“ Unfortunately, Bohemian Bistro has been closed for a number of months. So sad, it was a terrific restaurant with delicious food and excellent staff, ”
“ Super cool and intimate lil restaurant perfect for a friend's get together, date, or family gathering. Amazing service, savory and unique dishes with lovely presentation. Met a friend for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were there for about 4 hours (had a lot of catching up to do) and we never felt rushed nor ignored. We tried the avocado toast and the poached egg dishes. Both were delightful! Will return again to try other dishes. Oh and it's BYOB! Can't get better than that! FYI- street parking ”
“ What a great experience! Friendly service, cozy, atmosphere. The food was so unique and delicious ! For apps, we had the chimi sliders, mojo pork tostones, and creamy chicken volcanoes. All of them absolutely delicious! I had the lemon chicken for a main and the lemon sauce definitely made it amazing! My brothers & husband got the grilled chicken and lamb hanging skewers which looked great! I would definitely come back. We came to celebrate an early Mother's Day but they also ended up giving my brothers a BB decadent chocolate cake to share since it was both of their birthdays as well. I really thought it was a plant at first! It was delicious as well. ”
“ My lovely wife found BB and I have to give them the 5 star rating everyone else seems to give it. Everything was just terrific, food and service. We came with my sister & brother in law (again) and had, to start the passionfruit cervice, the humus and an order of Quipes (think kibbe). The ladies opted for the Pan Seared Black Cod, my BIL ordered the 'Not Your Mommas Pork Chop', while I ordered the oxtail risotto. All the dishes were wonderful. To show you how great the service was, no one had mentioned that it was my BIL's birthday, although we had talked about it amongst ourselves. Apparently 'Juan' (the owner??) must have overheard us and brought out a terrific decadent chocolate dessert for the table... which was also excellent. (See the picture of the little flowerpot with "dirt" in it. That's the chocolate with vanilla ice cream under it.) Just a really excellent experience that will bring us back for sure. Oh! and it's a BYOB!! ”
“ I found this restaurant on Yelp and my husband and I came with our 9 month old daughter for dinner and we are SO glad we did! I had the smoked pork chop and it was delicious. Extremely tender and very flavorful. The yuca fries were a bit harder on the inside than I prefer but still very good with a nice crispy outside. My husband had two appetizers - the oxtail fried dumplings and chicken and cheese empanadas. The oxtail was very soft and flavorful and the empanadas were good as well. We arrived at around 5:30pm on a Friday night and there was plenty of seating. However, at around 7-7:30pm it started getting a bit more packed so I'd recommend going earlier if you can. Staff was great - super attentive. Nice decor and ambiance and the bathroom was clean. It is BYOB so plan to bring your own if you want a drink. Will def return to try other things on the menu! ”
“ Don't walk, RUN here!!! Omg what a delightful place. The food, decor, staff are phenomenal! We had the creamy chicken volcanoes which were bursting with flavor, so soft and just simply delicious. Then we had the Chipotle chicken panini & Mediterranean panini. The chipotle chicken panini was so good, the chicken was so soft and the combo of ingredients in the sandwich were just perfect, I got the chipotle aioli on the side. The house made salt & vinegar chips were so crunchy, thinly sliced and plentiful. My friend loved her Mediterranean sandwich which she got with a side salad. The dessert was unreal, I'm not a big fan of chocolate desserts but this was delicious! I still couldn't pinpoint what exactly was in it but there are layers to it, that are a match made in heaven. I will be back very soon. Portion sizes are also great, highly recommend!!! ”
“ Amazing Service!!! Amazing ambience! Amazing food! I'm so glad Yelp helped us find this hidden gem. We had the crab puffs, grilled skewers of shrimp, lamb and chicken with side of rice and asparagus. Everything was perfect and enough for 2 people. Definitely recommend! ”
