I have been SO excited to try this place as i always drive by it and dream about their cute patio! My friend and I stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed a spot on the patio. Their patio is SO cute with lots of plants, a great atmosphere, and the perfect vibe. The service was also excellent--our waitress was super attentive, checked in often, and gave us some great recommendations. We both ordered vanilla iced lattes, which were good but a little too milky for my taste. For lunch, I got the Thai Peanut Salad, and it was exactly what I was looking for--fresh, flavorful, and light. My only complaint is that I wish it had a bit more protein to help balance out all the veggies and make it a little more filling. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back to try their breakfast and dinner menus. The cute patio alone is worth a visit! read more

My first time sitting on the patio at BLVD, and it's definitely a vibe to be out there on a beautiful day like today! My forever favorite app to start the meal is the Pull-Apart bread, it is the BEST! It is so warm and soft. This was my first time going here for lunch rather than dinner and I tried the 1/2 Avocado BLT Combo with the Caesar salad. The Caesar was a little dry, I do wish it had a bit more dressing. Same with the BLT sandwich, it was a little bland. The sandwich itself was very thick and kind of hard to bite into. Overall, still a good lunch and would go back again to try something else! I'm also intrigued by the brunch menu, which I found out they offer their full brunch on Sundays. read more

Came here on the weekend for brunch because...well, because it was a good day to drink and eat some food. This is the second or third time I have been here? , during the day. The property is spacious, clean with the appropriate amount of lighting. There is a full bar, and a decent tap list. Feeling spunky today, I opted for the Bloody Mary because I was curious if 17.00 was a worthy price for this drink. I'll say there is a LOT of accoutrements in that glass. cheese, shrimp, olives, pickle, and salami(?) if I recall. It was a lot, which was nice, but the star of the show should be the Bloody Mary mix. Here, I felt it fell short, but that is just me. Onto the food - I probably should have stopped at the Bloody Mary, but I was not to be deterred. I ordered the Wagyu Mushroom Burger, and my dining partner ordered the half BLT with a cup of French Onion Soup. The burger was really disappointing. I will say the burger was perfectly made and cooked, but the sauteed mushrooms completely took over the flavor of the burger. Paying a premium price for some ground beef, it should be front and center. I won't order that again. The BLT was wonderful, and everything you'd expect. thick bacon with the right amount of lettuce and tomato, with avocado to add a creamy overtone. The French Onion soup was the best thing we were served. I would come back here again just for that. I would assign this establishment 3 stars, but our server was awesome, so they get an extra star just for this aspect of our dining experience. read more

Stopped in for breakfast at BLVD Kitchen & Bar and had a lovely experience in this upscale bistro setting. The space feels refined yet comfortable. Service was friendly and efficient, even if not particularly standout. I started with the tomato basil soup, and wow -- it was the highlight of the meal. Rich, velvety, and full of flavor. It also came with grilled cheese (which made it even better). As someone who's always on the hunt for a great tomato basil soup, this one definitely delivers. For my entrée, I ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich with chipotle hollandaise on the side. The croissant was flaky and buttery, and the sauce added a nice little kick without overpowering the sandwich. To drink, I had the Prickly Pear Nojito -- refreshing with just the right touch of sweetness. Overall, the soup stole the show, and I'd absolutely come back for that alone. read more

Made a reservation just hours before coming in on a Friday evening and we got a table right away. Anastasia was our waitress and she knowledgeable at offering what's the newest on the menu and the daily specials. The "perfect pear" cocktail was so delicious I end up having 3 glasses of it. Along side pan seared calamari, filet mignon, and the Seabass and curry coconut was amazing good. Great meal to end our night read more

I went to BLVD for Saturday brunch with a group of friends and there was a lot to love: - The Espresso Martini (my drink of choice at any time of day) tasted great. - The food was really good. I had the Crab Cake Benedict - highly recommend! I also got a side of the Lobster Mac to bring home and even reheated it was delicious. - Although located in a strip mall, the inside of the restaurant is very classy. - Our server was very personable and once we got our orders in everything came out really quick. We did wait a little longer than I was expecting for our orders and our checks after we were done eating, however that was partially our fault as we were a group of 6 friends catching up and it was obvious our server was trying to be respectful and give us space. read more

My mom came here on Friday with some friends and enjoyed the food (I think crab cakes?). She suggested going here last night and tried calling to make a reservation. Though she was told that they couldn't take reservations by phone, we were seated right away when we arrived. Plenty of seating inside and outside; we decided to sit outside. I got the seafood cioppino and my mom got the ribs. Cioppino had bread at the bottom of the bowl, which I have not seen before. For dessert, I had the salted caramel sundae, which had the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Waiter was friendly and our food was served quickly. Would come back! read more

BLVD Kitchen & Bar: A Fun and Fun Easter I loved everything about our Easter. BLVD Kitchen & Bar got 5 stars from us. I was impressed how smooth everything was, considering it's Easter Sunday and all. The atmosphere is amazing. The dim lighting is so calming and comfortable. The service was top notch. From holding doors open to old school customer service the staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome and valued. The food was great. I mean, it's a good thing. The food was a work of art. Each dish was presented so beautifully it was almost too pretty to eat! The taste didn't quite live up to the presentation but it was good. But the star of the show for me was the mint lemonade. It was so good! So sweet and full of fruit flavor. Try it! Overall BLVD Kitchen & Bar is a great spot for a special occasion or just a night out. The atmosphere, service and food is a total win. read more

BLVD is always a guaranteed good bite! I've had the pleasure of dining here multiple times and am a big fan of their scratch kitchen. As soon as you enter BLVD, the smell of the wood-fired grill captivates your nostrils. BLVD offers a wide variety of à la carte items and seasonal specials. During my recent visit, our table had the pleasure of indulging in: - "Pepita crusted Halibut": the Halibut was buttery, crunchy, and flaky. Paired with a butternut squash mash, this creamy pairing melted in my mouth at first bite. I found the thickness and portion to be fair for value; it was a steak-like piece of fish. I would happily order this dish again, but unfortunately, it will only be available for the fall season. - "Grilled Salmon": Served with basmati rice, asparagus, and pineapple salsa. The basmati rice was slightly undercooked, but it didn't compromise my liking of the salmon and the asparagus. The MVP of this dish was a creamy garlic aioli served on the side, but I smothered it over most of my bites. - "Margherita Pizza": I love wood-fired grilled pizzas, and this one is done right. 5/5 cheese pull! Thin, light, and perfectly crisp crust. These bites were crunchy and creamy. I loved the choice of cherry tomatoes over sliced tomatoes, as it made every bite of this pizza insanely juicy - in the best way. - "Kid's Cheeseburger": From the little person at the table, the kid's cheeseburger was rated 5/5. The brioche bun was described as soft and buttery, and the patty (which only includes cheese) as delicious. -"Seasonal Pumpkin Ice Cream": This was UH-MAY-ZING! I was skeptical at first because while I appreciate Pumpkin, I'm not a die-hard Pumpkin-flavored fan. However, this ice cream was perfectly balanced. In the ice cream, I tasted notes of vanilla and cinnamon. Mixed in were tiny, grated pieces of fresh pumpkin, which were not overpowering and just the right touch. Served with the ice cream for dipping, or eating alone, was a house-made biscotti. The biscotti was baked crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I've dined at BLVD several times in the last several years. I've rarely had a negative experience as it relates to their cuisine, and none that compromised my return. In my experience, the food has been fresh, savory, and cooked very well. The service may be a hit or miss, depending on their level of business. Not an excuse or fun to experience, but for the most part, I've had more positive experiences than negative. I'm unsure if BLVD accepts reservations as they're not on OpenTable, and every time I've dined, I've walked in. There are times (especially during Happy Hour and weekends) when the restaurant is full. Still, even then, the hosts are pretty accommodating, and I've not experienced a wait longer than 20-30 minutes during rushes. During your wait - should that ever be your experience - the bar at BLVD is my second favorite reason to revisit. Whether a mocktail or a cocktail, BLVD's bartenders know how to mix a good time. My favorite mocktail is the refreshing "Blackberry Basil Mocktini". My favorite cocktail is the stiff but well-balanced "Perfect Pear". My multiple returns confirm my opinion of this special, casual eatery. read more

Easy to find and plenty of spots in the parking lot even during the busy lunch rush. Inside has good vibes and was clean with great energy. Service was excellent and friendly. Order: Blvd royale with cheese. Double 1/4 lb patties with perfectly melty cheese. Great crunch from both the pickles and crispy onions. Sweetness from the caramelized onions all fit between a pretzel bun. Just a monster of a burger packed with flavor and texture. The real surprise were the french fries. They were perfect. Crispy exterior with tender interior. Protip: add hot sauce (crybaby Craig's) to your ketchup for a delicious spicy dipping sauce. Overall: A destination burger in the Western burbs. read more

We check this place out awhile back and my experience has stuck with me since. We paid about $150 after tip for very mediocre food. I've included a picture of everything we got and honestly everything was bland. I was most excited for the lobster Mac and Cheese (which looks beautiful and life it'd have a lot of flavor) but it had zero flavor to it. In the pictures it looked like the restaurant would have a pretty cozy dining vibe but once we got there we realized it has a pretty corporate atmosphere. Maybe it was because we went on a weekday so maybe the weekends are different but it was not ideal for a romantic date night. Our service was alright but honestly a little awkward. I got long pauses/blank stares from the waitress after everything I said and it made me slightly uncomfortable. I will say the BLVD ice cube in our drink was a nice touch and I found that to be pretty neat. But it honestly didn't make up for the price tag. I'm not one to leave bad reviews or to be too harsh but we won't be back after this initial experience. read more

Picked up a takeaway dinner from BLVD recently. Process was very easy - can order online through the website and meal was available in about 20 min. Pick-up was also easy from the host stand inside. Utensils were provided upon asking. I ordered the salmon filet entree with pineapple salsa, asparagus, and rice. Salmon was perfectly cooked - you can tell them how they want it cooked when you check out, I chose medium rare. The pineapple salsa was excellent and the asparagus and rice were good as well. Prices are a bit high, but the meal was very high-quality and I would order again. Enjoyed the flavors! read more

Our server was fantastic, gave us menu recommendations and was always checking in on us at a good time. The menu was slightly different than the last time I was in so great to see them updating their menu as time goes by. We started with the Brie and pear with lingonberry jam appetizer which was incredible--definitely can split between 2-3 people. My friend had the fillet which was cooked perfectly medium rare, beautiful grill marks, super flavorful butter garlic potatoes, and asparagus (still had a lot of tough ends on the spears but easy to pick around). I had the half beet salad which was massive for a half salad, a whole salad could be split between two people I'm guessing. I also had the sticky ribs appetizer as my entree, it comes with 6 sticky ribs and a side of Asian slaw. The ribs were tender, sauced perfectly, crispy outside and juicy inside. The flavor of the sauce was delicious. Overall, I loved the meal. It's definitely more of an upscale place than a family dinner style restaurant but it's not super fine dining that requires a formal outfit and such. There's a variety of seating for small or larger groups, a dining room area as well as a bar style area from what we could see. Great spot for a nice dinner of a spot to celebrate that special moment! read more

Our plans had to pivot so our group ended up here and what a treat! While the patio dining looked so pretty, we didn't have a reservation so we're seated in a big booth in the bar. what a treat! The place was hopping with families, couples, business groups and ladies like us. If you are looking for a quiet atmosphere, inside dining is not the best, reserve a table outside. The assortment of cocktails and mocktails offered something for everyone to kick off our dinner. The menu options offer something for everyone with a wide array of starters, salads, entrees and sandwiches. I chose to pair the Buffalo shrimp appetizer with sweet potato fries and was delighted with each of them. Everyone loved their selections as well from crab cakes to the prosciutto and pear pizza to huge salads. For a birthday treat, we shared the white chocolate bread pudding with caramel sauce, coconut and vanilla ice cream for the table which came highly recommended and did not disappoint. While plans changed, we had a great with great friends, great food, great service and fun atmosphere. Will be back again soon! read more

First time at BLVD Kitchen and Bar last night. We had a great time. Molly was our server. She was excellent!! We will be back.

What can you say about BLVD....we moved out of the neighborhood yet still have a craving for a few of their dishes. (Ceviche shrimp, roasted corn, red onions, green peppers, lemon mint crème Fraîche, avocado, cilantro, tortilla chips.). My go to fav dish. Sometimes a bit slow because of the crowd but worth the wait. Grab one of the outside tables and you can't go wrong. Enjoy. read more

I've been to BLVD a few times. It's never impressed me with its ambience. The dining area and bar are loud and crowded. It's not a great place for meals where you want to hear across a table. The food has been consistent and upscale-ish in my visits. The pro is the food is always well prepared, comes out pretty quickly, and offers variety. The con is I feel a little like I'm eating at Crave or maybe a fancy Cheesecake Factory. Both the food and experience are generic. read more

Location wise, this place to seemed to be a little hidden but right off the highway in the corner of a strip mall. There was a decent amount of parking. The vibe was very 'after work/happy hour' type setting. The lights were dim, the tvs were playing sports and this place was packed and loud, but not obnoxious. Our server was okay despite it being busy, he seemed to check on us routinely. Food came out as expected. The buffalo shrimp was quite tasty and the blue cheese put it over the top and I'm not a blue cheese kind of person. I also ordered a cosmo which was a little stronger than I had expected and the crab cake BLT. This was about a 6/10. Nothing special, just okay. They also have desserts which I did not partake in but my husband seemed to like the cheesecake which came with chocolate sauce, whip cream and a cookie on the side! And it was huge. I don't know if I'd suggest coming back here on purpose because it wasn't a memorable meal, but I would try it again if someone else wanted to go. read more

Service was excellent, such a fun menu. We had 2 appetizers and enjoyed both of them immensely.

Very impressive. I should say, we backed into BLVD on this Friday evening, having first driven to 3 other restaurants. The first, Revival, had gone out of business - what a shame, we loved this place. Then we tried Wok In The Park, where the wait was an hour plus. Off to La Mesa in Bryn Mawr, also an hour wait, though, oddly, it was barely occupied. Reservations had the place booked up, we were told. So it was off to BLVD, where our diligence was rewarded. It's a surprisingly large space. We grabbed a patio spot, finding the interior painfully loud (still, a good sign of a healthy business, it was buzzing) on a lovely night to sit outside. (Ding BLVD one star for the volume - we would have fled had the patio not been an option.) We enjoyed excellent cocktails, burgers and salads. The BLVD Manhattan used Woodford Reserve and was served bracingly cold - quite tasty. I could also highly recommend the BLVD Royale with Cheese simply for the lightly-charred pretzel bun, not to mention the Truffle Fries. Solid desserts. This place really delivers. The bill arrived, not too expensive and pleasantly free of mysterious service charges. We happily tipped 40%. In sum, don't sleep on BLVD Kitchen. read more

The service has always been great and this evening Cindy provided timely service with an incredibly upbeat and unflappable countenance. The menu was full of delicious choices making it difficult to choose. I chose Jambalaya and was not disappointed. I could only eat half of it and have another meal for tomorrow. The Chiefs game was showing on the monitors above the bar. The place is a little noisy but it was a joyful noise and did not interfere with our conversation. It is a little pricey but well worth it for a birthday celebration. A favorite of ours and well worth the trip. read more

Visited Blvd to catch up with old coworkers. It was loud but not too loud to have a great conversation. I am participating in dry January so I was very appreciative of the long list of Mocktails offered. Mine was like a cherry espresso martini it was pretty sweet the server suggested next time add another shot of espresso. We started out with the sweet chili cauliflower wings they were incredible crispy and such good flavors. We shared everything else we ordered The Burger Royale is delicious our bun was a bit dry but still good flavors, Truffle Fries are a must and then we also tried chicken strips so crispy and good. It is safe to say we left stuffed and with leftovers. read more

I came here for an event in one of their side rooms. Even though it was midweek around 4pm, the bar was quite busy. The vibe is upscale suburban American. The staff were nice and walked us to the room and offered the coat rack for our coats. As soon as we entered the room, there were servers in the room that also greeted us, pointed out the food, and asked what we wanted to drink. Very nice to get us settled quickly. They were also very attentive clearing our hors d'oeuvres plates, and refilling waters, etc. They took care of us without being annoying or having us to go find them. The food was good, flatbread pizzas, meat and cheese plates, and some filet skewers. All very good. read more

The Mr and I just enjoyed a delicious dinner and excellent service at BLVD Kitchen & Bar. We opted for the Asian Sticky Ribs (6) and slaw + the Filet Mignon Sliders (4). Both were delicious. We were too full for dessert, so took a piece of the chocolate cake with us to go. 2 beers, 1 High Noon plus all the food mentioned and a tip came to $101.00, so not a cheap meal, but we felt the service, inviting atmosphere, and food warranted the price. Thanks Maggie for taking great care of us. I'll happily return the next time I'm in MN. read more

A great restaurant with many food options, from appetizers, salads, meat and seafood entrees. As a vegetarian their options included ordering from their salad options, flatbread with mushrooms and arugula, risotto, or their sides. The flatbread was very good and just the right amount of balanced topics, not too cheesy. Their dessert options are also divine, with the cheesecake special as the favorite. Service was amazing. Our server answered our questions about the menu and checked in with us throughout to ensure we were happy and water cups were filled. It's a big space with a lot of tables, definitely good for groups. It was busy for a Tuesday night and it gets loud with that many diners. It's conveniently located in a big shopping center with a lot of parking. read more

Happy hour was great! Good portion sizes. Only complaint was that they only have wine and beer for their happy hour drink menu.

The customer service is second to none, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left it was amazing! The atmosphere here is so beautiful, the bathroom decor is dreamy and there are two private dining areas. One where I caught a glimpse of, that now makes me want to come back and celebrate there. We went in around 3pm on a Saturday, ordered the baked brie, lobster risotto and the prickly pear mojito.. there are unique additions to their menu items and everything was delicious, but I enjoyed my risotto most of all. I would recommend dining here! read more

Came for a friend's birthday and let just say I already didn't like the vibes the moment I stepped in. The food is mid for the outrageous price, $15 for edamame is ridiculous. And since it was my friend's birthday I understand the waiter catered to her. But to be ignored after he himself told us to order while my friend has said she still looking at the menu is a bit weird. I let that slide at first but I had mentioned wanted drinks 5 times, only all my other friends got drinks except me. As the only Asian in the group, I can't help but make it a "race thing". Accidentally gave more tips than I intended so you're welcome dude with a man bun. I knew there was a reason why I never find man with long hair attractive. NEVER AGAIN. read more

A really great american food menu overall. Their soups and salads are delicious, they have good lunch specials, and their sandwiches are great. Haven't had an entree here but assume it would be good.

Dinner at the BLVD [Minnetonka MN] Another great restaurant chosen by our local co-workers here in Minnetonka MN. We were a party of 9. We started off with a couple of appetizers: the Asian Sticky Ribs and Sweet Potato Fries. Our server dropped off some warm, moist hand towels on a small tray to cleanse our hands prior to eating. This is actually a Japanese hospitality tradition and I do like this nice etiquette. We proceeded to order our entrées: Margherita flatbread Grilled Salmon Blackened Pork Chop Chilean Sea Bass (ordered by 3 in our party) Jambalaya 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken Lobster Risotto I had the latter, the Lobster Risotto. It was a generous serving with many pieces of lobster meat. This seafood dish was impressive... very tasty, rich and creamy risotto that got me full with just half the serving. I couldn't finish... by the end of our meal, though, it was gone. Shared. I also had a little piece of the woodfire grilled Blackened Pork Chop, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Time for dessert! Yes, please... Blueberry Limoncello Cheesecake White Chocolate Bread Pudding Peach Cobbler Blackberry Ice cream Creme Brûlée Our party of 9 tried a bite of each dessert as they went around. They were all very yummy but the favorite seemed to be the White Chocolate Bread Pudding. As for me, I don't discriminate when it comes to desserts. I love my sweets. The restaurant did get full during the course of our meal and, of course, the noise level went up which made conversations difficult and hard to hear. We were seated at a round table and we were yelling just to be able to hear each other. LoL BLVD Kitchen & Bar is an upscale bistro restaurant that is located in the WestRidge Market (next to Michael's and Staples). They have a nice outdoor patio seating but that evening was just too humid to sit out in Minnetonka. This restaurant was conveniently less than a mile drive from our office building on Wayzata Blvd. Review #3116 read more

Oops - forgot to take pictures until after we started eating... Visited here on a Friday evening for my adult son's bday. As I had done 3 years ago, I had the server order for me, and surprisingly, was served the same order of the best sea bass I have ever had. Son had the fish and chips, wife had the Walleye, and son no. 2 had the risotto. For his birthday, he was given a complimentary desert of chocolate caramel cake, which the 4 of us could not finish it was so large, and we were so full. Will definitely be returning. read more
