As usual, the food was insane. We went especially on Thursday to enjoy the special of the night, filet of sol. It did not disappoint. Beautifully seasoned the flaky flesh melted in your mouth. We can always depend on a Lucious meal at Du Marche. Don’t wait! Enjoy this amazing place!

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!!
