Not as good as the Corte Madera location, food was as good but atmosphere and service lacking.

As a local guide who frequently explores new food and drink spots, I stopped by this restaurant for a quick drink—but unfortunately, the overall experience fell short. From the moment I walked in, the energy from the staff felt disengaged and unwelcoming.

My server didn’t introduce himself or create any rapport, which is a basic courtesy in hospitality. Instead, the focus seemed solely on checking my ID (starring at it for almost 5 minutes lol) rather than acknowledging me as a guest ready to order. While I understand the importance of ID verification, it shouldn’t come at the expense of a warm, professional introduction.

I had one beer and left shortly after. The vibe lacked hospitality and balance, and I couldn’t help but notice that male servers were more polite and friendly toward female guests. If the staff dynamic stays the same, I’d suggest either incorporating more diverse servers or ensuring all team members consistently provide courteous service to every guest, regardless of gender.

I truly hope this feedback helps improve the guest experience—because with the right energy and service, this spot has potential.

The menu for happy hour says the caesar salad has white anchoivies and croutons . Well when my salad arrived there were no anchouvies and one
Crouton, and hardly any caesar dressing . I asked the waiter regarding these issues and was told $5.00 for anchoivies and happy hour doesn’t put many croutons on their salad ; try ONE . I’ve come here to this restaurant for years and to be treated like this is so hurtful and unprofessional, im so deeply disappointed. I really can’t believe it. When i voiced my frustration and disappointment both the manager and waiter were rude and unsympathetic.
This restaurant had changed not for the better but the worse

I recently ordered pizza from boca in Novato. The manager Jorge was welcoming and the staff was very fast to get the order ready. It was one of the best sausage pizza’s I have had. Very thin, and crispy crust with great flavors. You can tell it’s hand made to order. Can’t wait to go back.

Showed up early but we were seated right away. Gnocchi was great.

My mom got food poisoning from the seafood linguine. So obviously, we won’t ever be returning. The bread we ordered was just bad—It wasn’t that crispy bread you see in their photos, the saving grace of this meal was the brussell sprouts order.

Customer service was mid, our waitress was fine. But the other male waiters seemed inexperienced and unprofessional. We watched as one of the waiters stood there hitting on a group of teenage girls. The guys walked around gossiping and giggling like school girls out of a mean girls movie.

Food was definitely tasty, the pizza was a little greasy, nothing wrong and nothing exceptional about the service. They were good about refilling waters. Awesome that it was dog friendly. Overall I’d give it a 4.5 if I could.

Dietary restrictions: They customize pizzas as you need!

In the mornings there's massive smoke from their ovens. They smoke up all the surrounding area. For over an hour there's smoke in all the other seating ears outside.

Here's a solution: change to gas or electric.

Other than that, the food there is great. The eggplant is pretty good.

I live Boca. I grew up on it, their Garlic Flatbread and Pizza is AMAZING!!! Highly recommend! Staff is so kind and helpful. The only thing I don’t like is the music, it’s very loud and clashes with the music from the restaurants around it.

Kid-friendliness: They have a great kids menu, and before Covid, (they may bring it back idk) they had coloring pages for the little ones.

It was a Monday night, overall was a good place to have dinner. Summer hot day, the A/C wasn’t very good, it was hot inside.
