Quite likely one of the best meals we have ever had in terms of taste. Every single thing we ate produced a "wow". Extensive wine list as well as various other things like vodka, scotch, whiskey, etc. Would definitely recommend and go back.

I came at 3PM and wanted a meal but was told there was only a happy-hour menu. Had the following: Fish tacos, meat tacos, meatballs, chowder, and fried chicken wings. The chowder and both tacos were fantastic, but the meatballs were plain and not very flavourful. The chicken was good but nothing to write home about. Will return to review their dinner menu.

It’s was very full and noisy but the hostess found us the quietest table possible. Our waitress was good but had to ask for more water more than once and service was a little slow between courses. The place was packed so the slower service was understandable. All of our food and drinks were great. I would definitely return.

First I had to say the food was outstanding, along with the service. Chef is clearly very skilled and has combined some flavours in new and interesting ways. The quality of the food is matched by the knowledgeable and friendly-yet-professional staff. The only issue is that we were seated in a side room with hard floor and wood panels and it was very noisy. We (party of two) were seated next to a party of 8 and they got pretty loud as the evening went on and it did grate a little. Not sure about the main dining room but if you want to come here for a cosy or romantic evening you may need to ask for a quieter spot.

Every dish was spot on, And cooked perfectly with impressive balance of flavors. The steak with fois gras was amazing, and the lamb dish was so tender. The service was excellent, and not too pretentious. They also got creative with making some new mezcal cocktails that were delicious. The dessert chef is known as one of the top pastry chefs in the country, and it was evident when we had our desserts. The best fine dining experience we’ve had in a long time!

All food was outstanding - Clam chowder had a strong warm seafood flavor with delightful clams. Perfect for a cold night! Followed this with the house made pasta Cassrecce with added large prawns. The pasta was beautifully cooked with clear pesto, bursts and Parmesan flavors- along with the crunchy prawns. Supplemented by a bottle of Chablis rounded off a fab meal.

Everything was good but not outstanding as the menu prices suggest. For a high end restaurant I would expect table cloth, a knife as a must and not something that is provided by request only, and some good bread.

Excellent food & service. At first glance, the portions looked small, but we were surprised we got so full as to have no room for dessert. The server did managed to convince us to split a dessert and it was amazing.

We went there for Easter Brunch. There was a set menu and one item can be chosen from the Starters, Main, and Dessert. The starters that we ordered were amazing (glad we ordered them and would order them again), the mains were "quaffable, but far from transcendent" (glad we ordered them, but would not order them again), and the desserts were exquisite (would definitely order them again). The presentation of each dish was spectacular. The host took our suitcases and kept them for us in a closet, and our server was extremely kind and knowledgeable. The ambience catered to couples and families enjoying a Sunday brunch. Would definitely dine at Boulevard again.

Just a beautiful meal. Portions weren’t too small like mentioned by other reviewers. Loved it will be back. Enjoyed the nice looking well dressed people. Didn’t enjoy the people who feel they can dine there in sweatpants and back packs and leopard tights. Make a bit more effort people. Was kind of surprised by that.
