I came on a Sunday for brunch for the first time and I had a great time! My friends and I weren’t a fan of the food and the cocktails we chose. Their steak, eggs and home fries entree wasn’t good at all. My eggs had way too much parsley, the steak seemed wet and not seasoned good and was on top of the hash browns which made the potatoes really soggy and they also tasted very salty. Thankfully it was cooked correctly, unlike my friends plate she ordered medium rare and it came out brown! It was comped and she had the shrimp and grits which tasted way better! We had a great time for the sing along part which started more in the night. We had a mimosa at first and it was perfectly made! My second drink was very strong but it’s okay I didn’t feel like complaining about it. The dj & hype woman I was great and kept the customers happy and singing! If I was to come back I would def. come back for pancakes and bacon lol and of course to sing my heart out!

The food was excellent . Ordered the shrimp and grits. Cheddar grits with bacon and butter and a biscuit. I will definitely be back. I also ordered the sisterita drink. That was very very tasty except the bar tender spilled some of the drink on the bar top. Very nice decor though. I will definitely be back to try other menu items

Food was tasty. Service was great as well. Dining area was neat and clean. We had a party of 4. Everyone was happy with their dishes. The lobster and crab cake was delish. You could clearly see the lobster meat mixed in the crab cake! The shrimp and grits was good. The shrimp were a overdone. We shared a few sides, the greens and potato salad were “slap your mama” good. It was a very cold and frigid day in NY. (Sunday Feb 8, 2026)My only complaint was the available seating was near the window and it was very cold. There extreme temperatures that day so I don’t think there was much that could be done. I will definitely return on a warmer day.

I came here for all-day brunch on a Sunday afternoon. Highly recommend reservations because it gets very busy. Service was good. I really enjoyed the cocktails and the food! The food was delicious and the drinks were strong. The music is pretty loud which is my only complaint but that is to be expected. Overall, I had a good experience

The food was impeccable and the service was just perfect. Our server Jamie was very attentive and took everyone’s order and so delightfully cheerful and fun but did his job very professionally . The atmosphere was quiet since it was a Monday evening but we were there a party of 10 celebrating our friend Birthday . I told Our server we will be back again very soon.

I wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately I found hair in my shrimp and grits twice—once while dining in and again in the remade to-go order. Given the price point, this was very disappointing. I hope the kitchen reviews its hygiene protocols.
The atmosphere itself was decent, and a few staff members were polite and attentive. However, repeated hygiene issues and inconsistent service overshadowed the experience.

Great food and atmosphere. The shrimp and grits were well prepared. The salmon was crispy and very flavorful on the inside. As for the atmosphere……DJ had us vibing with some R&B classics. The food arrived quickly and the waitress was very kind. Definitely would recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants a taste of the real Harlem.

Went on a Sunday for brunch and it was a vibe from start to finish. The atmosphere was dope, the energy was great, and the drink selection was elite. Every dish we had was on point. It was cooked perfectly, seasoned just right and full of flavor. Definitely one of those spots you want to lock in a reservation. Highly recommend.

Literally the best food I’ve ever gotten, food is amazing the vibe? Ambiance to die for!! Come here if you want a good time. Blvd Bistro deserves ALL the stars! The food was flavorful, the staff was friendly, and the owner went above and beyond for us and blessed us with free food. You can feel the love in the service and the dishes. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of Harlem’s gems.
