      I was invited there 2 Fridays ago for a group gathering. We ordered 3 plates garlic prawns for entre. I was told before I went there that the prawns were hugh and 4 pcs. in a plate.

      But when the entre came there only 3 tiny prawns in the plate and prawns stinks!!

      We waited about 40 mins for the mains which was crsipy skin pork knuckle and Bavarian mix platter. Guess what ! the skin of the pork knuckle was not crispy but hard and chewy!! The meat was dry , very dry . . .The pork belly on themix platter was even harder and dry . . Very disappointing!!!

      The only dish that was really nice that nite was the Vanilla ice cream with warm raspberry. And the waitress who served us was superb. She really make our nite . . .   (Bonaventure - October, 2010)

      we went with friends for a night out. the food was good, the dessert was fabulous. the wine was a little expensive but they had a nice selection of local and some imports. the service was attentive but a little slow but in their defense they were very busy.

      we would go again to try the schnitzel night......   (Mikee & Beccee - June, 2010)

    • Overall 8.8 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 8, Service 9

      Dined at La Boheme for the first time during Mother's Day, during which time they served a set menu. The food was wholesome, delicious and well-presented. The staff were attentive, without being pushy. The building itself is very atmospheric and feels very much like a European beer hall. Only minor niggle is that they didn't accept the Entertainment Card on Mother's Day - but it was still reasonable value. Well recommended for dining with friends.   (roshodgekiss - See my reviews (12) - May, 2010)

    • Overall 8.5 - Food 9, Ambience 8, Value 8, Service 9

      The atmosphere, service, food and cost were all great. The pork knuckle was a fantastic choice - a good sized portion and cooked to perfection.   (Luke - See my reviews (2) - September, 2009)

      We had a great time and the service added to the whole great evening we spent in the restaurant.

      Thank you,
