"The Family Brunch is great - pick 4 items to share and one entree per person. The food is high end, not like your typical run-of-the-mill brunch fare. They are not stingy with it either - we had so much food we brought some home! Went for Farher's Day amd was very impressed."

"Maybe the last time we were here was an off night, but our recent visit this past Tuesday made up for it 20-fold. Delicious food and very good service made for a very rewarding evening. Thankfully, the menu is a lot less confusing and has a lot more varied selections. The scallops, short ribs and ribeye are not to be missed."

"Boulevard Five72 is on my short list of NJ restaurants, the ribeye is usually what I have when I visit and it never disappoints. My friend had tile fish which was a special and it just melted in your mouth. The staff is gracious and the prices are great considering the quality of your meal."

"This was our second visit to Boulevard 572, and it was just as good as our first experience. The gazpacho was fresh and perfectly sized, and a nice entry to the meal. The shrimp and corn chowder was very good, and my wife very much enjoyed the artichoke ravioli. The entrees were excellent, the lamb was perfect in both seasoning and the level of medium rare that I had requested. The cavatelli and short ribs plate was very tasty as well. The desserts were excellent, the carrot sorbet being the highlight for me. My only complaint is that the drink prices are a little steep. We will definitely be back to this restaurant, and look forward to many mroe good meals here."

"My spouse and I both felt that this was the best dinner we've had since moving to NJ from NYC. The food was AMAZING. Recommend the crab/avocado appetizer, and both fish entrees (cod and salmon) were excellent. We will definitely be back, and while it was a tad on the expensive side, we felt it was worth it. We really enjoyed it!"

"I can't believe that I did not find this restaurant sooner. It has been here for something like 4 or 5 years. I have now been here twice in the last couple of months and both times it was excellent. Food is great and their prix fix menus are good bargains (especially on Fridays when it is all lobster). Service is attentive, but not fussy or rushed. Beautiful interior.
Just wonderful!"

"This was not my first time at Boulevard and it will not be last. Everytime I go it just keeps getting better. The Lobster Prix Fixe menu they offer on Fridays is unbeatable! The service is always friendly and very attentive. Staff is knowledgable about the menu and the chef. I keep meaning to to come for their Sunday Brunch; that may have to be my next reservation!"

"The restaurant is very nicely setup. It is the perfect place for a business lunch, or even dinner. The selection on the menu is very simple, and easy to understand. I felt my salad was a little overdressed, and the fries were a little overdone. I had the hanger steak which was prepared well. Since I was so full, I could not try any of the desert sections. Since it was a business lunch, I did not explore any of the cocktails. There were either no specials, or the waiter did not tell us about them. I would go back again. It's a fun place to go with a group, relax, and unwind after a crazy work day!"

"My 2nd visit to Boulevard Five72. We drive 15 mins to eat here - food is amazing!! Best seafood risotto I have ever had - huge pieces of lobster, shrimp, scallops - perfectly prepared. Shrimp and corn chowder was delish too! Salads are interesting. Wine list and cocktail lists are great. I thought that my pink grapefruit cosmo was a bit strong (most people would like this) and they offered a different drink or to lighten it up w/ juice and sugar. Drinks are huge! Decor is lovely. Energetic scene but not noisy - you can have a conversation. Think"

"There were four of us ladies with varied gastronomic interests -- our dishes were: fish, lamb, rib-eye steak and pork. The appetizers were all good, we ordered the crispy calamari, oysters, and salad with avocado. We somehow expected some flaw in the main entrees, however, when they were served, we all said in unison, omg, this tastes so good! The desserts were swept to the plate as well...creme broule and some fancy chocolate concoction. So there, five stars for the food, service and ambiance. We knew this was a pricey place but since this was lunch, the tab came up less than we expected. To those who want the great-gastro-fine-dining experience without breaking the bank, they have pre-fix lunch menu for $24."
