Fantastic experience! Delicious food and friendly staff!
Never disappoints! Good options on the menu for all in our party.
My fiancé and I celebrated the new year at Boulevard on Jan 1 to avoid the crowds, and it was just delightful. We ordered all 4 of the recommended specials as appetizers because each one sounded delicious. I ordered a turmeric sour and it was amazing. Service was attentive, but not overwhelming. Ambiance was as beautiful as I remember, with just a few guest sprinkled throughout. I highly recommend the restaurant as it’s not lost its charm for over 10 years (when I last visited)
The food is amazing worth what we paid for. Very different from ordinary restaurant as expected. Very delicious. The service is exceptional. 5 star
Amazing! My husband and I came for our anniversary dinner on January 1st. Everything was perfect! We will definately come back!
Came for NYE set menu and the food was disappointing, we both left the restaurant thinking that was not special and wasn’t worth it.
My partner and I went here for NYE as it's our custom that instead of buying each other Christmas gifts was go to a nice restaurant for NYE (what better gift than the gift of excellent food?). When Covid hit and all the restaurants were shutting down we were kind of afraid our tradition would die but thankfully a lot of great restaurants managed to remain open (even if alcohol cut off was 8pm with 24h notice - BAD government!). One of those places was the Boulevard! We made a reservation for 5pm and were seated once the doors opened up. Having a slight walking impediment the hostess was very gracious to ask whether I was okay with stairs or if I would prefer a table on the ground level, which was a service above and beyond what I have experienced in other places. Once seated our waitress introduced herself (Angela) was a complete joy the entire night! She was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing night - oh and she knows the oyster menu which I had her repeat at least half a dozen times (the oysters were delicious btw)! I dont think our water glasses went below 80% the entire night she was so attentive. The food was of course amazing, I really didn't expect any less though to be honest - what can I say I love my foie gras and the menu was bleeding it. Our night was definitely one of the best we have spent for our tradition and we definitely would love to go back. Thank you to the Boulevard staff for treating us so wonderfully on this night, I know it's been a hard time for a lot of restaurant and service staff so we appreciate you and all the work you did for us! The government has done a travesty upon hard working Canadians but after our experience I still see that we have the spirit of carrying on and fighting for our future. Thank you again Angela, & the staff at the Boulevard! Happy New Year & God Bless.
We enjoyed our experience at Boulevard. Food was very tasty. Service was excellent and our server was particularly enjoyable. Drinks were great too!
We were there for Happy Hour, a quick drink before dinner. We had local oysters and salmon pate. They were both fantastic and great value. The oysters were fresh, plump and juicy that are far superior than those at Fanny Bay Oysters we had a few nights ago. Our drinks were just what we wanted - good quality and tasted great.
Our server Yvette was friendly and accommodating. We had a great time and definitely will return soon. Next time we will try their seafood tower which is also one of their signature dishes.
Would like to see more local wines and know where my food is from on the menu. Also clam chowder should be called fish chowder since it is fish based and not clam based like a pure, good quality clam chowder should be. She show ingredients for allergic people.
I forgot our waiter’s name but he made the experience so much better! I love how he constantly checked up on my partner and I, refilling our glasses, checking if in if we need anything, etc. The food was amazing as well. We always wanted to try some wagyu beef and we chose Boulevard because of the amazing reviews on google. I am pleased that the reviews did not disappoint.
Best oysters, good value for wine. The corkage fee is way too high.
Great service, exceptional food. And still a good scene considering the limited seating capacity.
superb. It has become my go-to restaruant for any celebration.
Thanks for the really great Christmas Dinner. Best restaurant Turkey I have ever eaten
Never disappoints always excellent food and superb service
The best Christmas I could have without family. It felt good being there. Food and service were first rate.
Food was not bad, but unfortunately, was not worth a price. Felt like a usual lunch rather than Christmas lunch. Portions were very small: one scallop for appetizer:( For the main we asked medium rare steak, but got a rare one.
The food was delicious, the room was lovely and the service was very professional.
Classic. A tid bit old fashioned.
The food was great, the restaurant had good COVID-19 measures in place, and the service was prompt and courteous.
We went for a birthday dinner, and the restaurant prepared a handwritten card as well as a birthday dessert.
Would highly recommend.
Perfect Christmas Eve! The best food in Vancouver.
We always have a great time at Boulevard. The food and service was exceptional. It was a lovely Christmas Eve.
Great, amazing high quality food. Our server was very nice and personable. Ambience was on fleek. It was a lovely experience.
Outstanding Night.
Some of the best food I have ever eaten! My partner had the hangar steak, and I had the Sablefish.
Potato espuma was incredible, and my sablefish dish was so flavourful and fresh.
We also had honey mussels and beef carpaccio to start. Honey mussels were some of the best things I have ever had. Well-seasoned and perfectly cooked.
Definitely coming back!
My wife and I were celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary this past Saturday. BLVD was always on our list of local restaurants to try. Needless to say they did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived we received complimentary champagne. Our server Angela was awesome, she clearly knows how to make the customer feel important. Thank you Angela! The food was also incredible, we started with Honey Mussels which tasted incredible that also came with a beautiful presentation. BVLD's corn bread is delightful. Our mains were the Charcoal Grilled Sablefish and the Quail. Both dishes were incredible. Their wine list is extensive and of course top notch. Our experience at BVLD measured up to all the hype. Well done everyone! We will be back soon
Great dining experience during Covid. Our server was so respectful and provided wonderful service. The restaurant was busy but there was plenty of space for social distancing. My husband and I had a great time getting out for a small Holiday celebration. We love the food here and it didn’t disappoint.
Great service the food was excellent excellent COVID protocol
The decor for Christmas was super
Service was excellent and efficient. Staff very friendly and professional. Food was very delicious and innovative. Enjoyed thoroughly.
Nice experience. Very classy.
Fantastic service & food! Thank you for the birthday surprise. It’s those little touches that really make a place memorable and a joy to come back to for future celebrations.
Great food and service as usual. Very happy they have adopted masks over face shields since my last visit and review.
The main courses were not good. Flavor was tasteless - we had the lamb, halibut and steak. Our server had to asked several times for simple things - was not worth 500$ dinner during a pandemic.
The server was the best I’ve had in years, great guy.
Food and wine were amazing. Overall vibes were perfect.
Will be back for sure.
It was great time for dinner here. I will be here again for sure 👍.
Loved the vibe and atmosphere here. Food and cocktails were tasty. Our server was great too!
Stellar food and phenomenal service. We are major fans of Boulevard.
Great food!
Food was excellent, but service was at the level you would expect for this class of restaurant and ambiance was cold and uninviting.
