Short & Sweet...
Lunch on a Friday during Lent.
Pro's: The fried perch dinner at the Boulevard Tavern is amazing. It's easily the best fried fish around. Such a distinct breading they use...light and flaky, not battered and greasy. Â They also have high-chairs for small children (which I had with me at the time), which is nice.
Con's: There were only two girls working the dining room/bar. That's crazy talk. I'm not saying the service is "bad", but it could definitely be better. The place was full-tilt on a friday lunch and they could have easily done with two more servers. They do not have much to offer in terms of feeding small children. (Applesauce was about it.)
In terms of bar food, The Boulevard should win a few prizes. Their burgers are fantastic, and their jumbo wings are excellent and freshly prepared. My biggest criticism of their wings is the lack of available flavors (and the "extra-hot" does not live up to its name). On Tuesdays they have a dine-in wing special that draws an impressive local crowd. They also have a popular fish special on Fridays. This is a quality family-owned/operated local bar. The service is usually pretty good, but can be slow (but worth it) when busy. The menu has a mediterranean flare, which is unexpected for a "tavern." Â I enjoy the comfortable atmosphere and it's cleanliness. Pro-tip: ask for pierogies; they are not on the menu, but come fresh from a stand in The West Side Market in Cleveland.
Review Source:Good drinks at a fair price. Â The food is always smells great and the prices are very fair.
BUT...The last time I was there, there was no soap and no paper towels in the men's room. Â Now MAYBE the cooks wash their hands in the kitchen, but I don't feel comfortable eating somewhere if the staff doesn't keep the restrooms in a condition where you can wash your hands and/or doesn't care enough to keep the restroom in a condition that makes it clear that good sanitary practices are a high priority...
Impressive. I gave this 5 stars for what it is- a nice, clean, very quaint bar/restaurant   .  I had the Moroccan cigars appetizer for my meal. Quite tasty. My bf had the perch special (on Friday) and it was delish. The prices here are awesome. The service was great. Will definitely go back.
Review Source:Thursday night is steak night and for $11 the filet is terrific. Â Other nights it's a pretty cool mix of bar food with a few Mediterranean touches like a really good pita/hummus appetizer. Â My wife sticks with the burger and fries.
We've had great service on popular nights, like Thursday. Â On Monday, not so much.
Physically, this place has an interesting quirky look, Â with booths up high and tables lower. Â The bar appears to date back to the Depression. Â You can enter from the front, where you can seat yourself, or from the back, in which case they will probably greet you and can help you choose a spot if you want. Â
Prices are very reasonable. Â And the chef is serious about his food, which is nice to see.
I have been going to the Boulevard a couple times a month for the past 3-4 years. Â The food is very good. Â I would often call and place an order to pick up. Â I just called to place an order and the girl told me they don't take orders over the phone, but I could come down there and place a to go order and wait on it. Â She then told me they haven't accepted phone orders i a couple of years! Â She was rude and strait out lied to me because I place a phone order within the past 2 months and have about half a dozen phone orders placed this year. Â Like I said, food is good, but don't know if I'll go back because of the rude person on the phone.
Review Source:a friend and i popped in for dinner and a beer and we were pleasantly surprised. the menu has your standard burgers and fries and chicken wings but there was also a great selection of salads and lebanese foods. my friend opted for the greek salad which she really enjoyed and i went for the falafel wrap and fries. YUM!
beer selection wasn't off the charts or anything but this is a nice neighborhood joint.
This is a local place that has a great vibe, staff and food. Â The interior is mostly wood and traditional, kinda like Cheers. Â The staff is incredibly friendly and I have NEVER had a bad experience there. Â
I used to get mixed drinks, but found that they were a little week, so I always have wine with my meal. Â I ALWAYS get their falafel which is TO DIE FOR! Â Instead of fries, I get the fattoush salad. Â It is so good, I am drooling as I type this. I have had their wings and they are good, but I am so in love with the fattoush that I can't bring myself to have anything else! Â My youngest is six and asks for it weekly.
Delicious! Â Tell them I sent you- they know me!
This is a review of the Boulevard's wings, not the whole restaurant, which has very decent food.  So their wings are awesome. They told me they buy them fresh and never freeze them.  They cook them to order, not in huge batches, so every order is cooked for you.  They're cooked perfectly - crispy never overdone.  Tuesday night is their wing night  ($.25/wing)and you can order by the number, and it's easily the best wing deal anywhere. Â
There is no comparison between BW3's wings and Boulevard wings. BW3 definitely has a wider range of sauces, but their wings are a joke.
So, while Boulevard doen't have a lot of sauces, they don't really need them. Â These wings are nearly the size of normal chicken legs. Â The medium sauce is great, and sometimes, when the right cook is working, and if they're not too busy, you can get them to mix the bbq and the medium. Everyone I've taken to this place for wings thinks they're the best they've ever had. Â
Don't be cheap. Â The help here is great. Tip well.
