As I visit this restaurant twice in two weeks , I've notice the waiters/waitress does not match how good the food tastes. My waitress wasn't able to be found in 15 mins as I waited. There wasn't any follow up after we received our food. Until the check came. The food is good that's why I come , but there's 1 African American lady with blonde braids that I've watched , give amazing service. read more

Harlem world! Been wanting to come back here after a great brunch years ago! Easily accessible by train or driving. Parking wasnt bad and the station was right outside. I made reservations for 5:30 and they wont seat you if all your party isn't there. They have a few stools by door or bar if you want to wait. The bar was packed. I wanted to try happy hour but it was only offered at the bar and with no one getting up we sat at a booth. I will say if I come back I'd have to come earlier to get a seat perhaps. The food was good. I got the southern fried dinner and a frose. They were good. The server was nice and the place was clean. No complaints. I'd come back if im in the area. read more

Blvd Bistro - Southern dinner and pancakes - American Near Me - New York, New York

My family and I dined here tonight after my brother's residency graduation! They honored my reservation and seated us promptly. Somehow they actually knew it was me when I walked in too-- this was a nice touch! My family ordered an array of foods from lamb chops to a catfish po' boy, and it was all great!!! The service was also OUTSTANDING! Everyone was very kind and accommodating :-) Thank you, BLVD, for being the cherry on top of a wonderful family moment and monumental achievement! All I can say is that I wish there were a bit more vegan options, but...BLVD did not just prepare a meal...they offered an experience. For that, I am most grateful. read more

Really lively joint w great Southern food! Came with a friend to celebrate his bday and wow the food was delish! Started with some drinks which were strong and tasty! The French 75 styled-one was like a boozy lemonade, so drinkable. For food make sure you try the superrrrr cheesy Mac and cheese- that was absolutely the standout. The stuffed salmon was also super tasty and perfectly cooked. Service is really friendly and helpful. On Tuesdays they have live music which can get rly loud, so plan ahead! read more

Blvd Bistro - Blueberry Pancakes and Shrimp and Grits...side of eggs and turkey bacon - American Near Me - New York, New York

Came here after getting off our flight. Was told this place has great drinks, the staff is friendly and the music here is always slappin. Definitely a place you want to come to after work or a long day and enjoy their drinks and have a great friendly service. Shrimp Po'Boy: 9/10 my husband loved it. Her personally loved the dirty rice because it was spicy, but perfectly spicy. He cleaned his plate thoroughly. BLVD Wings: 8/10 Fried perfectly, but it was giving extra sweet Asian fusion. I don't like my wings sweet, but everyone else enjoyed them. Cesar salad (no protein): 7/10 no lie, I had the end of the roman lettuce tossed in my salad and it was a no for me, so I offered it. Fried chicken biscuit sliders: 10/10 they only come with two and I lowkey wish they came with 4 with the way its priced. Biscuits fluffy and the chicken was juicy. We could eat 4 more of thems. Overall: 8/10 I think I ordered incorrectly and should have ordered a main dish, but I would have loved for the apps to hit the way my husband's Po'Boy was hitting based off of price. My brother and cousin ordered drinks and they said the bartender was doing her thing behind the counter. They literally ordered 3 rounds of drinks. But I think this place is a great environment for folks who need to take a load off and being here was it. read more

Happy hour is the way to go. 12-7 pm. The music is a vibe. I got the cauliflower bites. Get the sauce on the side. They were ok. The red sangria was a delight. Next time I'll try the biscuit sliders but I wants that hungry. FYI the tacos come with two catfish and two bbq. You can't mix and match. The peach cobbler was ok. The good thing is that it has a lot of crumble. The icecream is a must. I met a lot of nice and friendly people. I must return!!! read more

This food was on point you hear me. I ordered the jumbo shrimp and grits with bacon and cheese and butter on the grits. The grits was cooked to perfection. The shrimp was well seasoned and great tasting. Great portion of food. The service was okay. Sat at the bar . The bartender made a drink and he spilled it as he sat it down. Don't like to waste no contents at all especially cocktails . The sisterita drink was good considering some of it was spilled on the bar. Very nice place inside. Nice decor inside. I will definitely come back read more

Tried and true brunch spot. I love the steak, perfect medium char! And the ambiance is popping, this isn't gonna be a quiet brunch by any means lol. The Dj is loud and booming with R&B and old school Hip Hop. The service is a bit slow, but that's to be expected. read more

Every time I come here, it feels like you're surrounding by family. The vibes are immaculate and the food is even better. I can't recommend this place enough. There's a dj on Friday nights who kicks it off for a band who doesn't disappoint. This time I ordered the stuffed salon which included crab and lobster with mashed potato's and broccoli. read more

BLVD Bistro is a good spot to come with friends for a fun brunch and an upbeat one with the DJ playing solid tracks, some of them gems from decades ago still maintaining their freshness. I came the Saturday before a recent snow storm without a reservation and, as a single person, could not sit at one of several open tables. The Maitre d'hotel was well within her discretion to seat me at the bar and she did immediately. The Sista working the bar quickly presented me the laminated menu and set me up with a Ball jar of ice water, which turned out to be all I wanted to drink given how early it was. I perused the menu and the standard offerings are there among others: egg and omelette dishes, chicken and pancakes, burger and wings, shrimp or catfish and grits. I chose the $24 chicken and blueberry pancakes. The Sista behind the bar is experienced and can handle a fully seated bar. She was not overtaxed and she picks up on customer cues. This cold morning I was not overly talkative and she gave me efficient and courteous service, while interacting with others a lot more. About ten minutes after placing my order, my plate was coming to me from the kitchen behind and to the right of the bar. The pancakes with blueberries and compote with whipped butter are served on the plate, but the chicken is coming in an unnecessary metal wire basket lined with parchment paper on the plate. In hindsight, I should have taken the basket off the plate and placed each of the three pieces directly on the plate to handle them better with the knife and fork. Better yet, skip the basket and serve it all on the plate directly. The bone in chicken: breast, drumstick and a wing, was good, but nothing incredible. The batter was crisp, but it was not as seasoned as one would expect. You will want the hot sauce for the chicken, which I requested. The blueberry pancakes were also good, but nothing outstanding. Everything looked better than it tasted, but at $24 for the whole meal, is a good value. The bill after taxes, tip and restaurant fee came to $31 and change, not bad. However, I do not like the compulsory 20 percent tip and two and a half percent restaurant fee. These restaurant fees have gotta go and the automatic twenty percent gratuity for one person is unwarranted and leaves a bad taste. These practices are becoming more commonplace and normalized, because people do not object and make it known these practices are not acceptable. Perhaps some may think it's not worth mentioning, but I waited tables, I bussed tables, and I was a cook when these practices were absent and my tip is to be at my discretion as a customer, not automatic. Therefore my rating is deducted accordingly, and reflects my dissatisfaction with these tip and fee practices. Three stars read more

Man the service is shifty. I walked in today, Saturday at 3pm. Seated immediately, dinning for 1. Placed my order for Blvd Burger N fries and the 6 biscuits to go. After waiting nearly 30 minutes the waitress comes by to apologize for the delay. By this time 2 gentleman came in, sat next to me and within 20 additional minutes received their food before me. I kindly got up and left.​ I wished I had ordered a drink it would have been free for me. I ran to "Make My Fish" on 116th and ordered a hot "Catfish Dinner with collard greens, candied yams, and lemonade all for $23. I'm so full and half enough left over for tomorrow. Blvd Bistro is shifty. Don't waste your time if your dinning alone. They are the worst. Nearly an hour wait for a Burger and fries. I could went to McDonald's and got served faster.​ read more

The waiter Jamie was nice but the food took over 90 minutes after we were sat for our 4:30 pm reservation, we had to ask three times where our food was and by the time the food was served at 6:21pm we had to pack it up immediately because we had waited that long. Two therapies tables with .ore people had been sat after us were served their food, ate their food and left before we saw our entrees. I would not recommend this place. read more

This had to be my favorite brunch in the city! I mean 10/10 for real! From the service to the drinks to the food, I legit had no complaints at Blvd Bistro! I suggest ordering the white peach Bellini carafe and you absolutely must try the biscuits with gravy! You will lick that plate clean, I promise you! Make sure you come with a big appetite because you'll need to then split the French toast, eggs and wings with a friend because the portions are huge and way too good to not finish! I'm definitely coming back every single time I'm in town. read more

This is a place that is very popular. You should keep that in mind before you arrive or when you're making your reservation. My understanding is that it's a good spot for after work. I think because of the popularity it's a bit overpriced. New York is one of those places where you can find delicious food around every corner and so overall, I think this was just OK. The ambience was also just OK. The customer service was good however the place was crowded so they tried their best. read more

Came here last week for brunch. The food was ok. I had the catfish with cheese grits and a biscuit. Our waitress was really nice. The main issue I had is, I don't like establishments that has a time limit for tables. I don't like to feel like I'm being rushed, especially if I spending money. Another thing...the DJ that was there gotta quit singing along to every song. Brunch turned into Karaoke and I didn't order that. Other than that ,we had a nice time. Would I go back? Maybe. read more

You can skip this supposed hot spot. It's just not worth the long and expensive cab ride up there and back (just to find somewhere else to eat). My family and I had an 8pm reservation on a Saturday night, arrived 30 minutes early, and had to wait outside by a putrid, full trash can while dozens of patrons without reservations walked by (some being turned away and some getting seated after flirting with the security guard). At 8pm, we were told that there was a birthday party there that night, and they were waiting for them to go. We were patient, but happier still that the DJ announced they'd be turning down the (foul and definitely not family-friendly) music at 8, when the R&B began. This place was more like a nightclub than a restaurant, and any hopes of hearing others at your table are pure fantasy. By 8:45, we still had not been seated (although others who came after us were), and since the volume hadn't gone down even one degree, we hailed a cab for somewhere else. Finally, when we were seated for a nice Italian dinner at a place where we could actually hear one another, we received a text and phone call from someone at the restaurant, asking where we were. I just laughed and said, "We left. You do see it's over an hour past our reservation, right?" He hung up on me. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere you can get a nice meal experience, not a head ache and having your ear drums blown out. Won't be back. read more

We had a great meal on our trip to NYC! After receiving a recommendation from a friend, we made our way out to Harlem for a good meal. The restaurant was lively with great music!

I came on a Sunday for brunch for the first time and I had a great time! My friends and I weren't a fan of the food and the cocktails we chose. Their steak, eggs and homefries dish wasn't good at all. My eggs had way too much parsley, the steak seemed wet and not seasoned good and was on top of the hash browns which made the potatoes really soggy and they also tasted very salty. Their biscuits are fluffy though! Thankfully it was cooked correctly, unlike my friend's plate she ordered medium rare and it came out brown! It was comped and she had the shrimp and grits which tasted way better! We had a great time for the sing along part which started more in the night. We had a mimosa at first and it was perfectly made! My second drink (The Bevy) was very strong but it's okay I didn't feel like complaining about it. The dj & hype woman I was great and kept the customers happy and singing! If I was to come back I would def. come back for pancakes and bacon lol and of course to sing my heart out! read more

It was a good meal...the staff seemed not too concerned, they didn't do anything wrong, just didn't seem really interested. My friend ordered sweetened tea...and asked for light ice....they brought him tea...and somehow he ended up with a cup of ice...with a bottle cap in it. The owner came over and straightened it out...it was just odd. We ordered the catfish and it was delicious...I enjoyed the potato salad, which was a tad bit salty however paired with catfish, wasn't too bad. Overall was very happy with the food and the ambiance !! read more

Bistro BlVD. Has a very positive vibe with good music 80s-90s. DJ's choice of music is right on Owner always genuinely smiling at customers even the pushy ones. We had a reservation and were seated asap. Interior and exterior decor is modern and tastefully done. The bar accentuates and people are seated there's comfortably. It is a Harlem restaurant with a Black clientele as well as other residents of Harlem. I loved that it's a Harlem establishment, a Black owned eatery. The food is fresh and tasty. Service is very good. Drinking Prosecco with OJ igood idea but the too basic Sangria can be skipped. All and all Great restaurant read more

We stopped into Blvd Bistro and overall had a good experience. The space has a nice vibe and the staff was friendly, though service started off a little confusing. Our helper brought water quickly, but it took over 10 minutes before a server acknowledged us, so we weren't sure who to order with. The host ended up stepping in to take our order, which helped get things moving. One thing to note--happy hour pricing is only available if you're seated at the bar, even though our booth was just steps away. I had the "116th" cocktail, which was great, and our table ordered two fried chicken dinners, a burger, and the seafood po'boy. Everything was tasty! Being from the South, I would have liked the fried chicken to be seasoned a bit more beyond the breading, but it was still enjoyable. Overall, good food and a nice spot to grab a meal. I'd definitely come back when in the area to try their dinner menu! read more

On Sunday May 17th Had reservations for 4pm my birthday party was on time we did not sit down until 4:50pm and we asked to be seated at a table in the back that was available for a large party and was told No, we would get something better upfront. We were seated upfront. Orders our meal . The manager Kevon came over and asked us to do HIM a favor can we give up our seats and go sit in the back so they can seat a party at our table. I was applaud and flabbergasted. We adamantly said NO we are not moving and he became abrasive. Where do managers act like this?? The audacity to treat us as if my celebration was not as important as another party after seating is an hour later and our food came out at 6:30 and mash potatoes were barely warm. It's unfortunate that a manager would represent this establishment in such away. I will not be returning and someone needs to the leadership and how to treat customers. We did not allow the horrible treatment to spoil our celebration. Happy 58th Birthday to ME . Don't let anyone steal your JOY. read more

Very nice and clean location. The DJ played great music. The location is Kinda small to the point that the DJ booth is right behind the Host. The waiters take a little time getting to you- And the food takes way too long. It's like they prepare the meal per table Due to the normal crowd, the waiters are not that attentive for the tips they expect. They basically take your order, somebody else brings you your food then you have to hope to see them again if you need something else. The food was decent could be lite on the salt. Great Vibes of a mature crowd- Would've suggest for Ppl over 65 read more

Sunday, May 17, 2026. My first time & last.The food was good, but the customer service from the manager was absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. We had a reservation at 4pm and was seated at 4:45pm. Once seated, we ordered our drinks, appetizers & entrees. The manager came over and asked our table of 8 to move to a table in the back, to accommodate a party of 13. Our party all declined his offer. We felt that was very unprofessional and under valued as customers. Once we were done with our meal, we voiced our opinion to the manager. Kayon, the manager began to mock us & waved his finger he our face. The birthday person, continued to voice her opinion, he then asked,"DO YOU NEED A HUG"! That was very condescending, disrespectful and dismissive. THE OWNER SHOULD HIRE MORE RESPECTFUL, PROFESSIONAL & QUALIFIED STAFF. That manager needs to be fired! read more

I've moved around a lot, so I won't claim the South--but my taste buds definitely did. Anyway, not how you're "supposed" to start a restaurant review, but here we are: this might've been the best shrimp and grits I've ever had. I'm flying to Charleston in a week and honestly? I'm a little nervous. NYC might've just set the bar way too high. read more

My date and I had a wonderful time at BLVD Bistro. I ordered the stuffed salmon with whipped mashed potatoes and broccoli. Delicious from first to last bite! The service was excellent! There was a bit of a wait with a reservation, but I was understanding considering that my date's uber got cancelled twice and there were so many people waiting to be seated. The ambiance was a great vibe! There was live music, vocalist, keyboardist, bass guitar and drums. It was a party! The ambiance is a bit loud! I recommend going with someone you know, not a first date. Don't want to be screaming across the table. Lastly, it was a bit warm inside because the windows were open and the door was opening and closing. Bring your portable handheld fans and good vibes! read more

I also had the shrimp and grits which I think would be better with some kind of sauce paired with it/ on top/ in it. It was cooked really well, just needs a bit more flavor. Overall, I am so pleased with my first visit there and I'm glad that was one of the restaurants we chose to try on my first trip to NYC. I will definitely be back when I visit New York again and I'll be spreading the word about how good BLVD Bistro is!! read more
