Boulevard Bistro

There's probably not much more to be said about this place that hasn't already been said, but it was such a standout experience for the Elk Grove area that I couldn't not write about it! I've been to restaurants made out of houses before, but never a fine-dining restaurant... and it works! The juxtaposition of high-quality, "fancy" dishes while eating in what was essentially a living room at one point just feels special. For this reason, the experience is quite intimate, with tables fairly close together, so if you're squeamish about others overhearing your conversation, you may feel a tad awkward. For me this added to the charm a bit, as we ended up chatting or joking with folks at other tables a few times.As expected, the food was exquisite, which excellent wine pairings. The filet minion was cooked and seasoned perfectly, along with the pork chops and salmon that my other group ordered. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, even if non of the flavors were necessarily unexpected. This is a place to get high-quality, hearty, American dishes with a fancy flair. Oh, and I should mention that the deviled eggs were some of the best I've ever had, which was a nice surprise!

Fine dining, but casual and cozy. Really fast, efficient service. We liked a lot of our food - we loved the deviled eggs and pork belly. Whatever apple/radish slaw they use on the pork belly was my husbands favorite - and he hates apples and radish Their food is much richer than it appears or sounds, so be careful to not order too much like we did ;) The portions may look small, but you'll be full before the entrees come out if you order more than 2 appetizers. I actually really like how quiet and lowkey the place was. I could actually enjoy dinner with my partner and have a conversation with him without loud music or big crowds of people. Everything feels very intimate.

I ordered take-out from this place on Valentine's Day and ordered the bone marrow appetizer, duck, and steak entrees. I don't have the receipt but it was probably around $150-200. The bone marrow was great as usual, the duck was tender, and the steak was cooked medium rare as requested. I would recommend dining-in, the restaurant is small but has a home feel (I think it's literally a house). They gave me a side of break to-go as well which was considerate. Overall, this restaurant is great for fancy dates in the Elk Grove area. I don't make enough scratch to eat here occasionally, but this place and Sheldon Inn will scratch that itch if you feel like spending. After eating here, take your date on a short walk down Old Elk Grove to the multiple bars in the area.

I've been here numerous times and it never disappoints. From the great service to the quaint old house that was turned into this great place. I had the shrimp and polenta plate. Very good. Highly recommend this place to anyone in Elk Grove that's tired of restaurant chains.

Perfect place for a special dinner date or just a fancy meal any other time. This place is pricey but reasonable for quality and freshness. Everything we had was great, service is always top notch, you definitely get what you pay for. They made the meal extra special with a birthday candle for my husband.

I've heard about this place so many times since I went to the karate school that used to across the street, so glad to have finally tried it.Walking in was interesting since I believe the restaurant is a repurposed home. The layout made me feel like I was at home too. It was neat how there's a small bar set up at the entrance and you don't see the dining floor until you turn the corner. We had a reservation for 5pm on a Thursday, so there weren't a lot of customers until about halfway through our meal. The server was friendly and had a very inviting vibe, but it felt as though we had more meaningful interaction with the nice employees who were very diligent in changing out our silverware, clearing our plates, and refilling our waters.The steak tartar was a special that was mentioned by the waiter and it was very delicious. It initially came out without the egg on top, so the interaction with the server when he tried to take it back was a bit awkward. Nevertheless, once it was ready to go everyone was quick to get a bite. The bread that came before our meal was a bit strong with the seasoning, but eating it with the tartar helped to cut that down. The staff were nice in offering to split our salads for us as well. My blackberry salad with feta (I believe) was decent, with the blackberry really saving the day.Our entrees felt like they took a while considering there wasn't really anyone in the restaurant at the time, but they were worth the wait. The salmon I ordered had a perfect crispiness on top and the capers and sauce underneath brought some excellent flavors. Lastly, we ordered two orders of bread pudding to celebrate the birthdays at the table and they were so delicious. Usually when I have it anywhere else it's either too dry or too mushy, but this place has it nailed.Not sure if I would come again anytime soon, but very curious to try other offerings since it seems they do change their menu from time to time.

Cute place. We sat outside in the patio. It was nice. Bread and butter was brought out. It was tasty. We ordered the sausage small plate, which was really good. Came with baby pickles, onions, mustard and bread. Also ordered the blackberry salad. Could have used a little more flavor. The duck was nicely cooked. Our server, Ayden (sp?) was great.

Love this restaurant in Old Elk Grove , the service is always great. Nice chill atmosphere and the food is incredible. Been here twice and will definitely be making it a 3 peat soon . I'm a drop some photos of the amazing dishes .. I'm not a bread pudding person but omg their bread pudding is amazing . It changed me lol .

The bone marrow is always a great choice here. If you are a fan of blue cheese, the wedge salad is a great choice!If your waiter/waitress recommends the bread pudding... listen to them... I am not a fan of bread pudding, but that was one of the best desserts that I have ever had... it even made their already bomb creme Brule secondary!

This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Elk Grove. First and last experience from customer service, excellent quality food and setting for close and personal conversations. Good for mother days brunch, romantic evening or just for a good night dinner. I have had several dishes by them, and has always been amazing, tasteful and filling. The menu is limited and doesn't change often A must in Elk Grove!
