They have moved to downtown where the Maisonette used to be. Just reopened this week. The portions looked small but were very rich. Could have not eaten another bite by the time we were ready to leave. The grilled Caesar salad was to die for.

Boca is always a great dinning experience. I was there during their last week in this location. They are moving to downtown Cincinnati shortly. Hopefully, they will keep the high food quality and service which Boca has always had. One suggestion ... my son loves the sliders which are not on the main dinner menu. You can have them as... More

Wood fired grill. Sous-vide. Sushi. Outstanding food and wine list. Given the above cooking styles you can actually go here and have a reasonably healthy meal (but only if you try!)

We have eaten at restaurants all over the world. Our most difficult cuisine to enjoy is Italian. My wife is Italian and nothing compares to Grandma. Occasionally, in the hills above Sorrento, in the Tuscan countryside, on a back street in Rome, at a trattoria in San Francisco, or a tiny restaurant in the West Village, she will find the... More

After moving back from Europe my husband and I were feeling a bit depressed about the food selection in southwest Ohio. However, after a Valentine's dinner at Boca, we are both feeling happy and revived! The food was great and the service was top notch. Thank you for renewing our culinary spirit!

This is our favorite spot to celebrate life's milestones. The waitstaff bring their expertise to the table with the wine and the food. The anticipation of the cuisine is satisfied in every way. Amazing flavors and textures delight from seared scallops, brussels sprouts from heaven to desserts too tempting to pass up. It is pricey, but an experience to remember.

My husband & I visited Boca for the first time over the weekend and had an AMAZING meal! Boca may just be my new favorite restaurant in Cincinnati! We each had the "3 course & dessert" and everything was outstanding! It is not a cheap spot to dine, but for the food and the experience, it is worth every penny.... More

We've been to Cincinnati many times but we had somehow never visited Boca until recently. With the exception of the Tuna Tartare which we sent back (we found it bland) everything that we ate was truly exceptional. The fish (we ordered halibut and sea bass) was as moist and delicious as you could ever imagine and all of the desserts... More

I have eaten at Boca a few times now and have yet to be disappointed. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the service top notch. The menu is straight forward and uncomplicated with well thought out parings on each offering. The decor of the restaurant is contemporary, simple and rich and you are immediately greeted by the smell of... More

My wife and I indulged in the chef's 7 course tasting menu with wine pairings a few weeks ago. The wine pairings were spot on, and each course presented different ingredient combinations with great depth of flavor. Particular favorites include the scallop with caramelized Brussels sprouts, the Skuna Bay Salmon (which was cooked perfectly and melted in the mouth) with... More
