   Everything about dinner at Labo M was great except for one thing. Mgmt. really needs to get a spring on the door that leads into the main dining room. Every time somebody went in and out most people left the door open, which caused a giant rush of cold air into the main room. This could be easily solved for under 100 bucks with a good sturdy door-closing spring attached to the door. Even the wait staff agreed. If Mgmt. sees this, please get a door spring at the top of the main door into the dining room. It’s well worth it. Otherwise fantastic.

   This is my second time dining at La Boheme. The atmosphere is out of this world. The service fantastic. This time the food was beneath expectations. Hair in the fries and the ceased salad had a very fishy flavor. More than a typical housemade ceaser should.

   This place had great food and great service. The show on Saturday nights is fantastic and the band is amazing. The cost of the show is added on to your bill at $20 per person. I think it’s great to help pay for the performers and the band. But beware of a couple of things. If you order still water you don’t get tap you get a $9 bottle of Evian and they add a 3% tax for the kitchen staff. I don’t mind paying for the food the booze, the show and a 22% tip for great service but I don’t agree that the customer should have to pay extra money for their cooks and the food runners. That being said they will remove the charge at your request. Still recommend this place highly for a great night out. Just read your bill.

   Overall, the experience was okay. When I reserved our table, it was because I was looking for live music—a nice date night with my wife. Upon arrival, the wait staff seemed disorganized despite the outdoor area not being very busy. I gave my name and time for the reservation; the greeter was nice, engaging, and friendly but didn't ask any questions. During our meal, I wondered when the live music would start. It never did. When I asked our waiter, he mentioned that the music was for inside guests only and required an additional $20 fee per person. This was confusing as I had no idea there was an inside/outside option. My salmon was overcooked and covered with sauce to mask the burnt side, though it was still somewhat tasty. My wife's halibut was good, and the drinks were pretty decent. Our waiter was nice and did a great job overall. However, our table leaned toward us, which was odd and uncomfortable. When paying, I noticed a "kitchen love" fee of 3% of the bill for the kitchen staff. This was a first and didn't make much sense. I agreed to it despite my burnt salmon but had to tip the waiter less. As we were leaving, I expressed my disappointment about not sitting inside to listen to the live music. The staff explained that someone should have called to confirm our seating preference, and they indeed did call, but I missed it. I wish the wait staff had asked us about our preference before seating us, as we would have preferred to sit inside. Charging an additional fee to sit inside when the outdoor area with just a tarp and heat lamps, compared to a more traditional restaurant setting inside, doesn't seem like a great business model to attract repeat customers. The manager, Carmen, was fantastic and tried hard to correct the situation by offering a table inside and a discount for our next visit. Unfortunately its hard to undo a bad first impression. not going back.

   The food, service was amazing. We were a group of 5 and everyone loved what they got. My only suggestion would be to replace the metal chairs for the table with ones that sit straight up vs. a lounge type chair where they lean back away from the table. It makes it difficult to comfortably eat.

   I’ve been going to this beautiful place for over 30 years. Although indoors was always warm and cozy. The new outdoor area is incredible. I recommend this restaurant to everyone visiting West Hollywood.

   La Boheme wins on style and ambiance. We went on Christmas Eve. Great service and a lovely holiday atmosphere. The artwork in the outside patio adds something special to this place that sets it apart. I wonder what the inside looks like. 😁

   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.

    Beautiful ambiance-- so festive and special! The food was good -- not spectacular but passed for the occasion which included Xmas eve and a birthday. I would definitely return on another evening to see if the service would improve on a non holiday.
