Bonjour Boheme!

Boheme is open for lunch Monday through Saturday, 11:30 to 2:30, dinner Tuesday through Saturday 5:30 until 10:30, brunch Sunday 11 to 4.

Starting after Valentine’s Day, you can stop in for small plates between 2:30 and 5:30 in the afternoon and from 10:30 at night until 1am.

And this, I absolutely love: they’re thinking about doing a Sunday Tea Dance with a DJ in the evenings, and afternoon tea service in the courtyard come spring.

Merci beaucoup to the (tres mignon) petit oiseau for this.

    Oh, tea service without having to drive out to Keswick, yippee! Thanks, Lilith - this justifies my recent dress splurge (or so I’m telling myself). Now if only I could manifest the life of leisure that would allow me to partake in the afternoon small plates offering…

    Suddenly, company calendars everywhere will be filled with locked/private appointments at 3:00. “It’s off site, but I assure you it’s an important meeting…”

    Mmmm their brunch is awesome! I was just there this Sunday and had the Shrimp wit Brie Grits! I’m glad they are trying to spice it up a little with dancing, etc because sometimes I feel out of place amongst the old/churchgoing crowd. The food and service (specially Nick and the owner, Tom) are so good though, that I look past it and sit at the bar for a more casual and laid back experience.

    tea service, dj dancing, small plates, open practically every day and night? I liked Boheme for what it is/was, but after valentine’s day, what is it trying to be?

    Boheme is wonderfully bohemian. I love Nick and Tom and the bubbly brunch server with the infectious giggle. I absolutely adore it. I do. Brunch, 434, yes. Why do restaurants have to “be” something? I think I said that of Siips. A restaurant is what it is.

  7. 13 Feb 2008 at 4:36 pmLys said:

    434, baby! - It’s amusing that you felt surrounded by church goers at brunch, because when I last went for dinner, I think my table was the only one not populated by very successful-looking older gay men (not that they coudn’t also be church goers). Is this observation just a one night coincidence, or is Boheme the gay Fleurie? [insert requisite “not that there’s anything wrong with that” joke here]

    The brunch menu looks awesome (eggs florentine is a rare find in c’ville these days). Where on the Mall is this fine establishment?

    Lys: offsite meeting for afternoon tea? We’ll talk strategy. And synergy. And solutions. Oh, the solutions. All the solutions.

    ThatGrrl - I’m all over it!

    12&13 Well I know I don’t fit into the corporate culture, but really don’t I even rate an invite?

    @7 Lys, I’ve only been there for brunch so I wouldn’t be able to speak for the rest of the time. I really think it’s the church crowd all dressed up and whatnot.
    btw. The steak and eggs, eggs Maryland and the beignets are AWESOME!

    “the gay Fleurie”… thats going to have me giggling all day!

  17. 14 Feb 2008 at 3:09 pmLys said:

    Your invite was a given, my dear Silmo. But we have to plan this sooner vs. later as I’m blowing this joint for good at the end of the month.

    Alright, I just learned about the Private button, thank you Lys, now I have to use it and hence go to lunch at Boheme, get the logic?…(narh I was sold when I saw the photos of the food), (narh not really, it was the wine list) Ohh yeah I am having wine at lunch today….what?

  24. 15 Feb 2008 at 3:48 pmTwoOFour said:

    It was awesome, crabcakes beat Hamiltons hands down, steak was tender as butter, service was top notch…wine list was exciting.

  25. 15 Feb 2008 at 4:58 pmStanley said:

    10:35am to 3:48pm? Dang, Two, that’s one long lunch. Good on ya!

  26. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:05 pmTwoOFour said:

    Stanley, well we had to do business as well as eat and consume a bottle of wine, the wine slowed the immediate tasks at hand down a bit, neat observation.

    TwoOFour… check out the new “Libations” list… would love to shake up a few for a tasting next time you are in.

    This weekend I made the grave mistake of having an affair. I cheated on Blue Moon. I attempted Boheme for my weekend breakfast treat. I am now filled with regret, guilt, a smaller wallet, and a growling stomach. I have heard some rave reviews on this place and was certain it would live up to it’s Cvillain/locals recommendation.

    The breakfast was lacking. I had very little desire to eat anymore than the hashbrowns, which were decent. The gravy on my “biscuits and gravy” had the consistency of water and the biscuits, while I realize they are supposed to be on the dry side, were just a crumbly mess. The poached eggs on top were more like the well done egg you would fund on a McDonald’s Egg McMuffin.

    My dining mate had Eggs Maryland (crab cake in place of ham in Eggs Benedict). The crab cakes were full of crab meat, making the price reasonable, but again the eggs ruined what could have been a great dish. This guy not only usually finishes his meal, but clean up my plate as well. Needless to say, there was food left on both our plates.

    I will give Boheme some credit. The service was OUTSTANDING. The place was also clean and smoke free (maybe you want to check it out cocoNut?). The air was a little too pretentious for my taste on a weekend morning, but not so much I couldn’t ignore it.

    I will not be going back to Boheme for breakfast anytime soon, but since the service was so wonderful I considering giving dinner a try. I only hope next weekend my love will take my cheating ass back.

    cut & paste is fun!

    I am confident Boheme has the best brunch in town… hands down…
    there was a problem with a girl overcooking eggs but she has been replaced by somebody competent.

    Watered down biscuits and gravy?
    The recipe is just sausage, milk, and flour.
    Maybe the hollandaise and poached eggs on top make it seem watery?

    did you really not like brunch or are you just upset about our drink list?… because the only thing you complained about while at brunch was the fact there was a drink on the list named “lilith” and that we didnt have one named “thor”. thats the ONLY thing you bitched about… and you were asked more than a few times if you were enjoying things… next time if you don’t like something about your food I would suggest you speak up so we can fix it then and not wait to slam a restaurant as soon as you leave on the internet.
