Dinner at the BLVD [Minnetonka MN]
Another great restaurant chosen by our local co-workers here in Minnetonka MN. We were a party of 9. We started off with a couple of appetizers: the Asian Sticky Ribs and Sweet Potato Fries. Our server dropped off some warm, moist hand towels on a small tray to cleanse our hands prior to eating. This is actually a Japanese hospitality tradition and I do like this nice etiquette.
We proceeded to order our entrées:
Margherita flatbread
Grilled Salmon
Blackened Pork Chop
Chilean Sea Bass (ordered by 3 in our party)
Jambalaya
1/2 Rotisserie Chicken
Lobster Risotto
I had the latter, the Lobster Risotto. It was a generous serving with many pieces of lobster meat. This seafood dish was impressive... very tasty, rich and creamy risotto that got me full with just half the serving. I couldn't finish... by the end of our meal, though, it was gone. Shared. I also had a little piece of the woodfire grilled Blackened Pork Chop, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Time for dessert! Yes, please...
Blueberry Limoncello Cheesecake
White Chocolate Bread Pudding
Peach Cobbler
Blackberry Ice cream
Creme Brûlée
Our party of 9 tried a bite of each dessert as they went around. They were all very yummy but the favorite seemed to be the White Chocolate Bread Pudding. As for me, I don't discriminate when it comes to desserts. I love my sweets.
The restaurant did get full during the course of our meal and, of course, the noise level went up which made conversations difficult and hard to hear. We were seated at a round table and we were yelling just to be able to hear each other. LoL
BLVD Kitchen & Bar is an upscale bistro restaurant that is located in the WestRidge Market (next to Michael's and Staples). They have a nice outdoor patio seating but that evening was just too humid to sit out in Minnetonka. This restaurant was conveniently less than a mile drive from our office building on Wayzata Blvd.
