Some of the house specialties are "escargots", "soupe à l'oignon", "boeuf bourguignon", "coq au vin", "frogs' legs", ...Et Voila !

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!!!!!!!!!!

Not very busy tonight. The food was good as usual. The server Alexis acted like she didn't want to be there. I get it it's the holidays but atleast make an attempted to be nice. Didn't check on the table once. Had to ask other servers for water, additional roll ups. I'd eat here again, with the hopes of not getting her as our server again.

Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday but we waited about 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was about 25% full. Once seated, the service was good and four of the five dishes we ordered were very good and reasonably priced. Interesting food combinations but not the place to go to if you want a salad.
