La Boheme

This was our second visit, and it only confirmed how special this place is. The first time, we came for the holiday menu; this time, we finally had the chance to explore the regular menu, and we were not disappointed. After a bit of fatigue from classic German flavors, we were truly excited to enjoy food rich with Georgian spices and soul. The eggplant caviar and the Georgian salad were absolutely delicious fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The chicken shish kebab was very good, though for my personal taste it could have been a little more spicy. And the khinkali… simply outstanding. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Beyond the food, the atmosphere deserves special mention. The restaurant is spotless, with beautiful white tablecloths that create a refined, high-class dining experience. At the same time, it feels warm and welcoming, not stiff. The location is also very convenient, which makes it easy to come back again—and we definitely will. Highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates food made with heart and soul.

We came for Jazz Friday, but it wasn’t available that night. Still, we had a wonderful time enjoying steak and ceviche in the outdoor area—both dishes exceeded our expectations. The cocktails were excellent, and the server was incredibly kind. It’s a great spot to dress up, take photos, and enjoy a date night. We were very happy overall. The only minor downside is that on busy days, seating time is limited, though it wasn’t an issue for us.

Met friends here a couple of weeks back for brunch, our favorite part was the vibe and service. Great atmosphere for a casual gathering; however, we found it to be slightly overpriced for the quality of food. A few items we do recommend are the pear salad and octopus. The French toast my friend ordered was mushy and undercooked; crostini appetizers were okay, but didn't wow us. Dessert for us was the strawberry shortcake, which was delicious and presented well, and the creme brûlée, which lacked any flavor.

We had a reservation for dinner and were looking forward to a nice evening, but the experience was disappointing. I ordered the chicken, which unfortunately came out undercooked and was not safe to eat. I couldn’t even finish my meal. To be fair, our waiter was super nice and very attentive, and I really appreciated his service. However, the rest of the experience fell short. They were hosting a large private party, which meant guests dining in the main restaurant were not allowed to use the indoor restrooms. Instead, we were directed to use a trailer bathroom outside. If you’re accepting reservations and know that regular customers will not have access to the actual restrooms due to a private event, you should absolutely inform people ahead of time. Had I brought my child, there would have been no proper place to change a diaper, which is completely unacceptable. Between the undercooked food, lack of transparency, and the inconvenience of using a trailer bathroom during what was supposed to be a nice dinner out, the experience was very disappointing. I truly hope they take this feedback seriously and make changes for future guests.

Charming place for a budget dinner or a date. Outdoor sittings are comfortable and cozy. The design inside the venue is wow! Food is 6 out of 10. Nothing special, but good. Sad that their special menu is available on Sunday (?) only. But during the work week they have good options too. From their HH menu as well. Drinks are not bad, and the price is okay. Actually, everything is pretty the same as at Santa Monica 1212. And this is not bad, because SM1212 is one of my places to go. The place is also good for parties 4+. But I recommend booking a table ahead. Ask about the fire pit 😈🔥 The hostesses are okay. But it would be nice to ask visitors (when you have plenty of not-reserved tables) where your guests would like to sit. 😬 The waiters were nice and cool. Probably, I will come back here but with my girls. 💃🏻
