La Boca Steakhouse

Please forgive my photos as i wasn't planning on writing a review, but I was so satisfied that I decided to do so. The first night was perfect.

Love everything from the empanada appetizer to our premium steaks, from our wine, brussel sprouts sides to our decadent coconut ice cream cake dessert. Our server Josiah was awesome.
