    Beef slider
    Katie L.

    great happy hour daily!! Monday - Friday 4:30-6:30 and Weekends 2-4:30. Pros: -beautiful outdoor patio (very different vibe from inside) -fries and oysters are a great deal Cons: -it's loud (the L is literally right next to the restaurant, so heads up there) -the steak slider was incredibly dry, but 4oz of steak for $14 isn't a bad deal Would come back for drinks!

    Set outside. Great atmosphere with city noises. The server was very helpful and amicable very attentive service. Went for happy hour stayed for dinner. Happy hour times are different from the week to the weekend.4:30-6:30 during the week and 2-4:30 on the weekends. I recommend the bar bites during happy hour. The Waygu beef hotdog with caviar, the steak slider. Excellent both. For drinks try the Arnold Palmer Millk Punch. Amazing drink, flavor profile incredible. Also, try the KUMQUAT SPRITZ great flavors . For dinner I recommend the 16OZ WAGYU RIBEY Westholme, Australia medium. It was fantastic! So tender and juicy. It was paired with the GLAZED ROASTED CARROTS whipped goat cheese, candied pistachio, pickled carrot. Not heavy and paired well with the steak.

    Stuffed Mushroom caps

    Long overdue for a visit to BLVD, so I decided to pop in yesterday to check out their new happy hour menu. I'm just going to cut straight to it... THE BEEF STUFFED MUSHROOM CAPS WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU EVER PUT IN YOUR MOUTH. (...pause ) No exaggeration. Shoutout to our waitress, Rosie -- phenomenal. She actually comped us the caps, which is how we even discovered them. Also, shoutout to "TJ" (I believe she was a manager). The caps were so good I ordered some to go, and she came over like, "Just so you know, these are meant to be served a certain way, so they won't be as pretty..." I said, "I DON'T CARE." LOL She laughed, I laughed... but that right there? That's service. That's care. That's people who actually take pride in what they're putting out. BLVD -- easy 5 stars for the new happy hour menu. But let me be very clear... If those mushroom caps ever disappear, I'm dropping this to a 1! Lol....Matter of fact, I dont even want to go on the chandelier side anymore if the caps aren't there lol

    Came for a friend's birthday dinner while in town visiting. We had a reservation and were sat immediately upon arrival. Our waiter went over the menu and drink options and was pretty kind. We started with the oysters which were very fresh and amazing; I had the scallop dish that's served with glazed carrots and I thoroughly enjoyed the dish. I also had their cucumber mocktail which was super refreshing. The ambiance is rather classy and upscale, very dark but plenty of photo opp moments. Would recommend

    Second time at BLVD! And I left impressed! First, The space is gorgeous. Very moody and sexy. The staff is amazing from the hosts to the servers and everyone in between. My very first visit we had a formal dinner for a friend's birthday. This visit me and a girl friend sat at the upstairs bar and just chatted. For this visit we kept it light. I ordered a sidecar with Hennessy, the BLVD burger and an order of fries. My go to was closed and rumor had it the burger here was good. And GOOD it was. The two bartenders upstairs were amazing! Warm, kind, very knowledgeable about the menu. They were also fun to talk to. Back to the food. Burger was moist and the garlic aioli and b sauce paired very well with it. Fries were fresh cut and tasty. If I add bacon to the burger I'll prob be back monthly. Hehehe I'll def be back for a third visit!

    Tried the New Year's Eve three-course menu here and overall it was a pretty mid experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful, especially the first-floor interior. When we arrived to check in for our prepaid reservation, they had overbooked and we ended up waiting about 50 minutes to be seated, which was frustrating. While they offered us a refund, its new years and not like we can just walk into another restaurant. It just felt poorly planned and overcrowded. There was also condensation dripping onto our table throughout dinner, which was kinda gross. Our server was fine and as accommodating as he could be given the situation, but the food didn't really make up for the experience. The mashed potatoes were the standout, but the salmon was overly salty. Overall, the experience fell flat and didn't feel worth the $95 price tag.

    Sat at the enclosed patio bar for drinks and dessert. Bartenders were friendly and attentive - even willing to change the tv channel. The key lime tart was delicious, I highly recommend it. Loved my cocktail, too.

    Visited for a friends birthday dinner. Food & drinks were pretty good. I had salmon & creamed spinach. I also had the lavendar lemon drop which was pretty good. Our server Rob was amazing. He gave recommendations & everything that he rec'd was good especially the cocktail. They have us a champagne toast to celebrate the lady fo the hr & a pretty good chocolate cake slice. I am not a chocolate cake person but this was surprisingly good! Just a heads up, they have a photography rule on their site that was not disclosed when we made our reservation. We specifically chose this place for the aesthetic & to take some pictures during the evening. Had we know about this ahead of time we would not have picked this place. I understand how it could be disruptive if it is excessive however as a paying guest we should be allowed a moment for photos, within reason. So just make sure you read that before going.

    The bar menu in the afternoon is great. So many options but the mussels are my favorite.

    Bar menu is great. Good prices and ton of different food options. The espresso martini is also one of the best in the city.

    Had a double date with my parents and my husband here at BLVD Steakhouse. We had a 5:30 appt and got there on time. It was raining and the person at the desk offered to take our coats and umbrella. It was a bit chilly (to me) so I decided to keep my leather coat on. Inside was beautiful of course with the chandelier and the winding steps. The ambiance was grown n sexy. Our waiter was very charismatic and gave us anything our table needed. We ordered the Chicken, Ribeye steak, NY strip steak, and Salmon for the entrees. We had a side of milk rolls, mushrooms, mash potatoes, and asparagus. The whole table was able to share. Our food and drinks were good. I'll highlight a few items. We started off with the milk rolls. They were soft and dense. We paired them with the butter and the caramelized onion jelly and it turned out to be really good together. I recommend only trying one so you won't get full so fast. The salmon was delicious. Im a fan of crunchy skin so I was loving it! My mom and my husband enjoyed their steaks and thought that they were cooked perfectly. I also thought the mash potatoes were good and creamy. I was wondering what my experience here would be like since I read mixed reviews. Safe to say I had a great experience. I would recommend visiting here for a date or to celebrate an occasion.

    I'm truly disappointed! Had high hopes for this spot but they let me down! Made reservations for my lady's birthday for a Tuesday evening. The star I gave was for the valet. We arrived on time and were seated immediately which is always a plus. Ordered a few drinks while we looked over the menu. I had the anjeo smash and she had the lavender lemon drop. Drinks were good just a bit sweet. Waitress came by and gave us a run down of the menu but then told us we had to put ALL our food choices in at once (starters,mains,sides,etc) at once and would not be allowed to order more after that!! I've never heard of such things in my life! So I can continue to order drinks all night but if I want to maybe enjoy another appetizer or side I can't order again after I submit my initial order! WILD! Nevertheless we continued on. Lobster bites, bone marrow, crab cake were our starters. The bone Marrow was delicious! For our main we went with the 16oz waygu ribeye which wasn't tender as it should've been and lacked flavor. But what really disappear was the ambience! The seats were torn and damaged from over use and the carpet throughout the entire place especially the staircase was FILTY! BLVD IS OFF MY LIST FOR GOOD! Especially for the price of their items with these conditions!

    Happy hour

    I have been to the Blvd Steakhouse every year for the last 3 years for my anniversary. They never disappoint. My steak is always made exactly the way I like it and the lobster is amazing. The service is impeccable. I usually sit in the chandelier room it's so elegance with nice music in the background. They have outside seating also. I highly recommend!

    Crab Cake
    Kiaya S.

    Let's start with the super positives! Service was incredible truly! A very tall curly haired man assisted us tonight and he was very kind and attentive! The atmosphere of the restaurant is very elegant and upscale! Super luxurious!! You have to request to sit downstairs which I'm sure is a different vibe! Upstairs around the chandelier it's a lot of waiters running cleared plates the whole night, which you'd think was kind of hidden for a luxury spot. Next the food was okay at best, and no where near the quality you'd expect for the price range! I couldn't recommend this place to anyone in good conscience with the price tag! I recently also tried Bavettes, spent half the amount of money and had leftovers! If you want somewhere that's just flash and quintessential west loop this is your spot

    Hi Lyuba. Thank you for your question. Yes, there is street parking near the restaurant. We also offer valet services. We hope to see you soon!

    Do they have a custom birthday menu? Is it a good place for romantic birthday dinner?

    I went for a birthday and I recall it reading "happy birthday" at the top but no name. And YES!!!!! Verrrry romantic. I'd say more on the romantic side than for any groups!!! Sexy and intimate for sure! Enjoy!

    I have a foodie 13 year old. Appropriate to bring her?

    Sure! Your 13yo foodie may find something she likes and be happy to try it out. We thought that the restaurant was winning more on the "look and feel" than food/taste. Just our opinion.

    What's the average cost per person?

    Depends on drinks and entrees. You can get a good steak for $30 but if you're eating the Seafood Tower ($150) it's gonna be higher. Lets play it safe and say $100 per person. That's a nice evening out with meal and two drinks.

    Can one bring a birthday cake here?

    I'm not sure, they sell desserts so I doubt it BUT they are very accommodating...maybe they'll let you. Good luck.

    I have a reservation at this restaurant tonight for my sisters birthday. I was wondering what kind of attire to wear? Would white jeans or black jeans with a nice top and heels be acceptable? Or would you recommend wearing a skirt or dress?

    You would be fine in black or white jeans and heels. It's a gorgeous space that will take you back to old Hollywood glam so you wouldn't feel out of place in a dress. Whatever you wear, don't skip a trip to the bathrooms!!!!!

    Wow! The first time…read morewe came to the Chicago location of Hugo's Frog Bar, we had the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake and it was amazing - best I'd ever had. That was 12 years ago. Since then, I've had crab cakes all over the U.S. and Hugo's remained my gold standard. Tonight, 12 years later, we returned to Hugo's on Rush Street downtown Chicago. We had a 6 pm reservation on a Monday night. We were given the option to eat in the special Elevator Car, so we chose it. It was a bit tight getting into the bench seating but once in, we were quite comfortable and it was really quaint. I'm glad we chose it. Our server tonight was Stephanie O and she was amazing. So knowledgeable, so pleasant and very accommodating. We told Stephanie we planned to take it a bit slow, starting with cocktails. She took our cocktail orders and we took our time enjoying them, admiring our special Elevator Car and pondering dinner options. Of course, a Crab Cake was definitely happening! Stephanie checked in with us from time to time and when we were ready, we asked her to drop a Crab Cake order. Oh my - it was amazing, just like the last time! Just enough breadcrumbs in it to hold it together. Baked, then seared on both sides on the flat top and served with their house made remoulade. For us, this menu item and a service as great as it was from Stephanie and the rest of the team was enough of a reason to come to Hugo's. After we'd finished sharing the Crab Cake, Stephanie stopped by with the fresh fish options platter to explain each one to us, how it would be prepared and what it would be like. We nearly went for the Snapper but dropped back to our original thought of trying their Shrimp De Jonghe along with a dinner salad. So glad we did as the Shrimp De Jonghe was really tasty and just enough food. The salad and shrimp meal were both kitchen-split for us. Nice touch - thanks team! I have to add that we've had Shrimp De Jonghe somewhere else and we recall it as not being as good as Hugo's. I like how their breadcrumb on the shrimp here was less a breading and more of a dusting. I'd like to mention the rest of the staff we saw in action. The hostesses were quite pleasant, found our reservation and seated us with pleasure. The table team from the water guy, to him and others clearing completed items was excellent. The chef or one of the cooks brought out our split Shrimp De Jonghe. That was a nice touch.

I've had friends visit Maple & Ash and receive much better service, so maybe we caught them on an off night. But at this price point, I expected attentive service and a memorable birthday experience. The food was good, but not good enough to make up for the disappointing service.

    In Chicago for a few days and relying on Yelp to take us to new places…read more Nora was 2 blocks from our hotel. This place is all about service. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and escorted quickly to our table outside. Mirco was our server and we asked him for recommendations. He was so spot on it was amazing! We started with 1/2 dozed oysters and Tuna tartare. The tartare melted in your mouth and had a mild flavor. You could taste everything from the capers to the lemon in each bite. I'm not a huge oyster fan but my fiancé seemed to love them. Mirco recommended the Sardinian style ravioli filled with melt in your mouth short rib smothered in a rich mushroom and truffle sauce. Heaven!! She ordered the beet salad with salmon and gigantic grilled shrimp added. She just raved about it all. I appreciated great food but great service is what makes it a memorable experience. This checked all the boxes. 5 stars!

    the appetizers were better than the mains -- we tried the fried calamari, wagyu carpaccio, and…read moreburrata, which were all delicious. in terms of the mains, the steak and lamb shank were way better than the pasta dishes. the steak and lamb were pretty tender and flavorful! unfortunately, the short rib ravioli's pâté filling was grainy and felt dry. the oxtail rigatoni was pretty bland and not enough oxtail
