We had not been to Boulevard in about 15 years so we didn’t know what to expect. It was quite a surprise to see how great everything was and the food was phenomenal. Our server was beyond amazing and made the night! Highly recommend.

I thought the food was fairly pedestrian despite all the effort to make it special with the delightful menu descriptions. Most of the dishes were fairly bland i.e. was the chef circumspect in allowing the various and thoughtful ingredients standout in order to appeal to a broad audience? Our table of six ordered mostly something different so that all of us could sample the plates and with the exception of one two plates most left us wanting. I haven't been to Boulevard in quite some time so the let down from the anticipation was disappointing. While the ambience, comfort level and staff was great I found however, the $125.00 prix fix menu overpriced.

It was a birthday party of 6 for 2 of the participants. We had an array of foods from pork shops to the vegetable soufflé to beef and everything was superb!

This was our 31st year celebrating Christmas at Boulevard. We have had the same table every year . Even as our family grew, the birth of our son, then his girlfriend, who became his wife. Even as the world has changed Boulevard has been the one constant that hasn’t. From beautiful decor, amazing food and wonderful people. Thank you Boulevard for making another Christmas perfection. I hope to see thirty more years of Celebrating at your amazing restaurant.

One of our favorite restaurants was a little off tonight. Some of our food was great, other dishes pretty mediocre. Service very rushed at first. Then our guests’ food arrived quite a bit ahead of ours so there was a long awkward wait until we convinced them to begin without us. Gorgeous ambience as usual was made even better by the Christmas decorations. We still love this place, but tonight was a little disappointing. We’ll be back, though.

We did the Christmas Eve three course tasting menu. Absolutely delicious! Service was immaculate and the atmosphere was spectacular. In a world where restaurants aren’t afraid to charge first class prices for third class food, this was a nice find. Not cheap, but absolutely worth every penny.
