    We dined at Boketto for my birthday. Our server added so many special touches to make my birthday dinner special. There were rose petals on the table, a delicious mocktail for everyone, a tasty dessert, and a glass of Prosecco for a toast. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable about menu options, and gave us great suggestions. The food, service, ambiance, and entire experience was incredible!!

    It was a good dining experience. . . Roomy and the place was not too loud. I had mushroom risotto (which I shared with my son) and my husband had ribeye and a chocolate mousse we shared after the meal. Both were cooked to perfection. Our server was exceptional. We’re glad to hear that they will resume their lunch hours. We will definitely go back.

    The omelet bar was very good, has a nice selection of items you can have add to your omelet. Could have had a few more options for sides. Nice that brunch included premium coffee & juice. Friendly staff, which is always nice.
