    We had a wonderful experience at BLVD steakhouse. We visited for my birthday and the entire experience was excellent. I had mistakenly made our reservation in the atrium and they were able to move us to the main dining room which is gorgeous. The old fashioned I had was perfectly made, the food was impeccable, as was the service. We will definitely return to BLVD for dinner soon!

    Excellent! Food, service, vale. We had a 6:30 resv on a recent Friday night and the place was immaculate. Was able to park very close. We learned that they have been open about 3 mths thus far so all is shiny and tasteful. Has a city vibe without the hassle. Nice bar set up and many dining tables and booths. Authentic delicious Italian. We learned that the owners are the chefs. We also learned that the balsamic vinnegar that is provided along with olive oil on the table is 15 year old aged. Was delicious with the home made 2 different types of bread provided. The spices and flavors of our meals were spot on. Zander, our server, was top shelf and very friendly. Definitely going back!
