    Wonderful atmosphere, superb service, less than stellar food. Perhaps it was a bad night since we've had much better there. Will return.

    Unfortunately, our food was underwhelming. We ordered the octopus special, capri salad, croque monsieur, pasta with seafood, the rabbit, and the meringue desert. None of the dishes was very good. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the service was friendly, but the food doesn’t justify a return visit.

    Server was attentive and the place was nice. Looked forward to the rabbit plate along with beignets since they’re not common. Sadly both were on the dry side. Was surprised to get breast meat since most places serve leg which is more tender. Flavor of sauce was good but seemed only needed to conceal the dry meat. Beignet was also not as good as some others that I’ve had. I really wanted to like the place so may try again and order something else.

    Love this restaurant. Better food than we had during our recent 4weeks in France. And what an amazing menu —all of our French favs.

    La Boheme is the perfect brunch spot. Extensive menu, perfectly prepared Benedict’s and omelettes, friendly staff and nice bistro ambiance. My favorite restaurant in the area.

    Everything was almost to perfection. Our service was a bit slow, but the wait staff is so nice I can overlook it. Will definitely be going back soon.
