La Boheme

Had a wonderful brunch celebrating a special occasion. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. Food was 👌.

The food tasted like they served us someone else's food from another day. It was old and terrible. We waited forever as they only had one waiter for the whole outside. And they didn't serve us all at once. It pretty much tanked our Mother's Day. I don’t usually write bad reviews as I know how that can hurt a business but the food they served was horrible. What French restaurant serves a sandwich on several days old bread, raunchy dry fries, ravioli that looks like a soup drenched in wine. It was so bad.

The french onion soup was great, lots of cheese! Maybe I would have liked less cheese and more soup, but.... Service and staff were very friendly. Also saw/talked with people who had some nice "mimosas", one with grapefruit and one with lichees. They said they love the drinks there, something to come back for and try! The drinks look great, but didn't taste them though ;)

I ate lunch at La Boheme, a French Restaurant on California Ave today for the first time. I enjoyed the place. The outdoor setting is pleasant; they have a white canvas covering 3 sides to protect form the elements, plus white wood tables, brown wood chairs, and space heaters. And the atmosphere on California Avenue is something that I always enjoy. I ordered a lunch special of sole almondine. The sole was a little bit less tender that I expected. But the sauce possessed an amazingly superb flavor that enhanced the taste of the sole but also the potatoes, i.e., I dipped the roasted potatoes into the sauce and what an exquisite taste! The vegetables were mostly broccoli and that did not match my preferences. The décor inside is also pleasant. The space is small and that provides an intimate feeling. The waiter was cordial and I enjoyed his service. There is sufficient free parking one block away with both a street-level lot and a parking garage. I think that the Palo Alto City policy of providing free parking for diners and shoppers is a wise strategy.
