When the Bohemian Gastropub opened, I was really excited to try it. However, that excitement didn't last very long. When we first arrived at the restaurant, we were just standing there dumbly for a while...nobody came to approach or acknowledge us. When my friend finally went to talk to the bartender, asking if we should seat ourselves, he gave us a look as if to say "duh" and impatiently said yes. Okay...
So, we started with the Four Spiced Confit Chicken Wings - with house made bbq sauce ($12). The wings, while really tiny in size, were actually decent. The bbq sauce was nice but I wish they had coated the wings in them rather than simply placing a small pool of sauce at the bottom of the plate. It came with a small side of fries, which were actually quite tasty.
Everything just went downhill after this. We tried the Braised Lamb Shank - roasted winter vegetables and braised white beans, natural jus ($14). We were actually debating between the ribs and the lamb and asked the server for his opinion and said "definitely the lamb." I'm afraid what the ribs would have tasted like...
As much as I like lamb, this lamb shank was incredibly bland and wasn't as tender as I would have liked. It really needed some sort of sauce or some seasoning. The menu indicated that the dish came with a natural jus. It certainly tasted like it was cooked au naturel, as though they took it straight from the butcher and cooked it without doing anything to it.
The last thing we tried was the House Made Currywurst Sausage - Grandma Boehmer's mango chutney, pain au lait ($10). The sausage was okay, but we found the bun to taste a little stale (kinda hard and crumbly) and we didn't find the mango chutney to go very well with the sausage.
What a disappointing experience. I so badly wanted to like it too!
