Boca Landing

Waitress was wonderful, food was really good but the live music is deafening loud so you can’t even converse during dinner! Otherwise I would have given it a really high rating! Food presentation superb!

My husband took me here last night for Valentine’s Day. It was a prix fixed meal for $ 75. We got 4 courses. To start the evening the hostess wasn’t very friendly. We walked up and told her our name and she said they were backed up. Our reservation was for 8:15 and she said it’d be 30 minutes late. She said we could get a drink. I over heard other couples who were sitting at the bar that the first round was on the restaurant because of the wait but no one said anything to us.
We finally sat down just before 9 which is pretty late to start a 4 course meal. It took another 10 minutes for the waiter to address us. Thankfully the food was pretty good. I had the scallops which were delicious, lobster salad, and sea bass. The sea bass was great but it came on a bed of lentils which were hard. We had the cheesecake for dessert which was soft so I wasn’t sure if it had been left out.
Overall I wouldn’t recommend the restaurant. It’s possible they just didn’t know how to handle a full restaurant on a holiday.

First time out. Very disappointing appetizer and wait staff. The main course was good but not good enough for a return trip as there’s a number of other options in Boca far superior.

My husband and I went to dinner on Saturday, January 23^rd to your restaurant for the first time. The food was outstanding but the service does not measure up to the level of standard your restaurant portrays. Our server was not very attentive and seemed to be no where around the restaurant. We noticed other servers tending to their tables continuously. She came once and asked how our meal was and we never saw her again until my husband and I were completely done with dinner and our dirty dishes remained at the end of the table for quite sometime. Even though the food was outstanding we will think twice about coming here again due to the service.

Must have been a bad night for the kitchen. Party of nine, most ordered fish, and all the fish was overlooked.

The food is amazing though the kitchen works both restaurants and you have to wait. It’s well worth it. Ronald the manager was more than accommodating. Our server Joycelyn was awesome!!! We will definitely eat here again.

The food was good but overpriced. The view was nice.

My husband and I were taken to Boca Landing as a surprise from a dear friend of ours. When we arrived, we were stunned by the beautiful, romantic ambiance. Our server, Earl was so friendly, attentive and caring. He went out of his way to make us comfortable and happy. The food was incredible! The appetizers, entrees and dessert came out perfectly and so delicious. Between the beautiful décor and views, our wonderful server, Earl and the amazing food, I highly recommend this restaurant.

After having a surprisingly frustrating experience finding a venue to host a pre-​wedding dinner for 35 people in Boca Raton, my husband and I had the good fortune of inquiring at Boca Landing. From the very first meeting with Gabriela, we knew that we were in the right hands. She was responsive, helpful, a great listener, and really helped us every step of the way creating a memorable event for everyone. Boca Landing worked with us in selecting a menu, providing us both indoor and beautiful outdoor space for the event, and always was able to accommodate us, no matter what changes or last-​minute issues arose. We weren’t even certain of the exact guest count until a few hours before the event. One guest arrived a few hours late, and his order arrived perfectly within a few minutes of his arrival. They even provided a lot of thoughtful beautiful finishing touches, such as gorgeous orchids on each table and beautiful candlelight at no extra charge. Everyone, including some difficult-​to-​please family members, were impressed and delighted. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable.
Not only was Gabriela incredible, but so was the rest of the staff. From Daniel the director of food and beverages, Alejandro one of the managers, to Derek the valet, everyone at the hotel worked to make sure our guests had a wonderful time. Boca Landing at the Waterstone Hotel is truly a gem, and we can’t recommend them highly enough!!!

I had a dinner for 17 of my colleagues at Boca Landing. From the planning of the menu to the execution of the event, the entire staff was nothing but the best. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was festive and the service was impeccable. Every request we had was granted and everyone felt special and taken care of. Shout outs go to Gabriella and Rio and especially Christina and Matt (our awesome servers). I’ll definitely be back and will host many of my future events here as well. Well done and thanks for everything!

FIVE Stars without a doubt! The beautiful Waterstone has casual as well as fine dining right on the intercoastal in boca raton. Just a killer setting! We chose the fine dining and sat right on the outdoor patio feet from the water. It was so nice and breezy out it felt comfortable and we were never uncomfortable. I went with 4 other people and we started off with the fried calamari which was good but dont look for tentacles they only fry up the rings. They were fresh and did not taste frozen. I liked it a lot. Our waiter Earl the Pearl was fantastic even breaking out into a tune acapella style for our table… thats top notch service if I say so myself, and I just did. He never let our drinks run dry (I had a few Cabs from Napa). He even brought us a smoked fish dip complementary and also brought me a kale ceaser salad I was craving! He is a great waiter!!! Ask for Earl.seriously.
For my main dish I ordered the swordfish which came with a small kale salad and potatoes which were baked crispy. really delicious! Others at the table had the strip steak which came with a portabello mushroom cap and a few (about 5) spears of fresh asparagus. The grilled salmon looked good it came with a mango salsa and rice… We ended the night with a gigantic piece of chocolate fudge cake that fed 5 with 2 scoops of ice cream and an oatmeal cookie and fresh whipped cream with blackberries and raspberries. The waterway view was simply the best part of the evening. They did wonders with the revamp of this hotel. It is so nice eating every now and then here. I really enjoy it a lot! Of course I’ll return. why wouldnt I. the food is excellent the view is breathtaking and I love being relaxed watching the boats go by with a great cabernet and delicious meal, what could be better… i’ll tell you… NOTHING!

Quiet spot inside the resort hotel. Surprisingly good Salmon, cooked perfectly to order. Sides were fresh and prepared perfectly. Service is decent and atmosphere relaxed and friendly.

One Thursday to remember. This place has everything but a mixtape, lol.
Staff friendly, accessible and unobtrusive throughout meal. Earl was AWESOME!!! Guy is just fun to dine with. Great asset to this company.
Food was solid and we picked and pulled from several spots… Mahi/​Salmon/​Oysters/​Scallops, all perfection!
Wine selection on point. And of course, Waterfront view! Can’t wait to return!!!

If waterfront dining & a soothing ambience is your thing, I can think of no better spot than Boca Landing. Sitting on Boca Lake, a basin connecting the Intercoastal to the Atlantic Ocean, you are transported to one of the most romantic settings in southern Florida. Complimenting this Shangri La like setting is a creative menu offered by the Le Cordon Bleu trained executive chef, Matt Mixon… The bar prepared a perfect Negroni, NOT served short with too much ice (a pet peeve of mine).5 stars for the mixologist. Our table of 4 shared the crispy fried calamari served with red chili pepper aoli/​parmesan dipping sauce.4/5 stars
Our server, also called Matt suggested the double cut pork chop served with a mushroom risotto… it just doesn’t get better than this…5 stars… My wife opted for the scallops which were prepared with porcini mushroom butter which she found enjoyable and I found a bit boring. Our server recommended a multi layer chocolate cake for dessert served wth 2 scoops of ice cream… a perfect finish to a 5 star meal served in a 5 star settimg. Bottom line: Boca Landing is my newest favorite restaurant in the Palm Beach /​Boca strip. Can’t wait to return.

Chef Matthew’s new menu is fantastic. Had several new items on the Boca Landing menu including the chef’s take on Calamari which was crispy with a hint of spice. The double cut pork chop was grilled perfect and seasoned just right. The risotto is came with was fantastic. Equally great was the New York Strip with a gorgonzola butter. For sides, the Lobster Mac and Cheese was off the hook. Also worth mentioning is the pasta entrée which is now featuring homemade pasta! It comes with sausage but we had chicken added as well and we shared it as an appetizer.

I have absolutely no reservations about giving this restaurant five stars.
The Executive Chef, Matt Mixon has created a tres actuelle menu and offers well constructed and beautifully plated specials. He also has a gem in his assistant, Jaime.
I had some reservations about eating in a Hilton because of past experiences that have left my palate numb, however, from the moment we arrived at their front door I could see that this hotel had a different flair.
I counted five available valets to take care of the car and one came over and said, «Well, sir I see a space right there if you prefer to park yourself.» He must have seen the little sign on my forehead that say, «Cheapskate». This was a very good start.
Lots of bowing and scraping when we entered and I was dressed in shorts, yikes. On to the ever so polite gals at the restaurant’s front desk (not to be confused with the hotels’s front desk) who offered information about the informal restaurant to the right and the full banana to the left. Despite the shorts I choose the main dining room and am so happy I did.
It is very nicely decorated for South Florida; beautiful modern design and a bar that is to die for. I really wanted to go directly to the bar because I had a feeling they might have Bombay Vermouth to go with my Bombay Gin, but my partner said, «Lets not.» OK another time. They were very busy and had no outdoor tables or window tables; not a problem because the way they have designed the room allows for a view from every seat.
In a flash the very attentive and charming, Jorge appeared and we chatted about the specials. He returned with a marvelous smoked Whitefish dip surrounded by thick cut pommes frite. Both were excellent (the dip has a nice little bite)!
Then we tried their mixed platter for two (really good cheeses, salami, prosciutto, duck pâté, and wonderful bread (exactly the right consistency) not too soft but not a croûton either.
We ordered the crepinette de boeuf; out of this world! A sort of chicken mix wrapped around a filet and secured with a piece of pork tripe. My guest had the Mustard crusted yellowfin, also exactly right. Desert was a melt in your mouth brownie and hazelut gelati.
To my surprise Jorge the creater of the crepinetti appeared and wanted to know if everything was to our liking. This, I thopught, is Palm Beach at the Colony, not Boca.
Kudos to the whole staff who made a really memorable meal for us.

There are so many different qualities that make dinner at Boca Landing in Boca Raton a truly memorable and exceptional experience. First, the restaurant is positioned right on the waterfront, so on a beautiful clear night you most definitely should have your cocktail and dinner outside.
Besides having a spectacular view the food is truly remarkable. Born in Cleveland with an Italian and French background, Chef Matthew Mixon’s experience training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris really made him a master chef. Chef Matthew has made it a point to put together a menu that not only offers Florida’s favorite dishes, but are also unique and modern at the same time.
Now, let’s talk about my favorite part, the food. Instead of serving you a basket of bread with butter, Chef Matthew prepares what he calls his version of fish and chips. These are thick-​cut potato slices that are fried like chips, and then served with a delicious fish dip. Along with this, you have to order the Gumbas Crispy Fried Calamari as it is very different from the rest. This calamari comes equipped with a red chili pepper aioli tossed with parmesan, pepperoncini and banana peppers.
If you would rather something light for dinner then I suggest you try their Fresh Crab, Black Kale, or the Burrata and Arugula Salad, which is my personal favorite.
For the main course you have several mouth-​watering options. The cool thing about the menu is that everyday Chef Matthew prepares several different specials. When I went I tried the pork belly with cauliflower and corn succotash, and chipotle honey BBQ. Words cannot describe how delicious that plate was. Other meat items I suggest you try is the filet mignon, which comes with a broken foie gras sauce, or the double cut pork chop.
Considering that Boca Landing is on the water they also have a great seafood selection. The Jerk Mahi-​Mahi is a great dish for those of you who like a little kick to you fish. It also comes on top a bed of mofongo, which is a smashed plantain with yucca in garlic oil. Other great dishes to try are their scallops, and for a side you must eat the Lobster Mac & Cheese. You won’t regret it.
In case you weren’t full already you have to share the Chocolate Beast Cake. It is called the beast cake because it is four layers of chocolate cake, whipped fudge and chocolate ganache. And it is paired with homemade hazelnut and vanilla bean gelato. It’s out of this world.
Not only does Boca Landing have a delicious dinner menu, they also have an extensive wine collection. With a 150 bottles to choose from you will never run out of options. In addition, their cocktail program is second to none, offering a true, one of a kind, artisanal cocktail program while paying homage to the classics. Featuring an extensive selection of vodkas to high end rums, Boca Landing will be sure not to disappoint.
And for those of you who would rather stop by during the day make sure to sit pool side and grab a cocktail at the bar with my friend Orville, who prepares a mean cocktail. My personal favorites are the red and white sangria, and the Cucumber Caipirinha.
If you are ever in Boca Raton, or looking for a romantic dinner getaway, I highly recommend you venture out to visit my friends over at Boca Landing. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

Stayed at the hotel. The two dishes I had were killer. The Kale Caesar was a real Caesar with real dressing which means anchovy was a flavor. It was a wet salad loaded with great cheese and excellent croutons. It is large and can be split.
The torchio pasta dish is a small plate but is easily a full meal. Honestly was one of the most delicious pasta and meat dishes I have ever tasted. The tomato cream sauce was subtle but had a deep meat base.

The Restraunt is part of a doubletree hotel so We had medium expectations. We were pleasantly surprised with excellent food, service and ambiance. The executive chef obviously know their craft. Highly recommend. Price was fair.

We’ve dined here 3 times since their opening, twice while hotel guests during a stay-​vacation, and once not as a hotel guest.
— AMBIENCE/​VIBE — The restaurant is aesthetically attractive, high vaulted ceiling, dim lighting, facing out onto the Boca inlet. It has outside seating which will be very attractive during the right seasons. Contemporary sleek look to the bar, which is tucked off into one end of the main dining room. White table cloths, modern styled silver wear and glass wear. After the sun sets, its got a sexy, romantic feel to it [or was that my 2^nd martini and wine kicking in?] Also includes a private dining room (glass walls) which seats about a dozen. The main dining room has a COOL VIBE to it, what I would call «W-​Hotel lite» GREAT VENUE FOR A Unilocal EVENT.
— MENU is a collection of SMALL SHARE PLATES which seem to be so popular these days, and simple ENTREES. Emphasis is on locally sourced food, lots of seafood selections. TUNA TARTAR, KALE SALAD, SEARED SCALLOPS, BEET SALAD, and SHRIMP COCKTAIL were all quite good, and nicely plated. I’d pass on the calamari, it was slimy and didn’t have one tentacle.
SWORDFISH, MAHI MAHI were excellent and good sized portions. The BONELESS GAME HEN was much better than I expected, real crispy. All fish dishes served with a choice of sauces, ginger, lemon oil, thai. None of the entrees come with SIDES, all ordered a la carte, and we enjoyed ZUCCHINI, TRUFFLED MASHED POTATOES, SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS, CREAMED SPINACH. Pass on the truffled fries, they were LIMP!
— SERVICE was professionally provided by Edward K., a seasoned gentleman who was attentive while not overbearing. He also had a sharp sense of wit to him, which was appreciated. ALYSSA is the restaurant Assistant food and beverage manager, and does a great job overseeing the operation.
BOCA LANDING is a welcome addition to East Boca dining, is still not well known, likely because of its location in the only recently re-​opened and re-​styled Waterstone Hotel. Management must decide on and proactively target their niche clientele. The former run-​down restaurant [Carmen’s] was located in the run-​down Bridge Hotel, and attracted many residents who live north and south of Camino Real on A1A. These folks are mainly 80+, and I’ve experienced their complaints about: «why do I have to pay for valet parking?» «the music is too loud», «where is the bread and butter?», «why aren’t the salads included with the meal?» and «where is the $ 5 wine?»
PLEASE, MANAGEMENT, YOUR INVESTORS SUPPOSEDLY POURED $ 10 MILLION INTO RENOVATING THIS PROPERTY — MARKET TO THE AUDIENCE FOR WHOM YOU HAVE DESIGNED IT.
