For anyone wanting a French restaurant experience with an outstanding menu and delicious food, Bleu Bohème is unsurpassed. They accommodated my request for a quiet table for four and we had a most enjoyable meal. Their specialty is mussels, prepared in a variety of ways. I had Moules Frites a la Moutard, which was mouthwatering. Their prices have gone up quite a bit (as have many restaurants) for both food and wine. It is a great place for a special occasion.

Amazing experience as always. I’ve been a patron for years and the food and staff are always superb. This visit was for an anniversary dinner, and we felt the personal attention of the staff, bar tenders, and the culinary team. Many thanks to all of you. Hope to see you all again soon.

Quick and attentive service. Noticed the menu had changed since our last visit. Everything was more expensive. The escargots didn’t have their puff pastry. The lobster crepe was delicious but lukewarm. The entrecôte de porc had a sauce that was a bit too sweet and the chop was cooked medium well instead of medium. It was also close to room temperature. The ravioli were great as was the coffee and the desserts (Nutella crepe and pistachio ice cream).

Bleu Boheme is always a treat! Delicious food, outstanding cocktails and wine list, and the service is impeccable. We sat on the patio and it was quiet and lovely to people watch. We celebrated a birthday in our group, and not only was there a complimentary dessert, but also a birthday card signed by the staff -- such a lovely gesture!
