    The food is amazing! Great atmosphere. The only problem is the wait was long. We were unable to get reservations but still chose to wait. The wait was well worth it. Main dishes are on the pricey side, but in this case you get what you pay for. I had the Chilean sea bass and my friend had the salmon special. Both were superb. Will definitely be back to try more!

    One of my daughters favorite restaurants. I went for the first time to celebrate Easter with her and her dad. It was fantastic. Our server Joel was charming, attentive, professional and well versed in the menu. My ex husband doesn’t like coconut so Joel suggested a non coconut flavored caramel for the bread pudding. I tried both that and the regular version my daughter ordered. Hard to choose a favorite! Dinner was delicious. Drinks and desserts fantastic. Top notch service and being open on a holiday were the icing on the cake. I’ll be back

    The Blvd is one of my regular haunts. Great cocktails, consistent awesome food, and the best wait staff in the western burns. Sit at the bar and have Mitchell, Andy, Derek or Christian pour you out one of their favorite cocktails. As a real estate broker, my schedule it nuts and the Blvd is where I go to catch a meal or unwind after a long day of showings.

    We had reserved a room with a rather large group but the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Even though they had so many people to take care of, the wait staff took the time to touch base with each of us and made a point to not rush through the process. It was a loud experience but I think that was our group was the loud ones. The food was delicious and a surprisingly larger portion than I had expected. Side note, the menu did say asparagus but we ended up with green beans. It was a unique experience and I was pleased with what we all ended up with.

    Food was amazing and portion was bigger than I thought! Our server was very nice and attentive as well. We decided to have a semi private dinner to celebrate a milestone birthday and couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate it at. Not sure why that was considered semi private when we're pretty much away from everyone, it seemed more private to me. We were allowed to go in a little earlier to decorate to make it extra special. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Food portion was so big everyone had leftovers, the best dish for me would have to be the lobster Mac and cheese and the Chilean sea bass.

    Wow, will definitely stop back here again. Food was fresh and hot. Staff was very attentive to all the tables, it was very busy when we got there but did not have a delay in seating or dining. Ordered sticky ribs for our app, and the Royale burger with truffle fries for our main. Great experience all around.

    Great food and great 1st time experience. Never been to this restaurant before. My friend and I decided to try BLVD for brunch. Location was right off the freeway and easy to find. Parking options were simple, wait was not too bad and it was an overall great experience. I enjoyed the mimosas and very friendly atmosphere and I plan to go back. Patrick provided great service throughout the entire visit. Their menu list had many options to choose from, the cost was reasonable and well worth it. I witnessed the restuarant being able to accommodate a variety of customers. I seen families, a baby shower plus friends out enjoying brunch. I would definitely recommend. 😊

    I’ve been to BLVD a few times, most recently for Sunday brunch with the family. There were six of us plus a baby, and the staff were very accommodating and kind. My order was put in after the rest of my party due to a minor mistake by one of the servers, and they were so apologetic and even comped my meal. I wasn’t upset at all because they still got my food out quickly, but it was so nice of them to take my meal off the bill. The quality of the food is great too, especially the truffle fries. Thanks to the lovely staff for a great visit!

    Today I took my wife out to eat for her early birthday meal. We had a delicious meal along with OUTSTANDING hospitality service from our server Patrick. He is a wonderful server who aims to take care of all that comes to dine in. Food was delicious as always and most of all patrick choice of dessert was FANTASTIC! Jumbo shrimp is to die for and wings/flatbread always a HIT!

    The food was amazing! We got the sea bass, jambalaya, side of lobster Mac n cheese, and the Oreo cheesecake. Everything was spot on. Only thing is the Mac n cheese needed a touch of salt and pepper. Everything else was absolutely AMAZING! Our server was great and it was a great experience. Would highly recommend and we'll definitely be coming back!

    I have been here every night I come into town, for every dinner. This place e is consistently awesome for every dish. My latest favorite is the steak and wedge salad. The truffle fries are a side dish favorite of mine. Devon was of excellent service tonight.

    I’ve eaten at Blvd before and liked it well enough but they clearly have raised the bar. The food was outstanding! I had the blackened salmon salad and it was divine! I’m usually hesitant to order calamari anywhere that isn’t close to where you can get it fresh but their calamari was tender and delicious. Staff was attentive and professional. Also a lovely outdoor patio!! We’ll be back

    First time here for a lunch meeting, it was packed! When we saw the parking lot .. we thought it was for the other places lol. And surprise!! So we ended up sitting at the bar and they serve full menu :) , so we order pasta , wings and fries . Everything was so delicious! And the stuff at the bar very attentive and friendly. Even being so busy, they did not show any rush in taking our order or giving us some advice on the food :) . I always appreciate that, because is my first time and I would like to come back and not saying “ no “ . So I like it and I’ll definitely go back with my family , even if I have to drive 30 minutes lol .

  • 4/5 Greg Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Food: 4/5; Service: 5/5; Ambience: 3/5; Overall: 4/5. Summary: Upscale suburban bar/restaurant. American fare. Food was just OK, especially considering the price. Our server (Patrick) was attentive, polite and accommodating. The venue was uncomfortably loud, in my opinion. My wife and I visited this upscale venue on a Wednesday evening about 7. To our surprise the place was completely packed. We’d made a reservation, and they seated us on time. My wife ordered the ribeye, which was overcooked. They prepared another steak which was better, and allowed us to keep the first one, which our dogs appreciated. I had the ciopinno, which was a mixed bag. The seafood was fine, but the sauce had an unusual, sort of funky flavor that I did not like. I like to order a Manhattan when the venue has a signature recipe. They do, and I did, and it was really pretty good. Recommended. This is our second visit to BLVD. The first was more positive, and this one wasn’t terrible, so we’ll likely try again at some point.

    We had a friend's engagement party here (rented out their private space), and it was divine! The food and drinks were classy and elegant, and the atmosphere was cute and quaint. We didn't get to use the outdoor section since it was raining but it would've definitely added a bit to the space. Would love to come here for a regular dinner date sometime!

    Wow, what a great place. So many great food options to choose from, I really had a hard time picking. Everything passing by us looked amazing. I ended up going with their daily special (since I will be able to go back and try other items on the full menu). It was a Salmon Florentine and it was amazing, best salmon dish I ever had, no jokes. My wife had the Prime Rib wich was also good. Our kids had the buttered noodles which they loved. I had a BLVD Manhattan, which was pretty good, maybe a little sweeter than I typically like, but didn't mind. The atmosphere was great. Very busy on a Friday night, which I was not surprised by after trying their food. Awesome spot, we will definitely be back.

    Amazing food, calm but lively atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. I would consider them closer to a fine dining experience than casual. I really enjoyed the mussels and the sea bass! So flavorful!

    Posh location. Stucked in the pocket of a strip mall. Beautiful location inside and out. Staff were warm and welcoming. Great food. A lot of screens so fantastic for a game night. Bar is spacious and has a lot of options. Inside and outside seating is available. Unique good items on the meny. Desserts are phenomenal. I'm coming back to try more of the menu.

    Very delicious food; they are skilled at all kinds of food from appetizers to meat to seafood. I had the Valentine's Day dinner for two and left very satisfied!

  • 5/5 Ben p. 1 year ago on Google
    TLDR: Food - Amazing Wait - Half the quoted time Service - Server Nichole T was amazing. 10/10 Price- About $150 after tip (2 pops, 1 appetizer, 2 entree, 2 desserts) My fiancé and I came for a belated Valentine’s Day. Have been in the area plenty of times and thought it smelled amazing. Was quoted a 40 minute wait time, and given the option of buzzer or text message. Only had to wait 20 minutes. We were sat, quickly offered drinks, and given a couple recommendations from the menu. The sticky ribs were an amazing appetizer. First sticky rib I’ve ever had but better than every other rib. Burger was fantastic and the steak was good. Finished off our meal with the brownie sundae (huge and amazing) and a creme brûlée. Service was amazing by our server Nichole T. She was super attentive to our table and every table in her section. She gave us recommendations for the sticky ribs and the burger as staff favorite. We were done with our main course about 40 minutes after being seated. Will happily be coming back.

    Outstanding service and food. Our group of 5 was well taken care of, without hovering. Food presentations were amazing and flavors were pleasing. We'll be back.

  • 5/5 Dakota O. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place. We loved the smell from the wood fire grill in the back, and it had a very comfortable feel to it. Waiter was awesome and very attentive but not bothersome. We will definitely highlight this restaurant for friends and family.

  • 5/5 Cherelle P. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the food here! Excellent service 👏 The French toast burger was amazing! Tried the crab cake BLT and truffle fries, they did an outstanding job. 10/10 would recommend and they deliver every time I go.

  • 5/5 Cristina 4 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Lunch was good, ordered the crispy fried shrimp tacos. Delicious and scarfed all three down. However I would recommend getting rid of the corn tortillas — change to flour or make it a salad. The corn tortillas kept splitting and held nothing in—was so messy and akward for a lunch meal out with co-workers. Service was good and the waiter was friendly.

    I ordered a medium steak, you can see in the picture that what I received was raw. The sides were bland as well. Our waitress was too busy focusing on a large table for us to complain. After waiting 20 minutes for her to come back, I flagged down a different waitress for the check. Sad to see a formerly great restaurant take such a noise dive in quality.
