    The salmon cabernet was really nice, particularly with the Pinot Gris they offered from Alsace !

    This is just a lovely place for lunch! I had forgotten about it as it is a little out of my way, but wanted to meet a friend who came some miles from the other direction so we met half way at this cozy place. The food was great, and so was the Kir Royal (very generously poured). The service was impeccable by a beautiful French lady. Great experience

    Nice French Bistro. The food was not as flavorful as we were expecting. The duck and chicken were a bit bland and the sides of veggies and potatoes were not spiced at all.

    Great find! We enjoyed our first visit to La Boheme and will definitely return. I had the escargot and salmon. I loved the salmon with all the vegetables that came with it! My husband had a salad and the rack of lamb which he enjoyed very much as well. We had the fondant for dessert and it was excellent! Unlike other French restaurants, the portions were generous! Great service as well!! They love what they do!

    Excellent food, average service and a table of people so loud we couldn't even talk to the two friends at our table. Nice ambiance.

    La Boheme is a regular spot for dinner, we always enjoy the food and friendly staff. The New Year's Eve dinner was outstanding. The restaurant was nicely decorated, the food excellent and the staff created a fun NYE environment. Thank you La Boheme for a great night.

    We had the Beef Bourguignon and Lamb Shank and both were excellently prepared, slow cooked, caramelized onions, classic recipes, couldn't be better. Portions were quite generous but so good we gorged ourselves. Next time, better self control.
