La Bohème

La Bohème Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: Shades of red, gorgeous chandeliers and a roaring fireplace contribute to the romantic setting at this longtime Santa Monica Boulevard restaurant. Enjoy outdoor dining amid the greenery in the walled garden.

Food & Drinks: The dinner menu starts off with oysters, crostini platters, tuna tartare and several salads. Continue with Wagyu meatball spaghetti with truffle alfredo or pan-roasted salmon with sunchoke purée, grilled broccolini, lotus root and chimichurri. Desserts keep it simple with flourless chocolate cake and strawberry shortcake trifle. There are several specialty cocktails available, along with a California-focused wine list. There is also weekend brunch and daily happy hour on offer.
