    We had an 8:15pm reservation. Had to do a few laps around the block before we landed a spot in back. We still checked in 30 minutes early, but they were very accommodating to seat us right away. They gave us a choice of inside or patio, showed us all the choices, and we picked the patio. The lighting was dim, with a fountain in the middle and heat lamps to make every table a very comfortable temperature. The service was outstanding! The food was delicious! And the price was pleasantly surprising! We will definitely be back soon!!

    Had a great dinner with friends last night at Blue Boheme! I made the reservation through this app on the same day and the only option at the time was outdoor sitting. The server (sorry I forgot her name) made the dining experience wonderful! She was very attentive and gave great food and wine recommendations. After we finished our La Planche appetizer, we asked if there’s an available table indoor (as it was getting chilly outdoors). The server went in and checked. A couple of minutes later she came out and told us the good news! So we moved inside and had our main course. Everyone loved their picks (I got the pork chop - so good! The rest got the duck, scallops, and a chicken dish). The indoor ambience was lovely, and the entire staff was amazing. It was my second time dining at Bleu Boheme and definitely will not be the last.

    My husband and I went to Casa Gabriela with our toddler shortly after 6:00 on a Friday night, so it was fairly busy. We had a reservation and arrived 15 minutes early, thinking we would not find parking as quickly as we did, and they were able to sit us within five minutes. The staff were quick to take our orders and the food was out quickly, considering the quality. Speaking of the quality, everything was excellent. My husband raved about his quesadilla, and he is a hard man to impress. My picky eater of a child scarfed down most of a bean and cheese burrito, which was a sight to behold. I had the seafood enchiladas and they were delicious, although I was way too full of the equally good ceviche we had first to finish them. I have a wheat allergy and love that I can safely eat here. We will definitely be back!
