Excellent service, good wine list, perfect steaks (according to my bf since I don't eat red meat), and the salads here are delicious!

Great atmosphere, great food, excellent staff. The service is top notch. Overall the prices are a little expensive but with a Groupon voucher I believe the experience is well worth the money and I highly recommend giving it a try.

I was initially a little hesitant to come here, because of the mixed reviews I had read. Upon entering however, we were greeted by a friendly, professional staff who seated us promptly, and attended to our needs very adequately without hovering over us. We ordered the ribeye, which was excellent. All my concerns were washed away, and overall, the evening was very pleasant. Some of what you pay for is ambiance, but the restaurant certainly delivers. I would highly recommend that you come to Boulevard Steakhouse.

We were very disappointed with this restaurant. The service was horrible - our waiter basically ignored us and it took 15 minutes to get a drink. We all ordered steaks, of course, but they were all overcooked and way too peppery, The mashed potatoes were lukewarm at best. To top it off, it was very expensive. We would never return to this place!

Best steakhouse in Edmond, top-5 in OKC area. The service is good at what they do, they just don't have the depth that elite steakhouse waiters do. Food-wise, they have a great menu and I've never been disappointed with the cut or the temperature of the steak. I've been about 5 times, and I get the feeling that this place will satisfy you 90% of the time...which is pretty good for OKC. What this place has going for it is its atmosphere. The music, decor, connecting bar, lighting, etc. Trust this place for a great experience overall. If you have a large diverse group, everyone will like the place for different reasons.

The medium rare filet mignon was very well executed. Love the intimate and romantic atmosphere, and the Frank Sinatra music playing in the background. Had a great experience here.

The food has been very good every time I have dined here. Tonight I got the steak special. 10oz filet, topped with compound butter, twice baked potato and cinnamon carrots. The steak was excellent, but the carrots were bland and cold. The potato was average. It may be a matter of preference, but for the same money The Ranch has been more consistent. Either way you can't go wrong and will get a fine meal you will remember.

Went with the bf who is a steak monster. He ordered an $80 piece of meat, it has to be amazing right?! Nope it was sub par, cooked well though. I had shrimp on toast ( cant remeber the actual name). It was good but not for the price. Mushrooms were ok and again not for the price. Bread was good, but we spent $200, everything should have been great. Wont be back

We spent around 150 the other day. My boyfriend had steak and I had salmon. The service is horrible. The food is alright nothing special or amazing. My boyfriend had diarrhae after dinner. We believed that there was something wrong with the steak.

My husband and I went for Valentines day and had really high expectations for this place. The quick story: Pros-- great bar, nice atmosphere, the servers/management were fairly attentive and caring Cons-- THE FOOD.... I expected a high end steak to go with the high end atmosphere... It was tough.. Barely seasoned.. And just disappointing Mashed potatoes had no flavor and the Lobster Mac and cheese was covered in sharp cheddar and was just well... Bad. I was shocked... Bottom Line: go to Micky mantles or red prime steakhouse if you would like an amazing steak and sides to accompany the price and atmosphere

I was here for a networking dinner in the Martini Lounge. I had somewhat high expectations for this place and I feel that is was just average because of the food. Our private party had excellent service, but I felt that the food could have been better. There was a buffet that had meatballs, lasanga, bread sticks, caesar salad and also some veggies and cheeses. All of the food was okay but nothing special. I feel like their menu is probably better than what was presented here so I'd be willing to go back for a normal dinner and see how it is. I really loved the atmosphere in the Martini Lounge, though. Very romantic and cozy!

Boulevard Steakhouse only costs an arm and a leg, but on our visit last week I didn't feel cheated. The restaurant has an intimate atmosphere, almost old-fashioned but it hasn't quite tipped all the way over yet. (We were asked which room we were dining in by one of the hostesses, which made me laugh on the inside.) Our steaks were perfectly cooked and flavorful, though the side dishes were surprisingly bland. Garlic potatoes do need butter and garlic, but they also need salt. I REALLY appreciated the great service we received. I was looking for a quiet night out with my wife, and the servers noticed this and became steakhouse ninjas, taking care of drinks, etc., with minimal intrusion and never interrupting. When I did need something, I needed only raise my head and was well taken care of. It was so pleasant we ordered dessert, which the scrooge in me almost never allows me to do. I can't say it's the best steakhouse I've ever been to, but it's up there and a fine addition to Oklahoma City. Worth the visit to be sure.

Tenderloin was good! Ribeye was mediocre but the mushroom wine sauce was delicious ! Overall it's a nice restaurant with good steaks but way overrated. Definitely not a friendly restaurant!

Amazing!!!! I was pleasantly surprised. We went to Oklahoma for the weekend to attend a wedding and we looked for a steakhouse that has high ratings from customers. That brought us to Boulevard steakhouse. It was better than we expected. The restaurant plays Sinatra all night. It has a romantic and intimate feel throughout the restaurant. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We sat at the bar because we did not have a reservation, but we were given as much attention as the ones that are on the tables. The steak was sublime and very tender. Next time we visit Oklahoma, this is definitely a place that we will visit again and again.

One of the best places I've been to in OKC. GREAT MEAT.. Great preparation. I asked for cream of corn and eventhough they didn't have it they tried to make it for me. Obviously it wasn't the greatest thing there but I appreciated it. Steak was goood THE SALAD WAS AMAZING...This s the only place in OKC where I was able to have fresh vegetables in my salad and It was good.. I had the followings: spinach salad . the one with strawberries Fillet Mashed Potatoes Cream of corn And everything was great .... they get 4 out of 5 cause I've had better

This was my first visit to the Martini Lounge. Parking was pretty limited. Once you walk in, the lighting inside is low so be careful walking around. We had drinks and appetizers. Prices are reasonable for higher middle to upper class clients. We had a martini and 7 Crown Royals with water which came out to $82. Appetizers were okay. Between veggies, chicken wings, chips and salsa, you can find something. I gave them 3 stars because (1) food was left on the floor which caused some of the patrons to almost slip and fall and (2) service was a little slow. I would give them another try, but for drinks only post dinner elsewhere.
Totally ruined date night. $85 for chewy escargot, under seasoned lobster bisque, average Caesar salad and 2 drinks. We couldn't eat our steak as it came out medium-well instead of the medium-rare requested. We did not have time to wait for a redo, as a minor emergency came up during dinner. Needless to say, we will not be returning as the chef, expeditor, and server should all be ashamed for sending out a $44 filet in that condition.

So so good! Went for my boyfriends and I's one year anniversary, and it was so insanely good. We both got steak and split the Key Lime Pie... incredible! We also had a wonderful waiter and I wish I would've gotten his name so he could be properly credited.

My Honey brought me here for a date night and its now our favorite steakhouse!!! He had steak and it was amazing!!! (Well of corse I had to have a bite!!) He said it was the best steak he had ever had. It was so tender! I normally take my steak well done, and he got his medium well. I almost didn't taste it because nothing is ever cooked enough for me. BUT, even with a hardly pink center it was soooooo good!!! I had lobster! It's my weakness, I order it any time I have the opportunity. My family is from the East coast and I have had lobster fresh out of the ocean since I was a very young girl! That being said, this lobster was delicious! Just melted in my mouth. I didn't even use any butter. I took a bite and just closed my eyes because I wanted to savor every second of deliciousness. I could smell the saltwater and feel sand between my toes when I tasted it! Spectacular!!!! The sides were the perfect portion! Some expensive steak places bring u the tiniest sides because that isn't what you go there for. However, Boulevard seems to specialize in EVERYTHING!!! Salads were full of fresh, crisp veggies! Sides were generous & filling! Beer & wine was perfect temperature! The wait staff!!!! Ohhhhh the wait staff!!! The last time we went, our server was training someone. And the server in training was genuinely better than any server on their own at any other restaurant I have ever been to! It seems that they commit the entire menu to memory! Compete with knowledge on everything they are spouting off! They know what the food is! They can liken it to things you will be familiar with. Describe texture, smell & taste! I was blown away! It was like I had eaten it before my meal ever arrived to the table! The setting is very romantic. We have only ever been in the evenings. The tables seem private, though you're surrounded by others. I'm not sure how they do that. It's as though there is an invisible forcefield separating you from all of the other diners!! Expect to spend some money when you come here. I'm not taking any stars away for this, because it's worth every penny! A couple of hours of solitude for our tastebuds to dance while my sweetheart looks adoringly upon me...I'll throw down a Franklin or 2 for this experience! It's an absolute treat!

Sad. Used to be such a good place. Party of 7. 5 of us got steaks. 2 got fish. 4 steaks were cooked wrong & 1 fish was dry. After waiting for as long as we did, we honestly didn't feel like fighting it. Waiter was courteous, but really lacked in his job duties. Wrong plates to some of us & just basically felt like we could swap them out. Same with the sides. Water girl was excellent or I fear we'd have run out of drinks. And 2 pieces of bread, which you can cut into 4's, for a whole meal is just a lack of attention. I'm just saying if you spend $75-$100 per person (and that's with a couple drinks) you should expect better service and better food preparation. Can't say that I'd choose to return here as my personal choice as there's too many nice steakhouses in town today to have to beg.

I've gone to Boulevard Steakhouse and always had a rather good experience. This time, however, was dismal at best. My guest received a beautifully prepared meal, their chicken dish was lovely for her. I opted to choose on of their specials, usually in a reasonable price range however this particular special ended up being over $100. The reason this experience was dismal was for two reasons. 1) The potatoes that accompanied my dish were burnt. 2) When I notified the staff, the manager approached me and said that he would "have that taken care of" on my bill, however when I received my bill there were no changes made. I do not care much for the manager to remove anything from my bill, either way it doesn't matter, but if you are going to approach me and say that you will I would hope that you would stick to your word. Unfortunately I doubt I will return to Boulevard Steakhouse because of this experience.

Bret S.
Extremely overrated. This place is very expensive but the does not deliver the value. The service was slow and food only average. Three of the four steaks at our table were not prepared properly. I ordered my $40 filet medium and it was too well done which ruined the flavor. My daughter also order her's medium and it came out almost rare, so she had to wait while it was sent back. That is totally unacceptable at place that charges these prices. It's like teengagers were cooking the meals. The creamed spinach was dry - just awful. Save your money and skip this place.

I love this place, and can't say enough good things about it. It's expensive, yes, but the service is the best I've ever experienced, the food is always perfect, and it's worth all the fuss. We are not fancy people, but we enjoy spoiling ourselves once every few years with a trip here for a special occasion. It's a solid 5! The wine list is expansive, and seems reasonably priced for a restaurant. They have a lot of higher end wines that most places don't carry. They have a pretty big selection for by-the-glass, and half-bottles if you don't want to buy a whole bottle. The atmosphere may seem a little stuffy, but I promise you, you won't care when you experience the food and level of service, because, really, it's not stuffy at all. Even on our first trip when we were young and naive, we were treated with the utmost respect and the waiter was happy to explain terms and dishes to us. If you are one of those that avoids fancy places (that's me!), don't let that stop you, and give Boulevard a try. Be warned: They scrape the tables, place napkins in your lap, etc., but get over it, and enjoy the whole experience. You won't be disappointed! The food is perfect. I've never had a steak come out wrong. It's flavorful, not salty, tender, and everything you expect from a steak. I've only had beef entrees, but I've heard the Grilled Salmon is really good. Sides are al la carte, and served family style. The Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Au Gratin Potatoes, and Lobster Macaroni are my favorites. Be sure to save room for dessert! Bananas Boulevard is their specialty. It's big enough to share, but you probably won't want to. The chocolate Lava Cake, Boulevard Brandy Ice, and cheesecake are also quite good. And from the appetizers, the Cajun Tournedoes and Crab Cakes are delicious! I had the cheese plate at a party, and it was a huge hit. The black cherry compote is a perfect pairing. There is also a lounge/bar on the south side of the restaurant that connects. I've never been, but it was quite loud when we passed through, and the crowd seemed to really be enjoying themselves. At a group dinner party, the room we were in connected, and it was off-putting how loud it was. The restaurant itself if very quiet and intimate.

Chose to celebrate our 21st wedding Anny here after being introduced to this wonderful steakhouse by some friends. The atmosphere in the main dining area is romantic. Our server Marion was superb. They have a nice wine selection which we enjoyed very much. The show stopper was the bone-in blackened ribeye. All I can say it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had.

I was fortunate enough to win dinner for two at Boulevard at a raffle drawing at the Yelpies, but we will definitely be back. It lived up to the reputation. The restaurant is good-sized, but it has a very cozy atmosphere with the restaurant split up into smaller rooms. The service was great, and the food was phenomenal. We had a bottle of the Boulevard Cabernet and it was great. I am usually not a fan of Cabs because I like a lighter wine, but this one was a pretty light Cab and I enjoyed it. We started out with the crab cakes, which were perfect consistency - a little bit of crisp but not overloaded with breading. The flavor of the crab was strong and delicious. I had a filet and my boyfriend had the bone-in strip, and we shared sauteed spinach and the green chile mac. I have not had a fancy dinner in quite some time, and that filet was cooked to a PERFECT medium rare. It was amazing. Beautiful and red all the way through with a little bit of crisp on the outside. So. Good. The macaroni was delicious too; I'll definitely be having the leftovers for lunch this week. We finished up with the bananas Boulevard... we were choosing between that and the creme brulee, and I am so glad we went with the bananas. It was a lot like a bananas foster, but better than any bananas foster I've ever had. The caramelized bananas, caramel sauce and ice cream were all amazing enough on their own, but it was seriously one of the best desserts I've ever had. Thanks so much to Yelp and Boulevard for the fabulous experience! It is definitely on our list of fine dining restaurants when we're in the mood. My boyfriend and I have both worked for the Hal Smith Restaurant Group so are very partial to Mahogany because we get spoiled there because we know a lot of the staff, but I thought Boulevard was just as good, and that dessert might have put them past Mahogany in my book. I'm sure we'll be back!

Fantastic service, top quality food and presentation. Don't let the outside of this place fool you. Inside its like a classic Chicago steakhouse. I had the ribeye which was cooked perfectly and the sides like spinach, creamed corn, mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes were excellent. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner. Good bar also that makes a perfect martini and they have a decent wine list. This is a special occasion place so it's spendy but they deliver in my opinion. I would go here again if given the opportunity.

My Grandson and his wife took my wife and I there for my birthday (12-23). The food was fantastic service was good. It was a cold night and we were seated in terrible draft. Every time the front door opened we would get a fresh taste of winter. I tried to stay warm by removing my jacket and placing it around my legs. This however did not work. When staff were notified of the discomfort they did nothing and offered no solution. There were empty booths available that were not in the draft however we were not allowed and or offered to move. This was our first visit and again the food was great. However it is very hard to enjoy the evening getting a blast cold air every ,time the door opens. This could have been fixed but it wasn't.

We ventured here a few weeks ago for a really fun birthday party for my soon-to-be sister-in-law. I host lots of parties and reserve lots of private rooms, but this may be the best deal in town, especially if you're just providing food and people are on their own for drinkies. Let me say that this is a perfectly lovely way to host a birthday party for a loved one, giving everyone a chance to get together without the host having to sell an organ to pay for it. The spread was outstanding: delicious and good-sized sliders on fresh rolls, calamari, shrimp cocktail, fruit and veggies. Plenty of food that you didn't need to eat somewhere else before or after. Since I'm close to the host (my fiance's bro) I didn't mind asking him how much. The shrimp added a bit to the cost, but overall it sounded like it was around $300 for about 40 people. There was no charge for the private room, and eventually they opened up the doors so we could hear the live band playing. The atmosphere is dark, sleek, sophisticated and sexy. The service was excellent, and our tabs for drinks were fairly reasonable, especially since it felt like a really fancy night out for us but didn't cost an arm and leg. What's with all my body-part selling metaphors? Too much Walking Dead, perhaps?

For a restaurant on the higher end of the quality spectrum--at least for Edmond--Boulevard is really great. When I came here, I brought a large group celebrating graduation. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the cooking process. He was present when we needed him and absent when we didn't. That's always how I judge good waiting. I enjoyed a perfectly cook medium rare fillet, Pittsburgh style. It was easily among the better steaks I have had. (And I've had good steak.) I was blown away. They also have a diverse, clever array of appetizers and wines. The prices are relatively high, but that was expected. It's hard to say how much we spent this one night, especially after our third or fourth bottle of wine! I can say it was a great dining experience, and I will return. For a cheaper version of Boulevard, go next door to Cafe 501. It's owned by the same people and has the same, intimate atmosphere.

I made my first visit to Boulevard Steakhouse the other night for a business dinner. The space is beautiful and well-appointed, just like you'd expect in an upscale steakhouse. Lots of dark wood, subdued lighting, and wine everywhere. We sat by ourselves in what I'd call a "wine room" (the walls were lined with wine storage cabinets). Our server was friendly and attentive, if a little tongue-tied on some menu descriptions (it was just one of those days for him; I'm merely making an observation, not a criticism). We ordered wine (twice, because they didn't have the first choice; that shouldn't happen, Wine Director!) and apps, then our main courses. The appetizers and salads were very well done. Delicious, sizable servings, and beautiful plates. We had the calamari (tender and moist with a delicate breading) as a table, then I had the Steakhouse Salad (a chopped salad in a creamy vinaigrette). Both were excellent. As you would expect in a steakhouse like Boulevard, steak are a la carte, meaning when you order a steak, you get a steak on a plate. Therefore, remember that you'll need to order sides for the table. Also remember to under-order. The server can always get extra sides to the table quickly, but won't take an extra $10 order of asparagus off the bill if you don't eat it. So, everything is fine up to this point, but then comes the reason I can't glowingly recommend this place: my steak was over-aged and cooked poorly. Now, I managed high-end steakhouses in a former life, so I know a little something about red meat. This strip I got (and I prefer strip steaks for flavor vs. the marbling in ribeyes or the blandness of a filet) was cooked okay from a temperature standpoint, but had little to no crust on the surface. It was like they cooked in an oven, and it wasn't pleasant. The age REALLY came through; it was funky and mealy. I ate it, and didn't say a word. You can't really say anything (or at least you SHOULDN'T say anything) at a business dinner when something is bad. We didn't do dessert, but it looked like they had some nice choices. So, thus ended the meal. Boulevard got a lot of things right, and given the opportunity I'll return. However, when you're a steakhouse, the steak should be front and center. That was not the case on this occasion. Here's hoping that it was merely an anomaly.
Two stars here and let me tell you why. Before I start I just want to say this review could change easily because I will be going back to try and see if I can be wowed here. Been to this establishment twice now and have been disappointed with the execution of the food both times. I will say that here service is king and the entire staff takes great care to make sure you are happy and will not let you down with poor service. Management staff is attentive and strives to ensure you are happy with the entire dining experience. So the not so good now...... all I wanted was a medium-rare ribeye. A wonderful cut of meat that when properly cooked will rival any cut of meat. When it is ill prepared it turns in to shoe leather with no flavor. My first time in I sat at the bar and ordered my ribeye which is labeled as USDA Prime beef, to order this any more than medium rare would be a crime. 3 times, it took 3 times of it being sent back to get it right and when I got the steak how it was ordered it was magnificent. I do need to stipulate here, I didn't send it back the 2nd and 3rd time, the first I did because it was over cooked. The 2nd time it was over cooked and the 3rd times it was seared but ice cold in the middle. The manager came over and apologized and gave me her card asking if I would please come back and give them another chance, no problem. The second time in was for business and had customers who I consider friends with me. Service was amazing, appetizers amazing, drinks were great.......and now about the 2nd chance ribeye. I do not doubt that this place orders USDA Prime beef, but I think someone lied to them about what was sent on the days beef order. Once again medium rare turned in to medium and it went back per the server, I was prepared to eat the steak but the server insisted they could get a new steak right out. two minutes later I had a new steak. The new steak had no season, was extremely chewy, and had a ribbon on hard fat going through the center that made it hard to eat all together. Desert and coffee finished the meal and once again the manager came over and asked how everything was, I told her and she took care of the issue. Now here comes the real reason for two stars. I have worked in steakhouses all around the country and have eaten at let's say 50 different steakhouses. When I see USDA Prime I know how much that steak will cost to buy from a meat purveyor and put on to a plate for a customer to enjoy. This place over two visits has wasted what I would guess to be 5 pounds of steak to get one out that was exactly how I ordered it. I hate to see good food wasted so please just take your time and get it spot on the first time. I will happily wait for the good stuff, where I get upset is when I wait three times as long for something that is pretty simple. Like I said I will be back, and yes I will order a medium rare ribeye, I know this place can be 5 stars I just need to see the proof.

I would give this place only one star, if it wasn't for the service. The service was excellent, but the food was not worth the price. Our meal was $220 for 2 people and it wasn't worth half this, except for the wine. They have a wonderful wine selection. The lobster bisque was salty and was strange tasting. The filet mignon was tough. The spinach was great, but, again, wasn't worth the price. There is nothing special about this restaurant. Save your money.

I get shipped out to some obscure places for work sometimes. This time it was Langston Oklahoma. So I ended up staying in Edmond which is halfway between Oklahoma City and Langston. As I was driving to my hotel I passed Boulevard. Now I hate eating out by myself but in situations like this you gotta make do. So after I check in and unpack I head over to get myself dinner. When I walk i'm greeted by the hostess and ask for a seat at the bar. I'm taken to this mini booth (seats 2) and am immediately greated with a glass of water and huge loaf of, of fresh piping hot, super tasy sourdough bread. I think I could have made a meal out of the bread and butter alone. Since this was a steak place I had to test the bar by getting my usual NY cut medium rare and a side of sauteed spinach. The steak came out perfectly cooked with a simple seasoning of sea salt, pepper and butter (I'm not sure what they feed the dairy cows there but this butter is fantastic). Spinach was also perfectly blanched/sauteed. To top it off the service was spectactular. They even gave me tips on things to do in Oklahoma CIty (ended up catching the Hornets/Rockets NBA game). The price is up there (even compared to Bay Area standards) but the experience and quality are worth it and you''ll probably have enough left over for a 2nd small meal. If you ever are in Oklahoma City make the drive up to Edmond and give Boulevard a try.

Yes my friends - there is more than corn in Oklahoma From the minute you walk in the door you feel like you belong to an intimate and exclusive dining club. Even the small hand painted note on the front door reads "Sinatra Spoken Here". The front door is blacked out and the blinds are always closed. The feeling is deep and intimate, but the big band and swing jazz music in the background is always at the perfect level to create a light buzz in the air. The Steakhouse must seat 200 at a given time, but it is broken up so well that the tones of intimacy always overshadow the crowd. I always arrive early to enjoy a great wine from the bar. I believe that they have a selection of more than 700 wines and spirits. I have never been disappointed. The wait staff teams your table to ensure constant attention is being provided. The food - all I can say is that it is always well prepared, fresh, and delicious. My two favorites are the Charred salmon served on a cedar plank and the 20oz. Blackend Cowboy Cut Bone In Rib-eye. Ok ok, of the 12-20 times I have been there I have had the salmon once and the Rib-eye the other. IT IS THAT GOOD. I travel constantly for business and consider myself a beef expert - '), and I rate this cut and taste on the top of my list!!! So, when you are done, slip through the side door and you enter the Martini Lounge. This is a cigar friendly, large bar with over stuffed, hi-back elegant chairs, loveseats and tapestries. During the weekend this is one of the places to be in north Oklahoma City. As always if you have any questions contact me!

At the moment, lucky for me I'm a wealthy young man, but I don't look rich. And sometimes when I go out to nice places I get treated like dirt. Such is the case at Boulevard Steakhouse, where I took a girlfriend for Valentine's Day. Our waitress had on purple nail polish, was younger, and forgot my girlfriend's drink order. She didn't come around much and our water glasses sat empty on our table for most of the evening. At least the person I called to make the reservation wasn't so judging. It's hard to get a seat on 14 Feb. Great wine, and big fat juicy steaks. This place is catering to a much more mature crowd, but still a great restaurant. Very classy and very stylish inside. I loved the dimly lit dark ambiance. We had a good time, because we always have a good time. Regardless of waitress' disrespect, I left a fat tip to show her that you can't judge a book by it's cover... fuckers

We went here with a groupon on our anniversary and it was incredible! Eric was wonderful. It was a fantastic dinner. Steak was cooked perfectly and tender enough to eat with a fork. And the service...this was not dining out, Eric made this an experience. Multiple courses, we were never rushed, altogether fantastic. The ambience, food, and service were incredible. They gave us our dessert because it was our anniversary! We really enjoyed it. Will be back to celebrate our next special occasion. If you go get the Bananas Boulevard. Scrumptious! And we have enough wonderful leftovers for another meal. It was pricey but worth every penny.

Went here for our anniversary and was very disappointed. I have ate a lot of steaks and this one wasn't good. We were there on Monday maybe the good chef only works on weekend. I had a blackend bone in ribeye and it was more than blackend it was burnt. It had at least eighth inch char on each side. Also had au gratin potatos and they were undercooked and crunchy. The mushrooms were very bland and plain. We had the velvet cake it was DRY an tasted like flavored pound cake. It stuck in your mouth and luckily we had got coffee that helped wash it down. We will not be back!

Good steaks and great sides. My only complaint was we were asked to move tables right after they set us down b/c a regular had walked in and we were at his table. My wife was mad b/c it was my birthday, but I told her to just relax and have a good time. They moved us to the back and put us next to the fireplace. The service was awesome, and we were comped most all of our food except for our alcohol.

A hidden gem in the bedroom community of Edmond, OK. An excellent wine list with some real values, my only disappointment being the occasional lack of availability of some selections. Wines are kept under temperature control, and are served in Reidel Bordeaux or Montrachet glasses. I can live with that, though a Burgundy stem being available would cheer this wino right up. Steaks are outstanding and properly prepared. Sides are steakhouse sized, and the desserts are wonderful. The bar is well stocked, and professionally staffed. My only misgiving is that in several visits, the attending staff at the table was young, and rather clueless about nuances of fine dining. There doesn't seem to be a strong floor presence, so brought my own. The restaurant is nonsmoking, but there is an adjacent lounge that permits smoking.

Finest restaurant in Edmond. Steakhouse compares to the few great steakhouses in OKC metro. Some prefer Boulevard to the rest. This meal will cost you but very delightful. Great environment.

PHENOMENAL. This place is a classic in Edmond and so good. I love the atmosphere which is perfect for dates or old people birthday parties (very dark and mysterious). They also have live jazz sometimes. I have never had a bad meal here. The steak is great, everything is great. It is expensive though everything is ala carte, but honestly most things are large enough to share, like the baked potato could easily feed a small African Village. The cheesecake is also great definitely get a slice to go and eat on it for a week (yes it's that large). Can't wait to find me a boo piece and take him here it's that good.

Excellent service, good wine list, perfect steaks (according to my bf since I don't eat red meat), and the salads here are delicious!

Great atmosphere, great food, excellent staff. The service is top notch. Overall the prices are a little expensive but with a Groupon voucher I believe the experience is well worth the money and I highly recommend giving it a try.

I was initially a little hesitant to come here, because of the mixed reviews I had read. Upon entering however, we were greeted by a friendly, professional staff who seated us promptly, and attended to our needs very adequately without hovering over us. We ordered the ribeye, which was excellent. All my concerns were washed away, and overall, the evening was very pleasant. Some of what you pay for is ambiance, but the restaurant certainly delivers. I would highly recommend that you come to Boulevard Steakhouse.

Best Dirty Martinis in town goes to.............. MARTINI LOUNGE! .... nice sized martini glasses served with big FAT bleu cheese stuffed olives. YUM Also- check out the Boulevard Steakhouse's "Dinner Club" every first Sunday Dinner of each month. Great experience, great food with each course matched with a glass of vino. CHEERS!!

We were very disappointed with this restaurant. The service was horrible - our waiter basically ignored us and it took 15 minutes to get a drink. We all ordered steaks, of course, but they were all overcooked and way too peppery, The mashed potatoes were lukewarm at best. To top it off, it was very expensive. We would never return to this place!

Best steakhouse in Edmond, top-5 in OKC area. The service is good at what they do, they just don't have the depth that elite steakhouse waiters do. Food-wise, they have a great menu and I've never been disappointed with the cut or the temperature of the steak. I've been about 5 times, and I get the feeling that this place will satisfy you 90% of the time...which is pretty good for OKC. What this place has going for it is its atmosphere. The music, decor, connecting bar, lighting, etc. Trust this place for a great experience overall. If you have a large diverse group, everyone will like the place for different reasons.

The medium rare filet mignon was very well executed. Love the intimate and romantic atmosphere, and the Frank Sinatra music playing in the background. Had a great experience here.
(4)John J.
The food has been very good every time I have dined here. Tonight I got the steak special. 10oz filet, topped with compound butter, twice baked potato and cinnamon carrots. The steak was excellent, but the carrots were bland and cold. The potato was average. It may be a matter of preference, but for the same money The Ranch has been more consistent. Either way you can't go wrong and will get a fine meal you will remember.
(4)Danielle M.
Went with the bf who is a steak monster. He ordered an $80 piece of meat, it has to be amazing right?! Nope it was sub par, cooked well though. I had shrimp on toast ( cant remeber the actual name). It was good but not for the price. Mushrooms were ok and again not for the price. Bread was good, but we spent $200, everything should have been great. Wont be back
(2)Spencer S.
We spent around 150 the other day. My boyfriend had steak and I had salmon. The service is horrible. The food is alright nothing special or amazing. My boyfriend had diarrhae after dinner. We believed that there was something wrong with the steak.
(1)Chelsie S.
My husband and I went for Valentines day and had really high expectations for this place. The quick story: Pros-- great bar, nice atmosphere, the servers/management were fairly attentive and caring Cons-- THE FOOD.... I expected a high end steak to go with the high end atmosphere... It was tough.. Barely seasoned.. And just disappointing Mashed potatoes had no flavor and the Lobster Mac and cheese was covered in sharp cheddar and was just well... Bad. I was shocked... Bottom Line: go to Micky mantles or red prime steakhouse if you would like an amazing steak and sides to accompany the price and atmosphere
(2)Anna F.
I was here for a networking dinner in the Martini Lounge. I had somewhat high expectations for this place and I feel that is was just average because of the food. Our private party had excellent service, but I felt that the food could have been better. There was a buffet that had meatballs, lasanga, bread sticks, caesar salad and also some veggies and cheeses. All of the food was okay but nothing special. I feel like their menu is probably better than what was presented here so I'd be willing to go back for a normal dinner and see how it is. I really loved the atmosphere in the Martini Lounge, though. Very romantic and cozy!

Boulevard Steakhouse only costs an arm and a leg, but on our visit last week I didn't feel cheated. The restaurant has an intimate atmosphere, almost old-fashioned but it hasn't quite tipped all the way over yet. (We were asked which room we were dining in by one of the hostesses, which made me laugh on the inside.) Our steaks were perfectly cooked and flavorful, though the side dishes were surprisingly bland. Garlic potatoes do need butter and garlic, but they also need salt. I REALLY appreciated the great service we received. I was looking for a quiet night out with my wife, and the servers noticed this and became steakhouse ninjas, taking care of drinks, etc., with minimal intrusion and never interrupting. When I did need something, I needed only raise my head and was well taken care of. It was so pleasant we ordered dessert, which the scrooge in me almost never allows me to do. I can't say it's the best steakhouse I've ever been to, but it's up there and a fine addition to Oklahoma City. Worth the visit to be sure.
(4)Evelyn P.
Tenderloin was good! Ribeye was mediocre but the mushroom wine sauce was delicious ! Overall it's a nice restaurant with good steaks but way overrated. Definitely not a friendly restaurant!
(3)Yuwen B.
Amazing!!!! I was pleasantly surprised. We went to Oklahoma for the weekend to attend a wedding and we looked for a steakhouse that has high ratings from customers. That brought us to Boulevard steakhouse. It was better than we expected. The restaurant plays Sinatra all night. It has a romantic and intimate feel throughout the restaurant. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We sat at the bar because we did not have a reservation, but we were given as much attention as the ones that are on the tables. The steak was sublime and very tender. Next time we visit Oklahoma, this is definitely a place that we will visit again and again.

I loved this restaurant! The service was great. The food was very very good!! The best asparagus I've ever had! I highly recommend it!! Really great for a special occasion.
(5)Nikki A.
One of the best places I've been to in OKC. GREAT MEAT.. Great preparation. I asked for cream of corn and eventhough they didn't have it they tried to make it for me. Obviously it wasn't the greatest thing there but I appreciated it. Steak was goood THE SALAD WAS AMAZING...This s the only place in OKC where I was able to have fresh vegetables in my salad and It was good.. I had the followings: spinach salad . the one with strawberries Fillet Mashed Potatoes Cream of corn And everything was great .... they get 4 out of 5 cause I've had better

This was my first visit to the Martini Lounge. Parking was pretty limited. Once you walk in, the lighting inside is low so be careful walking around. We had drinks and appetizers. Prices are reasonable for higher middle to upper class clients. We had a martini and 7 Crown Royals with water which came out to $82. Appetizers were okay. Between veggies, chicken wings, chips and salsa, you can find something. I gave them 3 stars because (1) food was left on the floor which caused some of the patrons to almost slip and fall and (2) service was a little slow. I would give them another try, but for drinks only post dinner elsewhere.
(3)Kay A.
My husband and I have enjoyed many special occasions at Boulevard Steakhouse. We are always impressed with the food quality and their excellent service. My husband's favorite is the 14 oz. ribeye cooked rare. He thinks it is one of the very few places where he can get his "perfect" tender, rare steak every time. I usually order the 7 or 10 oz filet cooked medium rare and I can cut it with a butter knife. The sides are served family style and we like to get the garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and either the creamed spinach or sautéed spinach and sometimes asparagus. Since it is expensive, we like to save this nice restaurant for birthdays and anniversaries. We drive an hour to dine at Boulevard and it is always well worth it.

2.625 stars for me (honestly) which I rounded down on purpose - I will not be back My first time to go and I was excited. I've heard a lot about this place over the years. And, I expected to eat a great steak. I'm not going to give a very long review on them because it does not take much time to explain. I hope that people will read this because they did not rate well and my experience was below average. Atmosphere - 2 stars - because of the subdued lighting. I have perfect 20-20 vision. This place is way too dark inside. I could barely see my hand in front of my face, no kidding. Usually my eyes can adapt quickly to a dimly lit room, not this one. It was so dark that I never could become comfortable. It seemed to get darker in there as the evening went on. Service - 4 stars - I thought that the wait staff were on their toes handling things very well - friendly, efficient, responsive. My hats off to them. Food - 2.5 stars overall (see below) Boulevard Salad - 3 stars - it was pretty good with a nice house dressing, nothing spectacular. Iceberg lettuce and some regular veggies. Aged Ribeye Medium - 2 stars - terrible - I couldn't see my steak to figure out if it was done correctly but I was able to taste it. The aged-ness was not done correctly in my opinion because the steak tasted very mealy and overcooked in an oven. I wished that I had ordered just a regular steak. I've had really good aged beef over the years - in London I had some Scottish aged beef (impeccable) - and some places in Las Vegas. This steak was terrible. Mashed Potatoes - 2 stars - wow, the mashed potatoes were very dry which I wasn't able to move past, c'mon guys. No added flair, nothing special about them to even try to give a better rating. Sautéed Mushrooms - 3 stars - tasted like they took some mushrooms and simmered them in some chicken stock, which tastes pretty good, but it didn't impress me at all. There was no flair at all on these. Dessert - 4 stars - had the molten lava chocolate cake and the cheesecake. Both were equally impressive. If they make this dessert in-house, they should give that person a raise because that person is saving the bad meal for everyone else. Price - 1 star - not worth the price at all. Summary: I've had a much better meal at Logan's Roadhouse (on every occasion). It was very hard for me to believe that this place does not rate. For spending hundreds of dollars the meal had no flair at all.
(2)Sofia L.
Totally ruined date night. $85 for chewy escargot, under seasoned lobster bisque, average Caesar salad and 2 drinks. We couldn't eat our steak as it came out medium-well instead of the medium-rare requested. We did not have time to wait for a redo, as a minor emergency came up during dinner. Needless to say, we will not be returning as the chef, expeditor, and server should all be ashamed for sending out a $44 filet in that condition.
(1)Haley H.
So so good! Went for my boyfriends and I's one year anniversary, and it was so insanely good. We both got steak and split the Key Lime Pie... incredible! We also had a wonderful waiter and I wish I would've gotten his name so he could be properly credited.
(5)Tabitha N.
My Honey brought me here for a date night and its now our favorite steakhouse!!! He had steak and it was amazing!!! (Well of corse I had to have a bite!!) He said it was the best steak he had ever had. It was so tender! I normally take my steak well done, and he got his medium well. I almost didn't taste it because nothing is ever cooked enough for me. BUT, even with a hardly pink center it was soooooo good!!! I had lobster! It's my weakness, I order it any time I have the opportunity. My family is from the East coast and I have had lobster fresh out of the ocean since I was a very young girl! That being said, this lobster was delicious! Just melted in my mouth. I didn't even use any butter. I took a bite and just closed my eyes because I wanted to savor every second of deliciousness. I could smell the saltwater and feel sand between my toes when I tasted it! Spectacular!!!! The sides were the perfect portion! Some expensive steak places bring u the tiniest sides because that isn't what you go there for. However, Boulevard seems to specialize in EVERYTHING!!! Salads were full of fresh, crisp veggies! Sides were generous & filling! Beer & wine was perfect temperature! The wait staff!!!! Ohhhhh the wait staff!!! The last time we went, our server was training someone. And the server in training was genuinely better than any server on their own at any other restaurant I have ever been to! It seems that they commit the entire menu to memory! Compete with knowledge on everything they are spouting off! They know what the food is! They can liken it to things you will be familiar with. Describe texture, smell & taste! I was blown away! It was like I had eaten it before my meal ever arrived to the table! The setting is very romantic. We have only ever been in the evenings. The tables seem private, though you're surrounded by others. I'm not sure how they do that. It's as though there is an invisible forcefield separating you from all of the other diners!! Expect to spend some money when you come here. I'm not taking any stars away for this, because it's worth every penny! A couple of hours of solitude for our tastebuds to dance while my sweetheart looks adoringly upon me...I'll throw down a Franklin or 2 for this experience! It's an absolute treat!

Generally, one of my favorite places for special occasions. Now if the bartender could just master a Stinger Straight Up, it would be heaven.

Sad. Used to be such a good place. Party of 7. 5 of us got steaks. 2 got fish. 4 steaks were cooked wrong & 1 fish was dry. After waiting for as long as we did, we honestly didn't feel like fighting it. Waiter was courteous, but really lacked in his job duties. Wrong plates to some of us & just basically felt like we could swap them out. Same with the sides. Water girl was excellent or I fear we'd have run out of drinks. And 2 pieces of bread, which you can cut into 4's, for a whole meal is just a lack of attention. I'm just saying if you spend $75-$100 per person (and that's with a couple drinks) you should expect better service and better food preparation. Can't say that I'd choose to return here as my personal choice as there's too many nice steakhouses in town today to have to beg.
(2)Clayton L.
I've gone to Boulevard Steakhouse and always had a rather good experience. This time, however, was dismal at best. My guest received a beautifully prepared meal, their chicken dish was lovely for her. I opted to choose on of their specials, usually in a reasonable price range however this particular special ended up being over $100. The reason this experience was dismal was for two reasons. 1) The potatoes that accompanied my dish were burnt. 2) When I notified the staff, the manager approached me and said that he would "have that taken care of" on my bill, however when I received my bill there were no changes made. I do not care much for the manager to remove anything from my bill, either way it doesn't matter, but if you are going to approach me and say that you will I would hope that you would stick to your word. Unfortunately I doubt I will return to Boulevard Steakhouse because of this experience.
(2)Bret S.
Extremely overrated. This place is very expensive but the does not deliver the value. The service was slow and food only average. Three of the four steaks at our table were not prepared properly. I ordered my $40 filet medium and it was too well done which ruined the flavor. My daughter also order her's medium and it came out almost rare, so she had to wait while it was sent back. That is totally unacceptable at place that charges these prices. It's like teengagers were cooking the meals. The creamed spinach was dry - just awful. Save your money and skip this place.
(2)Rachael F.
I love this place, and can't say enough good things about it. It's expensive, yes, but the service is the best I've ever experienced, the food is always perfect, and it's worth all the fuss. We are not fancy people, but we enjoy spoiling ourselves once every few years with a trip here for a special occasion. It's a solid 5! The wine list is expansive, and seems reasonably priced for a restaurant. They have a lot of higher end wines that most places don't carry. They have a pretty big selection for by-the-glass, and half-bottles if you don't want to buy a whole bottle. The atmosphere may seem a little stuffy, but I promise you, you won't care when you experience the food and level of service, because, really, it's not stuffy at all. Even on our first trip when we were young and naive, we were treated with the utmost respect and the waiter was happy to explain terms and dishes to us. If you are one of those that avoids fancy places (that's me!), don't let that stop you, and give Boulevard a try. Be warned: They scrape the tables, place napkins in your lap, etc., but get over it, and enjoy the whole experience. You won't be disappointed! The food is perfect. I've never had a steak come out wrong. It's flavorful, not salty, tender, and everything you expect from a steak. I've only had beef entrees, but I've heard the Grilled Salmon is really good. Sides are al la carte, and served family style. The Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Au Gratin Potatoes, and Lobster Macaroni are my favorites. Be sure to save room for dessert! Bananas Boulevard is their specialty. It's big enough to share, but you probably won't want to. The chocolate Lava Cake, Boulevard Brandy Ice, and cheesecake are also quite good. And from the appetizers, the Cajun Tournedoes and Crab Cakes are delicious! I had the cheese plate at a party, and it was a huge hit. The black cherry compote is a perfect pairing. There is also a lounge/bar on the south side of the restaurant that connects. I've never been, but it was quite loud when we passed through, and the crowd seemed to really be enjoying themselves. At a group dinner party, the room we were in connected, and it was off-putting how loud it was. The restaurant itself if very quiet and intimate.

Chose to celebrate our 21st wedding Anny here after being introduced to this wonderful steakhouse by some friends. The atmosphere in the main dining area is romantic. Our server Marion was superb. They have a nice wine selection which we enjoyed very much. The show stopper was the bone-in blackened ribeye. All I can say it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had.

I was fortunate enough to win dinner for two at Boulevard at a raffle drawing at the Yelpies, but we will definitely be back. It lived up to the reputation. The restaurant is good-sized, but it has a very cozy atmosphere with the restaurant split up into smaller rooms. The service was great, and the food was phenomenal. We had a bottle of the Boulevard Cabernet and it was great. I am usually not a fan of Cabs because I like a lighter wine, but this one was a pretty light Cab and I enjoyed it. We started out with the crab cakes, which were perfect consistency - a little bit of crisp but not overloaded with breading. The flavor of the crab was strong and delicious. I had a filet and my boyfriend had the bone-in strip, and we shared sauteed spinach and the green chile mac. I have not had a fancy dinner in quite some time, and that filet was cooked to a PERFECT medium rare. It was amazing. Beautiful and red all the way through with a little bit of crisp on the outside. So. Good. The macaroni was delicious too; I'll definitely be having the leftovers for lunch this week. We finished up with the bananas Boulevard... we were choosing between that and the creme brulee, and I am so glad we went with the bananas. It was a lot like a bananas foster, but better than any bananas foster I've ever had. The caramelized bananas, caramel sauce and ice cream were all amazing enough on their own, but it was seriously one of the best desserts I've ever had. Thanks so much to Yelp and Boulevard for the fabulous experience! It is definitely on our list of fine dining restaurants when we're in the mood. My boyfriend and I have both worked for the Hal Smith Restaurant Group so are very partial to Mahogany because we get spoiled there because we know a lot of the staff, but I thought Boulevard was just as good, and that dessert might have put them past Mahogany in my book. I'm sure we'll be back!
(5)Brian B.
Fantastic service, top quality food and presentation. Don't let the outside of this place fool you. Inside its like a classic Chicago steakhouse. I had the ribeye which was cooked perfectly and the sides like spinach, creamed corn, mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes were excellent. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner. Good bar also that makes a perfect martini and they have a decent wine list. This is a special occasion place so it's spendy but they deliver in my opinion. I would go here again if given the opportunity.
(5)Joe O.
My Grandson and his wife took my wife and I there for my birthday (12-23). The food was fantastic service was good. It was a cold night and we were seated in terrible draft. Every time the front door opened we would get a fresh taste of winter. I tried to stay warm by removing my jacket and placing it around my legs. This however did not work. When staff were notified of the discomfort they did nothing and offered no solution. There were empty booths available that were not in the draft however we were not allowed and or offered to move. This was our first visit and again the food was great. However it is very hard to enjoy the evening getting a blast cold air every ,time the door opens. This could have been fixed but it wasn't.

We ventured here a few weeks ago for a really fun birthday party for my soon-to-be sister-in-law. I host lots of parties and reserve lots of private rooms, but this may be the best deal in town, especially if you're just providing food and people are on their own for drinkies. Let me say that this is a perfectly lovely way to host a birthday party for a loved one, giving everyone a chance to get together without the host having to sell an organ to pay for it. The spread was outstanding: delicious and good-sized sliders on fresh rolls, calamari, shrimp cocktail, fruit and veggies. Plenty of food that you didn't need to eat somewhere else before or after. Since I'm close to the host (my fiance's bro) I didn't mind asking him how much. The shrimp added a bit to the cost, but overall it sounded like it was around $300 for about 40 people. There was no charge for the private room, and eventually they opened up the doors so we could hear the live band playing. The atmosphere is dark, sleek, sophisticated and sexy. The service was excellent, and our tabs for drinks were fairly reasonable, especially since it felt like a really fancy night out for us but didn't cost an arm and leg. What's with all my body-part selling metaphors? Too much Walking Dead, perhaps?

For a restaurant on the higher end of the quality spectrum--at least for Edmond--Boulevard is really great. When I came here, I brought a large group celebrating graduation. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the cooking process. He was present when we needed him and absent when we didn't. That's always how I judge good waiting. I enjoyed a perfectly cook medium rare fillet, Pittsburgh style. It was easily among the better steaks I have had. (And I've had good steak.) I was blown away. They also have a diverse, clever array of appetizers and wines. The prices are relatively high, but that was expected. It's hard to say how much we spent this one night, especially after our third or fourth bottle of wine! I can say it was a great dining experience, and I will return. For a cheaper version of Boulevard, go next door to Cafe 501. It's owned by the same people and has the same, intimate atmosphere.
(5)Jim R.
I made my first visit to Boulevard Steakhouse the other night for a business dinner. The space is beautiful and well-appointed, just like you'd expect in an upscale steakhouse. Lots of dark wood, subdued lighting, and wine everywhere. We sat by ourselves in what I'd call a "wine room" (the walls were lined with wine storage cabinets). Our server was friendly and attentive, if a little tongue-tied on some menu descriptions (it was just one of those days for him; I'm merely making an observation, not a criticism). We ordered wine (twice, because they didn't have the first choice; that shouldn't happen, Wine Director!) and apps, then our main courses. The appetizers and salads were very well done. Delicious, sizable servings, and beautiful plates. We had the calamari (tender and moist with a delicate breading) as a table, then I had the Steakhouse Salad (a chopped salad in a creamy vinaigrette). Both were excellent. As you would expect in a steakhouse like Boulevard, steak are a la carte, meaning when you order a steak, you get a steak on a plate. Therefore, remember that you'll need to order sides for the table. Also remember to under-order. The server can always get extra sides to the table quickly, but won't take an extra $10 order of asparagus off the bill if you don't eat it. So, everything is fine up to this point, but then comes the reason I can't glowingly recommend this place: my steak was over-aged and cooked poorly. Now, I managed high-end steakhouses in a former life, so I know a little something about red meat. This strip I got (and I prefer strip steaks for flavor vs. the marbling in ribeyes or the blandness of a filet) was cooked okay from a temperature standpoint, but had little to no crust on the surface. It was like they cooked in an oven, and it wasn't pleasant. The age REALLY came through; it was funky and mealy. I ate it, and didn't say a word. You can't really say anything (or at least you SHOULDN'T say anything) at a business dinner when something is bad. We didn't do dessert, but it looked like they had some nice choices. So, thus ended the meal. Boulevard got a lot of things right, and given the opportunity I'll return. However, when you're a steakhouse, the steak should be front and center. That was not the case on this occasion. Here's hoping that it was merely an anomaly.

Wowee! Did I ever feel fancy dining here for my father in-law's birthday celebration! This tucked away steakhouse will alter your senses with an adventurous taste. Walking in feels like entering a time period piece making you feel like there's a chance you'll run into Frank Sinatra. Dim chandelier lighting and velvet decor sets the mood of this restaurant fabulously. The service was absolutely fantastic. They staff was dressed to the nines and described the impressive menu well. Needless to say, my cup never went dry. We started with salads. I had the spinach and strawberry; it was fantastic as every piece of spinach was crisp. For my entree, I thoroughly enjoyed the steak florentine. This consisted of a five ounce filet, béarnaise, spinach florentine and a twice baked potato. My filet was not only cooked to the medium perfection, but was also the perfect portion to not make me waddle out the door. Indeed, the food and service were both excellent. However, probably what impressed me most was the atmosphere of fancy pants with no cloud of pretentious.
(5)Dan D.
Two stars here and let me tell you why. Before I start I just want to say this review could change easily because I will be going back to try and see if I can be wowed here. Been to this establishment twice now and have been disappointed with the execution of the food both times. I will say that here service is king and the entire staff takes great care to make sure you are happy and will not let you down with poor service. Management staff is attentive and strives to ensure you are happy with the entire dining experience. So the not so good now...... all I wanted was a medium-rare ribeye. A wonderful cut of meat that when properly cooked will rival any cut of meat. When it is ill prepared it turns in to shoe leather with no flavor. My first time in I sat at the bar and ordered my ribeye which is labeled as USDA Prime beef, to order this any more than medium rare would be a crime. 3 times, it took 3 times of it being sent back to get it right and when I got the steak how it was ordered it was magnificent. I do need to stipulate here, I didn't send it back the 2nd and 3rd time, the first I did because it was over cooked. The 2nd time it was over cooked and the 3rd times it was seared but ice cold in the middle. The manager came over and apologized and gave me her card asking if I would please come back and give them another chance, no problem. The second time in was for business and had customers who I consider friends with me. Service was amazing, appetizers amazing, drinks were great.......and now about the 2nd chance ribeye. I do not doubt that this place orders USDA Prime beef, but I think someone lied to them about what was sent on the days beef order. Once again medium rare turned in to medium and it went back per the server, I was prepared to eat the steak but the server insisted they could get a new steak right out. two minutes later I had a new steak. The new steak had no season, was extremely chewy, and had a ribbon on hard fat going through the center that made it hard to eat all together. Desert and coffee finished the meal and once again the manager came over and asked how everything was, I told her and she took care of the issue. Now here comes the real reason for two stars. I have worked in steakhouses all around the country and have eaten at let's say 50 different steakhouses. When I see USDA Prime I know how much that steak will cost to buy from a meat purveyor and put on to a plate for a customer to enjoy. This place over two visits has wasted what I would guess to be 5 pounds of steak to get one out that was exactly how I ordered it. I hate to see good food wasted so please just take your time and get it spot on the first time. I will happily wait for the good stuff, where I get upset is when I wait three times as long for something that is pretty simple. Like I said I will be back, and yes I will order a medium rare ribeye, I know this place can be 5 stars I just need to see the proof.

I would give this place only one star, if it wasn't for the service. The service was excellent, but the food was not worth the price. Our meal was $220 for 2 people and it wasn't worth half this, except for the wine. They have a wonderful wine selection. The lobster bisque was salty and was strange tasting. The filet mignon was tough. The spinach was great, but, again, wasn't worth the price. There is nothing special about this restaurant. Save your money.

I get shipped out to some obscure places for work sometimes. This time it was Langston Oklahoma. So I ended up staying in Edmond which is halfway between Oklahoma City and Langston. As I was driving to my hotel I passed Boulevard. Now I hate eating out by myself but in situations like this you gotta make do. So after I check in and unpack I head over to get myself dinner. When I walk i'm greeted by the hostess and ask for a seat at the bar. I'm taken to this mini booth (seats 2) and am immediately greated with a glass of water and huge loaf of, of fresh piping hot, super tasy sourdough bread. I think I could have made a meal out of the bread and butter alone. Since this was a steak place I had to test the bar by getting my usual NY cut medium rare and a side of sauteed spinach. The steak came out perfectly cooked with a simple seasoning of sea salt, pepper and butter (I'm not sure what they feed the dairy cows there but this butter is fantastic). Spinach was also perfectly blanched/sauteed. To top it off the service was spectactular. They even gave me tips on things to do in Oklahoma CIty (ended up catching the Hornets/Rockets NBA game). The price is up there (even compared to Bay Area standards) but the experience and quality are worth it and you''ll probably have enough left over for a 2nd small meal. If you ever are in Oklahoma City make the drive up to Edmond and give Boulevard a try.

Yes my friends - there is more than corn in Oklahoma From the minute you walk in the door you feel like you belong to an intimate and exclusive dining club. Even the small hand painted note on the front door reads "Sinatra Spoken Here". The front door is blacked out and the blinds are always closed. The feeling is deep and intimate, but the big band and swing jazz music in the background is always at the perfect level to create a light buzz in the air. The Steakhouse must seat 200 at a given time, but it is broken up so well that the tones of intimacy always overshadow the crowd. I always arrive early to enjoy a great wine from the bar. I believe that they have a selection of more than 700 wines and spirits. I have never been disappointed. The wait staff teams your table to ensure constant attention is being provided. The food - all I can say is that it is always well prepared, fresh, and delicious. My two favorites are the Charred salmon served on a cedar plank and the 20oz. Blackend Cowboy Cut Bone In Rib-eye. Ok ok, of the 12-20 times I have been there I have had the salmon once and the Rib-eye the other. IT IS THAT GOOD. I travel constantly for business and consider myself a beef expert - '), and I rate this cut and taste on the top of my list!!! So, when you are done, slip through the side door and you enter the Martini Lounge. This is a cigar friendly, large bar with over stuffed, hi-back elegant chairs, loveseats and tapestries. During the weekend this is one of the places to be in north Oklahoma City. As always if you have any questions contact me!

At the moment, lucky for me I'm a wealthy young man, but I don't look rich. And sometimes when I go out to nice places I get treated like dirt. Such is the case at Boulevard Steakhouse, where I took a girlfriend for Valentine's Day. Our waitress had on purple nail polish, was younger, and forgot my girlfriend's drink order. She didn't come around much and our water glasses sat empty on our table for most of the evening. At least the person I called to make the reservation wasn't so judging. It's hard to get a seat on 14 Feb. Great wine, and big fat juicy steaks. This place is catering to a much more mature crowd, but still a great restaurant. Very classy and very stylish inside. I loved the dimly lit dark ambiance. We had a good time, because we always have a good time. Regardless of waitress' disrespect, I left a fat tip to show her that you can't judge a book by it's cover... fuckers

We went here with a groupon on our anniversary and it was incredible! Eric was wonderful. It was a fantastic dinner. Steak was cooked perfectly and tender enough to eat with a fork. And the service...this was not dining out, Eric made this an experience. Multiple courses, we were never rushed, altogether fantastic. The ambience, food, and service were incredible. They gave us our dessert because it was our anniversary! We really enjoyed it. Will be back to celebrate our next special occasion. If you go get the Bananas Boulevard. Scrumptious! And we have enough wonderful leftovers for another meal. It was pricey but worth every penny.

Went here for our anniversary and was very disappointed. I have ate a lot of steaks and this one wasn't good. We were there on Monday maybe the good chef only works on weekend. I had a blackend bone in ribeye and it was more than blackend it was burnt. It had at least eighth inch char on each side. Also had au gratin potatos and they were undercooked and crunchy. The mushrooms were very bland and plain. We had the velvet cake it was DRY an tasted like flavored pound cake. It stuck in your mouth and luckily we had got coffee that helped wash it down. We will not be back!

Good steaks and great sides. My only complaint was we were asked to move tables right after they set us down b/c a regular had walked in and we were at his table. My wife was mad b/c it was my birthday, but I told her to just relax and have a good time. They moved us to the back and put us next to the fireplace. The service was awesome, and we were comped most all of our food except for our alcohol.

A hidden gem in the bedroom community of Edmond, OK. An excellent wine list with some real values, my only disappointment being the occasional lack of availability of some selections. Wines are kept under temperature control, and are served in Reidel Bordeaux or Montrachet glasses. I can live with that, though a Burgundy stem being available would cheer this wino right up. Steaks are outstanding and properly prepared. Sides are steakhouse sized, and the desserts are wonderful. The bar is well stocked, and professionally staffed. My only misgiving is that in several visits, the attending staff at the table was young, and rather clueless about nuances of fine dining. There doesn't seem to be a strong floor presence, so brought my own. The restaurant is nonsmoking, but there is an adjacent lounge that permits smoking.

Finest restaurant in Edmond. Steakhouse compares to the few great steakhouses in OKC metro. Some prefer Boulevard to the rest. This meal will cost you but very delightful. Great environment.

PHENOMENAL. This place is a classic in Edmond and so good. I love the atmosphere which is perfect for dates or old people birthday parties (very dark and mysterious). They also have live jazz sometimes. I have never had a bad meal here. The steak is great, everything is great. It is expensive though everything is ala carte, but honestly most things are large enough to share, like the baked potato could easily feed a small African Village. The cheesecake is also great definitely get a slice to go and eat on it for a week (yes it's that large). Can't wait to find me a boo piece and take him here it's that good.
