    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.

    Disappointing. Food was quite bland; soup too thin. Difficult to get waiter’s attention. Not terrible—but there are definitely much better places to eat around here.

    I felt like I was back in France! I lived with a family in France for a year and the mother was a fabulous cook. From the food and wine on the menu to the food we ate, to the ambiance of the restaurant—I was reminded of France like no other. We ordered Sancerre wine which has a special place in our heart. The French bread was homemade and in smaller baguettes that you buy here—just like in France. The warm salad with cheese toasts was delicious. I ordered chicken a la moutard which was just like Mom made and my husband ordered Dijon mussels—the only mussels I have had that were as good or better were in Normandy. And the chocolate soufflé was the best I have had outside of France. Perfect French restaurant! Wish you were in San Diego!
