BLVD Steakhouse

What a gem for date night. Located right by Fulton market, BLVD is a stunning steakhouse restaurant. We got a spothero near rather than paying for valet, but it wasn't too bad in pricing for valet if you wanted that option. Upon arrival you check in at the main host stand and they will tell you if you're sitting on the patio or inside. We were hoping to be seated inside but were directed outside. While the patio is heated, it wasn't quite what we expected. Nonetheless, it was cute. We were seated by the hostess and one of the server assistants came over and offered us bottled water or tap water. And bread quickly came out, it came with an olive oil, cheese spread, and butter with steak salt on top. The bread was a bit too oily as it was dripping over when I picked it up without being dipped but full of great flavor and wasn't hard. To start we got the tuna crudo and the French onion soup, the tuna crudo was great with their house made peppers on top. The French onion soup was stunning but tasted like it had far too much sherry in it that took away from the French onion flavors of the soup. For our entrees we ordered the porterhouse to share cooked medium rare, the Mac and cheese, 50/50 potatoes and the fries because we wanted to see what the beef fat fries tasted like. To start, we're usually not one to be picky about the temperature of steaks, but our steak was a weeee bit overdone when it came out. More like medium well than medium rare. But our server was quick to get a new one thrown on the grill and done right. While we waited we had the Mac and cheese and when it was the highlight of the night for me. The béchamel sauce with the cheeses was amazing! So good that we dipped the fries in it to make cheese fries. When the redone steak came out, it was perfect. We enjoyed it with the potatoes which were sooo smooth and melted in your mouth. With the porterhouse we also got the chimichurri sauce, which with the roasted garlic only amplified the flavors. To end the meal, we were so full from dinner that we decided not to get dessert. But our server remembered we mentioned my husband's birthday was last week and brought out a scoop of ice cream with a sparkler for him. All in all we had a great time, and things were fixed super quickly. The staff was super friendly, and I can't wait to come back and try other dishes.

Pre-meal: Got a last minute reservation in the attractive outdoor patio. Valet parking.Room: The main restaurant area is opulent and luxe. A beautiful bar area is framed by a large crystal chandelier and a curvaceous staircase going up to the second level. We were seated in the pretty patio area which is under the L tracks so it is periodically very noisy!Picture-taking: We were seated outside which was bright but the inside was pretty dark.Beverages: Very good cocktails that are 1/2 price on Sundays! A lot of WBTG selections including a Coravin section and dessert wines.Menu: Pretty standard steak and seafood. A lot of steak options with various toppings. Steaks are a la carte and there are shareable sides.Food: The escargot were sandy and covered with breadcrumbs - I would avoid these. King crab legs were delicious. Bread service was delicious. Salads were good including a fine Caesar. Halibut and scallop entrees were very good. 16 oz Australian wagyu ribeye was delicious, with great char - served Rossini style (foie gras, shaved truffles, demi-glacé) - put it over the top! Steak frites came with delicious beef tallow fries. For dessert we had a good sticky toffee pudding and an interesting take on cheesecake with strawberry mousse.Service: Very good.Price: Expensive.Value: MediumSummary: Luxe steakhouse with a few twists on standard steakhouse fare.

Inside is dark and moody. The initial impression felt stuffy, but the service was much more forgiving and exciting. Monday was half off martinis and they don't hold back so be warned.We ordered 1 to 2 items from each category. Most of the food was amazing, and most importantly the proteins were on point. I wish the jam was not incorporated into the marrow as it ended up being too sweet for our tastes. All the great flavors of a good steakhouse none of the pretentiousness.

This place is amazing. It is beautiful on the inside and definitely gives date night or special occasion vibes. The food is pricey but what else do you expect. The Wagyu Ribeye is my favorite dish and just completely melts in your mouth. Would recommend coming here for a special occasion as usually it is $100-150 per person.

Went here while I was visiting Chicago. It's a very beautiful restaurant and everyone is so friendly. The food wasn't anything special. It was a good time, nice vibe though due to the blandness of some of the food I'm unsure if I'd go back. 3 drinks, 2 side, a salmon , a steak and 1 desert = $350 ( not complaining about the price I'm used to going to upscale restaurants so I knew we were going to be spending around that amount)

Wow! From the striking ambiance, first class service, and amazing food this place is a ten for me! Our waiter Rob went above and beyond for my mamas birthday. He made her feel so special and provided a first class experience. Dirty and straight up martini were some of the best we have had.... And they have blue cheese olives ! The old fashioned is top notch with their own branded Woodford and the clearest cube you have ever seen. The half seafood tower was amazing and definitely enough for three people. We also had the bone in ribeye cooked to a perfect medium, mashed potato's (a must), duck fat fries, and mushrooms. They were all delicious. Don't forget the toffee pudding!!! Ugh so good Make the trip up to the bathroom. It's beautiful! Tip- pay the extra for valet. So much easier. And this is a people watching spot

The inside and outside are so beautiful it's a shame the food is really not good. The food was wildly overpriced for the quality that we received. Everything was SO heavily salted and yet didn't have much flavor at all. The tartar was inedible it was so salty. The patio, though stunning, is also right next to the train so it's all you can hear every 4 minutes. Points for service though as everyone was very friendly and attentive. Would recommend if you're having a glass of wine on the patio but otherwise it's a no.

Blvd is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I love oysters, in my opinion they have the best. I enjoy the scenery in the summer as the patio is beautiful and floral. The service is always top notch, drinks A1. They don't miss!

The ambiance and service were both noteworthy. It's stunning inside. -Perfect for a date. I loved our server. He was helpful without being overbearing. The food was good. Don't get me wrong. But for a $300 meal, not sure it was quite worth that. We ordered the steak tartare to start. Loved the grilled sourdough bread it came with. The wagyu strip steak was good but not a slam dunk. I did really enjoy the blackened salmon with grits, but the baked potato with creme fraîche and caviar needed more caviar and it wasn't presented in a very appetizing way. I'd have gladly paid more for more caviar on it. I load it up when I make it at home. It was an enjoyable experience and a nice change-up from your typical steakhouse, but I'd consider this a "one and done" restaurant.

Great location. Nice decor and set up. Servers were friendly. Food was very average. Wouldn't recommend for the price point. Ended up here because it had numerous tables available at the last minute on a Saturday evening.
