Boca

I would give 100 stars if I could. This restaurant is absolutely impeccable! From the beautiful atmosphere, delicious food & drinks to the wonderful staff: you will not leave disappointed. Also, the "In The Air Tonight" cocktail is by far the absolute best drink I've ever had!

Nice brunch menu with lots of drinks options including cocktails. We enjoyed salmon lox (hubby says melt in your mouth goodness) and the avocado toast on the patio. Service was good. We'd definitely visit again.

Great restaurant. Clean, bright, inviting. Outdoor alfresco dining. Large bar. Great wine selection. GET THE CITRUS BRINED PORK CHOP. Olivia our server did great.

The food was great and the service was excellent. We went for happy hour. Highly recommend the flatbread pizza.

The service was absolutely fantastic. The hostess held the door open for us and greeted us with a smile. We had reservations so they sat us at our table. The server was very attentive to us. The meals came out perfectly. Staff members walked by and cleared our table from the dirty dishes as we finished each meal. And who appeared to be the manager stopped by our table and thanked us for coming in today and asked if we needed anything else.

Tried Boca and loved it. We went for dinners and there wasn’t a miss. Calamari came out crispy and fresh, the zucchini and fries were on point, and the Caesar salad was super fresh. The chicken salad was filling and really well done. The Pig and the Bee flatbread deserves special mention — sweet, savory, and ridiculously good. Would order it again in a heartbeat. Also have to shout out Edie, our server. She was friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. Great food, chill atmosphere, and solid service. Boca is definitely worth checking out.

I had to update my original review because Boca has become one of our regular go-to spots. The place looks great, modern and bright inside with an open dining area and a spacious bar. There’s also a large outdoor patio area, and all of it adds to the great vibe and options! The food has been consistently great! The burgers are outstanding and easily some of the best around, the Sweet Potato Gnocchi is a standout, the Tuna appetizer is fresh and flavorful, and the Butcher’s Cut steaks (they change daily) have all been excellent (though sometimes I feel the Butcher’s Cut can be priced a bit high). The flatbreads are also very good with the tweaks they’ve made to the recipe. The staff and bartenders are always friendly and attentive, and it’s just a great place to unwind, have a drink, fill up on some delicious food, and enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you’re at the bar (where we usually are), the dining area, or outside on the patio - Boca is a great addition to the area!

I was in town for a conference and this restaurant was across from my hotel. I sat on the patio which was lovely. My waitress and the young lady that was shadowing her were amazing. They both had wonderful personalities. I started with the fried green tomatoes. They were topped with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and a little bit of bacon. They were delicious. For an entree, I had the flatbread with brie, pickled onions and a little bit of grilled chicken. This was also good, but not as good as the fried green tomatoes. For dessert, I had the caramelized apple pie. I am a huge dessert fanatic. However, this dessert was too sweet. People who know me, know that I rarely find something too sweet. The cake portion with the apples was perfect. But the frosting was too sweet and heavy. Without asking the waitress took the dessert off of the bill. I actually would have paid for it because I ate half of it, but she insisted on removing it from the bill. I truly appreciated her kindness.

The place is very nice; the service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt very pleasant. Everything was clean and well organized. The soups are a bit spicy; if you don’t like heat, I suggest mentioning it beforehand, as they add cayenne as a topping. Personally, I do like spicy food. The cilantro and lime sauce they put on the mashed yuca is exquisite—we even had to order it on the side. I also tried a white chocolate martini for the first time, and it was very good. Just be careful not to drink and drive, as even with one glass, I could feel it.

Boca Lake Mary absolutely knocked it out of the park. Every single dish we ordered was a hit. The calamari was perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the zucchini and fries were seasoned just right—impossible to stop snacking on. The Caesar salad was fresh and well-balanced, and the salad with chicken was hearty, flavorful, and beautifully put together. But the real standout was The Pig and the Bee flatbread—sweet, savory, crispy, and completely addictive. One of those dishes you keep thinking about long after you leave. On top of the amazing food, our server Edie was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless and welcoming. Service like hers truly elevates a meal. Great food, great vibe, and outstanding service. Boca is clearly doing something right. Can’t wait to come back and dive deeper into the menu. Highly recommend!

Service was great! Our waitress, Brittany was extremely helpful and attentive. Atmosphere is nice as well. Clean tables, cloth napkins and plenty of seating areas for guests.

Mari Diaz

Loved their soft opening, Emily was great being serviced at the bar by her, food was amazing we ordered 3 of the lobster wontons because they were so delicious, also had the margarita flatbread and calamari’. The drinks were good as well. Definitely have planned to come back for brunch next week and for happy hour! So glad to have them here in LAKE MARY!! ❤️❤️❤️

BOCA is another great lunch spot for me and my coworkers. We came here recently to celebrate a coworker’s anniversary, and it was a fantastic choice. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. Can’t wait to come back and explore the rest of the menu!

Boca Lake Mary totally outdid expectations!!!!! The food was absolutely spectacular, their selection of mock-tails is VERY impressive as someone who does not drink, and the staff was awesome! The door was opened for me on the way in and out, my server was full of recommendations, flavor combos, and modifications for me, and the manager, Derek, even stopped by the table to check in on us. Will definitely be trying out the brunch sometime soon as they let me see a menu and MAN does it sound fantastic!!!! Overall a great new place in Lake Mary.

We had an amazing Valentine’s Day at Boca! The specialty couples menu was fantastic, and the 32oz Tomahawk steak we shared was cooked to perfection, tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Our waitress, Brett, truly made the entire evening exceptional. She was knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. Her wine recommendation paired perfectly with our steak, and she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Brett created such a relaxed and elevated atmosphere that we genuinely felt like VIPs the entire night. This was such a memorable experience, and we will absolutely be back!

We hosted a bridal shower at Boca and had the most incredible experience. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating to our party. They even gave our bride a card congratulating her on her future marriage! Not only were they overly kind, but the food was fresh and delicious. I cannot recommend Boca enough. Whether it’s for an event, or a casual meal, Boca has my business! Thank you to the Boca team for making it all happen!

Skyler (Sky) was an amazing server! She was super attentive and helpful, and her recommendations really made our dining experience special. We dined outside last evening, and she was professional, lovely, and genuinely welcoming the entire time. This is truly how all servers should be. Thank you, Sky — we enjoyed every minute! 😇

Richard Sanchez

My mom and I sat at the bar and the service was incredible. The bartender was super knowledgeable on the menu and made great recommendations for our entrees. The sweet potato Gnocchi was out of this world. What impressed me the most is that in the time span we were in the restaurant, we met both the General manager Derek, and the assistant general manager Megan. They were truly hosting their restaurant guests. Will definitely be returning to tty the brunch menu that I’ve heard is great. Outstanding service and food.

Great spot to get together with friends. Had dinner there last night and it was a very nice experience. Our server was very accommodating and let us catch up before gathering our orders. The food was good— we had the pappardelle bolognese, salmon and shrimp and grits. I got surprised with a birthday cake and flowers and we had french press coffee as well which was delightful. Will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu.

We had brunch at Boca and everything was excellent. The food and drinks were tasty, the service was attentive, and the place is beautifully decorated. We’re definitely hoping to come back for dinner next time!

The service was outstanding! Friendly, prompt, unobtrusive. Both the server and the food runner were knowledgeable and built rapport with us. We loved it. The food was ok. We had the soup of the day - clam chowder - well spiced, balanced flavor, good texture. It had a spice that I couldn't pin but thought it gave it a little strange flavor. It was good though! I finished it all. Fried green tomatoes - good size, well presented. The staff meal was chicken piccatta - delicious. The lobster wontons - it needed something. Maybe they were overdone? Not sure, but I couldn't finish them and did not enjoy them as much. The hibiscus martinis were great - awesome presentation and the taste was sweet and tangy. The setting was comfortable, more industrial type vs cozy but still good. They have an outside setting which would be good once the weather allows it. I would prefer the booths over the high top tables but there were people everywhere and it was busy. I would recommend for a non-pretentious meal.

We had not been to this location until last weekend. The first time we went, we couldn’t get in, and wound up going across the street. Having said that, the food was good and we had no complaints about either it or the service. Our only complaint was how noisy it was. It was almost impossible to have a conversation without yelling at each or (or our waitress for that matter). Will definitely try it again, though.

Came here for the first time for brunch at noon. We were seated promptly and the service was very good. I got the staff special, the salmon benedict. It was good, but a bit too wet. My friend got the biscuits and gravy, and enjoyed it. The reason I'm only giving 3 stars is because it was horribly hot inside. My friend and I were sweating, and I saw another guest fanning himself. It was so hot I just wanted to leave ASAP. They need to install curtains or heat blocking blinds, because you will be sweating throughout your meal.

Waitress was not on it... she was very nice but little scattered. Took forever to bring me my drink sweet tea Had to ask the gm to bring me a glass. Other wise place was very nice. I heard the others at my table said steak and egg was not good.

Dinner out with wife and my two adult kids. Waitress was pleasant enough and restaurant seemed clean and well decorated. For appetizers we got calamari and a tuna bites on wonton skins type thing. Calamari was meh. It was a big bowl which was pleasant to view, but further inspection, the pieces were quite small, and there was fried onions and just flaky fried pieces. The marinara was good as well as the aeoli, but not much calamari despite the larger appearance. The tuna bite were fantastic. By far the best part of the meal. Wife got a ceaser salad with grilled shrimp. Salad was good but the shrimp was scary rare and translucent I got a beet and citrus salad with grilled chicken. Salad was tasty, but a bit heavy on the vinegar. Couldn’t eat more than a few bites. The chicken was tough and bitter. Daughter had a chicken flatbread. She loved it. Son had a burger he loved his as well. Kids ate their meals no complaints, were happy. My wife and I ate about a third of our meals then had to stop. We couldn’t eat the proteins at all. Waitress asked how everything was and I told her everything. What we loved, and what we didn’t in detail. I always try to be honest so management can improve and adjust. That’s what I would want if I owned a business. She said she would bring a manager to talk with us. I didn’t need to repeat myself I just wanted them to know. The waitress returned and offered to comp one of our appetizers or give us a free dessert. The manager never came. I didn’t not need a appetizer to be comped as I just wanted the manager to know how the meal was since they asked. I have plenty of money to pay for a dinner out, so I wasn’t asking for a cheaper meal. If more restaurants listened to their customers, they would thrive rather than leave people having to communicate through poor reviews. So disappointing that some dishes were fantastic and I would have loved to review that, and if they simply replaced the dramatically undercooked shrimp, and tried again with the chicken, they would have a great review( mistakes happen) Instead, they never offered to fix it, didn’t apologize and simply comped the cheapest thing on our bill. I am being fair and honest and hope that someone reads this and improves the customer experience. I paid the bill gave a 20% tip and will never return and it’s fine.
