Try It Tuesday: The Bohemian

In a new Try It Tuesday feature, I want to put the spotlight on The Bohemian in Bonita Springs, a fantastic restaurant I tried last weekend.

I'm all about trying new restaurants. Maybe not new to the area, but new to me. When it comes to food, I find myself pretty adventurous and am always looking for places that offer something different and I found that at The Bohemian in not only their food, but their drinks as well.

The Bohemian is located right on the corner of Old 41 & Bonita Beach Road in the newly renovated Entrada. Everything from the look of the restaurant to the food to the service was impeccable. I absolutely love the vibe with the lighting and eclectic decor.

I went with my friend Christina and we started the night with a few cocktails. She ordered the Green Goddess, a drink with sake, egg white, yuzu, cilantro and basil. It was SO fresh tasting and absolutely delicious. And what's cool is that the herbs used in their food and drinks are grown either in their rooftop garden or sourced locally. I had the Tiki Vibez made with limoncello, orange wine, pistachio orgeat and fresh lime juice... very tropical!

The food was incredible. I will say that the prices are a bit high, but each dish is unique and delicious. The flavors of everything were just delicious and the presentation was gorgeous. It's tapas style, so we ordered one at a time (we were in no rush) until we were full. I will say at some restaurants with sharable dishes, the portions can be small, but not here. We got the Sweet Pig Buns, Crispy Chicken Chicharonnes and Roasted Bone Marrow & Brisket.

That is a definite yes. I recommend The Bohemian for a date night, a girls night or with a group of friends. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes (and drinks!).

26 Mexican Restaurants In Southwest Florida To Celebrate Cinco De Mayo

So, why do we celebrate Cinco de Mayo anyway?  According to National Calendar Day, Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration held on May 5, commemorating the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

Here in the United States, we have Americanized it and given ourselves another reason to go out and party, have some drinks and delicious food, all on a week night (at least this year it's a Friday).   It's like St. Patrick's Day in May.

In fact, Cinco De Mayo is more celebrated in the United States than it is in Mexico. That's why we put together this list of 26 Mexican Restaurants In Southwest Florida For Cinco De Mayo.

Florida isn't too far from Mexico, but there are tons of places to hit up for a margarita (or three) and some tacos on May 5th.  Several of the local restaurants listed below are hosting a Cinco De Mayo celebration of their own next week.   Be sure to stay tuned for details on those.  And, if there's a restaurant we've missed, let us know.

Check out the list below and make plans with your amigos for next Friday, May 5th!
