Boca Landing Thinks Big

This chic, airy year-old charmer with a dazzling view of Lake Boca has introduced new signatures after nixing its small-plates concept for bigger aspirations.

“By enhancing the menu offerings in size and flavor, we are able to present more composed entrées that allow for more robust side dishes and beverage pairing suggestions while speaking to the experience and vibe of Boca Landing,” says Matt Mixon, who became the executive chef earlier this year after stints at PGA National Resort & Spa and Boca Raton Resort & Club.

All of the entrées are new except one. His signatures include mustard-crusted yellowtail with gigante bean ragout, sautéed spinach and mustard beurre blanc ($30), jerk mahi-mahi atop plantain-yuca mofongo ($30), mango mustard-glazed salmon with pineapple-papaya salsa and cilantro-lime rice ($26) and double-cut pork chop with mushroom risotto and Brussels sprouts ($29).

The terrace is an inviting spot to try the new watermelon cosmo with house-infused vodka ($12) and Pinita Colada ($10).

Up next: a more casual look in the fall.
