La Boheme did not disappoint. Sat on a velvet sofa in front of a fire pit drinking delicious Sancerre and eating super yummy burger and salad. Service was very good and food also. Excellent ambiance and unique vibe made for a perfect evening.

Neighborhood gem for more than sushi lovers. For non sushi eaters, try the “pasta” dishes made with udon noodles. Melt in your mouth with fabulous flavor. Add the rib eye for the table and you have a steak house feast. But don’t forget the soft shell crab salad and the special sushi rolls for the rest of us.
