"A special six-course tasting menu on Monday, August 5 will pair a visiting Milwaukee chef, Dan Jacobs (a Top Chef runner-up and six-time James Beard semi-finalist), with local chef Joe Flamm; Jacobs is behind the popular Cream City spots DanDan and EsterEv (the latter currently closed due to flood damage). Proceeds from the dinner will support EsterEv staff during recovery; the experience is $120 per person (not inclusive of tax and gratuity) and reservations are available via OpenTable." - Jeffy Mai
"BLVD, Top Chef Joe Flamm and Day Off Group’s swanky steakhouse in Fulton Market, made a big splash in spring 2023 when it unveiled a 100-seat all-season patio with retractable screens, breezy linen curtains, and a secret garden vibe that lends a feeling of intimacy not an easy feat in the hustle and bustle of the West Loop. An 11-foot-tall pergola lends some cover from the elements, and there’s room for groups as large as 10. Online ordering is also available." - Naomi Waxman

"BLVD Steakhouse serves brunch in its plant-lined, covered atrium, providing a sunny spot to indulge with king crab benedict, steak frites with fried egg, smoked salmon hash or other dishes from chef Joe Flamm paired with a seasonal spritz or something from the restaurant’s recently expanded menu of champagne and rosé. The space can be completely enclosed in case the weather takes a turn for the worse. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson

"BLVD Steakhouse pivoted during the pandemic and has since handed the reins to celebrity chef Joe Flamm to give this West Loop space some pop. The steaks are from several local farms and can be boosted with toppings like chimichurri, blue cheese, or bearnaise. The space remains luxe and feels very vintage Hollywood. There’s also a formidable patio, one of the biggest in the neighborhood, so folks can just grab a drink or an appetizer." - Ashok Selvam
"For glammed-up group dining, it’s all about this luxe modern American steakhouse in the West Loop. Whether it’s a special occasion or a girls’ night out, it’s best to come dressed to the nines. Large parties can book the private Champagne room or gallery upstairs, where they’ll be treated to seafood towers, caviar service, and steaks from celebrity chef Joe Flamm. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson
