We spent our 22nd Wedding Anniversary at Boulevard Steakhouse. (so, no photos, to just focus on our time together). Celina was our waitress and she was wonderful. When we made our reservation we noted our anniversary and asked for a small booth if possible. We were given a small corner booth in the back room and it was just perfect! The ambience was fantastic, quiet rat-pack tunes, not a lot of noise otherwise. Beautifully appointed room, and so nice to be at a restaurant that actually has table linens as it feels like it's more and more difficult to find these days. I didn't feel out of place dressed up (though there were plenty of people in jeans --SMH, come on Oklahoma peeps!-- which is such a shame...)
Not only had they laid our table with rose petals but they also left a lovely Anniversary card for us as well. They start you off with Sourdough bread.. It was not very sour but it was fresh and crsip (tip, it comes to the table very hot but it will be much easier to cut and not turn your inside gooey if you let it cool a bit before trying to cut. The butter that comes along has what I believe is black Himalayan salt just sprinkled on top... do not miss grabbing some of that, so good.
We both had steaks, my husband the filet and the ribeye for myself, both were very good. The sides are ala cart family style, so we ordered just two to share. The potatoes au gratain and the parmesan asparagus were both delicious and well done. ALL of our food came out piping hot and wonderful too (I really don't enjoy when my food isn't actually HOT! so I pay attention to this and this was the hottest food I can recall having in years!! perfect!) Steaks were cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully to just be able to taste the steaks. We like ours plain so did not opt for any of the toppings, though i may go back and get a filet sometime Oscar. Everything was cooked as it should be.
We both opted for dessert instead of apps or wine or anything else that would fill you up more quickly. I got the seasonal Lemon Cake with bluberries, cream, and Ice cream Celina said it was good and it really really was, I could not finish as the rest of the meal filled me up too much but the leftover was just as good the next night! The coffee was also delicious, just ordered plain, but as many of you know there is a wide range of drinkability in plain coffee. My husband wanted something lighter and opeted for the crème brûlée which was traditional, though they topped it with strawberries and blueberries, the brûlée was beautifully done! Just the right thickness and crispness.
The service was professional yet relaxed and not super snooty. Nicely paced, and incredibly attentive to water and clearing of dishes.
Yes, you are gonna spend over $200 for a meal like this, but for a quality meal, especially on a celebration night, it can be worth it. There were other pates that were full meals and closer to the $35-$50 mark if you want the experience without as much expense.
The only think noted was we had not tried it yet as it is very unassuming from the outside facade, so don't let that fool you!!
We will gladly spend our next celebration meal at Boulevard. read more
