i was there Friday night with my partners mother and it was so disappointing. I called and made a booking on Tuesday and i got the date wrong so i called and cancelled my Tuesday booking and made one for the friday. The guy i talked to didn't cancel by booking on Tuesday. friday booking i asked for a table near the window as my partners mother has been wanting to go there for 2 years but we were seated they sat us in the corner not what the guy said we were sitting. When we got there oliva sat us down and gave us menus but when we asked about the menu she didn't know much about the menu or the pasta.

Read moreFabulous food and service. Boca Chica is more than a "bar", it has restaurant quality food whilst maintaining a casual atmosphere. Primarily a tapas bar, Boca Chica also offers a limited main menu of steaks and paella. The tapas experience in Australia can vary quite a bit but this is high end tapas - quality ingredients treated with respect. There are also platters for nibbles over drinks and banquet options as well as mid week specials. Dessert is also on offer and the dishes we tried were sublime (and good value when compared to restaurants in the city).

The walls are decorated with an eclectic mix of photographs from Spain and vintage mirrors and there's a wall of old record covers as well. Spanish music plays throughout our time there which was nice, but it would be lovely to have live...
Read moreMy Fiancé and myself came here to celebrate my birthday. Our waitress (Ali?) Was extremely helpful, had a great sense of humor and went out of her way to make our night one of the most spectacular. We eat out a good amount but have yet to find service that is as incredible as this! Ali, you are a credit to the business and to yourself, thank you so much for making such a great inpact on our night. To top it off, the food was absolutely incredible, the lamb rack was tender and had plenty of flavor, the gnocchi that my fiancé had was incredible also, very light and full of flavor. Our Entree was gorgeous, the Oven Baked Brie was delicious and something that We had not tried before. To top off all this, dessert, the chocolate pudding with the mascarpone cheese, stunning, light, fluffy and extremely saucy. Delicious and incredible service all round!! Thank...
