Boca Restaurant Review
Friday night we tried out a new restaurant near work called Boca. It's billed as an Argentinian steakhouse, and looked nice enough when we peeked in during construction. Our friends who've been came away pleased, and from what we had heard it's run by the chef from Aqua (neither Brandie nor I have ever been there, but we've heard enough good things about it and always wanted to go.)
Armed with our review we came ready to try the lobster corndogs, fries cooked in duck fat, roast chicken and Gaucho steak. We also were packing some friends (Mark, Julie, Kristen and Tim) and several bottles of wine (actually, it was Mark & Julie's wine, but Sophie had her own, a vintage 05 Similac.)
We had to wait a bit for our table (they seemed busy, but not unreasonably so for a Friday night) then managed to get a great spot outside on the patio. The evening breeze was great, and we were all appreciating the excellent weather.
I tried the corndogs, empanadas and a bit of Mark's iceberg wedge salad. Brandie got the roast chicken and I shared the Gaucho with Mark. All the food was excellent, and made us feel very decadent. Sophie was as usual (knock knock!) very well-behaved and made it nearly to dessert before she started to melt.
We're eager to go back, and can't recommend it enough. Finally some competition for the Buckeye's steaks, and it's on the way home!
