    the food is outstanding. We made a 7:15pm reservation and were not seated until 8:20pm which was extremely frustrating. The restaurant is small and there is minimal space for waiters to walk around/waiting space

    I’ve gone to the Boca in Winter Park and in Tampa and they are MUCH better than the Sarasota location! I will say the environment was nice in Sarasota. The server was nice but never came over to top off our waters. It was so overpriced for what I received. My Caesar salad was literally a head of lettuce cut in half (not chopped up!) with a tinyy amount of Caesar dressing drizzled on each half. I got extra shrimp and received about 7 pieces. In all my meal was $25.

    Second chance brunch at Boca. The service continued to be some of the worst my wife and I have experienced in Sarasota (we’re local foodies). No real ambience. The restaurant is incredibly loud, and the poor acoustics don’t help. The food is decent, but certainly not good enough to overcome the other issues.

    We had a group of five for brunch celebrating a birthday. Kevin and Ryan were our servers and they took great care of us from beginning to end! They were attentive and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. The menu is original and everything we ordered was excellent. One of my favorite downtown restaurants.

    I made a reservation for boca and because the system let me I assumed they were open, however, they were not. This was disappointing as it was for a birthday and we’ve been for the past three years.
