Elegant steakhouse featuring prime cuts, seafood, and bars
"Planning a birthday dinner when you’re married with kids and your in-laws are in town usually means you’re just ordering pizza and staying home. BLVD Steak is proof better options exist. This upscale spot in Sherman Oaks isn’t doing anything wildly different than other classic steakhouses in LA, but it’s executing the formula better. Plushy green banquettes and black paneled walls give the dining room a sleek, members-only feel without being intimidating. Martinis arrive icy and smooth (with a shaker for additional pours) and thick cuts of red meat are cooked perfectly medium rare. Arrive before 8pm and the dining room will be filled with well-dressed families, but if you want to leave the kids with the in-laws, come later when the gigantic bar area buzzes with the energy of a boozy studio mixer." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"This fancy Sherman Oaks steakhouse has multiple options for hosting your big family dinner (which originally started at four people, but now includes three cousins and an aunt who’s not really your aunt). There are long communal tables and plush circular booths in the main dining room, a gigantic back patio, and an all-glass private dining room if you’re looking to go even fancier. As for food, you’re at a restaurant with “steak” in its name, so don’t get cute with your order. Load up on shrimp cocktail, caesar salad, wagyu meatballs, and whatever big cut of meat catches Uncle Larry’s eye." - brant cox
"This upscale spot on Ventura Blvd. isn’t doing anything wildly different from other classic steakhouses in LA, it’s just executing the playbook to a tee. Plushy green banquettes and black paneled walls give the dining room a sleek, members-only feel. Martinis arrive icy and smooth (with a shaker for additional pours) and thick cuts of red meat are cooked perfectly medium rare. The gigantic bar area buzzes with the energy of a studio social mixer. BLVD is the kind of all-purpose neighborhood gathering spot where you can take the family for a wholesome midweek meal and then sneak back a few days later for a Vesper and filet mignon at the bar." - brant cox, sylvio martins

"A meal at BLVD Steak can work out nicely for a Monday night, which is when street parking on Ventura Boulevard is far easier to come by. Reservations can be wide open in the early weekdays, a boon for those who want a fancier steak dinner early in the week. The patio is spacious, but the dining room can also be a key spot to dig into the dry-aged 42-ounce tomahawk steak, spaghetti and wagyu meatballs, a whopping seafood tower, Maine lobster tail, and the caprese martini with a sidecar of mozzarella." - Rebecca Roland
