"I would give the food a 3.5 but since there are no half stars, I'm giving it a 4 since the French Onion Soup was so freaking good. The atmosphere at this restaurant was perfect and just what we expected. Service at the bar was quick and the drinks were very good. The rest of the service was okay but not what was expected at a restaurant with these price points. My friends and I had a drink at the bar. We were told our table was ready and were getting ready to settle up to move to our table when an employee came up, told us our table was ready and which table it was, told us the menus were already there, and that we should just go over when we were done. We carried our drinks and bread ourselves to our table. This restaurant is not huge and the bar is right near the host stand, so it would not have been difficult to see when we were ready to move. Our server was quick to get to our table but the whole night, the service felt rushed and chaotic. The food was appropriately spaced out but it just seemed like the server or person running the food was in a huge rush every time they were near our table. When I'm paying $20+ for appetizers, I expect food runners to know where to put them on the table. My friend ordered the mussels which are a whole section on the menu. Somehow, our server didn't know the were out. Not sure how they were out of mussels when it's such a huge part of their menu. Not only did she have to change her order, but the server never bothered to take them off our check. We had the escargot which was fine but needed salt. The octopus was excellent though the goat cheese was not flavorful. The beef bourguignon was a little dry but the sauce was excellent. The French onion soup was perfect. The duck confit was also a little dry. The Fruits de Mer was swimming in butter and oil and did not have much flavor but the shrimp were huge. The food is very buttery (expected in a French restaurant) and the bread is very flaky (in a good way) which means our paper tablecloth got very dirty. There was no attempt to clean it before dessert. We ordered the chocolate mousse with seasonal berries and the server told us there were blackberries and raspberries (when I explained I have a blueberry allergy). We said that was perfect. The dish came out with 4 half strawberries. I mentioned this to the server and she seemed annoyed and came back with a dish with 7 blackberries. After we finished our dessert, our server was nowhere to be found. We had to ask another server to get her after waiting for at least 15 minutes. It was close to closing time so I'm sure she was doing closing sidework but as a former server, I know this is a time you should be around. The automatic tip options START at 20% on their credit card machine. I left 20% because it was easiest and we were ready to go, but the service wasn't at 20% level. It wasn't terrible, but the chaotic feeling, the dessert issue, the lack of mussels (maybe or maybe not our servers fault) the check issue, and not being around when we were done put me off."

Service was slow in beginning, with a reservation at an early hour

We ordered the French onion soup, sourdough bread, crab croquettes, lamb entrée, and coq au vin entrée, and everything was outstanding.

Loved this place! Came here in an out of town trip, and I will certainly come again. The food was out of this world, and can't wait to try many more dishes.

I surprised my sister with a delightful French birthday dinner at Bleu Boheme. The classic escargots were amazing, and when paired with the rest of our meal, it was truly out of this world. View menu

The food was delicious, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I really enjoyed the duck confit, but I found the portion to be a bit small, as it included just the leg and not the breast.

I had a wonderful experience at Bleu Bohème! The food and atmosphere were outstanding. I ordered the Roasted Octopus, and it was cooked to perfection—definitely the highlight of my meal. The Salmon Tartare was also nice, although I expected fresh salmon instead of smoked. The menu did indicate that it was smoked, though. I also sampled the Aged Bourbon; it packs a punch, so if you enjoy strong drinks, it's a great option. The restaurant has a lovely, cozy vibe, making it an ideal spot for a meal. I can't wait to return to Bleu Bohème and try more dishes. Enjoy your meal!

A group of six kicked off our evening with cocktails, and they were fantastic! We enjoyed martinis, an old fashioned, and a delightful sparkling drink. For appetizers, we shared three orders of escargot, which was a bit unconventional as it didn't come in the traditional garlic and butter style; it was alright. For the main course, one of us ordered salmon, which was delicious, while another had scallops, and those were excellent as well. We also had three orders of steak frites, and everyone adored them! There was a special on the menu—halibut—that three of us were eager to try, but by 7:00, they had only one left. Overall, everyone was pleased with their meals! The service was outstanding,...

"I adore this restaurant. Golden Hill is filled with many many quality eateries, and Counterpoint anchors the neighborhood with it's fun atmosphere and dedication to quality. They recently renovated and the new space is open, airy and provides a variety of seating options: bar seating, restaurant seating, and upper balcony (I use this as a quiet place to WFH during the week), and an outdoor patio. I'm partial to the biscuit and gravy for breakfast, but the brined chicken and waffles or breakfast hash always makes me smile and sends me unto the world with a better outlook on life and a doggie bag. When it's hot, delicious crunchy salads are on the lunch menu and the craft beers and unique slushy flavors change. Counterpoint takes the quality of food and libations seriously. The craft cocktails rotate as the bartenders are encouraged to explore and grow. The owner and team are always warm, welcoming and make sure you have a good experience. Did I mention they are DOG friendly? Definitely worth the trip up the hill from downtown if you're looking to wind down after an event or precharge and eat before a baseball game. I love to bring my friends for a snack (try the olive selection) and chat on a twilight night. Space heaters outside if you get cold. Fans inside if you get warm. Honestly if you live in or are visiting the 92102 area code you should go to Counterpoint: good food, really good cocktails, and great company. It is clear that this establishment cares about quality, cares about your comfort and loves if you have a good time."
