A great dinner spot in W. Seattle. For some reason, I was expecting a pub atmosphere at The Bohemian. Instead, I found a charming bistro bursting with charm. The restaurant is cloaked in beautiful dark wood and was playing jazz at just the right volume.

The menu is small, but full of interesting dishes. It's a good sign when everything looks so good you can't decide what to order. We started with the yam frites which were served in a cute little brass bucket. For $1, we ordered all three dipping sauces (smoked ketchup, lavender honey and garlic aioli). We universally agreed the aioli was the winning dip.

For entrees we had a crab cake topped with two prawns and a side salad (this was on the specials menu) and a pasta dish called "kind of blue." The crab cake was spectacular, full of crab and no bread crumb filler. The prawns were perfectly cooked and we licked the salad plate clean. The "kind of blue" pasta was killer, made with Rogue smoked blue cheese with flecks of crunchy bacon throughout. The only disappointment with this dish was the endive salad it was served with. The honey dressing tasted like it was made with vanilla, which didn't appeal to either of us. But that's an easy thing to fix. I'll just order it with a standard viniagrette next time.

I can't wait to try the other dishes on the menu!
