Boulevard American Bistro

We had a business lunch here and did not have a problem getting in right at noon. Lots of menu options. I had the salmon - the mustard topping was just right - not overpowering but a good flavor. The steamed broccoli was OK - seemed to have a bit of the fish with it. Clean bathrooms and great service.

Francene was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with such a genuine smile and welcoming energy that immediately made us feel comfortable. Throughout our meal, she took wonderful care of us checking in just the right amount, making thoughtful recommendations, and showing incredible knowledge about the menu and overall restaurant operations. What truly stood out was the care and pride she put into everything she did. She made the best French 75 I have ever had and that’s saying a lot because I’ve traveled all around the world and tried this cocktail in many different places. Hers was perfectly balanced, refreshing, and crafted with such skill. Beyond her talent, it was her grace and warmth that made the experience unforgettable. She treated every guest around her with the same level of kindness and attention, and you could tell she genuinely enjoys connecting with people and making them feel valued. France turned what could have been just a nice dinner into a truly memorable experience. Keeping her family in Jamaica in our prayers. If you have the pleasure of dining here, I hope you get the chance to be served by France she’s truly one of a kind!

I've heard good things so I decided to stop in for lunch and happy hour. I was by myself so I sat at the bar. The bartender, Khoudia, was great. Excellent service and made an awesome Old Fashion. I decided on the French dip and I'm very happy I did. I loved it. I will absolutely be back. I noticed there is prime rib on the menu and that's not easy to find in New Orleans. My next trip will be for dinner to try the prime rib.

Best tacos in a long time. Staff was like family. Quesadillas and tacos are amazing flavors with authentic spices and seasoning. Highly recommend!

Us weary travelers from Boston arrived late in New Orleans for the first time, starving, and found this gem. Awesome server, Sassy, took good care of us and was the perfect ambassador, giving us many great tips of things to do, see, and eat in this great city. What a great way to revive and meet NOLA! Had the grilled chicken sandwich with coleslaw (really flavorful, zippy), the grilled chicken salad (piled high with color and fresh veg) and the duck/andouille gumbo with fries (smoky, superb). You can’t go wrong here, and we gratefully recommend to everyone!

What an amazing lunch we just had. Stayed with both the fire roasted artichoke and deviled eggs. First the artichoke- it was simply put amazing!! You get three artichoke halves and a nice aioli to go with them. The smoke was accentuated by the sea salt. Second - the deviled eggs. They were overly stuffed and you get 6 in an order. They were very flavorful and I would get them again. Now onto my main course. Here I opted for the BBQ Shrimp appetizer. I had our server recommend extra toast points. It was an outstanding recommendation and I would fully support that. I used every one to soak up the sauce. My buddy got the salmon burger. He loved his meal too. Our server was excellent and she had the manager stop by too. I will definitely be back. Put this on your list of stops while in NOLA, it is right down the street from the WWII museum and the Higgins Hotel. Sorry the pics were taken after the fact but you can see the items.

I was dining at the bar and had the pleasure of being served by France. From the moment she arrived, she was professional and full of positive energy. I watched as she walked around greeting every guest at the bar like she already knew them it really made the place feel welcoming. France has an excellent knowledge of drinks and wines, and her recommendations were spot on. She even suggested checking out Broussard’s for my date night tomorrow, which was such a thoughtful touch. The whole experience was amazing thanks to her great attitude and attention to detail. I’ll definitely be back in December with my work team and I’ll for sure be asking for France again!

Started to go to pesche across the street, but opted to eat here instead...glad we did. The crab and shrimp Alfredo was outstanding and the portion size was just right. My wife had the crab cakes and thought they were awesome (she's from Maryland). Had a couple of drinks as well and the bill was under $100.

I stopped into Boulevard for brunch and had a mixed but overall enjoyable experience. The standout of the meal was definitely the breakfast potatoes. Honestly some of the most delicious I've ever had. Perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and absolutely addictive. I ordered the Eggs Sardou and was hoping for a bit more. The dish itself was fine, but the "creamed spinach" lacked flavor and didn't add much to the overall plate. The bottomless mimosas were on the slower side to arrive, but still a fun and necessary touch for a vacation brunch. Despite a couple of misses, Boulevard delivered some truly memorable bites, and I'd come back for those potatoes alone.

Came here on a Thursday for lunch and there were some other people dining there. The service was sooo slow. The power lunch special is $22.50 and includes a salad, sandwich, and side. Is it worth it? Maybe. It was good but nothing really stood out. I'd come back but wouldn't be something I particularly craved. The quantity of food was filling. Ambience: not too noisy. Was able to hold conversations without yelling Parking: paid street parking Bathroom was clean and has the nice cloth-like paper towel

I came here and caught the tail end of happy hour which was great! I got the tuna nachos, lemon drop and espresso martini. Everything was great. For my entree I wanted the Hawaiian steak with a baked potato but I was told they didn't get any potatoes in their order so no baked or mashed potatoes were available. I didn't end up getting anything except another cocktail which was made very well lol. I'll be back and hopefully I can try the entree

Had a reservation for 20 people December 6...service was horrible and the food was cold...and some of the food that was ordered didn't even come out but was charged for

I got really bad food poisoning at this location after eating crab cakes. I'm only giving 2 stars because everything else was great. The service was great, the food was good, and the restaurant was nice. I'm deducting 3 stars for the food poisoning. I contacted the restaurant by email to let them know to hopefully prevent this from happening to more people but I never got an email response. While I was at the hospital for food poisoning 2 other people mentioned getting sick from seafood at this location.

Always a great experience here at this location. Staff is always nice , food always good. I had the roasted chicken sandwich.....off the chain!!!!

Love love love this new Boulevard location. I went for the first for a lunch meeting and they did not disappoint. When you want solid American Bistro style meals, this is your spot. As in all locations, the front door greeting was excellent, we were sat immediately and had drinks within minutes. The waiter was fun, polite and professional as was all the staff. We split the club salad and a burger. Both were delicious. The tempura style fried chicken on the salad was so crispy and flavorful. The burger was cooked to medium perfection and the fries were crispy and hot. Of course we share the spinach dip, always a favorite. I enjoyed the atmosphere. It's comfortable, private enough for a good work or personal conversation but lively enough to feel casual and fun. Will be back to this one!

Coming here on Christmas Day, we weren't sure what to expect, but Boulevard did not disappoint! We had the margarita martini, barbecue gulf shrimp, and vegetable platter, and ended the night with the Kahlua walnut brownie with ice cream. The drink was great but I'm going to focus on the food because that was the highlight of this dinner: - Barbecue gulf shrimp: 5/5; I will be dreaming about the grilled shrimp and toast for a while! The barbecue sauce was phenomenal and the shrimp was perfectly grilled. - Vegetarian platter: 5/5; this was a sampler of peanut-kale salad, rice and black beans, and purple cabbage. All were flavorful and filling! - Walnut and Kahlua brownie with ice cream: 2/5; the brownie wasn't warm and felt slightly underbaked. I wasn't a huge fan of the flavors and didn't feel it was sweet enough. I think the brownie would pair better with a vanilla bean or stronger vanilla ice cream because the ice cream lacked flavor. Overall, this was one of my favorite meals while visiting NOLA and I would recommend it to anyone. Would come back!

I grew up, going to the location on veterans, now that they've opened up one in the city, I've been coming here about once a month or so with friends or family. Love the oysters, spinach, artichoke dip, and I haven't tried all the new additions, but I see they have changed the menu and added some new things at this location, not sure if they have those options at the other locations or if they are just at this one, but They do look pretty tasty. I really love the veggie burger here, it's probably one of my favorites in the city, it's a bean and rice patty, but I really enjoy the texture as opposed to places that serve things like the beyond burger. The desserts are to die for, I have tried them all, and loved them all, one new thing they added at this location was the beat and goat cheese salad, that is one of the new additions that I have tried, and it is incredible! It has candied, walnuts, tomatoes, mixed greens, beets, and goat cheese, and avocado at the bottom, and I think it has the herb vinaigrette dressing that comes with it. But I don't quite remember as it's been a few months since I've had it. Food quality is usually pretty good for me, but I mainly order the vegetarian options. When I've come with friends, it's usually good, but sometimes can be hit or miss when it comes to the meat quality/cook of certain dishes they like to order. Service is usually pretty good, but given it's a new restaurant, sometimes you make it a relatively new server who is still figuring things out. Really hope this place makes it, as it's in a really convenient location!

Mmmm, Boulevard is Boulevard! I do know Boulevard is associated w| Houston's which has gone downhill the past years. This newly opened location is advertised as if it is in the CBD; however, this is most certainly the Warehouse District-- it is actually the old Auction House Market. Food is very basic. Last night I ordered the fried oysters which were good, probably the best thing I've ever gotten there. I wanted something super light instead of salad so I opted for their gumbo which is your typical restaurant gumbo-- brown gravy type sauce, not roux. My drink + oysters were the best things. Service was really great!! Everyone was welcoming and friendly. The bartender was super kind and made great drinks. Ambiance is nice. I sat at the bar which is basically in the middle of the restaurant, didn't love that but nice, chill ambiance overall.

I tried the Coolinary Special on one weekend with high expectations. The Harahan location is close to work, and I have had a couple of good burgers there. So the warehouse location was new to me. Great setting. I felt comfortable. The Staff is friendly. Now, the special... shrimp and rice in a red sauce, was something my momma cooked when we had leftover rice and she added shrimp and Contadina tomato paste (with her spices and onions). It came out looking pretty. Shrimp laid on a red rice hill. It wasn't awful, but nothing special. I ordered a bottle of wine that looked reasonably priced, and at end of meal was told that price was only good on certain days. So. Nice setting. The food looks good, but nothing special for a near $200 lunch.

Visited on Valentine's Day so I saved my appetite for dinner. We chose the BBQ shrimp as an appetizer. The shrimp were huge but sometimes, to me, shrimp have a gummy/rubbery texture & I'm not a fan of them. I was kind of let down when I received my entree which was the stuffed redfish with cauliflower as my side. When the server brung my plate I could instantly smell a strong fishy smell. At first I thought it could have been the cauliflower but I kept getting a wiff of this unpleasant smell. I asked my partner to see if I was mistaking or not but he agreed that something smelled off. So once I told the waiter, he offered me to exchange of something with no problem. I chose the crabcake and kale salad which was very delicious. The dressing on the salad was good also. I was a little upset because my appetite was a little ruined so I took my food to go and ate it the next day. On the other hand, my partner ordered the sealed pasta with a crispy crabcake on top & it was very yummy. And of course I had two lemon drops & they were great as always.

The service was great, the food was even better. Very quiet and mellow. Nice to have a quiet evening with friends

Good space for large parties. I was easily accommodated with a walk in party of 8. I did enjoy the backed potato soup and shrimp remoulade salad. Cocktails were okay. Decent spot to pop in for after work HH

The service was pretty slow but our server was very hospitable. The spinach dip and barbecue shrimp are normally my go to, but this spinach dip had absolutely no flavor. My best friend really enjoyed the oysters. The key lime pie was pretty good! I want to come back to try the brunch.

I went here on Thursday June 19 with my aunt & my friend. They had the most intriguing Restaurant Week Menu....Restaurant Week is a week in June that allows restaurants to give you more bang for your buck.....I was the first one to arrive & it was martini Thursday (Grey Goose or Tito's Vodka Martinis for $7) . They added Paloma (Tequila based) to their menu. I started with one of those & it was brought to me by a waitress named Naomi, she was so delightful. The rest of my party got seated & they ordered lemon drops. My martini was okay but it was kinda of tart. I switched to a Grey Goose dirty martini & it was perfect. Our assigned waitress Kayla came to our table & she was so welcoming. She started to announce the specials but I interrupted her & requested the restaurant week menus. She gave us the menus pertaining to restaurant week & we ordered our starters. My aunt & I had the Boulevard Oysters, & my friend had the Duck & andouille gumbo. The starters came out at the same time & then she took our orders. The Boulevard Oysters are always good. My friend really enjoyed the gumbo because he didn't leave a drop. I ordered the bone in pork chop with cabbage, my aunt ordered the Creole Shrimp Piquant, my friend ordered the Prime Rib with loaded baked potato. I was informed that they ran out of the pork chop, she recommended the Prime Rib & I decided on the Creole Shrimp Piquant. Everything came out & it was delicious, but I should've listened to her recommendation of the Prime Rib. My friend let me try his & being a carnivore that was the better option for me. It was juicy with the right amount of meat, fat, & the Au jus sauce was tasty. The portions were big. We each had leftovers. For dessert my aunt & I ordered the Kahlúa Walnut Brownie with vanilla ice cream. My friend ordered the Key Lime Pie. Both choices were delicious! The 3 course meal each was $56 per person & the martinis each were $7..... You can't beat that. They gave us the best Restaurant Week Menu so far & we participate every year....PS, the service here is great. Kayla was so attentive, she even accommodated my friend with a warm fresh rag because he had stained his pants. She smiled & truly made us feel welcome. The other young lady Naomi was the same. Whoever is in charge is selecting the right people and making sure that they are trained properly. These young women granted quality service willingly! I will continue to patronize this place because it checks off all of my boxes. Needless to say the location is new & very clean with a contemporary look.....

Average American bistro, food is fine but nothing to write home about especially if you are a local. The space has been renovated nicely and staff was very friendly. Glad they took over the space vs it staying vacant. Would go back if convenient, decent choice for those visiting a convention or WWII museum.

Fantastic food! Lackluster service. He continually forgot to check in on us. We had to ask for a dessert menu.

Clean, spacious, and decor is perfect as as well as the friendliness of the staff. Lunch experience was very agreeable. Food was presented well and flavor was delicious. What I'm not pleased with is asynchronous pricing between menu and what's charged. If the menu reflects a price then charge for that, not more. I brought this up about my beverage, which was not honored. Afterwards, a fellow patron in my party reviewed their receipt and noticed the charged food cost did not match the menu. The restaurant did not honor the menu price. I'll go back, but with cautiously.

I stop after work for a quick bite. My partner ordered the Hawaiian ribeye, which is usually awesome but apparently, the soux chef took out the steaks that had not been marinated for 72 hours, we got this information from the manager that came over after our waiter let them know that the steak was not to my partner's liking. The manager was kind and very accommodating once she receive verification that the wrong steak had been used and decided to refund the steak and make a new steak as compensation for the wrong steak being given the first time. The place is beautiful and airy. It is in a great location and I will definitely be back!!

We had a great meal and the service was fantastic, all because of Josh our waiter! It was the night before Halloween and the bar area was packed and Josh seemed to be servicing all the tables in there. He was so kind, helpful, and very efficient, paying attention to every little detail.

This has easily become one of my favorite spots. I love the relaxed atmosphere. Great menu options that are very tasty. Lots of drink options as well. The service has been good overall, not much wait-time to be seated. A couple of times the service was a little slow but I think there were only a few servers on the floor. Still my good go to spot

Can only speak for happy hour. Staff is perfectly nice but happy hour food and price/portion is nuts. $10 for a couple of chicken nuggets, $10 for one burned toast with salmon dip, etc. Ordered their $22 po-boy from regular menu to fill up and that was the saddest sandwich I've seen in my life. Subway would be embarrassed to serve you that. Go for drinks but skip the food.

Service was okay. not good not bad. the food again okay. The oysters were pretty good but the mash potatoes were not the best. Nice looking restaurant. The manager is super rude to the employees and it was awkward to witness. Bald white man I believe.

Our waitress Alicia was amazing! We had a nice proseco and ordered the Hawiian ribeye. We ordered it medium rare and even at that small amount of cooking it came out tough and dry. I expected thick and juicy. Overall flavor was ok just had an odd texture for a $47 steak. Would not order again.

We had a great family dinner at Boulevard over the holidays. The wait staff were so friendly and accommodating with our two toddlers. My favorites of the night were the deviled eggs, boulevard oysters and the duck gumbo. The gumbo was the best gumbo I've had. It was seasoned so well I didn't need to add hot sauce. The boulevard oysters are amazing! I could have easily had a plate of those for myself. I would not recommend the wood fired artichokes. They were seasoned well and the dipping sauce was delicious but since they only served the leaves, there really wasn't much to eat, it just felt like I was eating dip. I thought maybe they would have served the hearts. Overall a great experience and due to the convenience of this location we will be back for drinks and apps.

T was a great server! The food as delicious too! I had the crab cake and shrimp Alfredo. Very tasty!

I checked out the new location on a Thursday late afternoon for a quick bite. When we got there the restaurant wasn't that busy, perfect time. For an appetizer I went with the spinach dip. As usual, it was amazing. For my entree I ended up going with the French dip. The sandwich was the perfect size. I was excited that I would have leftovers! I also ended up ordering an espresso martini but make it tequila. Apparently they have a special on Thursdays with their martinis. So upon receiving my drink it tasted a bit tart. The waitress asked me how it was and I told her it was okay. I honestly was just going to drink it, it wasn't a big deal at all. She ended up sending over the bartender and I just asked her if she could sweeten it just a bit. She happily took it, brought it back and it was amazing. Everything was handled with so much class. Everyone was super sweet, attentive (I wish I could remember the waitress's name. Overall our food, service was great! I will be back!

Where do I start. They don't know how to accommodate large parties and split check this is 2025. I have worked in several restaurants it's not complicated to provide guest with separate checks. I understand if they were slammed but they were completely dead. I have never been here when it's been busy often. It's not like Houston's on st Charles the standard is much higher. We had a party of ten and most of everyone's food was cold. The birthday girl was not allowed to light her candle on her cake for her birthday. I just would never come back here. They need to get it together if they want to last. Nothing impressive.

Everyone knows this is "My Favorite " above all the staff is amazingly the food of delicious and the places is excellent and extremely friendly OMG it don't no better than this...

"Communication goes a long way--most people are very understanding if you communicate with them. Rayel looked extremely upset and overwhelmed; her expression said it all. We waited for 10 minutes before another woman, who wasn't our server, came over to take our drink order. Had Rayel simply said, 'I will be right with you,' we would have understood. The number one rule of hospitality is customer service. I understand that we all go through difficult times, and life can be tough, but I also have to go to work and provide customer service." Also management should not have left her her behind the bar by herself if she was new. Making drinks for the entire restaurant and her bar is crazy work overall I love this place and the food but service was horrible

The barbecue shrimp was so good I forgot to take a picture!! We sat at the bar and the atmosphere was nice. The bartender was friendly and very helpful. Got a nice bottle of wine too. Would definitely go again!

This location was super nice , I love the vibe of it & the bar was amazing . Our waitress was super nice, even walked my girlfriend to the bathroom she didn't know where it was. The food was also pretty good ! I had the bbq shrimp for an appetizer it came out sizzling hot ! It was also 7$ martinis on Thursday so we had 2 lemon drops they were good too. Also had a cedar plank salmon & she had crab cake & pasta we enjoyed both of our meals .

This restaurant is 5 weeks old according to Edward the bartender. Terrific service. Good food. Less than 5 minute walk from WW2 Museum on way back to FQ. I had the deviled eggs and the crab and corn bisque (soup of the day). Both were terrific.

Was very excited to try this on our short trip to NOLA after seeing they just put a new location in the Central Business District. Unfortunately I was let down tremendously. I got the roasted half chicken & it was so overcooked it was gummy. It was so bad it put me off from ordering anything else. The other concerning thing they just offered to get me a different meal. No manager intervention, no other questions, nothing. It seemed as if this was a common occurrence because no one seemed to care. Hopefully it was just a one off but from my sole experience, I'd definitely steer clear of this place until they tighten it up.

Food is not good at either location. For the price it isn't worth it. The food taste frozen and lacks flavor. I would say try somewhere else,

Food was good, nothing to complain about but also nothing to rave about. We only stopped here to avoid the crowds and take a break from walking after saints game. With so many other food choices around, if you're only in town (like we were) for a few days I'd say skip. Service was great.

Today's visit was horrible. I made a reservation for 1:15, arrived at 12:50, and was seated right away. However, I was not greeted by a server for over 10 minutes. When we were finally greeted, we were told that the bartender, Rayel, was our server. I became extremely upset because she saw us sitting there for more than 10 minutes and didn't acknowledge us at all. We were then told she was new and that they were "basically in a rush," but that was a poor excuse. Had Rayel simply told us that she was by herself and would be right with us, it would have made a big difference. Instead, she just looked at us and continued on, which was unacceptable. The team leader, whose name I do not recall, was very pleasant and tried to make things better, but we were already frustrated from the start, so we decided to leave. I probably won't visit this location again for a while, as each visit has been very disappointing.

Excellent customer service. It's always a good meal and just some solid comfort food.

I blundered in here on Wednesday of Super Bowl week, thinking, as a single diner, I might squeeze into the bar to eat. Was given a booth. Service was excellent, Redfish entree was tasty, and the bartender made a very decent Old Fashioned. I counted myself lucky!

Absolutely the best in every way!! Late hours, a menu that accommodates EVERY palette!!! LET'S NOT forget an exquisite adult beverage menu!! Thank me later

Terrible service! My wife and family waited 20 minutes for a table (understandable), but did not receive their food for more than an hour after the order was taken, while watch others who were seated after them get served and leave before them. I walked in before closing to grab a to-go item , waited at the counter to pay, only to be told that the market had closed. I have had a meal at This location at least a dozen times since they opened. After today, I'm done! There are too many other places that appreciate my business.

Service was only Ok. We went on Christmas and had a reservation. We were seated right next to the door. We had to ask for a server after sitting for a very long time. The admitted there was table confusion. Overall the food was good. Nothing to write home about. Could have been great but it wasn't

We just enjoyed a wonderful meal with fantastic service! The deviled eggs were so good...perfectly balanced flavors, beautifully presented. I had the prime rib, which was tender, cooked perfectly, and delicious. Head's up, the petite portion is still 22oz, but definitely something I will enjoy eating more of tomorrow. My husband had the pork chop which was also cooked and seasoned perfectly! To top it all off, our server, Khoudia Gueye, was so friendly and helpful as well as being on top of her game keeping our drinks full and clearing away dirty dishes in a timely manner. She had other tables, but somehow managed to make us feel like we had all her attention. She didn't rush us, and had such a great attitude, one couldn't help but smile. We will definitely be back!

Had a couple of fantastic cosmos my first night in town. Came back the next night and had a wonderful French dip and subbed the fries for broccoli. Love the fact that they have an adjoining late night bar as well! Sat at the bar in the restaurant the first night and at the bar in the "late night" bar the next night and service was great at both!

Our server was excellent. I can't recall her name. She graciously explained subsitution options and made recommendations. My crab cake was excellent. As was the cauliflower. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. No complaints at our table of eight. I would recommend this Boulevard location without hesitation. Nice atmosphere and every employee we encountered was welcoming.

The place was great. The chicken could have been cooked longer, some part of it still had some pink in it, a little uncooked for my liking. The dip was great and the brownie had this hard top layer that tasted like coffee, wasn't expecting that taste. The place was nice and server was friendly.

Get atmosphere.Sat at the bar and enjoyed happy hour drinks and small bites. Everything was spectacular.

Great food, and excellent service! Restaurant was clean and relaxing, great decor. We tried a little of everything on the menu, enjoyed it all. Wait staff was attentive, no cup was empty before they offered refills.
