Bourbon Boulevard

So, we came here for a late lunch on a Saturday. It was a fairly slow and quiet, which was a win. Upon entry, we were quickly greeted and quickly seated (with our preference for location). After our waitress made her introduction, our orders were quickly taken, which we greatly appreciated. I had the ribeye (medium), with the maple sriracha brussel sprouts and the loaded baked potato. Unfortunately, my ribeye came out medium well (in my opinion), causing it to not be as juicy/succulent/flavorful, which was a tad disappointing. For the brussel sprouts, with the pairing of maple and sriracha, I was expecting a more impactful taste, however, this dish was just okay. Overall, we had a good experience, but the food was just average to me. On another note, the live music was getting ready to play around 5pm and this appears to happen daily , which I am sure adds to the experience.

I'm struggling with this review because the food and service were good, but the overall experience was less than satisfying. We probably won't go back.My wife and I went to an early dinner (for her birthday), and the restaurant was almost empty. We ordered whiskey flights and salads to start. She ordered the Fig, Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Salad, which was beautifully presented and tasty. I ordered the Iceberg Wedge, which was similarly very good. But before we could even finish our salads, our entrees were being served. We had no time to thoroughly enjoy our salads, let alone begin tasting our whiskey flights.On to the entrees. My wife ordered the Seared Salmon which was served with crispy skin. The problem was, the crispy skin was served on the bottom, so it quickly became soggy. And the plate was overwhelmed by a huge portion of broccolini. We like broccolini, but wow. That was a lot. The salmon was tasty, but nothing special.I ordered the Lobster Ravioli. It was beautifully presented with half of a small lobster tail on top, but the lobster was a little overcooked and was impossible to remove from the shell. I asked the waiter to take the plate back to the kitchen and ask the chef to help remove the lobster from the shell, which he gladly did. When the plate was returned, there were a few small pieces of lobster on top, but enough to make the plate satisfying. The lobster ravioli, and especially the sauce, was delicious.The problem was, my wife's plate was getting cold while she waited for my plate to be returned to the table. Oh well.The waiter recommended the Tiramisu for dessert, and he offered it on the house because it was my wife's birthday. And it was delicious.The last thing I would mention is the 5% Kitchen Service Charge that was automatically added to the bill. In fairness, it is mentioned on the menu (though I didn't notice it). But I was a little taken aback by its addition, given the problem with my Lobster Ravioli. The kitchen's performance wasn't perfect. I'm really put off by these kinds of fees anyway.Overall, the food was good and the waiter was friendly and attentive. But too many little things added up, and we probably won't go back, especially given how pricey the meal was.

This is my second time here. If you are looking for a great upscale place for food and drinks, with a chill atmosphere, Bourbon Boulevard is for you. Don't come here if you keep asking about prices, or open your wallet to little moths flying out. If you're trying to be Rex McGroupon, or the DisCount of Monte Cristo, don't come here. It's expensive af and you will enjoy every single morsel.Tonight was the hubby's birthday and I wanted somewhere special. Bourbon Boulevard is that somewhere special. It's a manly place with beef, hard liquors, and the works. I love it! The jazz band lulls you in as you're seated. The lounge area looks just as comfortable as the main dining. I love the dimly lit room, as if it is our own little secret.But before I get to what we ordered, I need you to understand Bourbon Boulevard for what it is to me. I love food, not as a glutton, but as a foodie. I love the smell, the textures, the flavors. I savor each bite and experience my meal. Whoever owns and works at this restaurant, is in love with food. I mean, they really love food in every aspect and essence that food can be loved. This is not a restaurant where someone just cooks good. The food here is a love story, between someone who puts their enjoyment of sharing good food with the ability to create culinary masterpieces. This restaurant is what I can only imagine how Belle felt during the "Be Our Guest" scene of Beauty and the Beast. The food and service here are tremendous!We decided to go with a variety of small plates: (Round 1) Steak Tartare, Grande Baby Back Ribs, and Fig, Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Salad. (Round 2) Foie Gras, Seared Scallops, and Tandoori Tiger Prawns. (Round 3) Russian Osetra and Raw Oysters. Dessert was the Bread Pudding. Our drinks were an Smoked Old Fashioned and Smoked Mezcal Negroni, along with a glass each of Riesling with Round 3.PROS:The FoodThe ServiceThe AtmosphereReservationsThe Jazz BandCONS:(only if you're Cheap O. Pennypincher) The PriceThe Parking being right next to a Chick-fil-a with a drive thru. There was a school bus blocking the entrance/exit and it made it difficult for vehicles trying to leave.OVERALL:I recommend this place for those who savor life in general. This isn't food for a buffet-runner or speed eating contestants trying to do a quick meal. This is leisurely eating that can generate great conversation and explore flavors. This is where you take high-end deal clients, your wonderful spouse of years, or friends who don't ask "who's all gonna be there". Bourbon Boulevard is a celebration in itself, because just being alive to devour the world is a triumph. Go and enjoy this restaurant.

Not sure how I feel about this place. On one hand the food was good. On the other hand I was underwhelmed. We came for Valentine's Day dinner but on Saturday. The restaurant was mostly business as usual and then it seems like they put the Valentine's Couples in the back private room which can be a hit or miss. They gave us physical menus but several items we attempted to order they no longer offered. The presentation also wasn't the best in my opinion for the price paid. Drinks were delicious. Would I go again? I'm not sure. It's not a definite yes or no!

First time here! I found food and service to be amazing!!!!!!!! The taste of the oyster was clean and so fresh!!!! The salmon was crisp and cooked to perfection! The lamb was so satisfying! The drink was top tier smoky goodness! And we shared a pistachio cheesecake. The finish was a bow tie of love!!!! We will be back! I loved the experience!!!

Consistency is key! Ventured here after an afternoon of wine tasting. Sat at the bar and was able to enjoy the Ravens win over the Cowboys. Whooo-hooooo...a perfect Sunday Funday. Today I ordered a Caesar Salad and added grilled shrimp. My salad was fresh and my shrimp were delicious! My husband enjoyed the steak skewers with a side of truffle fries along with some of my salad. For dessert we had the Rum Bread Pudding and I also had a hot tea. The bar tender tonight was awesome and entertaining.There was even some live entertainment this evening and the singer with the band was actually pretty good.If we're ever in the area we will definitely be back! :))Happy Yelping!

Being a Bourbon lover, I noticed a Yelp friend's review and said to myself, Self, If I'm ever in the Chantilly area, I have to check this place out. Just by chance, yesterday I was in Chantilly and true to my word, I checked this place out!As soon as we walked in, I noticed a cigar humidor to my right and I was like..wow, they must allow stogies on the patio. Yep, they do and that made it easy to decide to dine outside. Inside BB had a cool set-up with a large bar/lounge area to the left, and a large formal dining area to the right, with a Grand piano and other band instruments set up in the middle. Dimly lit, reminding you of similar fine dining steak houses. The menu is amazing. It literally had everything that I love, unfortunately, I wasn't particularly hungry and I wanted to kick myself for eating a supersized lunch. I'm secure with my manhood, so ordering a Pear Martini isn't that unusual for me, but at a Bourbon themed steakhouse, it was. Hey, I was going to make drink #2 bourbon based..LOL! The Bourbon Gods were not having it and the Martini was horrible. Please take this back and give me that da*n Smoked Old Fashioned that I should have gotten in the first place..SMH!! Our server was really nice but super young and maybe not as experienced as she should be working at an establishment on the scale of Ruth's Chris and Capital Grill. She surprisingly said she would have to ask the manager if they could take that nasty Pear Martini off my bill. I only took half a sip.. are you kidding me? Not until the bill came after dinner, did she finally confirm that the manager voided out the martini. On to the food. Again, we weren't starving, so a few small plates would suffice. We ordered the giant prawns, oysters Rockefeller, filet mignon and a Caesar salad. The prawns were only giant because they had the heads on. Once you removed the heads they were as small as a salad add on. They were overcooked and mushy. The filet was less than luke warm but I liked it, she didn't, saying it was too chewy. The oysters were amazing and the Caesar salad was fresh and tasty. Our server completely forgot the requested ground pepper until the meal was done. This restaurant has all the potential in the world, but at this price point, It's missing the mark. The $20 cigar I purchased was crunchy, so was it bad ventilation in the humidor or was the cigar just old?!? The men's bathroom had one inoperable sink with a soup dispenser hanging on for dear life. The other one was working fine. Also, note that they add a $5.50 service fee automatically to your bill. I still tipped 20% just because I'm a nice guy..lol!Bourbon Blvd., please pay attention to detail so that your 2.5 star Yelp rating won't have the merit it does now..jus saying!

My significant other and I happen to be in this area. We are foodies so naturally we lean on Yelp to help navigate our next meal. My beau said this would be something he'd like to try so we made the stop. Upon entering we notice cigars. My Beau is in Heaven now. So we pivot, instead of dining inside we opted for the patio.Bourbon Boulevard is supposed to be high end but in the patio there were patrons and a dog. That is something you definitely don't see in high end restaurants. Perhaps the Holiday Inn attracts guests with pets. Who knows? The server petting the dog and coming back and touching plates had me feeling a way. Luckily my Beaus back was away from this view point. The menu was expansive. I asked about specials and the young lady said the day we visited there were none, she tried to upsell the Tomahawk. Naturally the highest menu item.Service lacked. She was a sweet waitress but she conversed so much with customers she missed a few requests. We never ever complain, the pear martini my beau got was disturbingly disgusting. I told him he had to be that customer to ask for something different. When he did the waitresses response was this is never bad. And then stated I'll see what the manager says. Odd. The replacement was his good ole old fashion which was executed super classy. Was the best part of the evening! What a drink! We ordered a few items, the prawns were gross I literally told my Beau we'd never order those. The Filet Mignon came out barely warm. The only thing good was my salad and our oysters. There was no manager presence. The cigar my Beau purchased was hard. He didn't complain, he just smoked it. This place is not cheap. For someone who has no problem spending 200-300 on a meal for two this place just doesn't cut it. There are far better places to venture and spend money at. I was confused by the reviews and read that the food was great so I was hoping that would be true for us but unfortunately our food was not the best. Ambience inside was swanky, so I assume for this area it's one of the better places to come enjoy a "high end" place. I will say that just because the menu is pricey doesn't mean they are high end. This is somewhere I wouldn't come back to. Everything lacked.

I visit this restaurant every time I'm in town for the SuperNOVA gaming event in August, and it never disappoints, especially for brunch. The food is consistently fantastic--I'm particularly fond of their seared scallops. My fiancé raved about the duck breast, cooked to perfection on the chef's recommendation. The risotto was so delicious I found myself wishing I had ordered a side of it as well. The cocktails are excellent, and the waitstaff are always friendly and polite. The restaurant itself has a classy atmosphere, offering some high-end options, like champagne and premium meats, which are definitely worth noting. It just baffles me that a place of this caliber is in the middle of a strip mall?

Spent $600 on dinner tonight and left absolutely dissatisfied. Tomahawk was not good at all. Fries didn't come with cheese and when we told the waiter he just laughed. Should've known it was a sign to leave as soon as I saw it was empty inside but wanted to give it a try. The service you get is not up to par with what you would expect when spending so much. Service was horrible. Spend your money at dc prime instead. I hate leaving reviews like this but this was the biggest waste of money. NEVER AGAIN!
