Editorial Review for Café La Boheme – by Whitney Friedlander
In Short
An ivy-covered white stone exterior gives way to a gigantic, colorful supper club-style dining room. The second floor's plush white circular booths lit by their own disco balls fill quickly with private parties and large groups, while gleaming chandeliers hang above the intimate diners on the ground floor. An eclectic menu runs the gamut from Asian-influenced light meals like spicy steak salads and miso-lazed salmon to heartier dishes like filet mignon in whiskey peppercorn sauce and lobster saffron risotto.

After reading several reviews praising the excellent, attentive service and delicious food, I was eager to have a good meal and a good night out with my girlfriend. But that definitely was not the case, where do I even begin – the food was okay nothing out of the ordinary and service was not at all "impeccable". The drinks were decent, but you need the alcohol to deal with the lack of service from the staff and management. My advice is there are too many great restaurants in WeHo to even give this restaurant a try.
Cons: FOOD & SERVICE

Our awful experience started when we were seated outside on a nicely decorated patio but to an UNSET table. Not a problem until our appetizer was dropped in front of us by a very RUDE bus boy before our drinks came or silverware even after we asked the bus boy for them. After looking around for our waiter as our appetizer sat getting cold, my boyfriend had to get up from the table to find a mgr to request some silverware. Then our BLAND TASTING main course came; overcooked sea bass and salmon. Being that it was my birthday dinner, we really tried not to concentrate on the medicore food & dreadful service. So we continued to eat our meal, & ordered another drink to calm our frustration. Mind you this whole time the waiter didn't speak to us, never asked how our drinks or food was nor did he ask how we managed to get silverware. After dinner we request to speak to the mgr & had to wait 15mins until we were approached by two pretentious mgrs. I forgot to mention our server didn’t go completely mute after all, he did open his mouth to ask if we were finished so he can take our bill as we were waiting to speak to the mgr. We described to the mgrs how HORRIBLE the evening was – their generic reply was “we are sorry guys; you should have came to one of us during the meal to tell us what was going on.” Huh, I guess coming up to one of them to get silverware & our table set was not a clue in itself. To add to our INSULTING night, their solution to our problem was to offer us two “SHOTs” at the bar. How RIDICULUS was that question & could it be more OFFENSIVE! As we were walking out I can see our waiter patting one of the managers on the back–I guess it is common for the mgrs to reward the staff for their UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR instead of listening or showing respect to the paying customers. I posted this lengthy review to explain in detail how horrible this establishment treated us in hope of deterring others from wasting their time and money as we did.
Cons: SERVICE, FOOD, MANAGEMENT...EVERYTHING!
