    8 oz. Filet Mignon with béarnaise sauce
    Keo T.

    Made a reservation just hours before coming in on a Friday evening and we got a table right away. Anastasia was our waitress and she knowledgeable at offering what's the newest on the menu and the daily specials. The "perfect pear" cocktail was so delicious I end up having 3 glasses of it. Along side pan seared calamari, filet mignon, and the Seabass and curry coconut was amazing good. Great meal to end our night

    Hot towels brought to the table twice!

    Jake appeared instantly to offer drinks! Spicy margarita thank you! We shared pull-apart bread (delicious) and Asian Ribs (double delicious). Ordered Waygu Black and Blue burger and Fries, BBQ ribs, BLVD Burger, prosciutto and pear flatbread. . So many options that tempted all. Jake scored big when he brout our plates for sharing the burger in ADVANCE! Usually we get the meal and have to ask for the extra plate . . And wait. Awesome time in this happy place! And . . Hot towels between courses!!!

    Espresso Martini
    Tara G.

    I went to BLVD for Saturday brunch with a group of friends and there was a lot to love: - The Espresso Martini (my drink of choice at any time of day) tasted great. - The food was really good. I had the Crab Cake Benedict - highly recommend! I also got a side of the Lobster Mac to bring home and even reheated it was delicious. - Although located in a strip mall, the inside of the restaurant is very classy. - Our server was very personable and once we got our orders in everything came out really quick. We did wait a little longer than I was expecting for our orders and our checks after we were done eating, however that was partially our fault as we were a group of 6 friends catching up and it was obvious our server was trying to be respectful and give us space.

    Salted Caramel Sundae
    Laura E.

    My mom came here on Friday with some friends and enjoyed the food (I think crab cakes?). She suggested going here last night and tried calling to make a reservation. Though she was told that they couldn't take reservations by phone, we were seated right away when we arrived. Plenty of seating inside and outside; we decided to sit outside. I got the seafood cioppino and my mom got the ribs. Cioppino had bread at the bottom of the bowl, which I have not seen before. For dessert, I had the salted caramel sundae, which had the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Waiter was friendly and our food was served quickly. Would come back!

    BLVD Kitchen & Bar: A Fun and Fun Easter I loved everything about our Easter. BLVD Kitchen & Bar got 5 stars from us. I was impressed how smooth everything was, considering it's Easter Sunday and all. The atmosphere is amazing. The dim lighting is so calming and comfortable. The service was top notch. From holding doors open to old school customer service the staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome and valued. The food was great. I mean, it's a good thing. The food was a work of art. Each dish was presented so beautifully it was almost too pretty to eat! The taste didn't quite live up to the presentation but it was good. But the star of the show for me was the mint lemonade. It was so good! So sweet and full of fruit flavor. Try it! Overall BLVD Kitchen & Bar is a great spot for a special occasion or just a night out. The atmosphere, service and food is a total win.

    Pepita Crusted Halibut
    Gina Z.

    BLVD is always a guaranteed good bite! I've had the pleasure of dining here multiple times and am a big fan of their scratch kitchen. As soon as you enter BLVD, the smell of the wood-fired grill captivates your nostrils. BLVD offers a wide variety of à la carte items and seasonal specials. During my recent visit, our table had the pleasure of indulging in: - "Pepita crusted Halibut": the Halibut was buttery, crunchy, and flaky. Paired with a butternut squash mash, this creamy pairing melted in my mouth at first bite. I found the thickness and portion to be fair for value; it was a steak-like piece of fish. I would happily order this dish again, but unfortunately, it will only be available for the fall season. - "Grilled Salmon": Served with basmati rice, asparagus, and pineapple salsa. The basmati rice was slightly undercooked, but it didn't compromise my liking of the salmon and the asparagus. The MVP of this dish was a creamy garlic aioli served on the side, but I smothered it over most of my bites. - "Margherita Pizza": I love wood-fired grilled pizzas, and this one is done right. 5/5 cheese pull! Thin, light, and perfectly crisp crust. These bites were crunchy and creamy. I loved the choice of cherry tomatoes over sliced tomatoes, as it made every bite of this pizza insanely juicy - in the best way. - "Kid's Cheeseburger": From the little person at the table, the kid's cheeseburger was rated 5/5. The brioche bun was described as soft and buttery, and the patty (which only includes cheese) as delicious. -"Seasonal Pumpkin Ice Cream": This was UH-MAY-ZING! I was skeptical at first because while I appreciate Pumpkin, I'm not a die-hard Pumpkin-flavored fan. However, this ice cream was perfectly balanced. In the ice cream, I tasted notes of vanilla and cinnamon. Mixed in were tiny, grated pieces of fresh pumpkin, which were not overpowering and just the right touch. Served with the ice cream for dipping, or eating alone, was a house-made biscotti. The biscotti was baked crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I've dined at BLVD several times in the last several years. I've rarely had a negative experience as it relates to their cuisine, and none that compromised my return. In my experience, the food has been fresh, savory, and cooked very well. The service may be a hit or miss, depending on their level of business. Not an excuse or fun to experience, but for the most part, I've had more positive experiences than negative. I'm unsure if BLVD accepts reservations as they're not on OpenTable, and every time I've dined, I've walked in. There are times (especially during Happy Hour and weekends) when the restaurant is full. Still, even then, the hosts are pretty accommodating, and I've not experienced a wait longer than 20-30 minutes during rushes. During your wait - should that ever be your experience - the bar at BLVD is my second favorite reason to revisit. Whether a mocktail or a cocktail, BLVD's bartenders know how to mix a good time. My favorite mocktail is the refreshing "Blackberry Basil Mocktini". My favorite cocktail is the stiff but well-balanced "Perfect Pear". My multiple returns confirm my opinion of this special, casual eatery.

    We check this place out awhile back and my experience has stuck with me since. We paid about $150 after tip for very mediocre food. I've included a picture of everything we got and honestly everything was bland. I was most excited for the lobster Mac and Cheese (which looks beautiful and life it'd have a lot of flavor) but it had zero flavor to it. In the pictures it looked like the restaurant would have a pretty cozy dining vibe but once we got there we realized it has a pretty corporate atmosphere. Maybe it was because we went on a weekday so maybe the weekends are different but it was not ideal for a romantic date night. Our service was alright but honestly a little awkward. I got long pauses/blank stares from the waitress after everything I said and it made me slightly uncomfortable. I will say the BLVD ice cube in our drink was a nice touch and I found that to be pretty neat. But it honestly didn't make up for the price tag. I'm not one to leave bad reviews or to be too harsh but we won't be back after this initial experience.

    Baked Brie
    Melissa M.

    Our server was fantastic, gave us menu recommendations and was always checking in on us at a good time. The menu was slightly different than the last time I was in so great to see them updating their menu as time goes by. We started with the Brie and pear with lingonberry jam appetizer which was incredible--definitely can split between 2-3 people. My friend had the fillet which was cooked perfectly medium rare, beautiful grill marks, super flavorful butter garlic potatoes, and asparagus (still had a lot of tough ends on the spears but easy to pick around). I had the half beet salad which was massive for a half salad, a whole salad could be split between two people I'm guessing. I also had the sticky ribs appetizer as my entree, it comes with 6 sticky ribs and a side of Asian slaw. The ribs were tender, sauced perfectly, crispy outside and juicy inside. The flavor of the sauce was delicious. Overall, I loved the meal. It's definitely more of an upscale place than a family dinner style restaurant but it's not super fine dining that requires a formal outfit and such. There's a variety of seating for small or larger groups, a dining room area as well as a bar style area from what we could see. Great spot for a nice dinner of a spot to celebrate that special moment!

    Salmon dinner with pineapple salsa, asparagus, and rice.
    Amy A.

    Picked up a takeaway dinner from BLVD recently. Process was very easy - can order online through the website and meal was available in about 20 min. Pick-up was also easy from the host stand inside. Utensils were provided upon asking. I ordered the salmon filet entree with pineapple salsa, asparagus, and rice. Salmon was perfectly cooked - you can tell them how they want it cooked when you check out, I chose medium rare. The pineapple salsa was excellent and the asparagus and rice were good as well. Prices are a bit high, but the meal was very high-quality and I would order again. Enjoyed the flavors!

    White Chocolate Bread Pudding with a birthday sparkler
    Beth F.

    Our plans had to pivot so our group ended up here and what a treat! While the patio dining looked so pretty, we didn't have a reservation so we're seated in a big booth in the bar. what a treat! The place was hopping with families, couples, business groups and ladies like us. If you are looking for a quiet atmosphere, inside dining is not the best, reserve a table outside. The assortment of cocktails and mocktails offered something for everyone to kick off our dinner. The menu options offer something for everyone with a wide array of starters, salads, entrees and sandwiches. I chose to pair the Buffalo shrimp appetizer with sweet potato fries and was delighted with each of them. Everyone loved their selections as well from crab cakes to the prosciutto and pear pizza to huge salads. For a birthday treat, we shared the white chocolate bread pudding with caramel sauce, coconut and vanilla ice cream for the table which came highly recommended and did not disappoint. While plans changed, we had a great with great friends, great food, great service and fun atmosphere. Will be back again soon!

    Crab Cake BLT Sandwich
    Jakesa T.

    Location wise, this place to seemed to be a little hidden but right off the highway in the corner of a strip mall. There was a decent amount of parking. The vibe was very 'after work/happy hour' type setting. The lights were dim, the tvs were playing sports and this place was packed and loud, but not obnoxious. Our server was okay despite it being busy, he seemed to check on us routinely. Food came out as expected. The buffalo shrimp was quite tasty and the blue cheese put it over the top and I'm not a blue cheese kind of person. I also ordered a cosmo which was a little stronger than I had expected and the crab cake BLT. This was about a 6/10. Nothing special, just okay. They also have desserts which I did not partake in but my husband seemed to like the cheesecake which came with chocolate sauce, whip cream and a cookie on the side! And it was huge. I don't know if I'd suggest coming back here on purpose because it wasn't a memorable meal, but I would try it again if someone else wanted to go.

    BLVD Royale w/Cheese
    Thomas Z.

    Very impressive. I should say, we backed into BLVD on this Friday evening, having first driven to 3 other restaurants. The first, Revival, had gone out of business - what a shame, we loved this place. Then we tried Wok In The Park, where the wait was an hour plus. Off to La Mesa in Bryn Mawr, also an hour wait, though, oddly, it was barely occupied. Reservations had the place booked up, we were told. So it was off to BLVD, where our diligence was rewarded. It's a surprisingly large space. We grabbed a patio spot, finding the interior painfully loud (still, a good sign of a healthy business, it was buzzing) on a lovely night to sit outside. (Ding BLVD one star for the volume - we would have fled had the patio not been an option.) We enjoyed excellent cocktails, burgers and salads. The BLVD Manhattan used Woodford Reserve and was served bracingly cold - quite tasty. I could also highly recommend the BLVD Royale with Cheese simply for the lightly-charred pretzel bun, not to mention the Truffle Fries. Solid desserts. This place really delivers. The bill arrived, not too expensive and pleasantly free of mysterious service charges. We happily tipped 40%. In sum, don't sleep on BLVD Kitchen.

The drink round started...I was recommended the lavender haze and went for it. It was light and fruity which I like. We had ordered crispy calamari, steam mussels, lobster pappardelle, and chilean sea bass to share. Crispy calamari - cornmeal & parmesan crusted, buttermilk, harissa, nam pla, spicy mayo. This was crispy and delicious. The nam pla was like the Vietnamese fish sauce and was tasty. Steamed mussels - white wine, garlic butter were delicious. The bread was soft and the seasoning on the bread was really good. Dipped that in the nam pla sauce which made it a yummy combo too. Lobster pappardelle - brown butter, calabrian chili, basil flavors were delightful. Good chunks of lobsters mixed into the pasta. Chilean Sea Bass - ginger coconut sauce, sweet & sour cucumbers, kaiware. This was super delicious. I like the ginger coconut sauce over the sea bass. I wanted more. I'll be back for sure! The birthday dessert with light was fun to watch/experience! I wanted to give a shout out to our server Chris and all staff members giving us superb service! They always checked in to see if everything was ok or if anything else's was needed and thanked us. That's how you do service! AWESOME service Boketto team! Greatly appreciate it!

We made a reservation on both occasions but didn't have to make it too much in advance so it's always worth checking on. Service is always spectacular with a huge attention to detail and really customized spiels about the menu. The things I've recently tried for drinks have included the spritz del ambratta, the fiore, and a sparkling red from their wine selection. I find myself going back to the Fiore and would recommend that most although their wine is a solid selection as well. In my opinion, the best starter combination is the focaccia plus the lemony beans. The focaccia is solid and it's so good to dip in the mixture that the beans are doused in. The Caesar was decent as well but you can't miss with that other combo. Then, of course, the mains. If you love creamy pasta, do yourself a favor and get the cavatelli. One of my favorite dishes I've had there; I kept almost comparing it to an adult Mac and cheese. Great for sharing if creamy pastas are a bit too rich for your liking. The lasagna is always a close second and you can't go wrong with it. My friend adored the pickle pizza and I thought it was solid too although I would still probably get the cavatelli or lasagna if you are between that and the pizza. Another great shareable. The saffron spaghetti was decent with some really good bite from the noodles and the taste of saffron really coming through, but I would probably get those other dishes before I would order that. On the first occasion, I was there we were celebrating two of my friends' 30th birthdays and H&S did such a good job of celebrating and making them feel special plus they brought out French silk pie cannolis for us plus glasses of sparkling wine, so I would highly recommend this place as a celebratory dinner.
