We had a lovely birthday dinner for my daughter. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dinners. They surprised my daughter with a platter of delectable desserts and our entire party of five got to enjoy them. I had the salmon Oscar for my entree. It was insanely delicious - cooked to perfection with crispy skin and slightly rare inside. The crab topping was to die for. Our server, Leo, was so attentive and friendly. The lighting in the restaurant is very warm and romantic - also very flattering for photos!

Best french cuisine. Choose Lamb or the Pork. It will melt in your mouth. Great service, too. They charge for bread and butter, now, understandably, but they should disclose it.

We have been going to Blue Boheme almost every week for two years. I never once have been disappointed in my meal! I've never been to a restaurant that is so consistently marvelous. I love the Tuna special with the mixed veggies and, the Brussel sprouts done just how I like them. Who knew french food could be so healthy? My fiancee' loved the new touch of short rib added to the french onion. How can perfect get better? Well it did. The service is beyond compare. Everyone there is so welcoming. Best restaurant ever!

From the moment we arrived we received outstanding service. Our server Jennifer was helpful in suggestions for food and drinks. The salmon Oscar was delicious and the house salad with roquefort cheese and beets was so good. My husband had the short ribs and he loved those as well. We LOVE this place.

We love Bleu Boheme. This was our 4th thanksgiving. We sent back our main course because it was lukewarm and they made us a whole new entry immediately which was great. But we did not have the usual attentive service- waited longer than usual, water glass was empty, and had to ask for things that were missing. We’ll be back and hope to get a different server because we love the food, ambiance, and usually the service.

We have been here 4-5 times now. This is our 1st review. Thanksgiving 2024. We showed up on time for a Patio reservation and requested a 2 seats at the Bar. Host was happy to oblige. We were seated and served promptly. Always wanted to try bar seating here as it looks so warm and welcoming. It was. Our PreFix meal was more than filling. We did the Pate and Pumpkin bisque/soup apps. And we both got the Turkey dinner. Everything was fantastic ambiance was nice. We are both foodies but wanted a nice TG dinner and we got what we wanted and for a decent price served by a staff missing there own family day to make ours enjoyable. The place has many other great meals to try and those and the vibe are worth the trip.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner on the patio with our French bulldog. The turkey breast was incredibly moist. We also had duck confit, which was perfectly prepared. So grateful to be able to eat out on Thanksgiving, with our doggo. Our server, Priscilla, was an absolute delightful human being. This place is a must return to visit!
