    One of the few culinary tastes I don’t think I can duplicate at home. Loved the variety of choices available and the attentiveness of the staff. Everyone was so pleasant and classy!

    Wonderful dinner with great service in the refreshed Chou Chou. Everything was delicious but especially the fresh crab/avocado salad and rack of lamb. My husband enjoyed his glass of Bordeaux. Highly recommend!

    We returned to Boulevard after a long absence-due to the Pandemic, work and not going out for fine dining. We were very pleased to see that the fine restaurant that we have visited in the past was as great now as then! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, which they made note of, did the prix fixe menu, had cocktails to start and then wine with dinner. Our server was excellent as well as the rest of the wait staff. We were greeted at the door and all who encountered us on our way to being seating wished us a Happy Anniversary. Our meal was superb-we were given the amuse bouche of the day--special crackers, endive & house made burrata dip. We chose as our starters the lobster bisque & the tallerini with uni & cheese. We both had fish as the mains--Halibut & Sea Bass.. Both were presented with sides and special sauces. Simply exquisite!!! We chose some fine wines that were suggested by our waitress. For desserts we choose the lemon bar/tart and the sticky pudding. Our plates were decorated in a celebratory fashion.. John had a scotch & I had decaf coffee. The meal ended with a small decorated mint & chocolate" Oreo style" star cookie. We will be going back very soon !!!!!!
