My husband and I went there last night and everything was amazing. Our waiter was a young man name Joshua, he was very good & professional. The Assistant General Manager Jamie was working that night and when I tell you guys She is a beautiful person on the outside and inside, she was very attentive making sure our Dinner was cooked right after a little confusion on how my Husband wanted his Steak cooked. The food came out Perfect, everything was hot and Fresh!! The Spinach Dip was Delicious it’s actually one of my favorites there. I had the Crab Cake with a Loaded Bake Potato and Key Lime Pie. We left there feeling full and happy!! We will definitely be back!

I visit this restaurant today for resurrection Sunday and the customer service from the time I entered to the time I left was amazing. Solomon was my waiter. He was timely and made sure to tell me the specials of the day. I ordered my food my steak was great. The food was also pretty good. I had the Hawaiian ribeye with mashed potatoes. Thank you for a great experience.

I ordered the gulf shrimp pasta and the pasta was very bland, lacking a lot of seasoning. The shrimp were undercooked and raw. I sent it back to the kitchen and I immediately got sick. The server Mia acted as if she didn’t want to be there. She was talking very low to the point I couldn’t hear anything she was saying. She only came to check on us maybe twice. Definitely did not enjoy my meal nor the experience.

this place is a really good spot to eat around the area. It’s on the higher end. The food is fresh and well portioned, but felt a bit flat. Our server Zack server was extremely polite and attentive. They have a good collection of alcoholic drinks including all the basics: old fashioned, margaritas. They have table, booth and bar seating, good for small and larger parties. Prices for entry are between 25+ - $30

Love this place! We were tossed out of Houston's for my daughter's failure to surrender her walker at the table. Boulevard American Bistro treated her with dignity and provided excellent service.

My Wife and I decided to go out to dinner. Everything tasted great, quick services, and love the ambience. Erik was a great waiter, from start to finish

First things first, the service was amazing. My friend ordered the spinach dip I believe, but I didn't get to get any pictures because we devoured it. There was 3 dips on the plate which were the spinach dip, salsa dip, and spur cream dip. We ran out of tortilla chips, but the waiter brought us more. The spinach dip wasn't overwhelming in terms of smell, but the taste was a creamy soft texture. I ordered the Hawaiian ribeye and man. I'd order it again for sure. The steak was cooked perfect as I had asked. Juicy in the middle and you can taste that it was marinated with salt and tenderized with a pineapple.

Boulevard American Bistro definitely brings to mind Houston's on St. Charles in New Orleans. The food is good, though I wouldn't say it's quite as impressive as Houston's used to be. However, those crab cakes are absolutely delicious! Plus, the service is really great, and they make some fantastic lemonade and other drinks.

Got a to-go order and had a lackluster experience with the front door staff. I waited for the food at the booth right next to the front desk, but you can't see when the staff brings the food out. I asked if they could put the sauce on the side since it was a to-go order and they reassured me that they always do that (which ended up being incorrect because my order had it on BOTH buns). After quite a while, I got up to see if my order had been dropped off and low & behold, it was sitting behind them on the shelf. I just can't say for how long, but when I got to the office to eat my meal, the burger wasn't hot as I would've assumed. This is the reason for the 3 stars. ‍

So I have been going here since it opened and have had multiple great experiences. However, that means not all of them were great. This is a place I view as equal to Houston's Restaurant. Nice elegant dining but at a more affordable option than other steakhouses. So for the great experiences, it's kinda self-explanatory. Everything from service to food was excellent. Now those different experiences are where I have more to say. It's mainly inconsistency with the food. I typically order the prime rib or Hawaiian ribeye and have been served steaks smaller than my 10-year-old cousin's hand. I get things are expensive and times are tough, but it was quite ridiculous the food that was served to me. Besides that, there has been inconsistency in actually cooking the steaks. I am a medium rare guy, but sometimes they serve it quite raw. It's gotten to the point where I would order medium or medium well just because of that. Unfortunately, after having so many bad experiences, I won't be returning. I would actually recommend the Boulevard in Metairie, which to my knowledge is their original location. I have had nothing but good experiences there.

I came in on a Saturday, early afternoon, after running some errands. There was a large shared parking lot. I was promptly greeted and seated. I got the plank salmon with coleslaw for the meal and the cobbler for dessert. The salmon and the cobbler were amazing. The coleslaw was just meh. Prices were reasonable.

Maybe it was an off day, but this was pretty disappointing. Came for lunch and were greeted semi-promptly after being seated. Our drink order was taken, one cocktail and a soda, and we also ordered the spinach dip ($16). An extended period of time went by before receiving water, and the cocktail took about 10 minutes. We were seated adjacent to the bar area and observed 2 bartenders. A different server came to take our entrée order. We split a Cuban sandwich which is served with coleslaw ($16) and added a side order of fries ($9). Several minutes after the cocktail arrived, the second server asked if we needed ketchup or any horseradish cream for the fries. We said yes please, horseradish cream sounds awesome! A few minutes later, she dropped off a plate with a ramekin of ketchup only. It seemed apparent that somehow between the first and second server, we were not going to be receiving the spinach dip. When I was able to flag down the server, I mentioned the spinach dip and she said she would check on it. As our Cuban arrived, a manager of some sort stopped by our table and apologized. We opted just to remove it from the bill since we had just been served the sandwich. Sandwich was okay, a bit bland, and strangely, mustard was only on part of the sandwich. Our server did not come to check on us so we couldn't ask for a side of mustard. We improvised and used the hot sauce at the table. The check was brought in a reasonable time, and the spinach dip was indeed removed from the bill. TBH it looked like a small portion for the price so perhaps it wasn't all bad that we never received it. Not sure if I would return, but other food coming out of the kitchen looked pretty good, particularly the deviled eggs and loaded baked potatoes.

As far as chain restaurants go this one is pretty solid. Always clean, servers are polite and knowledgeable about the selections. Food comes out hot and is consistent. I saw there's a pretty good happy hour menu. Will be going back to try.

Stopped at the boulevard for lunch today and ordered the French dip sandwich. This French dip sandwich had great flavor. It was super delicious and I highly recommend it. The service was excellent. It took about 25 minutes to get our food but I understand it takes a while when you're eating quality food. Our server was super nice and efficient. Inside was super nice and had that really high class field.

Went for the 1st time in harahan they didn't get my order in on time but they may are very apologetic. They even gave us a dessert for the trouble The food was delicious. Had a chili appetizer and the pork chops were I'll be back

We did lunch here. We all got salads . They were all delicious. I got the tuna which was cooked rare as requested. Sooo Good. The shrimp salad was good with a dressing that I thought was exceptional. The service was really good. It we went at 2:00 so they weren't very busy but the wait staff Was very professional

I wanted to give more stars because our server was great, but the food was horrid. I ordered the wood grilled redfish. It was clearly frozen and reheated in a microwave or by a heating lamp. The fish was watery and cold on one side and devoid any real flavor. For $38 I expected at least something that was cooked in their kitchen and not offsite somewhere then reheated.

Update to my review I placed 4 MONTHS AGO!!! Apparently the business owner left me a comment on my review and wanted me to elaborate on my experience.... 1. That was 4 months ago. If you cared, why did it take you 4 months to respond? And 2. There's no way for me to message the owner. I tap on their name in the comment and nothing happens. Very weird... I don't recommend this place unless you like snobs.

My absolute favorite spot to visit! The service and food is always top notch. There hasn't been anything I've tried on this menu that was not good. The mood is always chill and relaxing. I usually go outside of lunch hours because the wait gets pretty lengthy and the bar gets full. My favorite dishes are the pan seared crab cakes and the bbq gulf shrimp. The margarita martini is my absolute go to! They definitely have an amazing selection of wine. My favorite is the Whispering Angel rosé. This place is a gem.

Service - visited with my kids after parades Mardi Gras Day. We were greeted and seated immediately even though they were slightly busy. The Hostess and waitress were very nice. Manager also visited our table and was also nice. Ambiance - the facility had a very nice upscale but comfortable feel. The dining area and bathrooms were clean. Slight gnat problem. Food - Not good at all. I think our ticket might have gotten lost. It took an hr+ for our food to come out. We unfortunately watched ppl come eat and leave and our food still hadn't come out. Two kids had burgers w/ fries, two had the chicken tenders w/ fries and a sides of broccoli , I had the crab cakes with loaded potatoes and fries and a side salad. The kids fries were old, the chicken tenders were not crispy, but soft and under-seasoned. The broccoli was severely undercooked. The burgers were good but unfortunately, my youngest only ate half cause a bug landed on her food and she smashed it on the burger. The crab cakes were cool and not hot. There was a dab of sauce so I can't comment on it. And the cakes had an equal serving of crab meat, breading, and crab shell pieces. I tried to eat small bites slowly as to not choke on the large pieces of shells. I gave up after one crab cake. I ordered two. My fries however were fresh and good but that disappointed the kids cause their fries were so old so I ended up having to share my fries with them. We had literally been out and about since 5am and I was too tired to complain or try and find a different restaurant after waiting an hr plus but I appreciate the waitress and manager trying to correct the errors I didn't even complain about. I wasn't charged for the salad or kids meal. Our overall ticket was $130 plus tip. For that price, I would not go back or recommend.

This place has the best spinach dip, it's a must try. We also had the dip oysters, they were pretty good. I ordered the pressed cuban. It was delicious as well with much of Dijon sauce. Other members of the party ordered Hawaiian steak and chicken salad. They both were large portions, lots of cheese and Kales, good stuff. The restaurant was fairly big, but it filled very quickly. It's very popular place indeed. I can't wait to try other items next time. The prices are not cheap- Nola prices

We have been here a couple times now and it's definitely one of our current favorites. The Hawaiian Rib Eye with the Loaded Baked Potato is awesome. It's our go to order for special occasions. All of the other food I have seen served here looks good, too, but we tend to stick with the same thing. For my boyfriend's birthday we ordered the Apple Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream and the Amaretto Cheesecake. Both were huge and very good also.

I felt this place was good, not fantastic, but good. We had good service, the place is open, good for large groups, lots of space and available parking, clean bathrooms. The prices are a little high for the amount of food you get. I know inflation sucks too, but I am still able to get bigger portions and a little bit lower prices elsewhere. The food didn't really wow me, again everything was just good. The place may be a decent place to take business colleagues to or even a celebration with a large group. The feel of the restaurant, reminded me of a place like Carrabas or Olive Garden. The food I ordered was a fish and side kale salad. The fish was cooked well and the salad was nice, but nothing wowed me. I think the fish and kale was meant to be light and fresh and it was. Overall, I think this is a nice place, but I may only go back if someone else wants to go.

An absolute horrible experience, we ordered two steaks the Hawaiian rib eyes, they came to the table ice cold. the French fries were nice and hot, you could tell the steaks were sitting under a lamp waiting for the fries. The manager apologizes said the kitchen was backed up and she would send the gift certificate for our troubles. She took our names and addresses to send the gift certificate which by the way you can buy right at the front desk when you walk in, we got cold food, a $200.00 bill, no gift certificate and no satisfaction from management.

I've been frequently dining with the Boulevard since the initial outbreak of COVID (since Feb/March 20'). When the restaurant was restricted from in-door seating, I was still ordering car-side pickups. Relocated and returned and to my delight everything was still top-notch and as I remembered. Note, I will be fair and say I usually frequently ordered around the burgers, but is no slight on the rest of their entrees. Through my partner, I've had a gander and a taste of some their other entrees and I would definitely recommend almost everything they have to offer. Provided they haven't ran out. Now, as far as the burgers.. you can't go wrong with any of the selections. Do not shy away from the non-beef options. You're missing out if you do. Also, appetizers are good as well. As far as the service, when i've sat at a table/booth the waitress/waiters have always been friendly, conscientious and hospitable. So we're the bartenders when I've sat the bar. Wait time on Food and drinks have never been long. The restaurant as well has never been obnoxiously loud and it keeps a steady stream of people coming into the restaurant. Overall, as a frequent patron over the years, I can fully recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice meal in the Elmwood area.

I had a great experience here for lunch! I met a friend and we had great service and food. We had the spinach dip, she had a salad with grilled chicken and I had the oyster app and a house salad. The oysters were So good! Plump and perfectly fried. I will definitely go back for those!

Went to the Boulevard for dinner on Thursday 4/27. It was a pretty busy since it was dinner time, but our waitress was very attentive and efficient. My boyfriend ordered the vegetarian beet burger, which he loves - he has not been able to find anything else that could compare to this! I ordered a Caesar salad with a side of fries. In previous visits, I have gotten the Caesar salad and it was delicious. This time, it was just okay. I was disappointed to see quite a bit of the lettuce was browning. There were only two croutons for the whole salad. I picked around the brown lettuce, but still, it just seemed like the salad wasn't as flavorful. So, while I will be back at some point, I was a little disappointed to get browning lettuce. It may have been because it was busy, but based on my previously excellent visits, I had expected a stellar dinner like I was used to.

Party of 3. 2 adults 1 child. We were sat at the bar area in a booth.. no problem with that. We waited for quite some time for our main course; a salad, double crab cakes and kids pasta... bit into a crab shell, kinda ruined my appetite after that. Kids past asked for pasta only; came out a everything separate, chicken, pasta and sauce. Question why put freshly ground pepper in a kids meal?? My server came got our order and haven't seen him since. I think he forgot to put in order so he had his fellow employees to finish service. He sat in The last booth eating ignorant to his job in hand. On my banlist for awhile. Don't know when I'll be back here but I know I will definitely not eat at the bar section. I haven't felt like not tipping in years . Lucky the wife was paying, she still gave in a decent tip that I felt not deserved . Kudos for the rest of staff. Saved his rear.

Got a door dash. We both ordered seared tuna salad. One small handful of lettuce, one small piece of cantaloupe, one even smaller piece of Avocado. 1 1/2 cherry tomatoes and 3 small pieces of tuna. For $28.89 each. Don't waist your money here you are definitely not getting what was described.

We were seated in the back by the bar and we're glad because it wasn't as noisy. The service was good. The room was cold. The food, however was mediocre. I had the Cuban sandwich. It was okay. I will say the cole slaw was made in house though it lacked luster. And whoever heard of putting curry powder in Mexican street corn? Totally gross! The potato soup sprinkled with cheese and bacon bits was enjoyable though too salty. With so many choices in New Orleans I doubt I'll go back.

I have been visiting Boulevard for some time now and I usually get the Wood Grilled Shrimp Pasta, the Crab Cakes or the BBQ Shrimp. I ordered To-Go last night for the Grilled Red Fish and the Shrimp Pasta. After almost 30 minutes after I placed my order, I received a call stating that they were out of Red Fish. I wish we would've known sooner so that we could order everything at a different location. But, because the pasta was presumed to be ready, we went to pick that up but ordered the Red Fish from the Veterans location. The staff had been very nice the entire time, nonetheless. When I got home, I opened my pasta and noticed a tiny insect that looked like a gnat crawling around on the noodles! I called back and once again the staff was very nice and offered me a comp pasta to come back and get. Well I just went back to get my pasta, and now I'm disappointed for another reason. The recipe seems to have changed! The shrimp doesn't taste like real Louisiana shrimp anymore- it tastes very rubbery (Maybe it wasn't done? It looked done though). The pasta sauce itself was very thick and creamy. This sauce has NEVER been like this and I've been to this location, the one on Vets and the one in Mandeville. It's always been more of a loose sauce like olive oil or wine based. I Don't get me wrong, I love a good creamy pasta but Boulevard's was my go-to when I did not want such a heavy sauce! I'm highly disappointed because I already paid $30 for this dish and it's not even the same. I don't even want it. I ate half and my stomach is hurting. When you're spending a lot of money like that on a small portion of food, you want to enjoy your meal but sadly I did not. I feel like I paid for something that was completely different from my expectations. I have attached a picture of how the pasta looked previously (months ago) and how it looked today.

Stopped in for dinner and was seated immediately, but then sat at our table for 10-15 minutes with no one coming by to even acknowledge us or take a drink order. I could see waiters serving other tables elsewhere, but none in our section. Eventually we got up and left telling the hostess why. If it takes that long just to see a waiter, I hate to think how long we'd have to wait for food. Fortunately there are several other food options nearby in the Elmwood area.

I was hoping for a great Sunday dining experience. Boulevard is a ripoff version of Houston, but is a far cry from it. The first thing we ordered was the Spinach Dip which was tasteless. I ordered a half rack of ribs and a like baked potato. Seems pretty easy right! Nope. Ribs were from an anorexic pig and the baked dad potato was so cold the cheese would not melt. I ate all of the ribs before the waitress came back 20 minutes in later. I complained about the baked potato being cold. The waitress said she would take care of it. We also asked her for Ice. We never received the ice and she brings back a second potato from the kitchen that was exactly like the first, if not the same. I CC called for the manager and told her they should be ashamed to service that as a baked potato. She told me she would make it right. Later she comes back. It's hot and good and she comes to ask how it is. I tell her that every potato served should be like this. She said they kitchen wishes they could. What the hell is that supposed to mean? They are not capable. The food at this place is very under par for the price. Just spend the time to go to Houston's on St Charles if you want that type of food. Boulevard SUCKS! Service and food.

Meh... neither terrible nor great. The food was mediocre. Could be because they were near closing. My husband raved about their redfish entree and was not thrilled when it landed in front of him. Cold! Packed it to go. The bbq shrimp sauce was very tangy. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and had a great flavor, but overall dish was subpar. Christian was a great bartender. Made great recommendations and prepared tasty drinks. I'd say it's worth a try ‍

This was a nice place. The interior and atmosphere was quite enjoyable. It gives an upscale feel, but you don't have to dress up to go. But if you do, that works too. Service is good and the food was not bad. That being said, it was t great either. The prices were a bit higher, so there was a certain level of taste , quality, and serving amount expected. They failed on these points. The serving sizes were small. That is of course what we noticed first. The piece of fish my husband got was not even a full half slice. He reported that it tasted "okay". Now he had more cauliflower that he wanted! But it was not good so he passed on it. I had the Hawaiian Ribeye. It was a small, thin cut and was far below the quality of meat I'd expected. It had a good flavor but was still disappointing. The best thing I had was the Margarita. So, basically we left dissatisfied. So, I'd recommend this location for sitting at the bar and having a couple drinks, unless you just want a small overpriced & underwhelming meal. The margaritas were better.

I am new to the neighborhood, so I was looking for something close by with good food and a nice ambiance. I was very disappointed. I ordered a lemon drop, 2 crabcakes, red cabbage, and a loaded baked potato. The drink was great. The crabcakes were okay, they threw some kosher salt on it and that was the only 'flavoring'. The red cabbage was slimy and mushy. The baked potato was lightly loaded and undercooked. The bacon on top tasted like dog food. The bartenders were nice, but inattentive. Looking around, it seemed like other diners had issues with their food as well, so voicing concerns didn't feel productive. I don't think I'll be back.

If you're in the mood to spend a lot of money for minimal food, this is the place for you. The chicken tender platter is the best thing on the menu for the price. Do not order the French dip. It's way overpriced for a small sandwich with more Mayo and bread than meat. They cut it and turn it outward to make it look larger than what it is. The fries are really good too. I won't be visiting again.

I would normally give 5 stars and I do know every place has a bad day... but the last few times we have been...(-and I do love to go here ) something has changed... last time the artichokes ordered twice were terrible and undercooked! This time bar service was less than great... had to ask more than once for silverware, the smoked salmon which is one of our go to's was tiny... and my club salad ... chicken was burnt, salad was brown and no eggs as mentioned in the menu... come on Boulevard... gotta step it back up! Miss the way it used to be.

We had a fairly large party of 12. Order drinks and appetizers. The appetizer I ordered was the House Cream Spinach which was the spinach dip with salsa and chips. The presentation was was nice but it did not taste like anything. My entree was Cedar Plank Scottish Salmon with a side of loaded mash potatoes. The salmon was cooked well and the taste again was not there.The mash was everything. Besides the mash, I enjoyed was my alcoholic beverage as well.

Went here for an after Christmas Christmas dinner with my family. The service was impeccable! Our server, Leo, provided 5 star service. I would've thought I was at a much more expensive place. The redfish was decent. Wasn't amazing but definitely not bad at all. My baked potato was lukewarm unfortunately. I didn't have it sent back. I did have a good time there. I'd definitely go back. I would order something different tho. If you go, ask for Leo!

This was our 3rd visit to Boulevard American Bistro and it did not disappoint. We had reservations for 4 and informed the hostess of our arrival. She was very nice, pleasant and seated us promptly. Our waitress greeted us, shortly thereafter and informed us of the special menu items. She was very attentive throughout our meal as was the other staff that came by. We ordered Buck's Deviled Eggs, Boulevard Oysters and the Wood Fired Artichokes to start and all items were very tasty, but my absolute favorites are the Oysters and Artichoke. I could make a meal out of just those two alone. For our main courses, 3 of us had the Cedar Plank Scottish Salmon but each chose a different side (I love how it is so easy to substitute on the menu). My son, the Birthday Boy, ordered the Hawaiian Ribeye with French Fries. All of us were very happy with our choices. To wrap it up, my son was given a free dessert as a birthday compliment, which he had no room for, so our waitress boxed it for him and even gave him instructions on how to warm it up. It was a great place to spend with my Son for his birthday! We felt welcomed, attended to and most importantly we enjoyed every item that was served to us! We will definitely come back again.

The ambiance was relaxed and casual with a touch of elegance. I sat at the bar where April greeted me immediately. She had such a pleasant presence and was very professional. I ordered a beautifully crafted French 75 and crab cakes with a side of fries and peanut kale salad. Everything was delicious! The crab cakes were juicy, and let me tell you they did not skimp on the lump crab meat! The peanut kale salad was perfectly balanced. Although the fries came out a little soggy, April quickly replaced them with a fresh batch. I loved to see the manager walk the ENTIRE restaurant to greet us and check-in with our experience. I was super hungry so I forgot to take a photo, but it came out exactly as pictured. This place will definitely see me again when I have room for dessert !

Salmon dip was delicious. The texture of the dip was creamy, but the toast points gave it the crunch this dip needed. A nicely balanced app to start the meal.

TAKE OUT ORDER: This place has been open for a while and I wanted something different for lunch. Anyone that knows me knows how much I enjoy oysters..lets just say I should stick to the places I know will do it right. I ordered the oyster Caesar salad. A bit overpriced but gave it shot..I think Im owed a refund! The dressing was good..portion size was a bit small but the oysters were even smaller. More batter than oysters..and it looks like they literally counted out 5 or 6 oysters to go on top. The menu offers everything under the sun..should have been a red flag but I pushed full steam ahead anyway. With so many other great options in the area, I doubt if I will revisit this one.

Everything is great about this place. Food and service are top notch! The salads are great, I normally get the fish of the day, or a ribeye. Can't go wrong with either.

Smoked salmon dip was amazing!! Pressed Cuban without the bead was delicious as was the broccoli. Husband thoroughly enjoyed the double cut pork chop with coleslaw. Both meals were enough for two servings. Love this new location and the happy hours specials were excellent. Will definitely return many times.
