Acclaimed Chef George Morrone - the creative force behind Aqua and the Fifth Floor introduces Boca - a Steak house inspired by Morrone's Argentinean heritage.

Boca specializes in meats with Argentinean accents. Both grass and grain fed steaks are featured, cooked over oak and almond, accompanied with our signature steak sauces. Our wood-burning oven offers house specialties such as Provolenta, Gambas all Ajillo, Empanadas and much more. Open for lunch and dinner, BocaÌs diverse menu includes a variety of soups, salads, pastas, poultry and fresh seafood.

Famous San Francisco restaurant designer Michael Brennan (Tartare, Cortez) designed Boca to elicit the feel of a rustic Estancia (a ranch found in South America).

Boca spotlights unique wines and small producers. The 150-bottle list offers a changing selection of 15-wines by the glass. The list has a strong emphasis on local producers, and a focus on Argentinean and Spanish varietals.
