    We usually have good experience here. Tonight was not. Street corn was soupy and not enough corn. Also had lime juice in it which was odd tasting. Chicken was tough and dry ended up sending it back. Manager did comp the chicken so that was nice. Still experience was lacking.

    Skirt steak was outstanding, as was the Boca Chocolate desert. Too much garlic butter on Mahi Mahi. Forgot to ask for salad dressing on the side and it was overdressed. Service was stellar + easy substitutions.

    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.
