Brought my girl here for her birthday. We live in Lancaster, so it was a big deal for us, but we felt the food was absolutely amazing. I loved the setting. Beautiful view, and I love dark places and relaxing music. The service was top tier. Everything came out very quick. It was perfect, for us, and we plan on going back sooner than later.

Brought our staff here for dinner before Wicked. Came with fairly high expectations because of the reviews, and we were blown away. Our server was outstanding. Warm, friendly, helpful. We tried almost every category on the menu including all of the desserts. Not a single bad bite. We will definitely be coming back. What a great dining experience!

The experience, as usual, was EXCELLENT. I have been going to La Boheme for over 20 years. It is my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles with the best ambiance. This time was even more exceptional than usual. Our server, Cynthia, went above and beyond. And her personable attitude, went very far with us. Thank you La Boheme for another wonderful date night.

Me and my wife went and we had a blast we had a great waiter named Justin who checked on us and made sure we had a phenomenal experience. My wife had the Fish and Chips while I had the Prime Rib which was sublime. We enjoyed a complimentary desert with congratulations on it due to me and my wife being pregnant with triplets, this was a great experience I highly recommend.
