We haven't been to Boca Bay since they updated their menu two years ago. They have a nice outdoor seating area which we really like after the beach. We decided to give it a try on a recent Sunday evening. The menu was great with a nice selection of small plates, some sushi and even a diverse price fixed menu.... More

After catching and releasing over 50 Black Sea Bass in May, I get to enjoy an awesome portion on a bed of corn and salsa, topped with avocado and salsa. We stayed at Hampton Suites one block away!

Stopped here for brunch on the way out of Wilmington and so glad that we did! The food here was great! The buffet offers something for everyone from traditional breakfast foods to light pastries to custom omelettes.

Last Sunday, visited the standby here 1/4 mile from the water - Boca Bay. Sunday brunch sometimes has lines of folks waiting for the buffet, but it is well worth it. Indoor, outdoor dining options, very nice. Brunch buffet, breakfast, lunch stuff, and you can order a personal omelet from the kitchen window in the back just behind the bar.... More

The food is great and the atmosphere is also. Great she crab bisque plus their prices are competitive. It's hard to believe how improved it is over the past place called Locals. Parking is a little tough but otherwise, a definite place to go especially Sunday brunch..Wow!

Love the feel of this place. Charming and the food is delicious. We went for the happy hour menu, and we were very pleased. We had the clams and lettuce wraps. We are going back in a few days to have more of the same and try some new items.

I have eaten here 3 times, 2 times for Sunday brunch. Their Sunday brunch is quite lovely. Good chance it will be crowded, parking can be difficult, but they do offer valet parking. Food is what is king here. Many wonderful selections to choose from. Atmosphere is quite nice. Price is about as you would expect next to the beach... More

Trip advisor had a high rating for this place and we wanted the best for our first night in the area. Sad choice. Pricy bland food. Fish and pork dish were nearly tastless, but it had good crab bisque for $9 a bowl! Wouldn't go back, we found much better choices in the immediate area.

We had the Sunday brunch and found it to be fabulous. The buffet of foods seemed endless and the serve was as good as I have ever had. The wait staff were all friendly and very accommodating. I really must say it just a fabulous dining experience. Do make reservations!!
