    The food was fantastic—really fresh and an overall great experience. However, I wish they hadn’t begun cleaning and closing the restaurant two hours before closing time. It made us feel rushed during our meal, especially when they started sweeping under our tables. Despite this minor inconvenience, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be returning.

    We really enjoyed this place with friends. The food was very good and the service was outstanding. We appreciate that Paco is always present in his restaurants. This was our first time here but we have been to Vargas a few times. We will return to Rudy and Paco again. Their crab bisque was wonderful.

    Once again BLVD was fantastic. Two of our favorite dishes, the salmon and linguini with shrimp were fabulous again. These two dishes are really exceptional. I'm not a regular salmon eater but the salmon here is so good I keep ordering it. The scallop appetizer was wonderful with a little acid added by the blue cheese and balsamic. Service was spot on and the manager and chef are always visible and available. This is the best moderately priced restaurant in Galveston.
