    This spot is a vibe. Michael was amazing!! We came out to meet some family and friends. The staff was so welcoming. As soon as we walked in, the place was buzzing. Everyone around us was having a great time. We ordered the seafood tower, tuna tartar, Petite Filets, shrimp cocktail, extra oysters, braised short rib, Mac and cheese, celery piccata and a wedge salad... My favorite was the braised short rib which came with mashed potatoes, carrots and a delicious sauce. Everyone devoured all the food. The plates were licked clean. We shared everything... We also split a variety of the desserts... Molten cake, butter cake, cheesecake, and bread pudding. It was all splendid can't go wrong with any of it. My gotos would be the butter cake and bread pudding. Our server was fantastic. He didn't miss a beat. We appreciate all the staff for doing such an amazing job. We were able to just focus on catching up and laughing while all our needs were met. Just Thank You BLVD for making the evening so memorable. thank you, Michael.

    Tried BLVD Steak for the first time last night with a few friends and had a great experience. We didn't have a reservation, so we grabbed seats at the bar, which ended up being AMAZING. There's valet available for $14, which is super convenient, but you can also find street parking if you get lucky. I got there a little early and started with a glass of Prosecco, then had a dirty martini that was delicious. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and the bartenders were incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a really enjoyable night.

    This place is fantastic! It was a real pleasure being able to visit and indulge in all of the delicious options offered at BLVD Steak! For appetizers, we tried the Wagyu beef meatball, the scallops (which were a special of the night), and shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail was so soft and delicious and the presentation was superb! The scallops had a great flavor and the Wagyu beef meatball was delicious and soft. For my man course, I ordered the day's special wich was a Wagyu beef steak with a balsamic glaze and it was amazingly soft and flavorful. Others at my table had a bite and also raved about it. They do steak right at this restaurant. Additionally, my favorite side dish was the mushrooms. I highly recommend if you enjoy mushrooms. Our server was very kind and personable. Everything about the experience was top tier.

    My significant other and I visited BLVD Steakhouse for the first time for my birthday. A good friend has raved about the restaurant for quite some time, so I was excited to give it a try. I enjoyed everything about the restaurant, and I look forward to going back. We had an early reservation and were seated right away upon arrival in a great booth that was spacious and had a view of the entire dining area on the side we were on. Upon being seated, our server, Jon, stopped by right away to welcome us. We had a few minutes to look at the menu, and Jon let us know about the evening's specials. We decided on a seafood tower for two, 6 oz filets, a loaded baked potato, and a lobster tail. The lobster tail was a special for the evening, at a smaller size than the usual one on the menu. Well, I must have gotten lucky because it was large to me. Everything was delicious. Once we were finished, Jon brought over a birthday dessert with a fun sparkler in it. The dessert was butter cake and ice cream, which was an enjoyable finish to the evening. Overall, I really enjoyed all the food that I tried, and Jon went above and beyond to make my birthday dinner very special.

    Had our anniversary meal here. Beautiful place, great service, good food. Sides are just ok, but the main meals are spectacular.

    Came here for my birthday dinner on January 22 and honestly had a great experience. The place was packed, and it was a weeknight, which already tells you this spot is popular for a reason. We had a reservation for six, but only three of us arrived first. They still seated us right away and didn't make us wait for the rest of our group, which I really appreciated. The front was crowded, so not having to stand around was a big plus. We were seated in the back and I didn't even realize how big this restaurant was until then. From the outside, it looks smaller, but inside it's actually huge. The vibe was great. Everyone looked happy to be there. A lot of tables were celebrating birthdays too, so it felt like a fun, positive night all around. Most of us ordered steak. I got the 16 oz New York steak and loved it, but I'm also a big meat guy, so I'm a little biased. The appetizers were really good. The Wagyu meatballs, lobster mashed potatoes, and truffle fries are a must. The shrimp appetizer was also amazing and different from the usual shrimp cocktail. The creamed spinach was another favorite. Super good. The Caesar salad was fine. Not bad at all, just not the best I've ever had. Still enjoyed it. Service was excellent. Someone was always refilling our water before we even had to ask, which was perfect because I was really thirsty that night. All the servers were friendly, quick, and very attentive. Overall, food was about an 8 out of 10, service was 10 out of 10, and the vibe was 10 out of 10. Great place for celebrations. I'd definitely come back. Highly recommend if you want good steak, great service, and a fun atmosphere.

    Happy New Year! My husband and I came here to bring in 2026. Even though it's a restaurant, it was a still a party! There was dancing, drinking, and a lot of fun. People were enjoying their delicious sea bass and butter cakes while others (me) were enjoying the tequila shots lol. The theme was 007 so the decorations were really cool. They provided everyone with 2026 hats, beads, blowers and a complementary glass of champagne to celebrate. This was truly the place to be on such a big night with all of my friends and I enjoyed making new friends. The perfect way to start the New Year!

    Bone in ribeye
    Andrea E.

    Got some great news today, so my boyfriend and I decided to go out and celebrate. I knew I wanted a bone-in ribeye and he was also in the mood for steak, so we decided to give this place a try based on the reviews. The interior is nice and dimly lit, with a large bar and comfortable seating. It was pretty loud, but the place was packed for a Wednesday night. Our reservation was for 8 pm and we were seated right on time. The drinks were great. I had a blood orange mule, which was excellent, and my boyfriend ordered an old fashioned. For food, we ordered the pretzel bread, bone marrow, my 16 oz ribeye, a bone-in filet, mac and cheese, chipotle corn, and waffle fries. The pretzel bread was tasty, and the bone marrow itself was good, but the portion was underwhelming. There were maybe two small spoonfuls of actual marrow. My ribeye was cooked perfectly at medium rare and had a nice char, but it was severely underseasoned. It tasted like there was little to no salt on it. Even the chimichurri sauce I ordered lacked seasoning. My boyfriend's filet leaned closer to rare than medium rare and was also underseasoned. The mac and cheese was excellent and was probably my favorite part of the meal. The chipotle and lime corn was also very good. The waffle fries were just okay and not something I would order again. Overall, I would come back for drinks and maybe an appetizer or two. Unfortunately, for a place known for its steaks, they just did not deliver. I have made better ribeyes at home and have had better steaks at popular steakhouse chains.

    Dirty martini
    Maddy M.

    It was date night and we were looking for a place that had a nice bar for drinks. We landed on BLVD steak, even though we were pretty sure it would be too busy to get seats. We were in luck! We got two seats at the bar and enjoyed some martinis, waffle fries and the yellowtail crudo. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. The bartenders were SO friendly and attentive. The one thing about this place is that it's super loud. So I wouldn't say to come here for an intimate dinner. It seems like it's great for large parties. It gets to crowded that it feels a little cramped but it's definitely a fun scene! Folks of all ages and even families enjoying their meals. Plan to spend a pretty penny, it is a steakhouse after all.

    Asparagus With House-made Ricotta and Honey
    Evan W.

    Excellent dinner at Blvd. Steak, with a friendly and energetic crowd handled well by a gregarious and top notch staff of bartenders and servers. As always, the mood was lively and party-rich, with everyone settling in for a fun and festive Saturday night. I ordered the 6oz ribeye cap, which was perfectly charred on the outside while being tender and cool inside. Topped with the house Chimichurri sauce, it is the star of a menu that includes various methods for preparing and perfecting your selection of beef. I ordered the Asparagus with Ricotta and Honey as a side; properly grilled and served with house made, creamy ricotta cheese that is offset by a sweet and herbaceous honey, this dish will draw you in and keep you noshing long after you've started feeling full. My wife ordered the Sautéed Shrimp, which was buttery and garlicky and, likewise, addictive. Pair all of this with wine and martinis, and you've got an A+++ dinner. Pricey? Yes. But worth every penny.

    Butter cake w/ strawberries
    Darice L.

    Got a reservation on their website pretty easily -- even for a same-day Friday night at 7:30 pm, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, parking was the first challenge. There wasn't a clearly marked lot, so we circled around looking for street or neighborhood parking. They do offer valet though if you want something easier. After checking in, we were seated pretty quickly. Atmosphere was a bit noisy but still enjoyable. Our server Ryan (who was great the whole night) let us know right away that they have some off-menu items, so it's worth asking if you're curious. Once we settled in, we started ordering: Starters Bone Marrow w/ bread - 4/5 Really tasty, though I wish there was less butter on the bread and thicker slices to balance it out. Wagyu Meatball - 5/5 Perfect density, incredible sauce Caesar salad - 5/5 Croutons were the star of the show Pretzel Bread - never came We ordered it, but it never made it to the table. Realized in the car on the way home. Dinner Wagyu 10 oz Westholme Ribeye (Australia) - 5/5 Cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Dry Aged 6 oz Ribeye Cap - 5/5 Tender, rich, and super satisfying. Sauces Chimichurri - 3/5 (a bit too oily for me) Bordelaise - 3/5 (a little on the sweeter) Salmon - 5/5 Perfectly cooked -- flaky, moist, and well-seasoned. Sides Mac & Cheese - 3/5 Potatoes - 4/5, creamy and delicious Grilled Asparagus - 4/5, simple but solid Dessert Butter Cake w/ strawberries - 3/5 Good, but definitely on the sweeter side. All in all, it was a good time with solid dishes and great service.

    Butterscotch budino was a delicious way to finish the meal.
    Nancy J.

    This was an amazing night out. Chrissy, our server, was a delight. The Choppin dirty martini with hand stuffed blue cheese olives (a must) was on point. They offer a Sancerre, a giant green flag, and the steak - black and blue (charred outside, medium rare inside) - was a perfectly marbled bone in ribeye with a dry age that more than came to play. The crab and truffle gnocchi was a lovely, if not rich, surprise and while I love that they offer a chimchurri I was surprised that it was in no way a highlight. The Cesar salad really is quite good, and we finished with an absolutely perfect end to the meal - butterscotch budino. Atmosphere is best closer to 5pm, by 7 this place is loud and packing them in. What a lovely meal and place to enjoy a celebration. Thank you to all for a wonderful experience.

    Katrina P.

    Absolutely amazing! The service was excellent, ambiance was fantastic and the food was prepared perfectly and was delicious. My absolute favorite was the crab cocktail. It tasted so fresh, nice size portion was paired very well with a Dijon mustard and cocktail sauce! The steaks and fish were cooked to order and were seasoned very well. Definitely on the pricier side however that is to be expected. Excellent quality comes at a premium and Blvd did not disappoint!!

I had to get use to sipping my margarita like a civilized person, rather than gulping it down. We started with the queso fundido. Too bad it cools so quickly and is so thick. It had a trio of salsas on top. And the chips are excellent. They brought us plenty of refills on chips. We ordered the salsa sampler. Three different salsas in tiny ramekins. All tasty, but usually Mexican restaurants give you salsa and chips for free. We had to spend $18. I had a chile rellano unlike any I have had before. A lot of black beans, a blistered chile and some cojita cheese sprinkled on top. I am used to a chile rellano filled with cheese. It was just okay. My husband had the carne aside. Basically a steak and roasted potatoes. Nice steak, but nothing Mexican about it. The potatoes were ordinary. Our guest ordered AGUACHILE DE CHAYOTE squash, pineapple aguachile, cilantro macho. She wanted a vegetarian option. This was a cold soup. She had no idea what she was getting. I guess we should have asked. All in all the menu is confusing. I have eaten Mexican food throughout LA and travelled extensively in Mexico, and this was all very new to me. They did tell us at the beginning that things were good to share. This would have been a good sharing dish with the chips. It was very unusual. The dessert flan was very tasty with pecans and a crispy churro like garish. We would have like a little more explanation on the menu of what we were ordering. Every item is unexpected and out of the ordinary. Daisy is a good place to go for a taste adventure, good margaritas and a hefty bill.

My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday for a quick drink before a movie, and the "vibe" was non-existent. They have four TVs at the bar, but the setup was bizarre, two were completely off and another was just frozen on a directory logo. The biggest issue, however, is the cleanliness--or lack thereof. The place is incredibly dirty. It feels like it hasn't had a deep clean in weeks, maybe longer. The bar top was disgusting, the floors were grimy, and even the woodwork looked like it hadn't seen a rag since opening day. They are charging $17 for "signature cocktails," which is bold for a spot that feels like a neglected dive bar. If you're going to charge premium prices, you have to at least wipe down the countertops. Service-wise, the bartender was friendly enough but low energy and minimal level of service. To make matters worse, a shift change happened while we were there, and the departing bartender made us close out our check and start a brand-new one with the next person. Why should the staff's administrative hand-off be the customer's issue? It's just unprofessional. The Valley has so many actual dive bars with character and plenty of high-end spots for a great cocktail; I'm not sure where this place is trying to fit in. It feels like someone bought it and just stopped caring. We won't be back.

    Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

Sherman Oaks is gritty and the section of Ventura Boulevard that houses TLP is almost brutalist in its anti-establishment aesthetic.

It is sandwiched between a completely non-descript place that I didn't even look at and a crystals shop with grafitti-etched windows (unfortunately!) but some really cool beads. Inside is the same -- no frills, a dress-down and survive-if-you-dare vibe. My pictures will illustrate what I mean.

Everything was delicious. The floor, tables, and chairs were all clean. There is some kind of post-apocalypse rhumba going on with the ceiling treatment. It is almost reverse-logic art with all the shading (stains? velour movement?) and utilitarian installation it reveals. Love the walls though, and the worn distressed wood everywhere (see the pix, folks). A bonus was watching the Masters (Patrick let us linger) and sitting by a giant window that was open to the street. Parking is up a block or so on either side. We always find safe spots in Sherman Oaks. The music seemed to be one CD of an unknown (to me) vocal artist and was pleasant. The crowd was friendly and the whole atmosphere was like one big homey grunge party. You know those mornings you fall out of bed and almost don't want to change out of your pajamas or yoga threds? This is the place to go. I loved it. (NOTE: You may have to refresh this page twice to see my pictures, for some reason. grrrrrr)

    My review has been long overdue. Had been to Osteria La Buca at least a dozen time's within the…read morepast year. Their food has been delicious, always Consistent, service is wonderful. Place is impeccably clean. Love their open kitchen, it's so neat to see their chefs working hard and diligently to make their food delicious. I love their slushy drink, so refreshing and tasty. It's not on the menu so you have to ask for it. Love their octopus appetizer (super tender, melt in my mouth), fried artichokes (light and airy) and squid ink seafood pasta. Their tiramisu has pieces of chocolate's, oh so delicious!!

    This review is a long time coming but I wanted to see first if the restaurant would right their…read morewrong...they did not. I made a reservation for Easter Brunch through OpenTable for me and my son. We got there about five minutes before our reservation at noon and the hostess told us to wait outside until they were open. Not a problem. HOWEVER, she never came back out to get us once they were open which was my first red flag because she left us waiting about 10 minutes past our reservation time. I go back inside to ask if we were going to be seated for our reservation and she asks under what name...mind you I was there before opening so she already had my name and time for reservation before no one else was there yet. The food itself was great but our service was absolutely terrible. We weren't checked on throughout the meal (again the restaurant was NOT crowded) and after completing our meal I realized the hostess deleted my reservation. For those who use OpenTable you know you get points for every completed reservation. I reached out privately to management first about my overall experience to hopefully rectify the issue. I wasn't looking for any incentives but that they at least train their wait staff better and resubmit my reservation in the system so I could both redeem my points and leave a review. It never happened. In an economy where everything is expensive just stepping outside I really value good service as well as good food. If the food is great but service is terrible I will never go back and this is that spot. Discrimination shows up in different ways and I will not patronize a business who blatantly does not show all of their customers the same level of respect and service. Posted pictures so you know I'm not a hater...food was great. Service was absolutely not it lol.

    This was my first time at Tipsy Cow, and I have mixed emotions. The atmosphere is casual and…read morefestive, with TV's playing sports and a varied crowd that includes daters, older couples, families and singles making the most of their weekend. There's music that's lively without being overbearing, and the staff is uniformly friendly. But... You have to order at the bar and, though they have runners to bring your food, you do have to hunt them down for anything after the delivery (extra ketchup, etc). While this isn't my favorite system at my age, to be fair, whatever the owners are saving on staff is reflected in the prices, which are absolutely below most places in the area for food that is good-quality and drinks that are generously poured. So yes, my wife's Espresso Martini was served in a deep-bellied Belgium beer glass, and my whiskey neat was a hefty pour. Yay!! For food, I ordered the Smash Burger, which is served with melted American, grilled onions and the house version of Russian dressing (as well as pickles, which I deleted). The burgers had a nice, smashed crust while remaining juicy, the cheese was properly melted, and the grilled onions had a terrific caramelized sweetness, while the house sauce was very well-balanced: ketchupy and creamy without being too mayonnaise-heavy. A very good smasher. My wife ordered the Big Texan Burger because she wanted cheddar and frizzled onions and BBQ sauce, though she deleted the bacon and pork belly that are normally included. This, too, was a very good burger: cooked to a proper and pleasing medium-rare and well-seasoned, with a good, fresh flavor to the beef. The onion rings were less successful, which are of the beer batter type, but seemed to be a commercial, frozen product. The coating was browned but not crisp, and the flavor was relatively nondescript. We didn't really eat them, and wouldn't order them again. And so, to me, The Tipsy Cow is a bit of a mixed bag: reasonably priced decent food and reasonably priced, generously-poured drinks -- but in a mostly self-serve environment that incrementally loses its appeal in relation to your age and your dining circumstances. Certainly worth a try, but you've gotta be in the right mood.
