The ambiance and service were good. I liked that it wasn't super noisy and I could hear my companion. The food, however, fell short. I was going to get the redfish till I inquired if it was wild caught or farm-raised. It is farm-raised. Really?!? We live in Louisiana and the dish is $38! Boulevard needs to make a change there. Instead I opted for the kale salad and a side of broccolini. The broccolini was hard and a bit biter. We did have the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer and that was delicious! I was surprised that the waitress brought the receipt without even asking us if we needed anything else. I think she was ready to leave as her shift must've been over. I won't be running back here anytime soon. I feel there are plenty better options in our area for a good meal. read more

I honestly don't know how the rating for this location is so low. This place is great! I have not one thing that I can complain about out in this review. Our Server Bailey, was so wonderful! She was helpful? Knowledge and truly the sweetest. We ordered several things, started with the House Salad. It was perfect! The dressing, the freshness of the ingredients, it was a 5 out of 5. We then ordered the Hot Honey Oysters with blue cheese sauce, from the happy hour menu. They were so good! Not too hot and full of flavor. We then had both the House Club Salad- (delicious) and the Tempura Chicken with the Bacon & Onion Potatoes (SO good!). The dishes really were both full of flavor and quality ingredients. We finished off with a Jalapeño Pineapple Mocktail as well as a Lemon Drop. Great ending to our meals. They got it right. All of it! These things, along with the upscale look, and the casual comfortable atmosphere was just that big extra taking it to amazing. We could literally find not one thing to add here as a negative. They got it right! Highly recommended! read more

Took my wife here for lunch after church and a late Valentine's Day celebration. They still had their Valentine's Day special, so we each got it. My wife had the Redfish and Shrimp dinner, The Redfish was blackened to perfection and the Shrimp was tender, not overcooked. I had the Prime Rib dinner, and asked for it Blue Rare. It was actually Blue Rare and one of the largest slabs of Prime Rib I have ever had at a restaurant. We both got the cheesecake for dessert and it was superb. We highly recommend Boulevard American Bistro in Covington read more

Came for brunch! Let me tell you, it's worth it! Delish food, good brunch drinks and friendly staff! I got the Bbq shrimp and grits, was wonderful! Hubs had eggs Benedict, and he was pretty happy as well, although he mentioned the hollandaise was a little too lemony for him, but overall enjoyed his meal. We enjoy going to boulevard for date nights so we switched it up for a morning brunch! We're glad we did! read more

We dinally decided to try this spot after being recommended months ago, the atmosphere service was on point. The Hawaiian ribeye is what we both chose to get, although mine was a bit too charred on the outside it was still yummy. What I've been thinking about is that mascarpone cheesecake. I need to take the drive for another slice. read more

I was craving their famous tempura battered chicken fingers so bad. I drove an hour just to have them. They are not anything like they used to be. They are soggy, chewy and the batter is nothing special. I wasted $28 on this when Caines would have been better. Take a look at the pic. Pathetic. Service was very lackluster too. My partners burger was not good either. Bummer all around read more

Stopped by on the way back to New Orleans for a late night meal and was pleasantly surprised! Around 9 PM, the restaurant was fairly empty for Friday night, but most people seemed to be vibing at the full & extensive bar. Brian was awesome at recommending dishes. I had the redfish with sautéed spinach. Man, that was a 10/10 decision. The fish was cooked perfectly and added a side of the lemon herb aïoli to go alongside the lemon butter & it was the perfect blend of flavor. Don't be deterred by the picture because the portion was actually very filling. Definitely looking forward to returning for the awesome happy hour or even brunch back in New Orleans! read more

My family and I frequently visit this restaurant. Today, we had a reservation for four people and encountered an issue with seating. Unexpectedly, my 85-year-old mother joined us, and our request for an additional seat was denied. The hostess offered to seat us at a booth, but she repeatedly stated that she couldn't accommodate five people on a four-person reservation. Despite accepting a booth, she continued to mention the tabletop seating. This was a disappointing experience, especially since we're frequent visitors. I'm not sure we'll be coming here in the future. We have supported this location through some not so good moments with food quality in the past, because the serving staff were quality individuals. Hopefully, the management will do a better job in providing customer service training to its hosting staff. P.S. I usually don't write negative reviews, but my wife and mother were upset, so I'm writing this one. read more

This is a very nice place. A little on the upscale side. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger. I really couldn't taste the bacon. It was very good and very expensive. $20.75 for a burger and fries. Again, very good and messy. Cooked perfectly, nice flavor, but the bun was no match for the burger. Towards the end it was mush. The service was iffy. It wasn't busy and I had to request the waitress to come to our table. I needed refills of tea and to get the check. It's not a problem when it's busy, but she seemed more occupied with the host and another waiter up front. read more

Alyssa was our server and she was fantastic! She recommended the crispy tempura chicken tenders and they did not disappoint. Will definitely be back! read more

The atmosphere is upscale and inviting, the staff is friendly and the drink specials are great

I frequently dine at the Elmwood location so was excited to dine here. Our first visit was dine-in and we had a great experience overall. The server was good and so was our food. I almost always order the French Dip sandwich and had no complaints. Fast forward, I've also ordered that sandwich for pick-up twice since. The first time = delicious. The second time, not so much. I arrived before the sandwich was ready and waited several minutes. The meat wasn't really warm and the cheese wasn't melted. It just wasn't good at all. It was a turnoff and I don't see myself returning to this location. read more

Not sure why this place has such a low rating but let me tell you.We had a fantastic time and enjoyed every bite of food every cocktail.Staff are friendly and engaging.Crab cakes and pork chop (thing is huge) were amazing.Great Old fashioned and spritzer.We were going to skip dessert but the way the server described it to us we couldn't miss out on the house made key lime pie,very glad we didn't. read more

Food, Service, and Ambiance are delightful. We went for Thanksgiving Dinner, and it was amazing!!!

Really good experience overall. The pork chop was amazing, and the espresso martini was one of the best I've had. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Our server Jeremy took great care of us and made everything easy. Will be back for sure! read more

Will never go back. Waitstaff, while nice were completely checked out. The food has gone downhill so bad since they have opened. Chicken fingers are soggy and greasy. Artichokes are wimpy. Presentation of the food is terrible and it's overpriced. Trying to be Houston's but it isn't. read more

Picked up food tonight for dinner, having heard decent things about this place. The food in inedible and unseasoned. My salmon burger was unflavored and I could barely eat a few bites. The French dip sandwich we took one bite and the after taste got worse with every chew and we both spit it out. I do not do reviews often, but save your money and taste buds and keep driving to literally anywhere else read more

It's OK. The price is not worth the product that you get. The bar is good, fun atmosphere in the bar, food is OK.

We sat at the bar, it was very busy. Only 2 bartenders were working and both seemed overwhelmed. Some dishes were broken, a bottle of liquor fell and broke- it was a bit chaotic. We were thanked for our patience, and they were working hard. We ordered the spinach dip which was delicious. We also ordered chicken tender salad, also very good. I prefer to go for happy hour, as the drinks are pretty expensive at regular price. read more

My wife and I had an early midweek dinner at Boulevard American Bistro in Covington. The Bistro transcends its strip mall exterior with a contemporary, but pleasantly warm, interior ambiance that is upscale, but comfortable. Service was friendly and efficient. It was happy hour and we each enjoyed a signature Old Fashioned that were quite good. We shared a barbecue shrimp appetizer, with toast points, in an excellent sauce that was exceptional. Following a good Caesar salad, I had the Shrimp pasta entree, which although very lightly seasoned, was tasty. My mate's entree was the signature crab cakes, which were the highlight of the evening. We lived for a number of years in Maryland, so we know our crab cakes, and she thought that these were some of the best she had ever had. Not spicy in the Baltimore Old Bay sort of way, but meaty, definitively seasoned, and rich. The price point for this delicacy is somewhat high, but the quality is first-rate. Her kale salad was very good too, and although not normally a huge fan of kale, she was impressed. We did not try desserts, but several appealing choices were offered. The Boulevard American Bistro is highly recommended. We will return. read more

I purchased a shrimp salad. It was very good. I recommend to everyone. The price is right.

Had dinner this evening very disappointed. Many enjoy Caesar salad. Dressing was horrible. Told waitress she said it is made on house and isn't always the same. Meal with 2 children having kids chicken and 2 chicken Caesar salads, 1 artichoke dip $91... expensive but when the quality is terrible??? read more

The server, Santana was GREAT. However, there were a couple of shortcomings. First they don't have Sweet Tea - I know that's my fault but it's my only pleasure as far as beverages go. Can't drink soft drinks or alcohol. But the primary thing I didn't care for was the ribs. They no longer have baby back ribs. The ribs they did have didn't cook long enough to cook the fat and tendons down. I was very turned off by having to chew through tendons and the taste was horrible. They were the WORST ribs I have ever eaten. I didn't say anything until after I paid the bill because I didn't want them to think I wanted something for free. However after I told the server this, I thought a manager would come talk to me. I was wrong. I Guess I can scratch them from future visits. read more

Atmosphere and service were the highlight. Food was very lacking in quality...not anything like it used to be...and was lukewarm at best. Very disappointing for a one hundred dollar meal. read more

No pics of the BBQ Shrimp or Crispy Tempura Chicken Tenders, but the shrimp are getting one of the "chef kiss" thingies; voila! I mean, wow, soooo good. The sauce was as good as you could expect or even ask for, and the shrimp had these perfect little charred edges that really elevated the plate and brought a whole new flavor profile to a rather traditional type dish. And the toasted bread points? They were, well, on point. Now, the Crispy Tenders had a LOT of potential, but they missed on the crispy part...luckily, the house-made bbq dipping sauce more than made up for it. This stuff was fruity and smoky and bright, not too sweet, and complimented the tempura battered tenders well. Properly crispy, this dish would have stood out, big-time. Still, the smoky sauce's companion was also delicious...a mild flavored aioli that added a creamy dimension to the dish. It was a hit, in our group, for sure. I had the prime rib, medium rare, with the kale and peanut salad. The prime rib was good. The cut was a little lean, but it was perfectly cooked. However, the salad stole the plate, y'all. Sweet and crunchy and peanutty and delicious, I can't wait to have it again... ...next time I'm getting it with the Hawaiian Ribeye, though. Rachel had this one and gave me a taste. This thing blew my prime rib outta the water. The flavors were just jumping outta everywhere! Charred, slightly sweet, lot of savory...and my adorable friend gave me a taste and the piece melted in my mouth. How good was it? Better than Petunia's crab cake, which was probably the best example of a crab cake I have ever tried. It was almost mystical how it held together, but tasted like it was allllll crab; sweet, fresh, amazing crab, set off by the toasted pieces of bread crumb that were there to enhance the experience, not cloud the taste of the crab. Had I not had a taste of the islands in that ribeye, the crab cakes would have been runner-up only to the salad. I know, I know...Robby, a salad? Rabbit food over meat??? Probably not, but oh my was it delicious. Try it for yourself, I wouldn't believe me either. When you get around to going, ask for Bri; friendly, witty, on time with the perfect recommendations, Bri commanded a terrific and fun experience for us with some of the best food around. If you're wondering why I didn't mention the shrimp pasta my buddy had, it's because he never said another word after it arrived...munch munch munch! read more

The ambiance amazing same with service. The food was not good. We ordered the crispy tenders the were pretty not crispy. The fish and grilled cheese looked very sad. No bread for grilled cheese just burger buns. My burger ok could have been better but I don't recomend unless you want soggy,dry, and too much cheesy food. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and very clean. The tuna and the salad were delicious! The steamed broccoli was unflavored, no butter, lots of Parmesan cheese. We were charged regular price for our Lunch Special. It took twice to embarrass myself to ask the waitress to correct the check. I will go back and hope it lives up to the great reviews. read more

Crabcakes are delicious, but have you ever heard of separate cups containers for the side dishes? Came to place a Togo order on a busy Friday night around 7:30 PM. Originally order corn curry, but they ran out and asked whoever I spoke to on the phone to give me what they recommend. Which was peas and carrots. When I got home, it was a sloppy mess in my to go order. I would think they would at least put it in aluminum for to keep everything separate, but everything was mixed together. The peas and carrot juice were soaked in my crabcakes as well along with my kale salad. For such a premium price I would think they could afford these useful items for to go order. read more

I waited patiently for over an hour for my dinner. Then the manager realized they packed my dinner to go and put it on someone else's table. The manager asked if I wanted it. I said, "no. I wanted my food on a plate and I don't know how long its been over there." She quickly turned angry and rude.Then she asked if I was going to pay for the bagged up food. I said, "no, I was never served food." She was extremely rude. I have never been treated so disrespectful at a restaurant. We left and enjoyed a great meal at Gallagher's. read more

Terrible. Went in there tonight with some longtime customers. They have been going there for years. Staff said they were being rude and would not serve them. Not true! I have also been going there for years, will not go back. Very poor management. At least 20 regular customers they ran off tonight . read more

7-1-22 My Husband & I went on our first date as a married couple lol . I've been to Blvd Bistro before and wanted him to try it out. They have a new location which is Covington,Louisiana. He made reservations prior to arrival which was easy to make. We walked in staff was polite and attentive. We gave our names and immediately got seated right away. Our server was sweet , she informed us about food & drink specials. We started off with the Crispy Chicken Tempura Strips appetizer 10/10 and it came with fries. For our entrees we both had The Fire Roasted Chicken , I added a side of broccoli. Our mashed potatoes weren't hot , the chicken was seasoned well to my liking. I would give it a 8/10 my husband rated his food a 6/10. We will really like to try again just wished the food was fresh & hotter. read more

Great brunch. Amazing drinks and service. We went to the one on the Northshore in Covington.

Lunch wedding Anniversary date, we enjoyed the atmosphere, the awesome waitress, and the food was real good. Each had drinks side car for the wife and glass of red wine for me. I enjoyed my crab cake dinner so much it was solid crab meat not breaded much at all. The price reflected what you got in quality and quantity! Enjoyed will recommend to others looking for a casual but classy atmosphere. read more
