Pleasant environment with quick, no-reservation seating at the bar. A large TV that showed the NFL game was well-placed and made my hour spent waiting for a table at another restaurant go by quickly. The house sangria was delicious and reasonably priced for a pitcher (~6 servings). Their flights of wine also offered a fun way to experiment.

Best tapas in the area (maybe even Boston). Large portions and delicious food. So much flavor packed into the paella.

Bocado tapas wine bar has lots drinks options and their food is very tasty. They have few vegetarian options available. There is not much scope to alter your ingredients options there. Overall, they have a good ambience, food and drinks. 😍

This was my first time at Bocado and had a great experience. We received impeccable service...friendly and accommodating. The strawberry caipirinhas were amazing. Tapas is always a favorite and this did not disappoint. The timing of each plate was perfect. I wish the hot dishes came out a bit hotter but all in all a great experience.

sadly saying goodbye. a self proclaimed foodie. last year a physician co-worker recommended bocado and the great food he experienced. my family and I went there last fall and had a terriffic experience. I was so impressed that I have recommended the location to numerous people. we decided on a Mother's Day dinner there with 8pm rese. we were sadly very disappointed with the meal. pro: awesome waitstaff gazpacho bread con: 1- Iberico jamon, paper thin. server it right (thick, hand cut), flavor was just not there. 2- gambas, really weak presentation, shrimps were pale, not crisp , only oil flavor, like they just laid the shrimp on the oil, it was warm. must be served sizzling hot 3- Tortilla, fluffy omelet, barely any potatoes, very little flavor 4- churros, room temp + stale, like it sat for hours., must be severed fresh and hot 5- talked with the Manager, cold, indifferent, robotic. major reason we will not be eating there in the future. a fair well to Bocado, once beloved I could never in good conscience refer anyone to this restaurant again. lucky there are other options out there. hope this helps others to beware.

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant for the first time this passed Friday night. The atmosphere is very casual and relaxed, but felt like a spot that the locals visit during the weekend to catch up and hang out with friends. They have an extensive, yet unique spanish tapas inspired menu that will have you hemming and hawing over what to order. The previous reviewers commenting on the speediness of the food must not be familiar with tapas or a shotgun kitchen. If you want your dinner being spaced out, then do not order something until you are ready to eat it as they will prepare and send it out pretty quickly. We didn't have a problem with the speediness. As for food, we tried the Carne Paella (for 2 was HUGE; very unique with onion ring top and worth a try), Octopus (very tender and cooked perfectly - could have done without the potatoes on the side), Calamari (fried to perfection but was a little dry and missing more sauce - next time we will ask for more on the side), Fried Rice Balls with Moz (the basil aioli was DELISH), the Fried Avo Salad with Shrimp (very refreshing and citrusy), and Bacon Wrapped Scallops (the bacon was crispy and it was coated in a sweet sauce). Highly recommend all of them. Overall, we were very pleased and will be coming back to try more of their food. We also didn't get a chance to dip into their wine list, but I noticed they have wine flights which is a huge plus for wine lovers. Last but not least, the service was speedy and our waitress (Olivia I think) was friendly and provided great recommendations.

Wonderful tapas bar with a good selection of vegetarian tapas. Over 40 tapas in total (hot & cold). The wine & cava flights (three different wines in smaller tasting size glasses) are a great way to sample several of their Spanish and Portuguese wines. Service was excellent and the waitresses were fantastic.
