La Boheme

Description:

• This restaurant is located in the upscale mall known as Galerias Santo Domingo. Its decor, however, is very much Old World, with stone granite walls and arched galleries. Everything is beautifully lit by wall candles and back lights, lending a romantic vibe. There is a large circular alcove in the corner and more conventional seating up front. Some dishes are works of art that border on kitsch, such as the chicken and potato purée in the shape of a chick. (This nevertheless tastes delicious.) The wine list is particularly good, with labels from all over the world, including France and Italy.
