service was very good and it had great ambiance. the food was rather disappointing. Birthday dessert offered was beautiful and tasty. Wouldn't come back again as the food was not up to par.

We sat outside which was nice. When out food arrived, it looked as though it was sitting for awhile before being served. More attentive service could have prevented it and made the experience more enjoyable.

Staff were very friendly! The food was really delicious and well worth the price in terms of quality and quantity we received!

Some of the oysters are too iodées, the duck is extremely chewy and not cooked enough. The wine sauce of the duck is bitter, absolutely not reduced enough. The portion is very small compared to the price. The rabbit is dry and too firm. The mustard sauce is too salty however not strong enough, very little taste. Very disappointing food for the price.

Love their dessert menu, so many great options to choose from. They were very patient even though it was closing time

Ordered the special drink Nutella Latte Cafe. Innovative flavor. Also ordered the duck Benedict. I was expecting some like tender duck breast but the duck I get is more like some dried duck meat.

I came here for lunch but I was a little disappointed. The portions is definitely on the lighter side and it's not memorable.
Would look for that wow factor elsewhere.

My boyfriend and I ordered from DoorDash and everything was really bad, for the amount of money they are charging I was expecting something better, my boyfriend had the duck and it was flavorless, the mashed potatoes tasted like instant mash potatoes that you put in the microwave, they had a picture of chicken pasta and it showed Penne pasta but they sent us noodles which it wasn’t what was online, we also ordered coffee and they were bad, don’t waste your money here.

While the the waiter and host were very nice and friendly, the service was not attentive. My duck breast was chewy and drowning in brown gravy. Nothing special or flavorful about the sides on the plate. The broccoli and cauliflower were dry. My friend got the osso buco and that was also just ok. We had the escargot, goat cheese/artichoke appetizer, and salmon tartare. I could see avocado being used in modern French cooking, but did not appreciate it in the salmon tartare. 2 stars for the friendly staff and our two desserts- the flourless chocolate cake and profiteroles. $240 including tip, no alcohol. Don't mind spending $$$, but won't be back.

Overcooked dry rabbit dish worse than Safeway chicken for $37. Wow

Service is great, an overall very friendly vibe. The food was good both from portion size and taste. It's on a nice walking street where they let you sit outside.
It was easy to park for free on a side street not far away on a weekday.

Wandering around with my friend, we came across La Bohème. Welcomed by Malek, such a lovely person who even took the time to give us great tips on things to visit in the area. Thanks again, great time and great food, don't hesitate to go!
