Blvd Bistro

I went there on a Friday night specifically to see Greginald Spencer perform. He's a great singer who covers all your favorite R&B artists. The show was fantastic and one of the things I like most about seeing this guy perform is that he always lends away to other artists in the band or in the audience. So we had a lot of special treats. Aside from the show, everything was five star from the minute I walked in. The hostess, Pat was so nice and sweet and welcoming. She led me to my seat and I was greeted by Jamal the bartender who has unimaginable skills! My dinner was the catfish dinner of fried catfish, collard greens and potato salad. Let me just say that was the best fried catfish I ever had in my life and the collard greens were extraordinary! Everything was great service food atmosphere entertainment all five star. If you're wondering where to go on a Friday night look no further than Boulevard Bistro in Harlem at 116th. I would warn you reservations are highly recommended and the earlier in the week you get them the better. You won't be sorry. For some real Mississippi style soul food and some great R&B live performance this is where you need to be on Friday night in nyc!

The Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes I ordered was delicious.😋 This drink my son order really compliments the Blueberry pancakes. Our waitress was outstanding i forgot her name. It was around 15 guests and her patience was amazing along with other waiters in the restaurant. I highly recommend. We had a great time. Thank you

I visited this restaurant yesterday for my friend’s birthday. First off the DJ was DJing the music was loud and interactive which I loved. Our reservation was for 5:30pm but we didn’t get seated until 7pm. The male hostess did communicate and over the people waiting a glass of champagne. So now at 7pm we’re seated and again another 20 minute wait for our server. The same hostess did pay for the first round of our drinks. When Rain our waitress came she was great. She was apologetic for having us wait and very attentive to us. The food was amazing and I have nothing negative to say about it. Overall the experience was okay. We waited a lot but they did try to make up for it. I do believe they need to enforce the 90 minute seating limit or extend it and change reservations times. Because to wait almost two hours with reservations is ridiculous.

I visited Blvd Bistro in October 2023. Be sure to make a reservation as this place was packed when we arrived. I noticed people standing and waiting for hours who didn’t have a reservation. Upon entry I was greeted by the host and we were seated within minutes. The place has a great vibe to it. I love the decor in the place. The DJ was on point kept people up on their feet dancing. Our waitress was Destiny. She was very friendly. There is a QR code on the table in which you use to view the menu. We ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and stuffed salmon. It took forever for our food to come out but when it did it was piping hot and delicious. I was skeptical of order the lamb chops as I feared it wouldn’t be seasoned or cook well. Let me tell you I’m glad I was proven wrong. The lamb chops were so delicious. As I’m writing this review, I’m reminiscing over the taste. I also tried the lemon cake and ice cream which was also delicious. The restaurant just needs to improve their wait time. Give this place a try. It’s also accessible via public transportation. I can’t wait to get back here to taste more entrees.

We had a 12:30 reservation, and waited about ten minutes to be seated. It was crowded and the deejay was setting up. The staff are all very nice. I had the catfish dinner, my sister had the brioche french toast, and my friend had the shrimp and grits. We also ordered the moonshine. My first plate I sent back because the fish was not to my liking, but they immediately brought me out another plate that was just fine. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend them for brunch, but if you want to enjoy the deejay come after 2pm. He was jamming as we were leaving 😞

Came here on Saturday around 1pm and it was really busy. Loved the vibes, DJ was a nice touch, and just beautiful black people everywhere—how could you not enjoy. However, we sat at the bar and ordered at 12:50 and the food didn’t come out until 1:50 :/ everyone around us was getting their meals in less time so I’m not sure what exactly happened. General Manager sent out two baskets of biscuits to make up for it and ultimately gave us a 30% discount. Luckily, the butter with the biscuits and the BLVD wings made up for it. Based off service, I probably would not come again, but worth a try if you have never been.
