Escargots de la Vieille École
Rebekah W.

We had a great dinner at Bleu Bohème! The crab cakes were amazing--crisp on the outside and full of flavor. The snails were delicious, and the bread for dipping in the juices was perfect. The octopus dish had a nice texture and flavor, though it was a little too smoky for my taste. The steak was very tender and cooked perfectly--served slightly cold, but still really good. They had a great wine deal: $45 for a bottle to enjoy during dinner and one to take home for 10c. The wine paired nicely with the meal--not outstanding, but definitely a great value. Server was super friendly and attentive. We sat outside, which was lovely, but the inside looked cozy and charming too. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely come back.

We went to blue OM and Chef Ken is amazing. He came out to greet us and see how our meals were. The service by Kristi I think her name was. She was so wonderful. We want her next time too. We were a party of six and she was outstanding. The ambience is romantic.

I really wanted to love this place. I think maybe I built it up in my head and it did not live up to my expectations. Sat outside on a beautiful chilly night but they use a ton of warmers to make it a heated patio. The server started off great but seemed to lose steam a quarter of the way through the meal. My drinks were empty and I kept looking for anyone to help but our table kept getting passed by. Someone sat near us who maybe come a lot and we didn't get any attention after that. Their food came first and drinks before we got anything. I ordered a spicy margarita but it didn't come until after I had already eaten my scallops. The food was lovely but I'll probably never come again.

This place feels like it should be in Paris. Great ambiance, cozy spot. Servers were friendly and knowledgable. Food was amazing. Had the braised short rib and the dessert sampler. House bourbon was tasty in an old fashioned. Definitely want to go back and try other dishes. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend for date night.

It's Restaurant Week again, and I'd highly recommend giving this French restaurant a try. At around $65 per person, it offers great value for the experience. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the French ambiance--the lighting, candles, décor, and overall pace are all very charming. It's a great spot for a date or a small gathering with friends. The menu leans toward classic French cuisine, with elegant plating and refined flavors, not overly showy or pretentious. Every dish we ordered stood out, with well-layered sauces that clearly show the chef's attention to detail. For starters, the Rillettes de Saumon is highly recommended--it's so good you'll want to keep eating it. For the main course, the Confit de Canard is a must-try. This traditional dish from the Gascony region in southwestern France involves curing duck legs with salt and spices, then slowly cooking them in duck fat until the meat becomes tender and juicy. It's considered one of the finest dishes in French cuisine, especially recommended for duck lovers. The service was excellent as well--attentive without being intrusive, with a well-paced dining experience. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal. Be sure to make a reservation in advance, and if possible, sit inside, as the ambiance is better than the outdoor seating.

Crème Brulée

Ambiance was great with the mood lighting and French decor. Additionally, the service was wonderful and we got their great wine special which was $45 for a bottle and you take a second home for 10 cents. I would come back here to try a few more dishes and some more wine! The dishes we did try lacked that "wow" factor in my opinion. The onion soup was good but I've had better and it came out warm, not hot, as I was expecting. The crab croquettes on the other hand were phenomenal! The duck dish was overpowered by a very strong herb flavor and the beef was nothing too exciting - very basic. Our desserts did the trick, but again, I've had better crème brûlée and the brioche was quite dense. I'd come back again and give it another shot with some different dishes but overall I wasn't blown away.

I had coordinated with Jasmine, special events manager, for my company's private dinner in their Stone Room. She was very detail-oriented and accommodating. I had pre-ordered the following for our "Bohemien" style dinner: Wine Selection: - 206 Schlumberger "Princes Abbes" Riesling 2018 First Course: - La Charcuterie: house-made duck pâté, pork terrine de campagne, jambon de Bayonne, garlic sausage, Rosette de Lyon, Spanish chorizo, coppa sausage, pickled vegetables, croûtons, olives, Dijon mustard - Sadie Rose French Country Sourdough Loaves with Sweet Butter Second Course: - Croquette de Crabe: crab croquettes, jicama remoulade, tomato-rocket salad, saffron aioli - Crêpe au Homard: lobster crêpe, marscarpone cheese, jicama remoulade, white truffle-carrot sauce - Poulpe Rôti: seared Spanish octopus, Portuguese linguica, creamy polenta, roasted chickpeas, fresh tomatoes, sauce verte Third Course: - Salade Maison: butter leaf lettuce, basil/shallot vinaigrette, tapenade croûton, Roquefort blue cheese, apples, almonds, market beets Fourth Course: - Mediterranean Mussels prepared Marinière style: parsley, tomatoes, white wine, garlic, shallots, thyme, butter; served with Pommes Frites Fifth Course: - Coq au Vin: red-wine braised chicken thighs, smoked bacon, carrots, pearl onions, cremini mushrooms, fresh herbs, baguette - Saumon Oscar: Faroe Island salmon filet crusted with crab, pommes purée, fresh asparagus, sauce Béarnaise Sixth Course: - Mousse au Chocolat: dark Callebaut chocolate mousse, seasonal berries One of our guests was vegan, and the chef prepared a roasted vegetable entree for her that was very satisfying. Our server, Gina, took excellent care of us and was always mindful that our water and wine glasses were promptly refilled. The restaurant was very cozy and our private room was separated from the main dining room by a thick velvet curtain. The room itself was nicely set up with a long table for our party of 12, with aged candles that had the wax build-up to give it a medieval appearance. Our pre-selected courses were pre-printed on a custom menu so the guests would know what courses to expect for this unique dining experience. As it turns out, some members of our party were unable to attend due to the unavailability of Uber and Lyft drivers from downtown to this venue. Apparently, it was a busy weekend with the tree lighting ceremonies at Balboa Park and other locations. We had so much food leftover and Gina graciously packed and labeled all of them, which was very much appreciated. For the Charcuterie, what really stood out to me was the house-made duck pâté. It had a rich smoky flavor that was notably the best pâté I've ever had. I've dined at Michelin star restaurants domestically and in Europe, and Bleu Boheme notably has the best duck pâté in my opinion. I enjoyed all 3 items from the Second Course, although I felt the crab croquettes would have been better served with the saffron aioli on the side, as to opposed to on top of the croquettes. Also, the jicama remoulade was a bit too heavy on the cream for me. For a deep fried appetizer like this, a light and citrusy jicama salad would have balanced the flavors and elevated the dish. I had a similar issue with the lobster crêpe. There was already marscarpone cheese inside the crêpe with the lobster, so the jicama remoulade and white truffle-carrot sauce made this dish too rich for my taste. Like the crab croquettes, I would've enjoyed these crêpes more if they were served with something light and citrusy to balance the heaviness of the marscapone cheese. The Salade Maison was the crowd favorite. With all the other heavy dishes, we were craving for something that would cleanse our palette, and this was it. My only complaint was that I had specifically requested blue cheese and dressing on the side while I was planning the menu and it was noted on the contract. All but one of the salads had the blue cheese, anchovies, and dressing mixed in, which I did not care for. The one salad that was sparred was for our vegan guest. I was particularly disappointed since this was the one dish that I was looking forward to the most. The Coq au Vin and Mediterranean Mussels were my 2 least favorite dishes. For both of these, the wine was not reduced so it left a very over-powering wine taste that was a bit too strong to enjoy. The Pomme Frites were also overly salty. They were thin and crispy but were drenched in salt. The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the pommes purée (mashed potatoes) were delish. I wasn't a huge fan of the asparagus, which I thought were over-cooked and the Béarnaise sauce was too creamy and buttery. The Mousse au Chocolat was devine and tasted heavenly. The fresh berries (strawberries and blueberries) helped cut the richness of the dark chocolate mousse, so this dessert was very well executed and well balanced. Overall, we had a very pleasant evening!

Bread pudding
Christine T.

Came for restaurant week. The menu looked fantastic so I was excited to check it out. Unfortunately everything across the board was underseasoned. Flavor had potential but it just needed some salt. Here is what I got: Gnocchi: Great pillow texture. Had a nice smoky element to it. Scallops with risotto: Wish they seared both sides of the scallops. Lobster flavor in the risotto unfortunately does not come through. Bread pudding: Not as indulgent as I had hoped. Texture seemed off. It was too dense and lacked moisture. Maybe serving with ice cream would have made it better. Service was friendly but will note that it was a little slow.

Amazing food the prepared just right . It came out hot and delicious. Service was holly jolly. Very nice. Ambience is French friendly. And a decor that is French country.

So good

Ended up staying local for Thanksgiving and decided to try out this spot for a Thanksgiving lunch. Let me tell you, it was busy right when they opened. You definitely want a reservation just so you don't have to stress about waiting a long time for a seat. The ambience is super cute. Plenty of seating indoors, at the bar, and seating outside. The outdoor seating gives the vibe of dining in Paris. They're well known for their martinis and they offer up a lot of variety. We got their basil martini, espresso martini, and blue martini. The basil was good and not overly sweet. If you like a simple martini, the blue one is for you. Espresso martini was also good - not overly sweet as well. They're all strong too. Sourdough bread is to die for. I'm drooling thinking about their bread. Crab croquettes were delicious. Pate & Terrine hit the spot cause I was craving pate. It is a lot and was too much for just the two of us. Boeuf Bourguignon was hearty and their Turkey plate was so good. I didn't think the Turkey plate would have been my favorite. Dessert was a great way to close the meal. Nothing bad to say about anything we ate or drank. Service was a little wonky. We sat at the bar and just didn't know who our person was. There were multiple persons behind the bar but no one acknowledged us. It took awhile to put our order in. A table that sat down a few min after us got their food before we even ordered. That's why I gave one less star. But that won't prevent me from coming back, I'll just reserve a table that's not at the bar next time.

incredible as always! this place is phenomenal!! gina was an amazing server and we greatly appreciated having her help us with our order & explain all the cheese and charcuterie! will be back soon!

Calafia Oysters: Bright and unique, paired with a fermented spicy kosher granita and citrusy absinthe vinaigrette. Local Yellowtail: Balanced beautifully with a coriander avocado mousse, morita sea pearls, and a fermented spicy ginger sauce. Palate Cleansers: Refreshing watermelon mint and strawberry rosemary sorbets. Taleggio Agnolotti: Creamy and pillowy, served with local pea beurre blanc and grilled yakitori Baja shrimp. Grass-Fed Lamb Rack: Northern California organic lamb cooked to perfection with goat butter. Baja Trout: Ginger-brined with a rich kombu beurre blanc and maple-glazed bok choy. Dessert: A stunning Opera cake and deconstructed crème brûlée to round out the night. Beyond the plate, the service was seamless, warm, and elevated without feeling pretentious.

Taking her advice, we sat on the patio. The regular dining room wasn't a good option either, given the heat in there too, aggravated by an extremely high noise level. Turned out, sitting on the patio was a mistake. The other two spaces cooled more and sooner than did the patio. My party ordered two different absinthes, a cocktail, and a glass of red wine, all delicious. The absinthe service is always fun. A special little ceremony. Our dishes were a mixed bag. Mussels-- sweet, tender, in a wine sauce worthy of being sopped up by every last morsel of grilled bread served with the tasty mollusks. Pasta in duck ragu-- the gentleman who ordered this dish thought the wide noodles themselves were sumptuous, but was disappointed that the sauce contained no duck meat. Chicken cordon Bleu-- a big hit with the teen who ordered it. Two generously sized pieces of tender chicken, rolled and filled with ham and cheese, all packaged into a very, very crispy coating. He also loved the accompanying pureed potatoes. Baramundi-- pleasant enough for the couple who shared it, but not memorable. They were especially pleased that the chef attended to their need to dine gluten free. Lamb ribs-- delectable. The serving of two tender chops arrived perfectly medium rare, just as I had requested. A light hand with seasoning showcased the flavor of the chops. There was no complimentary sparkling wine or dessert as we had enjoyed in the past when celebrating a birthday, which would have been a nice touch, but our main interest was the quality of the dishes we ordered. Our service was very good at times, AWOL at others. Because of the heat? I'll probably never know. Fortunately, extremely hot weather is rare here in San Diego, but I'd suggest that, since this restaurant is so reliant on walled-in roofless dining spaces, they consider closing for the duration of any future heat waves should they occur. It's difficult to enjoy a fine dining meal when the staff is so uncomfortable that their performance is sub-par, and the dining environment is dramatically uncomfortable. I'm still awarding 4 stars, but just barely.

We moved on to a very delicious salad that was not on the menu but we asked for a house salad that we can all share. It was packed with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, beets and radishes. We moved on to our main course and the ribe eye was seasoned and cooked to perfection, enough to share for about 4 people. We ordered 2 but we could have easily had just 1. The oven roasted Curvina with vegetables as also very tasty. It was not my favorite but when you have rib eye cooked the way it was, we didn't need the fish. We topped off the night with dessert a frambuesa with vanilla ice cream.

What a fantastic dining experience! We visited Et Voilà! French Bistro as a party of four, and…read moreevery one of us absolutely loved it! The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was excellent, attentive, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and charming, with an authentic French bistro feel. Everything from the appetizers to the desserts was delicious. We truly enjoyed every moment of our evening. A wonderful restaurant that deserves every one of its five stars! Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back!

I've been here multiple times before for happy hour & then some. Love it before but LOVE THEM even…read moremore now!! Our gf had her bday celebration here two weeks ago. I was 30mins early with homemade bday cake in hand to surprise the bday girl. Since I was the first one there, Ludo & staff were exceptionally sweet to let me sit & wait even though all parties haven't showed up yet. Exceptional customer service!!! 12 out 10!! Delicious food & pretty big portions. Can't rave enough about this fine establishment!! Btw, there's an extra charge for bringing outside cakes which isn't a problem. In fact!!! They went above & beyond with cutting the cake & decorating each slices with fresh fruit & tasted like a coulis sauce. Gave the restaurant staff the rest of my homemade pandan carrot cake to share. Highly recommend Et Voila to every one!
