Place and ambience is great. Being French in a French restaurant I was expecting the duck to be like ‘at home’ but it wasn’t. It was well overcooked and became hard. Bit of a disappointment. My partner had the Boeuf Bourgignon which was delicious. Also apparently there are the old and the new menu going around with different wine prices. I was charged $75 a bottle of wine that was shown at $58 on my menu. Small thing but makes the overall experience a little annoying.

Someone had snuck in and took our table, so we waited at the bar for 20 minutes for another group to leave. Staff took good care of us, but it was very busy and we could tell the staff was frustrated with the circumstances. Food was excellent, from appetizers to main course. Our dessert was great, and the BOGO wine was such a good deal. Will come back often for date night!

Third time here and it didn’t disappoint! Setting is lovely with candles on every table. Service was amazing and the food was exceptional. I tried the new seafood pasta dish and it was to die for. The gingerbread dessert is sooo good. Wonderful date night location.

Our food was terrific, as was the service. The restaurant was exceedingly noisy,, even at our table in the corner at a fairly early hour, which is my only complaint. I wish they'd install ceiling insulation that would muffle the noise somewhat.

I returned to Bleu Boheme for another year of their Joyeux Noël dinner. I so truly enjoy everything about it, choosing to sit at the bar and enjoy the staff and fellow diners as we feast on a variety of C'est incroyable dishes. I love that the bartender GG was able to precisely pair good French wine with each item I chose from the menu, though for each course he let me sample a couple from which to choose. I truly can't say enough about the experience!!!!!!!!!!
