We go to Bleu Boheme almost every week. When one goes to a restaurant that frequently, you expect there to be a change in the quality at least a little. But NOT with Bleu Boheme; it is perfect everytime!! No exaggeration. The food is superlative. I have the salmon and my husband has the short ribs. It is consistently amazing. The service is beyond compare; everyone makes you feel like part of the family!!

Truly a wonderful and memorable dining experience. The attention to details and food prep, complex yet compatible flavors are incredible. The plating and service was impeccable, our server was knowledgeable and very attentive. The bartenders are 100% amazing. Everything about our meal just shined. Kingfisher helped us celebrate a very happy anniversary!

Wormwood absolutely blew us away. We came in for a celebration dinner and had such an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was phenomenal. The chef’s crispy-skin sea bass was easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time — perfectly cooked with that incredible crispy skin. I also highly recommend taking advantage of Happy Hour because it’s truly an elite time to go, but definitely follow it up with a dinner entrée. You won’t regret it. The cocktails were just as impressive — decadent, creative, and beautifully done. I especially loved the Hugo Spritz. And a huge shoutout to Marjorie behind the bar, who was so incredibly kind and generous. She treated us to a digestif cocktail at the end of our meal, which was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect way to end an already amazing celebration dinner. Savannah and Ryan were also fantastic. They had such great menu recommendations and really took the time to make the meal feel special. Their knowledge and enthusiasm genuinely brought the whole experience to life. Between the food, cocktails, service, and atmosphere, Wormwood is absolutely somewhere I’d return to. An exceptional dining experience all around.

    We have a lovely evening at Mister A's. The view on the balcony was stunning. The service was high class - we loved our server Tiffany - she took such great care of us. The food was delicious - and we were more that stuffed. Everything was divine - it was a special treat!
