We were seated right away. The atmosphere is so very French! Very quaint - tall lighted candles on each table. Waitress was very nice. Food was excellent! French onion soup is best ever with slices of beef short rib - wow! Gnocchi was mixed with veggies in a delightful Gruyère sauce. Escargot was tasty and the Salad Chèvre Chaud outstanding! The bartender makes a very nice old fashioned too!

First time dining here after hearing a lot about the restaurant. The ambience and service are top notch and it's a perfect place for a romantic dinner. However, the food was sub-par. My wife ordered the halibut which was grainy and dry. I ordered the steak frites which was served semi-cold... I had to return it for it to be warmed. The steak was tough and not tender like other filet mignon. Go for the drinks and not the food.

Bleu Boheme is wonderful. We had reservations for my birthday and we were met with a lovely birthday card signed by the staff. The ambience is very romantic, the food is absolutely delicious, and our server, Jaime, was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. We can’t wait to go back!

Food not as good as usual (one of our favorite spots - at least it used to be). The Duck Confit was a bit strong,,dry, and tough. Gnocchi interesting - very soft dumplings, but sauce a bit incongruous. Salade Maison was outstanding! Special yellowfin was good, not great. Wine selection and quality truly excellent. Service also excellent. Extremely noisy. Chairs not too comfortable. Another negative was the lady at the adjacent table, who had the worst, pungent, overpowering perfume, which definitely interfered with our meal enjoyment. True, this was not the fault of Bleu Boheme, but maybe seating that party outside or putting a suggestion on the menu not to overdo the fragrances… We’ll probably return, but hopefully it will be a better experience.
