BOHO 115

We found this place while trying to figure out where to go in Decatur that wasn't an hour plus wait on a Friday evening. We began by sitting at a table inside, but it was so loud, between the music and the patrons, that when a table for four opened up outside) they only have two) we grabbed one and moved. Our server was able to move with us, which I appreciate. I ordered the crab-cake sandwich, and fries. My "sandwich" came at least five minutes before anyone else was served, and the fries arrived about three minutes after the crab-cake. The next guest's dinner came about two minutes before the last two. I say "sandwich" because it was a crab-cake on a small bed of salad, not a sandwich at all. That's fine, just not what I was thinking. The worst part was the total lack of coordination between the meals of the four guests at the table. I waited for my friends' meals to arrive, until my crab-cake was getting cold. We all agreed the food was good, the menu was a bit limited, and the staff were excellent. All said, I am not sure I will be back. There are too many other places to go, where it all comes together.

On a busy Friday night, we stumbled upon this restaurant and surprisingly they still had tables available. We were seated right away by the friendly hostess where she dropped off our menus to peruse. It took awhile for our assigned server to drop by our table to give our water and take our drink order. It was also quite warm inside the restaurant; I'm always cold and I was running hot just sitting there. Our server eventually came and my husband ordered a Paloma. I guess our server is also the bartender, which was probably why she was MIA for awhile. When we finally ordered, we got the octopus ceviche, fish sandwich and the caldo. The ceviche was delicious - never had octopus in a ceviche before. It was tender and citrusy served with a tostada for crunch. I ordered the caldo which was filled with different types of seafood - mussels, shrimp, some really tough pieces of fish. The dish needed some sort of spicy element. It's supposed to be poblano but I didn't really taste that. Service here is okay. Food is too salty for me. Vibes are good though, if you just want to have a quick bite at the bar and not a full on dinner. I saw a couple try dining at the bar but their server never came so they walked out.

Let me preface this review by saying that I pick my battles when it comes to lousy service. Sometimes I go into fight mode. Other times, I'll allow myself to be robbed of my hard earned money for the preservation of an otherwise enjoyable experience with family and friends. The latter is true of my time at BOHO115 last night.To start, the restaurant is super cute. The hostess was friendly, and seated us upstairs near the window. This made for what felt like an indoor/outdoor experience on an evening when the weather was perfect. My girlfriend and I were super excited about that - really enjoyed the atmosphere.As we struggled to decide on what we wanted to order, she figured she'd put in for their smoked passionfruit old fashioned in the meantime. Our friendly server brought it out immediately, and we were both impressed by how delicious it was. That passionfruit was beautiful! She asked him to bring out another for me.Mine came in a larger glass than hers, but after a couple of small sips, I could taste that it was much heavier on the whiskey. I would've appreciated more of the passionfruit that I had experienced in her glass, and that's what inspired our request for another. After asking our server if I could trade it out for something else, he came back and told me that management said I could not. I would still be charged the $20 for the drink, in addition to whatever else I would've wanted to order instead.Never in my life have I been to a restaurant where they refused to trade out a drink that I was dissatisfied with. I could totally understand if I were trying to return an empty glass; to me that's rude. But if after a sip or two I realize that it doesn't suit my palate, find out what does! And even if you want me to work with the same drink, put forth the effort to discover what I don't like about it, make those adjustments as best as possible, and once they're made, see if it's more to my liking.That was the first strike, and at that point, we should've taken our leave. It really speaks to how management feels about the satisfaction of their patrons. The second strike was in the food. It left MUCH to be desired. My girlfriend did their calamari and crab chowder, and I went with our server's recommendation; the shrimp and crab fritters. I also decided on a side order of creamed corn. Overall, everything was flavorless and lukewarm.....I didn't bother to send anything back because the issue with my drink informed me that those in charge cared more about money, and less about customer satisfaction. I tried to consume as much as I could so as not to be wasteful, but I couldn't make it. I thought about taking the rest home in order to doctor it up myself, but I was so turned off by everything, I just needed out of there.Needless to say, I will never be back, and I hate that because I really wanted to like it. But I encourage anyone whose in the area to stick to the Iberian Pig next door, or Leon's Full Service around the corner. From my experience, these veterans care to get it right. I don't want anyone else getting cheated out of their money. Has anyone been to White Bull? Thinking to try them next.**Reply to Owner**(Wish Yelp would allow us to reply to responses directly.)She took the drink from me because you all wouldn't! After I was told that the drink couldn't be replaced for anything else, she just went ahead and took it - not because she wanted mine, but because she was trying to keep money from going down the drain, lol!!Why would I want to give additional patronage to a place that does business like that???But thank you for the prompt response, and the recommendation.

This restaurant had been on my places to try list for a bit so was happy to finally have the opportunity to come with family to celebrate a special occasion but it did not end up living up to the anticipation sadly. Boho 115 is located in downtown Decatur in the Decatur Square. If you're unable to find a street parking, there is a lot about a block over near Ponko chicken. Upon entry the restaurant is beautifully decorated with coastal decor. The music playing definitely created a nice vibe throughout the restaurant.Once we were seated our waiter Zac was very kind and attentive the best he could be as it appear to be a lot of logistical changes happening that evening. For cocktails our table ordered the mojito, house margarita and a Guinness. I was a bit nervous about the house margarita since it was on draft but it was pretty good and made with simple ingredients. We ordered the calamari for the appetizer and it was not what we expected as it tasted like frozen calamari fried in a grainy fish fry batter. For our entrees we ordered a variety of tacos: fried shrimp, lobster, fish, tuna carnitas and octopus & chorizo. The tacos were not good. My husband personally isn't a fan of avocados so we were surprised that all of their tacos include an avocado spread on each since it wasn't notated on the menu, the fried tacos (fish and shrimp) were also fried with the batter similar to the calamari which didn't add to the texture. The lobster taco was extremely oily and the shrimp taco was a bit too spicy for someone who personally can't tolerate more than mild. We expressed the feedback to the manager who although did not seem happy to receive it, comped most of our tab which we appreciated. Not sure if I would return but if so would wait a while for the restaurant to work through some of their kinks or maybe just hop in for a drink as the vibe and staff were very nice.

Well, I have been writing this review since December and it is not time to finish. Since November we have been here 5 times...guess we really like it. The food is outstanding. Service has always been great. Prices are really great with one exception and Yes, I am going to mention it because it is a Pet Peeve with me. When you order Guacamole, Salsa served with chips there are not enough chips to eat with the Guac and Salsa. When you ask for a few more you get a FEW more and it costs $2 bucks...drives me nuts. It was better when they offered Q\ueso because you got the extra chips and there was not problem eating all of the rest. OK, I have ranted. Now for the rest of the review.Absolutely love the place. Every dish we have had or tried has been exceptional. I can't name and talk about each one that we have had but I will attach pictures so one can see the beauty. Our standout is the Fried Shrimp Tacos. The Poblano Creamed Corn was in 2023 but it seem something has changed. The salsa is addictive. Has a taste that I just want to keep on eating. One friend even asked if they could pour it over their Tuna salad!!!Highly recommend. Happy Hour prices are out of this world reasonable. Then there are the half price oyster days. And every type of seafood we have had at Boho is extremely fresh....no fishiness at BOHO.

I think that everything is good but it is a little different than I was expecting flavor-wise. We got chips and salsa to start and the salsa tasted more roasted than just fresh and bright and the chips had pepper on them. They were good but just a slightly different profile than what I thought. I also got the fried shrimp tacos with rice which were good and the shrimp were nice and crispy. I liked the sauce that they came with. Again, the shrimp were battered with maybe cornmeal which was just a little weird to me but they were good just not what I thought it would be. The rice was also pretty flavorless. The service was good and the food came out pretty quick. It is also a very pretty restaurant with lots of seating.

My sangria was way too sugary. The food was decent but nothing to write home about. We came here because the other places in the area were packed - I see why the other places drew more of a crowd. It's a good option if you're in a similar boat but I wouldn't go out of your way to go here specifically.

Uh hi - they have oyster happy hour on Mon and Thurs. A dozen for $15 - best deal in Decatur and Atlanta. The oysters are served with three sauces, hot sauce, and crackers, so there's a lot of ways to flavour them before slurping them down. I also got a pisco sour, and it was made perfectly. Well, a little too much foam, but that doesn't bother me. Great vibe, love the bar and the bar collection, staff is friendly and attentive (but not overwhelming). Will definitely come back.

I decided to take a leap and finally find this place on a Monday. It's kind of tucked away in "the square" of Downtown Decatur. Surprisingly, the food was just ok. I had a dozen oysters steamed, shrimp cocktail and grilled shrimp tacos. I knew the assignment lol. The bartender was new, attentive & a very sweet girl. The manager on the other hand, tended to his phone until a guest walked in. At that point he'd simply say "sit wherever you want" & head back over to his seat & phone. It felt like the guests were bothering him. I don't plan on returning because this time I wasn't blown away by the food. I was blown away by the manager.Advice to the Manager: Be sure to make all your guests feel welcome as word travels fast if you intend to keep your owner in business. Also, your staff is watching you & they can only be as good as their leader

Six of us went there for their happy hour. Draft beer was not working, so we were charged normal bottle prices. Waitress we had was terrible. We literally had to ask her two to three times for her to remember what we had asked her previously. She was constantly on her phone.We had to take napkins from other tables, cause she never came back with any for us. Not a pleasant experience
