Unfortunately , Baci’s doesn’t serve veal piccata anymore. It was our absolute favorite. There is still the “old world” atmosphere and excellent service. The marinated, sautéed mushrooms & also the calamari are delicious. I ended up ordering from the appetizer menu.

Had a great dinner with friends last night at Blue Boheme! I made the reservation through this app on the same day and the only option at the time was outdoor sitting. The server (sorry I forgot her name) made the dining experience wonderful! She was very attentive and gave great food and wine recommendations. After we finished our La Planche appetizer, we asked if there’s an available table indoor (as it was getting chilly outdoors). The server went in and checked. A couple of minutes later she came out and told us the good news! So we moved inside and had our main course. Everyone loved their picks (I got the pork chop - so good! The rest got the duck, scallops, and a chicken dish). The indoor ambience was lovely, and the entire staff was amazing. It was my second time dining at Bleu Boheme and definitely will not be the last.
