    Tuna tartare
    Aryo S.

    BLVD Steak opened up in November 2023 (when I first started coming here) and it's been a great addition to the SFV scene on this side of town. Ambiance: Modern with dark tones (some parts of the restaurant are dark), leather chairs, emerald-colored booths. It's definitely stylish, classy with a mix of intimacy; there's some good energy here. The square shaped bar is stylish with marbled counter and chair stool seating; there's a couple TVs within view sitting in this section. There's also the main dining room as well as a partially covered patio. Good music. I've sat in the bar as well as the main dining room and find them both enjoyable. Service: Service has always been great the times I have been with everyone being professional, friendly and addressing needs easily from ownership, management, and all staff members. Food: A good mix of starters, fresh seafood, salads, steaks of course, various side dishes, and some other entrees. A few of my favorites include the wagyu meatball steak tartare jumbo shrimp cocktail chopped salad 6 oz petit filet 32 oz porterhouse mashed potato mac & cheese The steaks I've ordered have been cooked well to my liking and the meats have always been tender and seasoned well. The wagyu meatball is very tender with good flavor, the vodka sauce is not overpowering. Love the chopped salad with the red wine vinaigrette and the crunch from the crispy chickpeas. Mashed potatoes are creamy and very good. The jumbo shrimp cocktail is great and comes with three shrimps served with lemon, mustard aioli and cocktail sauce. Drinks: Great classic and off-menu cocktails, a couple beers, a couple non-alcoholic cocktails/mocktails, champagne and a wonderfully curated wine list. My ultimate favorite is the BLVD martini made with gin. It automatically comes with a half-filled side shaker effectively giving you an extra pour for a great value and experience. Happy hour: 5-6pm in the bar only, featuring some discounted cocktails and foods (from the main menu but with the addition of a burger) Parking: There is valet parking available (currently at $15). There is street metered parking as well on Ventura Blvd. Prices: Comparable to other steak house establishments. drinks: cocktails $19-26, wines (glass) $14-40, starters: $6-48 (the main ones are in mid to high $20's), seafood: $29-mp, salads: $19-20, sauces/butters/toppers $2-28, sides:$15-42 (the main ones are in the $15/16 range), steaks: $62-198, other entrees/favorites: $32-56, happy hour: expect to find cocktails at $12-19, wines/champagne $12-59, food $8-87) in the bar only 5-6pm Fun Facts: -Their sister restaurants are Taisho and Casita which you can find within a few blocks -BLVD Steak opened up a second location in Calabasas in 2026

    It has been a while since I've been to BLVD Steak and was so excited to go last night. Starting with the appetizers - Wagyu meatball in vodka sauce with parmesan flaked on top - so soft and delicious melt in your mouth meatballs! - yellowtail crudo - refreshing and delicious - cesar salad - um those roasted garlic croutons are so perfect, they are softly crunchy and so flavorful! And that soft flakey parmesan grating on top, so good. To drink - Water - I was happy that the waitress was attentive and kept our water glasses full - Blood Orange Mule - still my favorite in the black Mule Cup! I recommend, it is refreshing and delicious! - Some of my friends had the Watermelon Margarita and they said it was very delicious and refreshing For my entree - 6 oz petit filet - Oh man, cooked to perfection! The meat just melted in my mouth just like the meatball and cooked exactly to what I asked. On the side: Mac and Cheese (soooo smooth and cheesy), Mashed potato (I loved getting little chunks of potato which meant it was real potato), and sauteed spinach (I LOVE that the spinach was not doused in any cream, it is delicious and healthy and well I love spinach so I ate more spinach than anyone at the table haha. - One of my friends got the Steak Frites which I must comment on because her plate looked amazing, I will post the photo, it's truly a bed of shoestring fries with a very generous piece of steak! For dessert to share with the table - Butter cake - this is my favorite, with those macerated strawberries and honestly you don't even need the ice cream that sits on top because it's so delicious even without it! - Cheesecake with amarena wild cherries on top, Look I'm not the biggest fan of cheesecake, but the cheesecake here is so delicious, it tastes fresh and not heavy. For me the cherries on top are truly a cherry on top! If you have never tried BLVD Steak, check it out, especially for a date night, or just to hang out at the bar.

    What an amazing place in Sherman Oaks! Love the atmosphere, amazing service and our server Annie was truly sweet and helpful. The steak we had was made perfectly, the sides were yummy and wine selection was so on point. They also have great happy hour to enjoy before dinner. Highly recommended.

    Gin Martini with Blue Cheese Olives

    Another terrific experience at Blvd. Steak, where six of us managed to snag a corner of the bar and enjoy Friday Happy Hour at the start of the July 4th holiday weekend. As always, the staff brought their A-game, making sure we were able to hold spots as people in our party arrived in different vehicles, and making drinks quickly, exactly as requested. Our group variously ordered an array of martinis, shrimp cocktail, crab cocktail, steak tartare, a burger, French fries and cake. Yes, it WAS the start of a holiday! Of this wide-ranging order, my own items were a most excellent gin martini with blue cheese olives, served frosty cold and perfectly prepared, followed by a top notch shrimp cocktail that was fresh, cold, very flavorful, and steaming from dry ice. Still feeling peckish, I also ordered the steak tartare: again, a fresh and properly chopped mix of beef, egg and seasonings, served with garlic crostini. This was a very tasty, very "clean" expression of tartare, with the beef being allowed to shine rather than having too much creaminess masking its flavor. And so, once again, Blvd. Steak came through with a great meal and a great time in a room that somehow always feels both comfortable and celebratory. Happy 4th!!

    Dinner for my cousins birthday was EXCELLENT!  Everything we ordered was delicious and on point.

    Highly recommend you stop by and enjoy an excellent dinner with delicious cocktails!! The service was amazing and the staff were lots of fun also. BLVD Steak was small but cozy and not so loud that we couldn't enjoy ourselves and joke the entire time we were there! We will be back, would love to get our waitress phone number that did a standup job of photo bombing us!! Her recommendations were all top notch.

    During recent trip we had the pleasure of meeting Christy/ie. She was especially wonderful when I asked about the quality of their lettuce/produce (because you know, exploding bowels and whatnot). Not only did she ask the chef's first hand the answer, she came back and showed me documentation. She went above and beyond, and I truly appreciated it. It also meant that I was able to try the delicious Caesar salad that I hear everyone rave about. We also were able to partake of the crab cake, wagyu ribeye, and our must-haves of pretzel bread and truffle gnocchi. We are also slowly making our way through the cocktail list. Banana maitai (I think would be even better if you added ice cream to it and made it a alchy-float) Espresso martini with reposado! (Validation! I prefer tequila over gin and this helped prove my palate was correct) Dessert wise, you can't go wrong with the butter cake. We also tried the chocolate cake. Both are excellent, and if you have room, then get both. Special thanks to Chad for always being amazing and welcoming us so warmly. Additionally, I truly appreciate it when my little one was looking for the bathroom and Chad kindly pointed them to the correct door.

    Tried BLVD Steak for the first time last night with a few friends and had a great experience. We didn't have a reservation, so we grabbed seats at the bar, which ended up being AMAZING. There's valet available for $14, which is super convenient, but you can also find street parking if you get lucky. I got there a little early and started with a glass of Prosecco, then had a dirty martini that was delicious. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and the bartenders were incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a really enjoyable night.

    This place is fantastic! It was a real pleasure being able to visit and indulge in all of the delicious options offered at BLVD Steak! For appetizers, we tried the Wagyu beef meatball, the scallops (which were a special of the night), and shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail was so soft and delicious and the presentation was superb! The scallops had a great flavor and the Wagyu beef meatball was delicious and soft. For my man course, I ordered the day's special wich was a Wagyu beef steak with a balsamic glaze and it was amazingly soft and flavorful. Others at my table had a bite and also raved about it. They do steak right at this restaurant. Additionally, my favorite side dish was the mushrooms. I highly recommend if you enjoy mushrooms. Our server was very kind and personable. Everything about the experience was top tier.

    Last night was my first time at Blvd Steak, and I had a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. The seared steak was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and incredibly tender. The mashed potatoes were creamy and so good, and the crispy broccoli was hands down one of the best sides I've had. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and very helpful throughout the entire meal, which made the experience even better. The restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere--upscale without feeling overly formal. It's a great spot for a date night, celebration, or just a nice dinner out. One thing I really appreciated was that it isn't a sports-bar type of place with TVs everywhere, so you can actually enjoy the ambiance and conversation. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

    My significant other and I visited BLVD Steakhouse for the first time for my birthday. A good friend has raved about the restaurant for quite some time, so I was excited to give it a try. I enjoyed everything about the restaurant, and I look forward to going back. We had an early reservation and were seated right away upon arrival in a great booth that was spacious and had a view of the entire dining area on the side we were on. Upon being seated, our server, Jon, stopped by right away to welcome us. We had a few minutes to look at the menu, and Jon let us know about the evening's specials. We decided on a seafood tower for two, 6 oz filets, a loaded baked potato, and a lobster tail. The lobster tail was a special for the evening, at a smaller size than the usual one on the menu. Well, I must have gotten lucky because it was large to me. Everything was delicious. Once we were finished, Jon brought over a birthday dessert with a fun sparkler in it. The dessert was butter cake and ice cream, which was an enjoyable finish to the evening. Overall, I really enjoyed all the food that I tried, and Jon went above and beyond to make my birthday dinner very special.

    Happy New Year! My husband and I came here to bring in 2026. Even though it's a restaurant, it was a still a party! There was dancing, drinking, and a lot of fun. People were enjoying their delicious sea bass and butter cakes while others (me) were enjoying the tequila shots lol. The theme was 007 so the decorations were really cool. They provided everyone with 2026 hats, beads, blowers and a complementary glass of champagne to celebrate. This was truly the place to be on such a big night with all of my friends and I enjoyed making new friends. The perfect way to start the New Year!

    Came here for my birthday dinner on January 22 and honestly had a great experience. The place was packed, and it was a weeknight, which already tells you this spot is popular for a reason. We had a reservation for six, but only three of us arrived first. They still seated us right away and didn't make us wait for the rest of our group, which I really appreciated. The front was crowded, so not having to stand around was a big plus. We were seated in the back and I didn't even realize how big this restaurant was until then. From the outside, it looks smaller, but inside it's actually huge. The vibe was great. Everyone looked happy to be there. A lot of tables were celebrating birthdays too, so it felt like a fun, positive night all around. Most of us ordered steak. I got the 16 oz New York steak and loved it, but I'm also a big meat guy, so I'm a little biased. The appetizers were really good. The Wagyu meatballs, lobster mashed potatoes, and truffle fries are a must. The shrimp appetizer was also amazing and different from the usual shrimp cocktail. The creamed spinach was another favorite. Super good. The Caesar salad was fine. Not bad at all, just not the best I've ever had. Still enjoyed it. Service was excellent. Someone was always refilling our water before we even had to ask, which was perfect because I was really thirsty that night. All the servers were friendly, quick, and very attentive. Overall, food was about an 8 out of 10, service was 10 out of 10, and the vibe was 10 out of 10. Great place for celebrations. I'd definitely come back. Highly recommend if you want good steak, great service, and a fun atmosphere.

    Ask the Community - BLVD Steak

    Is there a way to get low sodium steak or salmon?

    No but you can probably ask for any sauces on the side and just have the meat alone

    What's the parking situation if I don't want to valet?

    Good luck! Parking on the street is your only other option, which is no option!

    Will they provide a high chair for toddlers?

    Yes

    What is corkage fee?

    It am amount charged when a customer brings their own bottle of wine. They will serve and poor it for you but stated amount will be charged. The corkage fee should be shown on the menu.

    Looking for 5:30 seat at the bar? How do I make this rezzie

    You should be able to get a seat at the bar at 5:30. The bar however is first come first serve. Resys are not taken for the bar. You're welcome to put a request in if you make a Resy on the Resy app. However they do not take resys for the bar. But… 

    Do they have a private room for a business meeting?

    Yes, but I assume you need to request it.

    Do they have a dress code?

    No dress code. It is upscale.

I'm not expecting a bargain or a "deal" but definitely get something reasonable for the amount of money that is being charged. I sent this feedback directly to the restaurant in a polite email, expecting at least a basic acknowledgment from management. Receiving zero response shows how little customer feedback is prioritized.

My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday for a quick drink before a movie, and the "vibe" was non-existent. They have four TVs at the bar, but the setup was bizarre, two were completely off and another was just frozen on a directory logo. The biggest issue, however, is the cleanliness--or lack thereof. The place is incredibly dirty. It feels like it hasn't had a deep clean in weeks, maybe longer. The bar top was disgusting, the floors were grimy, and even the woodwork looked like it hadn't seen a rag since opening day. They are charging $17 for "signature cocktails," which is bold for a spot that feels like a neglected dive bar. If you're going to charge premium prices, you have to at least wipe down the countertops. Service-wise, the bartender was friendly enough but low energy and minimal level of service. To make matters worse, a shift change happened while we were there, and the departing bartender made us close out our check and start a brand-new one with the next person. Why should the staff's administrative hand-off be the customer's issue? It's just unprofessional. The Valley has so many actual dive bars with character and plenty of high-end spots for a great cocktail; I'm not sure where this place is trying to fit in. It feels like someone bought it and just stopped caring. We won't be back.

    Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

How does one determine that a Japanese restaurant is fantastic? First you start with the ambience, then you start with a selection of the menu, then you look at the presentation of each plate and dish and the creative reiteration of that dish. At Taisho which is located in the heart of the Valley in Sherman Oaks, is a wonderful restaurant with great creativity and presentation and ambience... And it hits all the marks of a truly wonderful Japanese restaurant. This restaurant is so good that even living in Orange County, what desires to go back into the valley, which is quite a jaunt. We occasionally go to the valley for family and friends and events... And from now on, we will be stopping by this wonderful Japanese restaurant. I'm going to post some pictures and let the pictures speak for themselves. If you're ever in the valley, you gotta make this one of your stops.

    In the interest of fairness, I have to lead with the fact that the food is really quite good. The…read morehostess was very sweet, and even helped us change tables when we learned that we while were sitting at an indoor table, it right next to the entrance to the open patio where they have an additional 10 tables or soy. Long story short, my wife was starting to sweat so she wanted to be inside with some A/C. So far, so good. Our waiter was so awesome, but it was his first day, so understandably, he made a couple of very minor mistakes that were easily fixed. He brought out a dish we did not order (which he swapped for the correct one) and he forgot to bring the cocktail that my wife ordered. Again, no big deal. Now... the food. If you are looking for a sushi restaurant, this is not for you. They do have some sushi, but it is very limited, and frankly the options they did have were wildly overpriced. Selling salmon sashimi for $40 is a huge ask. As for the atmosphere, it's a pretty sharp looking space, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but they leave all the windows and doors open at all times, so if it's a warm evening, you're going to be hot even if you sit outside. Also, the music gets progressively louder as nightfall progresses, so it can be tough to have a conversation without shouting. Bottom line, if you're looking for a good sushi spot, there are half a dozen other places within walking distance that are, in my opinion, much better. If you're looking for a wider variety of Japanese cuisine, and have a few hundred extra dollars lying around, then go ahead and give Taisho a try.

    We've been coming to The Rendition Room for years, whether for work events or date nights, and…read morebecoming members nearly three years ago was one of the easiest decisions we've made. It's become so much more than just one of our favorite bars and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The biggest reason, though, is the people. Hospitality is something that's hard to fake, and the team here does it effortlessly. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted like an old friend. Over the years, the staff has created an environment that feels welcoming, comfortable, and genuinely personal, and that's something that's become increasingly rare. Matt, Sabrina, and the entire team are all such gems. Scott also deserves special recognition. He's a huge part of what makes The Rendition Room such a special place. Whether he's introducing a new cocktail, sharing the story behind a spirit, or simply taking the time to check in, his passion and care for every guest shine through. It's people like Scott who transform a great bar into a place you truly feel connected to. On our most recent visit, we tried the new Decade & Debauchery cocktail, celebrating The Rendition Room's 10 year anniversary, and it's phenomenal. Balanced, and beautifully executed. In a city full of great bars, they have managed to create something much harder to find, a sense of community. After all these years, it still feels just as special as the first time we walked in.

Their crudo is more of a Spanish style not Italian , Same with the tar tar , it's not authentic. But not saying it isn't good just not what I was expecting. So keep in mind when ordering. Will add that the arrancini are arguably top 5 in LA

Must try the pizzas, especially the one with hot honey. Good for sharing. The octopus was delicious, cooked so well it was tender and flavorful over a bed of forbidden rice. My main course was the short rib ravioli with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and it was really good and very feeling. overall enjoyed my meal, but I will say that there was six of us and the table was a bit snug as they placed us in a half rounded table and added two seats. Love the vibe of the restaurant very clean aesthetic. If you're concerned about parking, it is Ventura Boulevard so either grab street parking if you're lucky or save yourself the headache and go straight from valet. I would definitely come here again.

The atmosphere is casual and…read morefestive, with TV's playing sports and a varied crowd that includes daters, older couples, families and singles making the most of their weekend. There's music that's lively without being overbearing, and the staff is uniformly friendly. But... You have to order at the bar and, though they have runners to bring your food, you do have to hunt them down for anything after the delivery (extra ketchup, etc). While this isn't my favorite system at my age, to be fair, whatever the owners are saving on staff is reflected in the prices, which are absolutely below most places in the area for food that is good-quality and drinks that are generously poured. So yes, my wife's Espresso Martini was served in a deep-bellied Belgium beer glass, and my whiskey neat was a hefty pour. Yay!! For food, I ordered the Smash Burger, which is served with melted American, grilled onions and the house version of Russian dressing (as well as pickles, which I deleted). The burgers had a nice, smashed crust while remaining juicy, the cheese was properly melted, and the grilled onions had a terrific caramelized sweetness, while the house sauce was very well-balanced: ketchupy and creamy without being too mayonnaise-heavy. A very good smasher. My wife ordered the Big Texan Burger because she wanted cheddar and frizzled onions and BBQ sauce, though she deleted the bacon and pork belly that are normally included. This, too, was a very good burger: cooked to a proper and pleasing medium-rare and well-seasoned, with a good, fresh flavor to the beef. The onion rings were less successful, which are of the beer batter type, but seemed to be a commercial, frozen product. The coating was browned but not crisp, and the flavor was relatively nondescript. We didn't really eat them, and wouldn't order them again. And so, to me, The Tipsy Cow is a bit of a mixed bag: reasonably priced decent food and reasonably priced, generously-poured drinks -- but in a mostly self-serve environment that incrementally loses its appeal in relation to your age and your dining circumstances. Certainly worth a try, but you've gotta be in the right mood.
