La Boheme - Warrington

We went on Sunday night the restaurant was absolutely packed The service was very crisp and the food well presented with a good choice Very fairly priced I was last there a few years ago and found little change A good family evening out …. If you can get in the car park !

We have eaten here on a few occasions: the last time we ordered the chateaubriand medium rare, it came out medium. When we spoke to the waitress she said they had a French chef and they always over cook the steaks. You have to ask if the chef is French or English when you come in as this will depend on how your meat is cooked which seems really strange as there is nothing on the menu that says you have to ask this. We let it go and did not complain. We came again today for lunch. We ordered the prawn risotto which I ordered the last time and it was amazing. Today is was dry but again we let it go rather than complain and spoil the meal. My partner ordered the kidneys (pleural) however there was one kidney, again we let it go. We also ordered the duck profiterole. This came with a poached egg, however the egg was boiled not poached and over done so we sent it back. When this starter was replaced it was cold and the egg was raw in parts so un edible . When we told the waiter he apologised and we said the chef needs to learn how to cook an egg a very basic thing to cook. The chef who we now know is the owner came out of the kitchen and very unprofessionally said to us, “I need to go back to chef school to learn how to cook an egg”and laughed at us. Never have we seen such unprofessional behaviour from a chef and an owner of a restaurant. His behaviour was childish and unprofessional. We told the waitress we were not holy with him and she apologised but it was not her that should have apologised. He then served us dry pork which again had to be sent back. On both occasions I asked for the chef to come out and speak to us and we would explain what was wrong with his food, however we were told this would not happen. This was disappointing considering the chef had come out and made his sarcastic comment to us and retreated to his kitchen without us being able to speak to him. We eat out many days a week in many restaurants and have never been so disappointed with a meal and the chef. We watched others in the restaurant who also had over cooked eggs but for their own reasons did not bring it up. We will never go back to this restaurant which is a shame. It was very busy and I do not think the chef could deal with how busy it was. There was a full restaurant and a function on. Regardless if a chef cannot cope with a full restaurant then do not fill your restaurant and if you have to serve poor quality food and insult your customers when they complain, then shame on you and yes go back to school and learn how to cook an egg and a steak. Serve your food perfectly no matter how busy you are and treat your customers with respect we are paying for your service. This was our 5th visit and our last after today. If you were proud of the food you served today then shame on you. And the fact you wouldn’t come out and discuss with us is a shame, all you could do is be childish say your comment and rush off to your kitchen pathetic. Avoid this restaurant if you want great food continuously. Well done to the staff who have to work for this rude owner!

I came across this restaurant while looking for potential venues for a date night. Thank you Google! Online booking system was easy to use, we received a confirmation email the next day. Lovely peaceful location (although easy to miss the car park which is behind the building if you're unfamiliar with the area). Staff were instantly friendly and attentive. They do an early bird menu on a Friday but we arrived at 6pm because we wanted to try the main menu. There is a bar area but we didn't explore it as our table was ready. We had 2 courses for £38, plus desserts and drinks. There's also an extensive veggie menu with vegan options which is cheaper than the main menu. There were lovely little touches the amuse bouche, the selection of fresh breads with butter, the chocolates with after dinner coffee and we enjoyed every mouthful of our meals. Between us we had the smoked salmon and egg and the trilogy of crab for starters, followed by the rabbit and the monkfish tail. For dessert we chose the almond tart it came with figs instead of apricots and the gateau stephanois. All the food was gorgeous and the tastes rekindled memories of happy French holidays in the Perigord and Haute Savoie regions of the country! The atmosphere was chilled and relaxed, with a mix of families, couples and even a solo diner who we noticed was treated very well by staff. By the time we'd finished our meal we knew we wanted to come back again, so we've booked another visit next month. We enjoyed every part of our meal, and are excited to return to this excellent find. Thank you Google for suggesting this gem of a place!

The flavours in every mouthful were a symphonic display of French culinary brilliance. Commencing with an amuse-bouche, a selection of delicious fresh baking accompanied the meal, and the second palate teaser, thoughtfully nestled between the starter and main course, seamlessly bridged the courses. Each dish evoked squeals of delight and intrigue as we endeavoured to identify and describe the intricate flavours dancing on our palates. The waiting staff were both attentive and abundant. La Boheme truly deserves a Michelin star. Given its popularity, I'd advise booking weeks, if not a couple of months, in advance.

Superb food, really friendly (and funny! attentive staff and a great ambience. They also do gluten free food and can customise dishes to need dietary needs. Highly recommended !!! (You’ll need to book as it’s very popular !
