I went to the Bleu Boehme for the first time this evening and had a wonderful time. I sat at the bar where there was a lovely bartender named Matt working and working it (the older set of ladies just LOVED him). When I got there (6:30pm) I was a little bummed because there were reservations until 8:30 for the main dining area, but the hostess was really apologetic and sweet and suggested the bar, which with the high back stools was very comfortable. The service was excellent; not having tried very many French wines Matt offered tastes and was very helpful in that department. I too had the mussels, but loved them (ala creme, very delish) and found that they will soon be offering many different styles starting this weekend in an appetizer size as well as the full dinner size which comes with fries. I got Matt to show me the lunch menu which has a lot of the same offerings with a couple of other interesting options so I will definitely be checking it out in the future.
Pros: great food, great wine, great service, great alternative to kensington grill
Cons: people already know about it, make reservations
