This is third thanksgiving had La Bohème and was not as good as a previous two years. Turkey with a little dry and could have used more gravy and mashed potatoes or not hot. I’m not having dessert. Options was also a disappointment. I love the restaurant, the energy and the service, but the food needs to improve.
