    mother's day brunch buffet
    Tarun B.

    We came here for a friend's baby shower. Everything was lovely and the food was amazing. We had the whole second floor set up for the event. There was a bar serving brunch cocktail drinks such as mimosas, bellinis, and bloody mary's. The food was buffet style with several options available. I was able to try several different dishes at once. They served crepes, pancakes, eggs, and grilled chicken. My favorite was the omelet station. We were able to pick our own additions and the staff made it there for us. The staff was wonderful and went above and beyond to help out.

    I'm so torn because one of the dishes we had was stellar (mushroom agnolotti) , but the entrees fell flat. This is the second time I have been here where the entrees did not impress. My mom couldn't eat the salmon because we asked for medium and it was rare. We asked for medium on the duck for my kid (kids don't always like rare duck) and we got totally rare. It had to be recooked and the birthday girl sat there waiting for her food. The confit ball on the plate was unpalatable. The citrus slices sitting in that heavy sauce were not cohesive. The sauces were so heavy handed on the chicken and the duck dish, and the half chicken was dry. Worst was the service, we came early and there were only 2 tables and the single waiter there was so inattentive I had to get up a few times to find him. We also made a reservation and mentioned it's a birthday and nobody said happy birthday... which.. ya know. Pay attention. Yay for the mushroom dish and .. nay for just about everything else. The risotto was alright and the mashed potatoes too, I'll give them that. Maybe they're better with sides. But the service was really poor for only having two tables to wait on. After the other table left the waiter was just hanging by the hostess stand and we sat pretty far away so we had to get up and ask for the check, get up to find him again and give him the bill.. not good.

    I've dined at this restaurant several times and have always had a good experience so I decided to book for Mother's Day brunch. Our waiter was absolutely awful! He never came in to check on us. Our food took forever to come out. I noticed that people who were seated after us had received their shareable appetizers meanwhile we waited an eternity for our food. I had to ask him three times where my drink was which was super annoying. He had to be chased down for coffee refills. When I was ready for the bill he was nowhere to be found. I had to ask two different people for the bill since he was MIA. Another waiter finally assisted me. The food itself was good but unfortunately the service was garbage. With brunch costing $45 per person the service we received was very disappointing.

    I cannot believe I am just now trying this place. Where do I start? When I arrived I parked on the street nearby and walked in. I was greeted by the host and she walked me to the table. Our server was David and he was awesome. He knew his stuff and he was so attentive. The restaurant was cutely decorated and I liked the ambiance. The restaurant had brunch specials where you can order 4 sharables and one entrée for $34 and $2 mimosas, belinis or bloody mary. You cannot beat that deal so we got the vegetables, fruit, latke's & house cured salmon, and spiced sugar beignets. All were so good. I really loved the beignets. For our entrées I ordered the penne and day boat shrimp and my friend ordered the steak and cheese eggs. I loved my meal, it was seasoned perfectly. My friend loved her steak and eggs. The mimosas were so good as well and the waiter kept them coming. The bill came to $85 which was a steal. I will definitely be back!

    Literally. Everything that we had was good. Appetizer was the octopus and shrimp salad. I had the duck breast my husband had a seafood dish that I can't remember right now. The dessert was delectable. As a matter of fact, I'm going to make a reservation for this weekend. I think we need to pay another visit to this restaurant.

    As you can see from my last review I was here pre-COVID for a family lunch. I returned here post-COVID to enjoy another nice family of six for lunch. Masks were not worn or required here. I started with my Tanteo jalapeno margarita. I also enjoyed my New England style lobster roll with a butter toasted roll, celery, fine herb, lemon caper mayonnaise with asparagus for $24. I substituted their old bay spanish chips for the asparagus. Service here was great. We all enjoyed our lunches as usual and agreed we will likely return here for another family lunch.

    I came to Boulevard Five 72 for a meeting with a pre-set dinner. They rented out the upstairs space, which was nice and spacious. I ordered the salmon and my dad had the chicken. The salmon was really flavorful and perfectly cooked. The half chicken was a huge portion - I think it could have used a bit more of a sauce, but it was also cooked really nicely. The desserts were also delicious! I would come back.

Fortunately, I can say not much has changed. * Inviting atmosphere, a nice tone for a "casual formal" meal - low lit but not overly elegant. * Prompt and friendly service, refilling water whenever requested. * I asked, they delivered: refills on bread and garlic bulbs if you wish. Because if you're at the Garlic Rose and you're not devouring clove after melty clove of roasted garlic, why are you even here? Of course, I only ordered food with garlic. The garlic chowder, hot and full of flavor. Garlic pasta: beef short rib ravioli. Splurge a little. What a flavorful filling. Back in the day, we'd get a bunch of garlic pastas and entrees to pass around. The only caveat: no garlic desserts. I've had garlic ice cream before at garlic festivals. It can be done, Rose. Make it so. The verdict: Make sure to invite the whole family, otherwise you'll be sitting alone for a few days.

It's a breath of fresh air to find places using real ingredients with a distinct flavor & charging under $10 each. Since I was starving I picked up 3 sandwiches: 1.) Brie - While quite good this was my least favorite. The brie & apple slices didn't pop out as much I wanted, but it still was satisfying. 2.) Stone Pony - Whoah! This is praise worthy. Roast beef was tasty & the caramelized onions & aioli horseradish are great additions to the flavor. 3.) Big Tex - This was my absolute favorite. If you have a hunger that needs to be quenched this is the sandwich to do it. The mac n cheese, bacon, & roast beef were on point. It mentions there is BBQ sauce, but I don't recall tasting it. Either way it wasn't overpowering as I'm not the biggest BBQ sauce fan & the sandwich stands on it's own with or without it Their sandwiches are perfectly portioned so you're not getting too little or too much.

Weirdly snug parking lot (especially harrowing when you had to back out into a busy street), and walking inside everything felt oddly tight and squished together. We were now a bit unsure on where we'd decided to stop since the diners closer to homebase are much bigger (and inviting) all around. But... we received our menus (too long/large for our table!) and when we saw the hundreds of choices available - our skepticism disappeared. I went with a sloppy joe (Jersey version) and it was massive. And delicious. One kid went with a grilled cheese, the other with a chicken sandwich. We eventually had to tap out and request a doggy-bag. Good eats. Good pricing. Great waitress (there's no one quite like a Jersey diner waitress that's equally kind and cool and gruff and "Kiss my grits!" - right?). If I found myself down this way again I'd definitely swing back in for 'Round Two'.
