled chicken. I had the ginger crusted salmon which was cooked to perfection. The Sweet grilled corn kernels contrasted with the savory tomato and edamame in the Succotash. I also had a special chefs MD creation for dessert called Plum and Fig Galette. It had a scoop of silky vanilla bean ice cream adding to the stringent baked fig on a warm thin pastry pancake. The restaurant bar was packed and the dining room full of couples and groups on double dates. The dining room is low lighting so it's nice and romantic for an evening date. read more

Stopped in at Boca hoping to catch happy hour. Ended up missing it cause it ended at 5. I couldn't find any info online or on Yelp regarding the current times for happy hour. We stayed and grabbed food anyway. I started with the season spritz. Shared a mixed salad, shrimp and lobster bucatini and zucchini fries. Zucchini fries were soggy. Salad was alright. Couldn't taste much dressing. The only thing good was the shrimp and lobster bucatini. Our waitress was nice and attentive though. I use to love boca a long time ago. read more

I came here to meet a girlfriend for dinner. Magical Dining is still going on for the rest of the week so we decided to do that option. I got the grilled Caesar salad, the skirt steak, and the chocolate cake. I really enjoyed the salad & the steak! The cake was alright, just a bit to orangey for me, but I'm a classic gal so ordering that was a little risk for me anyways. Our server was great! Attentive, but not over the top. Cute atmosphere inside, and larger than it looks from the front! Would recommend this place! read more

My wife and I went to Boca to try out the Magical Dining menu and had a great evening. She had the magical dining meal with the chef's special fried shrimp and conch appetizer, skirt steak with chimichuri, and key lime pie. I decided to try the lobster wantons and the short rib tacos.

This was our first visit but I guarantee we will be returning soon! read more

My husband and I just had our rehearsal dinner at Boca. What a wonderful experience it was! Initially, we were working with the previous events manager but ended up with Megan. i am so happy we did. Megan made the event feel extra special. She printed adorable holiday colored menus for each guest, decorated the area with precious little scented pinecones and cranberries, and made sure that our every needs were met. Connor and Cassidy served our entire group without any issues. For context, there were 39 people in attendance. Cassidy took care of my side of the room and was extremely attentive. I never had to ask for any extra attention. She was great ensuring that no one had to wait on a drink. Speaking of drinks, Matt and Auston absolutely crushed it behind the bar. This group had MANY drinks and they were able to keep them coming. I had the same drink three times and never once did the taste very. I was really impressed with their speed and consistency. To Alexi the Sous Chef, our food was incredible. I ate every morsel of food plated in front of me. I had the kale caesar (loved it), sweet potato gnocchi, and the chocolate espresso cake. People raved about the 60 spiced chicken. During dinner, they allowed us to bring in our own PA system so we could make toasts and speeches. After dinner, Megan presented me with a congratulations card with signatures from the entire staff. It was really sweet. i have the card in my wedding box as we speak. If they weren't accommodating enough, they even gave us two flutes of champagne at the end of the night. I had such an amazing experience here. I would absolutely recommend Boca for any group or event dining. We also want to thank Shai, the GM who clearly hired the best people for the job. What a remarkable experience that undoubtedly stemmed from the top! read more

I had a party of 7 people to do a fellowship on Sunday for brunch. We made a reservation and we're seated quickly. The decor and vibe is really good. The space is small, so a reservation is suggested for parties over 4. Our server was a little busy with multiple tables. She left for long periods of time and we were left having to request to have our order taken for apps, then for food, and multiple requests for drink refills. We are not certain if it was the order entry or the kitchen but I was the last one to eat, with the easiest order an omelet. The manager did come over and apologize while I waited for my food. When he brought me my food I told him it was incorrect because I could see the onions in my omelet. He tried to convince me it was white cheese. I asked him if he wanted me to cut into it to show him, he said yes and then took it when I showed him. He brought me another one, which I only at the potatoes because the omelet was undercooked and runny inside. I waited so long I didn't want to send it back again. He took it off the bill, but I was so disappointed because I was so hungry and looking forward to eating. Everyone in my party did say the Pig & The Bee was the best thing on the table. It was really good. I am willing to go back again to see if this was a one time only incident, but it will be a while. read more

This was my first time here and it wasn't bad. Parking is typical winter park, all street, but the free parking garage is close by. They do not mask here. There is outdoor seating, bar seating, and even more seating in the back of the restaurant. Definitely bigger than I expected. Happy hour is not included on fridays. Ordered the fried green tomatoes, and they were perfectly seasoned with some cheese, and bacon. Very flavorful! We also ordered the zucchini fries which were crispy and bomb. The fish dip came with bread and a a bunch of pickled sides. They did bring more bread when we ran out. The cocktails were so pretty and tasty. Water was served out of the carafes and no ice. I ordered the kale salad with the dressing on the side and the chimichurri chicken. For some reason, I thought it would be a warm kale salad, but it wasn't. My salad didn't seem fresh, like it was just out of the bag, and not washed. The dressing was average nothing spectacular. The chicken was flavorful, but it was definitely grilled from frozen. Husband ordered the burger, and although visually wasn't that appealing, the taste was there. It did come out medium well as requested. The fries were a bit soggy. Definitely needed to be popped in the air fryer again. Service was good especially since we had a party of 8. read more

Absolutely love this place for brunch! They have a wonderful dinner as well, but the brunch is my favorite! I do wish that they would switch the menu, but they do have a different staff meal every time as well as a new muffin. We had a banana chocolate chip muffin and it was absolutely delicious! The staff meal was a chimichanga with scrambled eggs and chorizo. I love the outside area and that you can make a reservation. It is difficult in Winter Park to find a really good brunch place that you can make a reservation at. The hostesses are very friendly and are always very accommodating when I call. I love this place, the truffle fries are absolutely yummy! I feel like the portion size keeps getting smaller every time I come though! This restaurant is a farm to table, so it makes you feel good when you eat food from here because you know it is fresh and locally sourced. They also have bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary's at brunch time. Try it, you won't regret it! read more

Made 9:30 reservations and arrived early. My mum walks with a cain and they let her in before the restaurant open so she could sit. I can't tell you how awesome that was. The staff in this place were ALL very welcoming and professional. I order the chicken and waffles and was really enjoying them. Every was making so much fuss about the Madagascar vanilla pancake I had to do a trade for one. And man that pancake was so good with the bourbon syrup. My mum had the platter with ham and at 84 she doesn't eat much. It had to be good cause she nearly ate it all. If you have read this far give this spot a try. read more

Horrible experience. My wife and I went around 5:30pm for dinner with our baby in a stroller. We were placed in the back room of the restaurant by ourselves. That set a bad tone for me. I immediately had no desire to spend money here. In order to accommodate their "after work happy hour" crowd we were placed in the back. There was a table by the wall with enough space for a stroller and wouldn't disrupt their bar people. Then we were charged more for a bottle of wine than what was written on their menu. The chicken I had was served with a layer of thick fat. That was not appetizing. Lastly, our waiter barely came to our table. We had to ask the manager for the check, who didn't really seem to care. read more

Super inviting atmosphere and really popular so I recommend reserving a table if you're going for brunch. The food is really good. Everything is seasoned really well except the chicken and waffles. I was really surprised because the chicken was flavorless but the waffle was delicious. The steak and eggs is the best brunch item. Super well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Salmon lox board is also good but more of an appetizer than a meal. The portion is pretty small. Overall, I really like this place. read more

Boca (Winter Park) is one of my top 'go to' places for meeting up with my girlfriends to catch up, and/or date night with my husband! We have our favorite menu items - flatbreads, OMG burger, best mussels in town (for real!), etc... the drinks are so good - lots of options! But, what truly makes Boca special is the atmosphere and the people. There's a bit of a "Cheers" vibe -- you often recognize familiar faces, and the staff is consistently warm, polite, and welcoming, even when they're busy. Thank you for providing a consistently wonderful experience. We appreciate you! read more

Unfortunately, this place missed the mark for me. I arrived with my friend on time for reservations. We received our drinks and appetizers on time which were actually pretty good. When it came time to order my burger and his turkey and pimento sandwich, we still had no issues. It seemed to be a decently busy time but I felt that it was manageable and I did not receive my burger or the pimento and turkey sandwich after an hour and 15 minutes. Our server only walked by one time at that point, and did not mention anything about the kitchen being backed up. At some point we were able to get the attention of the staff member and because we did not hear anything, and did not know how long it would take to get our food we decided to leave so we closed our tab. They did comp us a drink but we did not get a chance to try all the food. I would have liked a little communication which would have convinced me to try this place again. Best of luck, but there are other places out there for me. read more

Atmosphere/Ambiance: Large bar area. Seating area was more intimate - tables close to each other. Some outside seating. They keep sliding doors open on cooler days which was nice. Service: Service was okay. They seemed a little understaffed. Food came out quick but our server would disappear. We waited a while to get our check Food: Chicken and waffles were excellent. Waffles were a liege style waffle. There was gravy and the chicken was very moist. Definitely a lot and very heavy for one person. Would be a good meal to split. Also had the salmon eggs Benedict. Smoked salmon was very fresh but the rest was pretty average. Nothing special about the Benedict. read more

There are honestly so many options to eat in this area, I will not be returning. I would've preferred Panera across the street which says a lot. Our server seemed like she was always in a hurry and if we asked for anything like salt, or something to balance our wobbly tables, she seemed bothered. Not sure what her deal was. read more
