I gave them a couple tries. The first time was actually really good I thought. Too desert oriented but good. The second time though was a total wash. Take that and the grossness of getting everything on styrofoam both times means I wouldn't go back until they changed. I can't in good conscious go to a place that exclusively uses such environmentally horrid materials.
" the style of food is going to be out of the norm."
Why becasue it's fresh and delicious?
Thank god they are changing. THAT PLACE SUCKS right now.
The food is OK, but:
1. Usually you are waited on by some stoned kid who doesn't seem to care you are there. 2. The food comes on paper plates 3. The drinks come in styrofoam cups
Also, the place is always a ghost town, never seen more then 2 table in there, and NO MUSIC!! You just feel out of place the whole time you are there
If they did nothing but get REAL china and GLASS glasses, hire a professional staff, add some ambient music and maybe advertise as being a restaurant more the place would be much better. Maybe a new menu will help.
This article is pretty badly written. Who (or what) is the "Bohemian Hostess?" Is this a title that this women is giving herself, or the new name of this place, or both?
This corner is very important to Allentown's commercial district. Granted this storefront has had it's problems especially with staffing, but let's give this incarnation a chance to prove itself on it's own merits. We really need a good business at this anchor location.
I agree with 11111inBlo, That place does SUCK! It has such Potential! Great location, courtyard, artwork and an ATM! Wow. The ice cream was $3.25 for a small, small scoop!!! Service was shaddy and was always a long wait, for what? Nothing. I gave it the three strikes then OUT. Let's hope they make something of this "gem".
Anything that seems to make it on or around Allen needs to be ultra-eccletic (Jim's notwithstanding, patrons of Allen St would eat take out dog food at 4 AM). Bistro comfort food is a little on the insipid side & why even include "fresh" as a description of the food?
I'd define Bohemian as the crowd that hangs around Bidwell Parkway playing guitars & hacky-sack at night.
bohemian traditionally referred to people from bohemia, an old name for czechoslovakia. in a more contemporary sense it usually referrs to someone living an free spirited ,unconventional lifestyle.
colin i agree that the article is confusing. i assume that the bohemian hostess was the name of shayna's catering business. i could easily be wrong in this assumption.
PEOPLE! The Steel Crazy Cafe by Bohemian Hostess is opening TODAY, Tuesday, May 20! All of you who have commented before today about the food really don't know what you're talking about -- that was the old management. Shayna Raichilson-Zadok is the NEW management. I have been at functions catered by Bohemian Hostess Catering and the food was fantastic -- different and very good. Try it out before you comment.
