Boem Restaurant (located at Montrose and Pulaski) is a remodeled, modern place under a new management that has recently reopened. From the moment you walk into the restaurant, you feel welcomed by the wonderful wait staff and the new owners! The wait staff and management treat you as royalty making sure that you your drinks, food, and ambient satisfactory! Inside décor is rich and modern with marble tables, leather chairs, great wall art, new bar, and dancing floor. Boem also has an excellent outdoor patio that is perfect for relaxing with friends and drinking cocktails! The menu has a variety of the Serbian and American delicious dishes, from stuffed mushrooms, cheese crepes, fish, home cooked meals such as Karaoreva nicla - Serbian breaded cutlet dish stuffed with soft cheese, side dishes such as vegetable rice and roasted potatoes...etc! Great food, great drinks! There is also live Serbian music.  Band we saw played a variety of songs from pop to folk music even songs from Adele! Musicians and singers were great entertainers with lots of talent! I highly recommend this place for romantic dinners, family events, business meetings or just fun night out with friends!
Review Source:Hubby and I tried Boem for the first time last night and we were pleasantly suprised.
My first thought was that the place was smoky and out of date (which it is) however, the service we received far outweighed the atmosphere.
Our waitress was friendly and helpful as she guided us through the cuisine since we were unfamiliar with it. The service is what bumped them up to a 4 star, our waitress was really that great!
We ended up both ordering a beef soup, hubby ordered  the "pork" sausages cavepa (sp?) and I ordered the stuffed chicken.
The beef soup had good flavor, although I gotta admit because they use chicken broth the beef tasted more like chicken than beef but it clearly was beef. It was also huge, you could order that and eat it with the bread on the table and be full.
The Cavepas were very good, almost like breakfast sausage but with a middleeastern flavor. I referred to them as "prok" sausage because they say pork on the menu but they are actually beef.
The chicken was pretty good, though it needed seasoning it was prepared well  and the cheese sauce was great! The fries that came with both entrees were also delicious.
Overall it was was a good experience and would definitely go back.
Having just moved to Chicago I was disappointed when I found out my usual serbian restaurant from visits had closed. Â Have no fear Boem to the rescue. Â I've been here before, but it has changed....for the better. Â They improved the booths and the tables and if memory serves me correctly even moved the bar. Â If you're a vegetarian this is definitely not the place for you. Â Serbs eat meat and lots of it. Â They also roast whole lambs and pigs on the patio on a spit. Â If you want to experience the culture they have live music by their "house" band 5 out of 7 days a week. Â The singers have great voices and typically walk around the crowd while singing. Â Have a request? Â They'll do it, the keyboard players seem to know every song ever recorded and the singers have been known to pull lyrics up on a cell phone without skipping a beat.
Review Source:Yesterday, I had visited Cafe Boem.I didnt go to the cafe for a long time. Like 10 years. I was surprised to hear some good ole serbian music from the 90s and it was a joyous occassion.
There were alot of people and the singer was hot and sexy. LOL
She was singing many different songs.
I saw some nice looking girls. I left at 2 am and surprised to see more women coming into the establishment.
Anyways, the food and drink was good and couldnt complain.
Very friendly and helpful service. Our language group came here for one of our Meetups and found ourselves alone on a Friday night. Apparently things don't get moving until after 9pm or so. The weekends showcase live music and I'm sad I left early because I heard that one of our members got to sing some songs and now I'm jealous. But at least I was back with the Balkan hospitality for a night.
Huge menu, but they don't always have all of the items prepared. No big deal, they have plenty more to choose from. Bring a hearty appetite, because you will most likely have left overs. Their sopska salata was one of the best I've had in Chicagoland. I wasn't as thrilled with my pljeskavica; however, the gulas and corba looked amazing. Cevapi smelled good too. More grilled meats than you could imagine. I can't wait to try the place again.
Dessert and wine list is extensive, but they only had palacinke (crepes) that night. Don't come looking for decaf coffee either. Decaf is not in the Balkan vocabulary. Get with the program and grab a cup of Turkish or a nice glass of Vranac red wine.
