Great service made this visit enjoyable. Our server Carlos was attentive, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly. Service felt organized and professional from start to finish. The seafood selection on the menu felt limited. I expected more variety for a coastal restaurant. Appetizers were decent but did not stand out. The salmon carpaccio looked nice and tasted as expected, but the flavor was fairly simple. The frutti de mar had good flavor and the seafood was cooked properly. The sauce worked well and did not overpower the dish. The portion was disappointing for the price. The dish cost $52 dollars and only included three scallops and three shrimp. The rest of the seafood was mostly clams and mussels. I substituted angel hair instead of linguine which helped keep the dish lighter. The chicken Madeira looked great but the flavor was mild. With a stronger sauce or seasoning it could easily be an excellent dish. The kids meals were a win. The chicken tenders and pasta kept them happy and the portions were solid. Overall experience was good mainly because of the service and presentation. Some dishes need stronger flavor and the seafood portions could match the price better. Still a pleasant dinner spot on Marco Island. read more

Highly Recommended. Excellent food (and presentation). Welcoming and incredible staff. Wonderful ambience. Never rushed. My wife and I totally enjoy dining at The Boulevard while vacationing on Marco Island. We make sure to dine here each time we visit the island. The main menu offers many good choices, but also check out the daily specials (appetizers, main entrees, and desserts). Kudos to owners Bianca and Edgar (chef), our server Nellie, and the rest of the team... this trip we had a couple fabulous dinner/evenings including specials of soup (chicken noodle), entrees (bone-in stuffed veal chop and lasagna), and a spumoni special dessert (picture attached). Can't wait to return... read more

The Boulevard - Spumoni dessert! - Seafood Near Me - Marco Island, Florida

This restaurant is located inside a plaza with very limited parking. We drive a 3500 Ram dually. Most spaces are compact cars only. Hubby and I had a reservation for 5:45 and arrived at 5:30. We were seated right away. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I loved our little table tucked in the corner. Still decorated in Christmas! We ordered the uptown flatbread, chicken parmigiana, and the special braciola. Hubby thought it was beef but turns out it was pork. A little overdone but still good. The sauce is very good and the portions were huge. No dessert tonight but there were several great options to choose from. Overall, a great experience! read more

This restaurant is a great little place that's convenient to a lot of areas in Marco. Nicely decorated and the tables are spread out nicely so it's very nice to carry on a conversation. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We were able to change tables without any problem. It's not a large place so be sure to make a reservation. Also leave some time to find a parking space because it is a little crowded. So on to the food! Delicious!! Nice wine list and the wine special was a real treat. I also had specials for dinner too. I had the snapper piccata which was delicious and my wife had the Eggplant Rollatini. Nicely cooked and presented. I was even able to substitute a side of spaghetti instead of mashed potatoes. I would definitely go back. read more

We chose this place for our anniversary dinner since the day was dark and gloomy (rainy) for waterfront dining. So glad we did. We were greeted with care and felt right at home with a warm reception from host. The food and wine were also great and our server recommended some great selections. There was a steady stream of locals and we were glad to be a part of it. read more

I went to The Boulevard for my first time last night and it was truly a wonderful experience. We ordered wine for the table and for my meal, I ordered the Linguini Marinara with meatballs on the side as I am vegetarian. The pasta was cooked perfectly and it was very tasty. My fiancé said he enjoyed the meatballs as well. Although I really enjoyed my meal, I want to call out that my service was what really took the cake for me. Our waitress, Nell, was one of the best I've ever experienced - she was so welcoming, out of this world kind, and willing to do whatever she could to give us a good experience. Several time throughout our meal when we asked about modifications, she said "absolutely - anything for you" which wasn't at all necessary but absolutely appreciated. Nell took our meal from great to exceptional and I truly can't say enough good things. Thank you for an awesome first experience and we cannot wait to come back! Special thanks to Nell! read more

Great night at the Boulevard where we had a lovely Italian dinner while on vacation on Marco Island. Our amazing waitress, Gina thoroughly entertained us with her knowledge of the food and area since she lived around the corner and had been working here for the past 8 years. She advised us on the best entrees to order on the menu. To start, a warmed crusty bread basket was brought to the table gratis and we had the calamari appetizer. All the entrées did come with a salad or soup. I enjoyed the pasta e fagioli and the sausage and peppers entree with enough leftover for another meal. Paul had the lamb chops and our friends had the barramundi entrees. We did indulge in the NY style cheesecake and decaf cappuccino. Everything was delicious and fairly priced. This is a traditional white tablecloth venue - just lovely and classic. We were there at 7:30 and it was very quiet. It was surprising but the seasonal crowd is expected to arrive within the next month or so. I am sure this place will be hopping then. We are so happy we chose The Boulevard for one of dinners. We will be sure to return on our next vacay here. read more

I'm very grateful for Boulevard. On vacation with family, we needed a place that had a kids menu but also high quality food that parents enjoy. When I called Boulevard the lady who answered was so kind and ran through the entire kids menu with me. She also offered to make me a reservation right then. My kid loved the Mac and cheese. It's not Kraft like so many other restaurants do. It was homemade and delicious. We also enjoyed the coconut shrimp, eggplant rolotini and chicken parm. Our waiter was wonderful! The service is top notch and the atmosphere was very calming and lovely. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful dinner! Nice little place. Carlos was very friendly and attentive even though the place was packed. My only complaint was the prices. My special grouper florentine was $58. Don't ask about the stuffed veal chop. They are also only beef and wine. Given that limitation they ought to have a better selection. But overall I would return. read more

What a wonderful way to spend time dining. The food is DELICIOUS and the service EXCELLENT! We were greeted warmly as we entered the restaurant. The light delicious aromas coming from the kitchen reminded me of walking into Grandma's house. (smile) Good memories! Each time we have dined at The Boulevard, there are "specials" for appetizers, entrees and desserts. We usually choose from the "specials" but there is a menu as well. Our server's name was Nell. She is kind, caring and knowledgeable (and funny). The entire team gives excellent service including Jenny keeping our water glasses full, taking away empty dishes and others who brought out the food. Thank you to owners Bianca and Edgar and the entire staff for a wonderful dining experience. We look forward to coming back. read more

I canNOT recommend The Boulevard more!!! Not only will the food be amazing (because it is EVERY TIME) the service is impeccable. They treat you like family whenever you come in. It's the perfect location for a special occasion as well. I've had multiple holiday parties and birthday celebrations and they always go out of their way to make it special. I love this place and you will too!!! read more

This is one of the better restaurants on Marco Island. Located in a strip mall on Collier Blvd it is easy to overlook. The dining room is pleasant with a good number of outdoor tables as well (adjacent to the parking lot however). We had a very enjoyable meal with great food and service. The menu is diverse and we were further surprised with how many additional appetizer and entree specials offered in addition to the menu. We thought the portions were large and fairly priced, especially when compared to some other venues on the island. The menu leans strongly Italian with some classic dishes as well as a few with a twist. We completely enjoyed an old school veal parmesan over pasta, but there are modern creative dishes as well. The only negatives here for us is that they don't have a full liquor license and only serve beer and wine. Additionally, the parking lot is not big enough for the restaurant. It is tight, with many "compact" only spots and there are cars everywhere trying to figure out where to park and trying to back up etc... Do yourself a favor and park somewhere else, anywhere else and walk over. Don't use their parking lot! Plenty of talent in the kitchen and a very hard working and friendly staff. Give this restaurant a shot! read more

Bianca and her husband are some of the nicest people we have met. We met Bianca a few days earlier and came to The Boulevard based on the positive reviews, and to our surprise Bianca greeted us (explaining that her and her husband owned the restaurant). I am amazed that she remembered us given how many people are on the island during spring break. As for the restaurant itself - very cute interior. A perfect mix of upscale / nicer ambiance without being stuffy. White table cloths and the staff wore black, but I was in a polo, shorts and flip flops and did not feel out of place. The staff were AMAZING. We brought out 15-month old son to dinner (for first seating right when they opened at 5PM). Our server Nellie was incredible - both very attentive to us but also wonderful with our son. She would stop by the table and smile at him, make faces or overall just entertain him. The rest of the staff did the same - they indulged in keeping our 15-month old entertained. I am incredibly grateful for how comfortable they made our family feel despite having a 15-month old with us. Would HIGHLY recommend this place just for the people who work there. Would go back in a heartbeat. Food itself was delicious. Very reasonably priced (especially for a resort / beach town). I had the steak medium rare (cooked perfectly) and my wife had the shrimp pasta. They even have a kids meal (although our little guy loved the rolls the most out of everything - not the restaurants fault; he just is picky). read more

A perfect place for a very fine dinner on Marco Island !! The staff is simply wonderful all the servers had smiles and seemed very concerned you were enjoying your time at the Boulevard there were four of us and we started with the stuffed mushrooms and carpaccio appetizers I had their lentil soup and my partner had the house salad both of which came as a choice with our entrees The carpaccio was divine super tender slices of filet with just the right amount of olive oil, capers ,arugula and Parmesan the mushrooms were stuffed with a sausage mixture and were also a hit. The lentil soup had a great taste and came to the table piping hot like a good soup should My chicken Francaise was excellent and we also had a roast pork entree that was tender and tasty along with a pasta dish and another chicken dish that was an evening special. A wine list that offers many fine choices was also a treat All four of us were extremely happy with our entire evening the cozy yet elegant atmosphere makes the boulevard a spot we will be hitting every time we are in Marco !!! read more

Absolutely delicious!!! My husband is so picky, he's the one that actually told me you need to write a review.... It was that good! The food was so fresh and full of flavour, we had the frutti di Mara and the flat bread just amazing! House salad came with the meal and super fresh.

Very average italian place, the seafood pasta was cooked with frozen/ non fresh seafood. we did not experience the authentic good Italian dining experience unfortunately. Won't go back. read more

Wow! Lived up to MORE than the hype. Sophisticated but not stuffy. A modern take on Italian cuisine - interesting and delicious chef inspired dishes. Great beer and wine selection. Appetizers fresh and fine. Have we mentioned Nellie? The kindest and most caring server during our displacement from Hurricane Milton. She's a gem! Do not miss an opportunity to dine here. Fill your belly and soothe your soul. Thank you, Boulevard! read more

Food was good. Chicken parmigiana seems like it's not homemade. That was disappointing. Like most Marco dining experiences, underwhelmed for the price. read more

The food and service was great. Our main course and appy was fantastic. Had the pork tenderloin with pesto was amazing.

Second year we have made a visit to this wonderful place. Small patio in front was great for our group, but not much of a view. The staff is incredible. They show genuine appreciation for customers and are incredibly welcoming. Service is very attentive, even with a large group. Chef even came out to thank us. Food was awesome. read more

We always have a wonderful experience at the Boulevard. Love the family and the food! Great selection and service!

AMAZING! Great little restaurant tucked away in a shopping center off Collier Boulevard (across from a Publix). Our server, Jorge, was attentive, and kept us up-to-date on when our food was coming out. The food took a little longer than usual, but it was certainly worth the wait. Each of the six of us had a different meal and everybody said how incredible their meal tasted. I had the eggplant, and loved it. My only comment is that the bus girl took my meal to box it and the pasta wasn't included in my leftover box. There wasn't much left, but I was still a little disappointed. Would have preferred the option to box it myself. Otherwise, a great experience, and we will definitely return!! read more

By far one of my favorite restaurants EVER! We travel a lot. This place is a hidden Gem! Family owned. The staff is amazing! They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Food was amazing! Upscale casual, but fine dining feel. White table cloth. Very nice decor. Owners there and present. They seem to know almost everyone by name that walks in the door. We showed up with three kids. Not many kids there but everyone went out of their way to talk and engage with them. They gave them a coloring book. We've seen them around town and at our hotel for the rest of vacation and they recognize us and still go out of their way to say hi and bring special treats for the kids. I LOVE this place. If they weren't booked out I would go all week. Go, you won't be disappointed. read more

Another score on Marco. Continental cuisine in a hidden gem in a strip mall. Excellent service, knowledgeable waiter, excellent busboys. They do need to do the crumb sweep though. Another great recommendation on wine, I always ask for that recommendation and so far it has never disappointed. This time it was a Cabernet, Justine Winery, from Paso Robles, always great for full bodied reds. Had lamb chops again and it was six chops cooked perfectly. The menu is huge and they always have at least two entrées specials. Definitely will return. read more

Excellent service and great food. Hidden gem on Marco Island. One of our favorite restaurants. We live year round on the island.

Great place! On our first time there, the staff greeted us like family. Service was excellent. The menu was extensive and it was difficult to choose. The Steak Flatbread appetizer was excellent. Eggplant Rollatini and Chicken Carbonara were both excellent and portions were large. A great experience and we will definitely go back. read more
