I’ve been dining at BLVD Steakhouse in the Fulton Market area since 2018, and it used to be one of my favorite places to celebrate special occasions. The food was always great, the drinks were well-crafted, the service felt attentive, and the ambiance was beautiful and upscale.
In the past, they really made birthdays feel special. I’ve celebrated here before and received thoughtful touches like a waffle-style birthday cake, complimentary appetizer courses, and even a celebratory cocktail or champagne. When I brought my mom for her birthday, they went above and beyond and truly made her feel celebrated.
Unfortunately, my experience last night for my own birthday felt very different. There were no special touches, no dessert presentation, and none of the extra effort I’ve experienced in previous years. When I asked the server about the waffle birthday cake, I was told they stopped doing that about six years ago. That was surprising, given that those thoughtful details are part of what made this restaurant stand out to me.
The seating also felt less than ideal for a birthday dinner, and overall the service just didn’t have that same warmth or celebratory energy I’ve come to expect here.
The food and ambiance are still solid, but the experience didn’t feel as special as it once did. I’m hoping this was just an off night, because this place used to truly make celebrations memorable.

Chicago Restaurant Week is coming to an end, so I chose this place to start my weekend. My first time visiting BLVD Steakhouse. The aesthetic is on point, with plenty of picture opportunities. Keep in mind there is a no-flash policy. I wasn’t in the mood for alcohol, so I chose the Golden Glow, from the spirit-free section. It was so good, I ordered two. I ordered strictly from the Restaurant Week menu. My first course was the wedge salad, which was good. For my second course, I chose the upgrade and went with the 8oz filet and 50/50 mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were an 11/10, superb!!!! Now for the steak, I asked for medium-
well cooked. It was more medium. I didn’t care for the char on the outside. Finally, for dessert, the only option offered is the Snickerdoodle cheesecake, topped with pear and honey. I’m not a fan of pear, but the cheesecake was good.

Visited for a friends birthday dinner.
Food & drinks were pretty good. I had salmon & creamed spinach. I also had the lavendar lemon drop which was pretty good.
Our server Rob was amazing. He gave recommendations & everything that he rec’d was good especially the cocktail.
They have us a champagne toast to celebrate the lady fo the hr & a pretty good chocolate cake slice. I am not a chocolate cake person but this was surprisingly good!
Just a heads up, they have a photography rule on their site that was not disclosed when we made our reservation. We specifically chose this place for the aesthetic & to take some pictures during the evening. Had we know about this ahead of time we would not have picked this place. I understand how it could be disruptive if it is excessive however as a paying guest we should be allowed a moment for photos, within reason. So just make sure you read that before going.

Highly disappointed in this experience. From beginning to end it was interesting. If you have a late reservation prepared to be rushed. Our reservation was for 9:15 pm on a Saturday evening 2 people. We pulled up in car service two gentlemen were standing outside I am guessing they were valet, they did not budge to assist with arrival lol. My friend had a boot on her foot you would think they would have some courtesy and open the door, nothing. I open the door to the restaurant it smells like a pound of weed. At that moment we should have left, it was late and we needed to eat so we stayed and gave the place the benefit of the doubt. We were seated in the upstairs dining room, after requesting the main floor especially because my company was injured and it was very apparent!!! Why would you seat us upstairs and she has a boot on her foot!!!??? We ended up taking their work elevator to get upstairs. Our waitress was definitely rushing us to order. I ordered a ginger ale twice, the second time the waitress stated we do not do refills…. ummm ok I still want it. Then she proceeds to ask is there something wrong with my stomach because I am ordering ginger ale. Just give me the ginger ale! Our waitress also asked if there were any allergies at the table, I stated yes avocado she says oh this is not a Mexican or Spanish restaurant so we won’t have that problem. Again ummmmmm Ok! Totally unnecessary to say! After being asked every 2/3 mins if we were ready to order we ordered oysters to start which were not fresh! A filet mignon , branzino, mac and cheese, and asparagus. We did not eat the mac and cheese and the waitress left it on the bill. All the food was very blah and cold. Listen to this they charge for their in house steak sauce that is just a1 watered down, it was not good at all! We ordered a drink they were decent. I was so over it in that place! It was my birthday at that. They had the ice cream and fudge come out for my birthday with a candle and a card, real cute but no. Idk what kind of fudge was on that ice cream but it would not separate from the ice cream lol. The audacity to have staff patrolling around to tell people when and where they can take pictures lol, this place smells like weed, people have on sweatsuits and ski masks, give me a break! They should consider a dress code because I definitely felt out of place. I dine pretty well and often and this experience was just tacky! I need people to really review these places and be honest , and the only thing this place has going is the aesthetics. I know good service and food! I hope they make some changes and do well.

I want to start by saying the ambiance and décor here were top tier and very memorable. Unfortunately, my overall experience was very different from what I expected.
My wife brought me here to celebrate my birthday. We had a 7:30 PM reservation, arrived on time, were seated within a couple of minutes, and were given water shortly after. After that, we sat for over 30 minutes without anyone taking our drink order. We eventually had to stop a staff member ourselves to request service. She took our drink and food orders on the spot.
I ordered an Old Fashioned, which arrived half-filled—essentially a few sips—so be aware that drink portions are very small.
We ordered our steaks well done, and the server mentioned they might take a while due to their thickness, which we understood. However, the steaks arrived in about 15 minutes along with the creamed spinach and mac and cheese. On the first cut of my New York strip, I immediately noticed pink. My wife’s ribeye was the same.
We waited a bit to send them back, but since no server came by and we were hungry, we reluctantly ate them anyway. Unfortunately, the steaks were completely unseasoned and easily the most bland, tasteless steaks I’ve ever been served. The sides, however, were flavorful and enjoyable.
At that point, we were ready to leave and asked for the check. The staff member who took our order offered a complimentary chocolate cake to-go for our patience, which was appreciated.
Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. I had high expectations, and aside from the ambiance and décor, the experience fell very short.

0/10. Idk where to start. Valentines Weekend was HORRIBLE. Idk if it was the server or the kitchens fault but the service and food was terrible. Two french onion soups were ordered, but only one came (with half of it spilled over the bowl, messy). Couldn’t find the server for about 15min to tell her the issue, we finally see her and tell her about the missing soup, had to wait another 15 min for it NOT to come, server comes back and offers a different appetizer to try for the inconvenience, cool. The steak entree (which we asked to be upgraded from the 8oz to 24oz) came absolutely charred and drier than beef jerky. The top of the steak was literally crunchy and hard. We also did not get the upcharge we asked for, we got the 8oz instead of 24oz. Asked the server for straws, never got them. Asked the server for more bread rolls, had to remind her after 10-15 min went by with no rolls. Overall, this restaurants menu was horrible. Food was horrible. and DEFINITELY not worth $125 per person. Better service and food at Longhorn. 0/10. Idk where to start. Valentines Weekend was HORRIBLE.

I dont think this place compares to other Steakhouses we have in the city, Food was ok but not for the price, We had the Roasted Chicken and the Wagyu strip, Wedge salad and mashed potatoes, best dishes were mashed potatoes and the salad, the worse was the Chicken and desserts (cheesecake was ok chocolate one was bad), music was not the best as well with the volume going up and down, seemed live dj was struggling. Service is slow and also looks like they had issues with Bookings on NYE, took 45 minutes to get the table after the reservation time.

I would give 0 stars if I could. The only reason this restaurant received one star is for the ambience. Everything else about our experience was extremely disappointing, especially for a steakhouse that is so highly rated. My spouse and I had a 7:30 PM reservation, yet after being seated, we sat at our table for over 30 minutes without any acknowledgment at all. No server, no water, no greeting — nothing. I eventually had to speak up and ask who our server was before anyone came over. When someone finally came to take our order, the interaction was rude and unprofessional. There was no apology for the long wait and no attempt to make up for the inconvenience in any way. Once our food arrived, no one checked on us to ask how the food was or if we needed anything, which only reinforced the feeling that we were completely overlooked. I had also requested a booth with my reservation but was instead seated at a small table, which was another disappointment. From start to finish, it truly felt like my guest and I were ignored. As for the food, it was underwhelming and lacked flavor, especially the steak. Ironically, the best part of the entire meal was the sides. For a bill that totaled around $400, this experience was unacceptable. I honestly feel like I could have received better food and better service at a local chain like Outback for a fraction of the price. For the cost, reputation, and expectations that come with a top-tier steakhouse, this experience missed the mark entirely. I left feeling frustrated, disappointed, and unheard.
