I hadn't been to Bleu Boheme in several years and was delighted to see that it hadn't changed. Our reservation was for 5:30 on a Saturday and I had expected to be one of the first diners but I was pleasantly surprised to see the dining room almost full at that time. Our dinner (steak frites for my husband and moules frites for me) was delicious, as was my basil martini which I highly recommend. We were celebrating my birthday and for that they brought out a small scoop of chocolate mousse for us to share. The only negative was that our server didn't ask if we wanted any other dessert, which my husband would have liked. After sharing the mousse we wouldn't have wanted anything more but I felt we should have been asked. All in all we had a lovely time and a good dinner.

Not what it used to be. Portions got way smaller. Yes, I know. We've been going there since 2010 since they first opened. Check out the cremebule (dish), not deep anymore. Also, bœf bourguignon quantity is a lot less. How does a restaurant that prominently markets clams and they run out by 8:30pm on a Saturday? Also no croque garçon either? We had great memories there, great ambiance.

Our 2nd time here and there won't be a third, unfortunately. First was great and last night, the escargots weren't good (felt frozen) as well as the scallops... duck was "good" though. Octopus app was good, but overall, very disappointing.

Fantastic ambiance for a Valentine's Day weekend. Very lively but able to hear my date real well. Food came out in a prompt manner and was seasoned well. I appreciated that the staff accommodated to seating us earlier than our reservation. It's the little things that make the experience memorable!

The prices at all restaurants have increased significantly, but Bleu Boheme’s have become unaffordable for me. The portions of the main dishes are equal to small entrees. I would have left hungry, if not for consuming the delicious bread.My wife and I have been dining at Bleu Boheme for years, but not anymore.

It was Valentine's Day and our reservation was at 8:45. They sat us right on time and from there everything was perfect. Our server was amazing, food was delicious, the restaurant was beautiful, and even though they had 250 reservations that night, they treated all of us as if we were special. We will definitely be going back.
