    Boulevard never fails to impress with its delicious food and outstanding service. We chose it for a special occasion, and the experience was truly exceptional. The staff greeted us warmly and even had a thoughtful card to celebrate our event. The seasonal menu was flawless: we started with a perfectly prepared ahi tuna, followed by a tender filet of beef as the main course. For dessert, I opted for the toffee pudding, which was the ideal sweet ending to an unforgettable evening. I’m already looking forward to our next celebration at Boulevard and another impeccable dining experience!

    This was our second time at Commis we sat the bar and had the pre fix with wine pairing! It was amazingly delicious and the service as always was excellent. We enjoyed trying the new items on the menu and some old favorites. If you are looking for a unique dinning experience look no further.
