Really wanted to like this place. The decor is very nice. Food started out good with salad de chevre chaud. Then the mussels came out, and they did not taste fresh; we sent them back. The beef stroganoff was just ok. The croquettes of artichoke and chevre were microscopic and nothing special. The grand Marnier souffle however was very good. Spent $150 including 2 glasses of wine and tip. Won't go back.

We made a reservation for a Sunday lunch in advance and were seated inside, away from the cold.I had the lamb shank. It's a generous dish. It can be shared really. Same with most of their desserts. I had the chocolate mousse. It's very sweet and could go well with tea or coffee.I've tried their burger in the past which is pretty good too.

I don't know what it is about this place... the warmth of the staff, the awesome ambience, or the consistently amazing food...but it just makes for a great night, and it's become a new favorite of mine (three times this last month!!). If you're looking for an all-in great experience, this is the place to go!!

Great brunch for my cousin's birthday. Lots of awesome benedicts to choose from. We enjoyed the smoked salmon Benedict a lot.

Everything was delicious. I picked the lamb shank as my main and got a couple desserts (the chocolate mousse and profilteres) to share.

The best place ever with a delicious french onion soup and the kindest people working there. Highly recommend.

Overview: love the ambiance of this place - they’re pretty in your face with the French decor and the live music is the best when they have it. The food isn’t cheap but it’s good - I think I like dinner here more than brunch.The beef bourguignon was cooked well - the beef was so tender, and the mashed potatoes were in a nice rose shape.The duck sandwich (le canard) was flavorful with wonderfully soft bread. A tad too much onion in it.Kind service. Even the free bread was good!

The food is absolutely delicious! My husband and I have been here five times and the food is always incredibly consistent and high quality. The scrambles and omelets are really tasty and can be made dairy free for those with food allergies. The benedicts are super yummy too, not too heavy with a really crispy english muffin on the bottom. The hash browns are super thin and crispy (plus they are gluten free).They have outdoor seating which easily accommodates a full stroller for the little ones. The service is incredible and everyone is very friendly. This is our go to breakfast place for the Bay Area and they also deliver via Door Dash.

Wonderful food and ambiance. Crab cakes were light and tasty. Service was good and unrushed. Thank you for the suggestions.

Always a pleasure to dine at La Boheme. It has the friendly personal service that is such a pleasure in a local bistro. Food is consistently high quality with your French favorites and daily specials.

I came here with my parents and had a wonderful experience. The service was great; very attentive and efficient staff. We all ordered the salmon dish and cleaned our plates. Everything was tasty and fresh. The salmon was cooked to perfection. I will definitely come back here again when I am in town. The outdoor ambiance had a tinge of European flare.

The food was over cooked and dry. When we told the waiter he said “people like it like that”We tried the burger, classic breakfast and a sandwich. I can confidently say they don’t know how to cook.

Food and service was good. I ordered the duck confit Benedict which tasted strange, but the hash brown was crispy and delicious. The lamb shank and the chocolate soufflé was good.
