We enjoyed a delicious Christmas Eve dinner! The Beef Wellington was excellent. Banana Cream pie was fantastic! My only suggestion would be to have non-alcoholic drink options. Dry Secco is perfect or some of the great beers . It would just be nice and make it special.

I returned to Bleu Boheme for another year of their Joyeux Noël dinner. I so truly enjoy everything about it, choosing to sit at the bar and enjoy the staff and fellow diners as we feast on a variety of C'est incroyable dishes. I love that the bartender GG was able to precisely pair good French wine with each item I chose from the menu, though for each course he let me sample a couple from which to choose. I truly can't say enough about the experience!!!!!!!!!!
