La Bohème - Hoboken

I have lived in Hoboken for more than 25 years and have to say that my dinner at La Boheme was the best meal I’ve had in Hoboken. Excellent menu. Fantastic staff. Missed having Omar or Lisa being there to provide that extra special touch they give at Barbès.The appetizers, main courses and desserts were GREAT!Will definitely go back in the near future

My friend and I went to La Bohème on a Friday evening around 7:30pm. It was the end of the dinner rush, so I would recommend making a reservation during peak dining hours. However, we got lucky and got seated immediately. When I saw the , I expected someplace on the fancier side, but the price points are not that bad. Also, it was extremely dark and loud in the restaurant, which definitely does not go with the upscale vibes. Fortunately, my friend and I were seated toward the door and we both speak loudly, but I would not recommend going at a busy time if you require a more intimate setting. A minor note that their bathrooms were a bit dingy and did not match an upscale vibe at all.We both got the salmon special 29), which is pretty much their salmon entree, but instead of mashed potatoes, the potatoes are encrusting the salmon. I was wowed by the flavors of the dish. My one critique would be that the salmon could've used a touch more moisture, but it was very close to perfection. I didn't enjoy the saffron sauce, but the veggies and the salmon were flavored so well, I didn't need to use the sauce. I liked the lighter feeling of the potato preparation, and each bite was very balanced!Service was outstanding. The host did many check-backs, and we always felt like we were being attended to. There was one point where he mentioned our dishes would be out shortly, and they were not. However, he came back and apologized for the message and gave us an updated eta. It really felt like they valued us being there, and it was an overall pleasant experience.

Great place food and fantastic serviceA bit noisy for my

We attended a sixtieth birthday party, and the food and catering were fantastic–the staff was so attentive to each and everyone, even remembering what drinks they had ordered previously. The decor is lovely, and each dish was delicious.

Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The soup a la course was delicious. The meat of the burger was cooked to my taste. The French fries were crunchy outside and tasty. The salad and the tomatoes on the burger were a little too watery.I'll go back for the diner menu as it sounds fantastic.
