BLVD
4th Street and 18th Ave SW on the SE Corner
- Food rating 2.5/5
- Ambience 3/5
- Service 1.5/5

There was a few of us in there. I had the pork spring rolls and the Ahi Tuna Tartar. The Ahi Tuna was really good, the spring rolls were cold. Ahi Tuna Tartar $20, Spring rolls.. I don't know, $16?

There was 5 or so of us and the bill was around $300, with drinks. (we were in for appetizers and planned to go elsewhere)

I don't like bitching about restaurants, because I'm fully aware that you can go at a different time of the week and have a great time. I gave the Ambiance a 3/5 because the place actually has a pretty nice layout, and looks like it would be a neat place to go if staffed a little better.

What I didn't like about this was that my drink took 20 minutes to get to me, twice. The second time I ordered two.

Our waitress screwed up one of the girls orders (brought a salad out when no salad was ordered), she STILL charged us for it because there was a "communication breakdown somewhere here". We didn't argue with her, we just wanted to get out of there.

There was our group, and 3 other people in the place, our food took forever and our drinks took forever. I would have had a better time if our waitress wasn't so impersonal and careless.

I've heard you only get good service in there if you're a badboy though. That's completely okay with me, as I won't ever go back there, nor will my friends. I don't quite buy into the mystique of just how awesome and badass you have to be to enjoy that place. I'm not particularly impressed with anyone who is rad-dude enough to get good service there.

All of us do pretty well for ourselves, so I guess we'll take our cake elsewhere.

I recommend Seven on 8th Ave and 5th Street SW instead.

-Cheers.

The food and service are horrendous, especially for their price points.

Interchangeable lol.

Can't believe you were still charged for a salad that you guys didn't order. What a joke.7 is less douchey but still up there imho.

I've always had great times partying at Mercury. I love the place! Unless the crowd has changed recently I would say it's 1000X better haha

You know what though, the best time I ever had at a bar was at Amsterdam Rhino haha I always want to go back but the lineups are too long so I just go elsewhere as I don't feel like greasing the bouncer $20/head

Rhino's solid. Love that joint. Broken City too. It's easy to stray from the douchebags if you want to have a good time and hang with good people. Dickens pub too.

There's been an interesting diaspora of folks since the underground closed.

I think Killkenny is pretty damn expensive too. Oh. And Viscious Circle.

Cheapest I've been is Manhattan's in Edgemont.

Rhino does have damn good wings I must admit (Jalapeno Cheddar Bacon... mmmmm.....)

Rhino is by far my favorite place, and I will never go to BLVD because it just screams of douchebags

Rhino is great. Shane and anthony are friendly bouncers.

Always have a blast there.


haha max_boost, you go to mecury because you're..... OLD!

I went to BLVD about 3 years ago or around the time they first opened for dinner. I would have rated everything at least 4/5, plus there was a live jazz band playing... I guess things have change.

I've been to the living room, Merc and so on, I didn't think Merc was toooo bad. All those little places around Ming are pretty neat. You gotta enjoy pretentious 30k/year millionaires though..

ive been there once. i know its full of douches because a guy i used to hang out with turned into a HUGE douchey coke dealer and that was his hangout spot along with other guys i used to hang out with that turned into douchey "big time" dealers.

one and only time i was there and saw those guys and knew what the place was known for as soon as i saw them. didnt have a bad time, but it was definitely awkward to be there with all the other boys that didnt associate with them anymore either.

enough rambling. its a shithole for drug dealers and the like.
edit: i remember the door guy with crutches! was that you jaymez?

lol...that phone was such a good "deal" lol...it was spankin new and had just come out then.

I rmr they were a hassle to deal with when it came time to pay, figure that one out.

I think i saw mark working out at good life in west hills a week ago, he never said hi and neither did i as i wasnt sure if it was him. But the few times ive been to BLVD after we had left he did say hi, surprisingly.
