I went this past weekend and when the meal was finished, my wonderful server, Alicia, asked us to leave a good review online and to mention her in that review. Now, I normally don't do online reviews ever. But the overall experience was so wonderful that I decided to finally give in and leave a review. The small, yet comfortable vibe of the overall restaurant made it very enjoyable to sit down and eat. I felt welcomed in a sort of way, and I was very glad that we were taken in on account of the fact I honestly wasn't wearing that fancy of clothes because I did not know this was a fancy restaurant. I digress, the food itself was impeccable. I personally ordered the prime rib with a loaded baked potato and it was simply superb. The steak was cooked perfectly, the potato had a fantastic mix of toppings, and the two paired together were delightful. I don't get full often, I normally just become not hungry, but this restaurant changed that for me. I ate, and enjoyed, so much food that I couldn't accept another bite, or so I thought. After we had finished our plates, our lovely server, Alicia, asked if we would a desert. I of course asked our lovely server, Alicia, what these deserts could possibly be. In response, our lovely server, Alicia, described each desert in detail. Alicia didn't just read a list, she knew these dishes by heart. It felt like my server was the chef themself and they knew everything there is to know about the boulevard menu. Her exquisite expertise helped me pick the brownie with ice cream. This was probably the best decision I could have ever made. The warm, fudgy brownie paired with the cold, sweet ice cream almost made me cry because it WAS that good. At the end of the meal, Alicia let us enjoy two cups of coffee while taking our plates away. Boulevard truly was the best culinary experience I have had in a while. 10/10 absolutely recommend to anyone on the street. I am VERY much looking forward to coming back soon. read more

Had a large party, and the food and service were fantastic...our waitress BrandY was the best!!!

Ordered a Ribeye that was super thin...was told by the manager that they cut their own meat...I have eaten at all the major steak restaurants in the city but I was taken aback by the presentation of this meal!!! read more

The food mediocre . The service blah . We waited over an hour for food . Listened to the kitchen arguing the whole time, drinks took forever and arrived before food. This place was no better than Chili's , shoot chilis may be better because you get to food on time . When met with complaints they did nothing to accommodate. I have worked in f&b for 10 years. I have never been met with the nonchalant es in customer that I was met with tonight. Save your money and your time . read more

We went here for lunch yesterday and I was so excited because I love the spinach dip & crab cakes. We ordered the spinach dip which comes with chips, salsa and sour cream which is very good. But the waitress that brought it out to us put it down and some of the chips slid off of our plate and she hurried up and picked the chips up with her hands and put them back on our plate. My husband and I were shocked. They do whip off the tables but with the same towel for every table. We saw a small bucket with the towel in it and watched them. So they don't spray the tables down after each use just whips it off with the same towel. Our food was very good. I gave it a 2 star because of what happened. read more

We sat at the bar on Father's Day and had horrible service. I had the wood grilled redfish. It was the driest fish I've ever had. It barely had any lump crab meat and sauce especially when you pay $38 for the dish. I will definitely not be returning to this restaurant. Management is seriously lacking as well. read more

My mama lives in Harahan and we like to come here when we are in town. The food has always been very good. I'm particularly fond of the shrimp remoulade salad. My daughter loves the burgers. We've had Mario as a server twice now and he's been wonderful both times. He's very friendly, efficient, and quite good at anticipating the needs of his patrons (& he is pretty awesome about remembering correctly everyone's order without writing it down). I'm sure we'll continue coming here! read more

I was told by several uber drivers to try this place out as it has happy hour daily. I went with a large group. The appetizers were delicious. I ordered the salmon burger for my entree. It tasted funny but I thought it was their special sauce. Later I found out it wasn't just the sauce as I was so sick the whole night. read more

Boulevard American Bistro - Sound - American Near Me - Elmwood, Louisiana

Every now and then, my GF and I want to do something a little nicer than "whatever", but we still want to keep it easy and casual when we want food and drinks. So we go to The Boulevard in Elmwood and sit at the bar. Let me make the point that we've never eaten in the dining room. Sometimes, we want to sit at a nice bar and eat our dinner. We interact with the staff, asking questions about the different bottles they have behind their very well stocked bar, and just relaxing. We've been to the Boulevard at least 4 or 6 times now, and it's a really nice experience each time. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive, the cocktails are always great, and we always love their food. Specifically - they make a great Old Fashioned (for me) and a great dirty martini (for her). They have a decent beer selection, but we come here for the cocktails (and food). We've tried a variety of their food, and it's all been good. They have a great oyster appetizer, and their crab cakes and their burgers stand out in my memory. I will say that every time I've gotten a burger, I've had to wave the bartender down to get condiments. Shouldn't have to, but I'm not taking away a star for that. Good cocktails, good food, good service. That's what we get! read more

Had a great birthday lunch for my mom. I had the Hawaiian Ribeye which was great and everyone else had the crab cake pasta which was also great. Our server Rachel was so sweet and helpful. read more

Love restaurant, but I do not like this location. It's always an issue when ordering Togo. Pre called in order only to show up and my order isn't complete. First, I was missing the salmon on the large house salad, the entire kids chicken strip meal wasn't rung up with the order, the walnut brownie and ice cream was missing and then I requested that my crab cake be on the side for the shrimp and crab cake pasta and they did the complete opposite. The inconsistency when ordering from this location is ridiculous. Not one hostess took accountability for the order being input incorrectly, furthermore the manager was not apologetic. When I asked for a refund I was told that he would have to keep the receipt and send it over in the am to the higher ups in order to process my request. The manager then proceeds to ask the hostess if they got all the food back. The audacity for you to ask that when you all didn't give me all that I ordered in the first place is insane and insulting. There was no sorry, no concern or how can we fix the situation. Zero accountability whatsoever from anyone on that staff. I'll wait 3 days to see if they process my refund and if they haven't I'll be back up there on Friday. read more

Have not been here in a few years but decided to meet some friends here for happy hour. The place still looks nice and clean. Our server was very friendly and patient while we ordered. I had a delicious lemon drop martini which is mostly my go to drink and it did not disappoint. Was delicious and happy hour price . I was in heaven. But since it still was a week night I just had one . We had the boulevard oysters which were perfectly cooked, and the spinach dip. Both delicious. I had the salmon burger I thought it would've been fried in a batter but it wasn't. It was just okay on the bun. But the next day with my leftover salmon I made it into a ceaser salad wrap and it was delicious. You May have to add a salmon ceaser wrap to your menu. My friend had the crab cake and said it was delicious. Overall the others liked what they ordered. I'm sure we will be returning for happy hour. read more

excellent food! Thoroughly enjoyed my steak! The food just as good as HoustonS!! check it out. You gonna like it. read more

Everything about Boulevard American Bistro reminds me of Houston's except the food isn't quite a good for many dishes. The service also isn't quite as good as Houston's. The ambiance is nearly exactly the same as Houston's as is the menu. They did serve my dessert very differently than I have ever gotten it served to me even though it was the exact same dish I've eaten at Houston's MANY times. I do have to say that overall I still find the food better at Houston's than I found the nearly exact same dishes prepared by Boulevard American Bistro. If they are going to copy Houston's I wish they could at least get it equally as good as Houston's. Overall I really think they could do a lot better since they just seem to be copying things Houston's has long done well read more

DO NOT recommend. My family came in yesterday with a big party, like 16+ people. Went home that night and at least 10 of us had bad stomach issues the whole night into the next day. Literally unable to leave the bathroom. I've seen another review on here of someone getting sick, it seems to be a BOH problem. Houston's on St Charles has the exact same dishes at a similar price but WAY better quality and imo more attentive service. And I've never gotten sick from their food. The food here is not worth the risk of getting sick read more

will love to stop by next time am in town beacause l really love the taste and the services

Food and atmosphere is always great. Love the bar bites. Love love love the happy hour on Thursday

The service was amazing from the moment we walked in until the time we left. Rachel was our server and was attentive and gave great recommendations. I would recommend the Boulevard to anyone read more

We had a birthday celebration on the 1-23-26 for my sister. We had appetizers, drinks and of course delicious food. The sizes were abundant and our server Racheal D. was so attentive even before we told her it was my sisters bd. She then brought out a surprise complimentary dessert! Racheal D was an excellent server and very sweet and always had a smile on her face... hopefully we will get her again when we return. Thanks, Rachael for an excellent time. read more

My girlfriend's and l sit at the bar. Great company , friendly service, until shift change. We then go Miranda! Who acted like we were an inconvenience. Not looking for a friend, but common courtesy was lacking. Certainly, won't sit at the bar again if she's there. We frequently go in for Happy Hour and it always nice. Not enjoyable today at all. Food was good and the ambiance is always nice. Thanks, CPY read more

The Boulevard ( American Bistro ) One little bad thing is that you can see half of people's faces who sit in the table next to you which I don't like but yeah Starter; spinach and artichoke dip Drink; coke They have shiny utensils Chips are warm. 'Required more salt Salsa is perfect The bathroom is fancy and the napkins were cented smells like lemons. But the bathroom smelt bad ( but it's a bathroom so yeah I won't judge against that ) They don't take your drinks and refill them they bring new drinks! That's good The main dishes look good The salad has perfect ranch amount It smells great in the place read more

Boulevard American Bistro: A Happy Hour Hit--But One Dish Needs to be Terminated A few nights ago, I met up with a couple of lovely ladies at Boulevard American Bistro in Elmwood for happy hour. Having never been before, I wasn't sure what to expect--but I walked in skeptical and wined up pleasantly surprised. The bar area struck that perfect balance: cozy and casual, with just enough polish to feel a little elevated, but not so fancy that I felt underdressed in leggings and t-shirt. Speaking of happy, the wine prices certainly set the tone--just $7 for a generous 9-ounce pour from 3 PM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday. I've paid triple that for a sad 5-ounce pour at places with far less ambiance, so this already felt like a win. Now, let's talk service. If there were an award for the friendliest staff, this place would be in the running. Attentive, speedy, and downright delightful--the kind of service that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. On to the food. We went full happy-hour mode, ordering a mix of small bites with the kind of price reductions that make sharing feel like a smart financial decision rather than a negotiation over the last bite. Spinach & Artichoke Dip - Pro tip: Spring for the full-size portion. It's only six bucks more, and you get so much more of that creamy, cheesy goodness. We're dip people, so this was a no-brainer. Fried Oysters - A trio of crispy, well-seasoned oysters perched atop coleslaw. Nothing groundbreaking, but solidly tasty. Ahi Lettuce Wraps - And here's where things went south. I took one bite and immediately considered quoting Arnold Schwarzenegger: "It's not a tuna!" Because honestly, it could have been anything. The texture? Rubbery. The flavor? Completely obliterated by an overwhelming soy sauce bath. It tasted like it had marinated in a bag for an undisclosed number of hours, and at that point, it had lost its identity. I ate it (because hunger makes you do things), but I wouldn't order it again unless they completely rework the dish... or reclassify it as something else entirely. Final verdict? Boulevard American Bistro is an absolute happy hour win--affordable wine, great service, and mostly solid bites. Just skip the so-called tuna and stick to the crowd-pleasers. I'll be back, glass in hand, ready for another round. read more

Maybe it was an off day, but this was pretty disappointing. Came for lunch and were greeted semi-promptly after being seated. Our drink order was taken, one cocktail and a soda, and we also ordered the spinach dip ($16). An extended period of time went by before receiving water, and the cocktail took about 10 minutes. We were seated adjacent to the bar area and observed 2 bartenders. A different server came to take our entrée order. We split a Cuban sandwich which is served with coleslaw ($16) and added a side order of fries ($9). Several minutes after the cocktail arrived, the second server asked if we needed ketchup or any horseradish cream for the fries. We said yes please, horseradish cream sounds awesome! A few minutes later, she dropped off a plate with a ramekin of ketchup only. It seemed apparent that somehow between the first and second server, we were not going to be receiving the spinach dip. When I was able to flag down the server, I mentioned the spinach dip and she said she would check on it. As our Cuban arrived, a manager of some sort stopped by our table and apologized. We opted just to remove it from the bill since we had just been served the sandwich. Sandwich was okay, a bit bland, and strangely, mustard was only on part of the sandwich. Our server did not come to check on us so we couldn't ask for a side of mustard. We improvised and used the hot sauce at the table. The check was brought in a reasonable time, and the spinach dip was indeed removed from the bill. TBH it looked like a small portion for the price so perhaps it wasn't all bad that we never received it. Not sure if I would return, but other food coming out of the kitchen looked pretty good, particularly the deviled eggs and loaded baked potatoes. read more

Food was great all around. Salads fresh and crisp. Meats cooked through and seasoned well. Kayla was indeed my kind of server: attentive, never had to look for her, kind, and cordial, professional. Place was clean and all aspects of personnel were great. Food pricey but you don't mind when it tastes great. Certainly not the rip-off prices such as some places. The margarita might be the best in the city and it is my go-to when I go there. I don't know what they do, but they do it well and I totally recommend it. My kind of place for an evening. They have standards and they always meet them. Never have to worry if the evening will turn bad. read more

Stopped at the boulevard for lunch today and ordered the French dip sandwich. This French dip sandwich had great flavor. It was super delicious and I highly recommend it. The service was excellent. It took about 25 minutes to get our food but I understand it takes a while when you're eating quality food. Our server was super nice and efficient. Inside was super nice and had that really high class field. read more
