The food and service were superior. The prices were reasonable. The menu was a great mix of interesting new dishes and old standards. All good! We loved the seafood dishes, the unique appetizers, and the duck. Great care has been given to the acoustics. It was delightful to be able to converse with our dinner companions. We will be back!

Not my first time, love everything which is why we go back unfortunately not always with a reservation. Steak always cooked to temperature and salads always have the perfect amount of dressing. Great job overall.

I recently dined here for brunch, and the service was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that our drinks were never empty and that every course arrived at the perfect time. What really stood out was the staff’s genuine enthusiasm and knowledge of the menu; they offered excellent recommendations and accommodated special requests with ease. Every detail was handled with care, making the entire experience feel personalized and special. Highly recommend for both the food and the impeccable service!

I have dined at Boulevard Five 72 occasionally over the past nine years. However, I have not been there for maybe a year. In the past the entree menu was extensive, and there were always a couple of daily specials. Tonight I was very surprised at how few entrees were on the written menu. The smallest steak option was 12 ounces, too much meat for the normal person to eat at one time. There were no entree specials. We were disappointed by how few options we had. I did not see a side salad on the menu but asked if I could order one. Yes, I could, so I asked for the house salad. It was lettuce- only lettuce, no cherry tomatoes, no cucumbers, nothing but lettuce with a tasty vinaigrette for $14. The service was prompt and pleasant, but I will not return because the menu is too limited and the food is no longer as tasty as it used to be. I think others feel as I do because around 8 p.m. on Saturday night, when we left, only four or five tables were occupied.
