Bleu Boheme

I had a great time at Bleu Bohème! The food and the atmosphere were fantastic. I ordered the Poulpe Rôti, and the octopus was cooked perfectly. It was the best part of my meal. The Tartare de Saumon was good too, but I thought it would be fresh salmon instead of smoked. The menu did mention smoked salmon, though. I also tried the Bourbon Vieilli. It's strong, so if you like strong drinks, it's a good choice. The restaurant has a nice and cozy feel, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. I'm looking forward to going back to Bleu Bohème and trying more dishes. Enjoy your meal!

I would give the food a 3.5 but since there are no half stars, I'm giving it a 4 since the French Onion Soup was so freaking good. The atmosphere at this restaurant was perfect and just what we expected. Service at the bar was quick and the drinks were very good. The rest of the service was okay but not what was expected at a restaurant with these price points. My friends and I had a drink at the bar. We were told our table was ready and were getting ready to settle up to move to our table when an employee came up, told us our table was ready and which table it was, told us the menus were already there, and that we should just go over when we were done. We carried our drinks and bread ourselves to our table. This restaurant is not huge and the bar is right near the host stand, so it would not have been difficult to see when we were ready to move. Our server was quick to get to our table but the whole night, the service felt rushed and chaotic. The food was appropriately spaced out but it just seemed like the server or person running the food was in a huge rush every time they were near our table. When I'm paying $20+ for appetizers, I expect food runners to know where to put them on the table. My friend ordered the mussels which are a whole section on the menu. Somehow, our server didn't know the were out. Not sure how they were out of mussels when it's such a huge part of their menu. Not only did she have to change her order, but the server never bothered to take them off our check. We had the escargot which was fine but needed salt. The octopus was excellent though the goat cheese was not flavorful. The beef bourguignon was a little dry but the sauce was excellent. The French onion soup was perfect. The duck confit was also a little dry. The Fruits de Mer was swimming in butter and oil and did not have much flavor but the shrimp were huge. The food is very buttery (expected in a French restaurant) and the bread is very flaky (in a good way) which means our paper tablecloth got very dirty. There was no attempt to clean it before dessert. We ordered the chocolate mousse with seasonal berries and the server told us there were blackberries and raspberries (when I explained I have a blueberry allergy). We said that was perfect. The dish came out with 4 half strawberries. I mentioned this to the server and she seemed annoyed and came back with a dish with 7 blackberries. After we finished our dessert, our server was nowhere to be found. We had to ask another server to get her after waiting for at least 15 minutes. It was close to closing time so I'm sure she was doing closing sidework but as a former server, I know this is a time you should be around. The automatic tip options START at 20% on their credit card machine. I left 20% because it was easiest and we were ready to go, but the service wasn't at 20% level. It wasn't terrible, but the chaotic feeling, the dessert issue, the lack of mussels (maybe or maybe not our servers fault) the check issue, and not being around when we were done put me off.

I visited this place for a special dinner with a few close friends, and we indulged in a variety of delicious French dishes. The restaurant's ambiance was lovely, with candles creating a cozy atmosphere instead of traditional lamps or lights. Our evening began with a delightful charcuterie and cheese board, accompanied by bread and wine. The entrees were all delectable, and the service was exceptional, contributing to an overall enjoyable experience. Among our group, the seafood dishes, particularly the moules frites (mussels and fries), were favorites. It's a fantastic spot for a memorable date night.

*Blue Bohème* on Adams Ave in San Diego is an absolute gem! The moment you step in, the ambiance whisks you away to a romantic Parisian hideaway. The culinary journey is pure magic—every dish is a symphony of flavors crafted with finesse. From the buttery escargot to the exquisite coq au vin, each bite transports you to the heart of France. The attentive staff curates an experience that's both sophisticated and warm, making every visit memorable. A must-visit for anyone seeking exceptional French cuisine in an enchanting setting! We went for our anniversary and they left a card for us and made my wife feel very special.

My husband decided to splurge and took us out for date-night to enjoy dinner at the French restaurant, Bleu Bohème. We both had the Confit de Canard, which was a duck leg confit served over a creamy goat cheese polenta with baby kale and leeks and a delicious olive relish. We enjoyed it with a Singapore Sling to drink and then ended it with some delicious dessert. I had the profiteroles and he had the chocolate mousse. Everything was delicious! The skin of the duck was crispy while the meat was tender and juicy. The mousse was light and airy, yet decadent at the same time. The profiteroles were delicious and the French vanilla ice cream in the middle was so creamy and flavorful. Everything was absolutely perfect! We definitely will be going back some day.

Went here for my birthday dinner and I was very impressed. Atmosphere So romantic. One of the most romantic restaurants I’ve been to in San Diego. The candlelight made my date with my girlfriend even more dazzling. Staff Exceptional. They wrote a card for my birthday and had a little scoop of mousse sent to the table, which was perfectly rich and chocolately. Food My girlfriend got the mussels with fries and I got the beef bourguignon. The mussels were exquisite and I felt like there were more mussels than typically served at restaurants. The fries were thin and crisp. The beef bourguignon was savory but not overly salty. The beef melts in your mouth. We got a half loaf of sourdough, which was very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And so warm. We also got a lobster crepe, which was the best food of the night. I recommend dipping the bread in the sauce. Finally, we got the “wine for a dime” deal. Recommend? Yes, if you’re looking for a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, this is a great choice. I’m sure we’ll go to other French restaurants in San Diego but I’m also sure that Blue Bohéme will be one of the best, if not the best.

Absolutely one of the best French restaurants I have found in SD. The decor, the ambience and the food were all top notch. We had a fromage and charcuterie plate to start. Then beef bourguignon and Brussel sprouts/squash vegetables 😋 and an amazing dessert menu. Wonderful wine menu! We will definitely be back again asap!
