Came to Boca for Magical Dining a couple of weeks ago to finally give it a try, and it left much to…read morebe desired. The food, for the most part, was simply okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. Nonetheless, despite it being just okay, I'd visit this restaurant again.
For Magical Dining, I started with the Caesar Salad, which was baby gem lettuce with sourdough croutons, Caesar dressing, parmesan crisps, and a grilled lemon. The salad itself was okay. I've definitely had nicer Caesar salads, but overall, it did the job. I followed it up with the Butcher's Cut at medium-well (this probably the highlight of my Magical Dining experience), and then capped my dining experience with the Southern Orchard Crunch, which included caramelized peaches, graham cracker mousse, chantilly cream, pralines, vanilla wafer crumble, and mini marshmallows. Sadly, I did not like the Southern Orchard Crunch at all. I wish I had ordered the Vanilla Orange Crème Brûlée. I paired my meal with one of their cocktail staples: The Hibiscus Martini. Their Hibiscus Martini included the following ingredients: Cathead honeysuckle vodka, hibiscus St. Germain, Munyons Pawpaw Florida liqueur, hibiscus syrup, lemon, and was topped with a citrus cloud. It was a lovely, light, and refreshing cocktail. All in all, I was not super impressed with any one thing on their menu. The highlight was definitely the Butcher's Cut and the Hibiscus Martini if I had to choose. Otherwise, I'd be curious to dine outside of their Magical Dining menu.
As I mentioned, I'd still visit again, and I would try more of their menu that was not featured on their Magical Dining menu (which is under the $40.00 menu option). As for general stuff, the staff was kind and very attentive. The bartender was amazing! Parking in Winter Park is always a chore to me - especially with all the construction zones on Park Ave. There is ample seating indoors as well as seating outdoors for Boca. There is also ample bar seating. The restaurant has a nice feel to it, and it is usually always fairly busy - which is always a good sign.
