Boulevard Bistro put Elk Grove on the map! In a town with only chain restaurants in evidence, this place gives us bragging rights! You will not find anything of this quality without a mighty long drive to the Bay Area or Monterey! Always something very pleasing to the palate and reasonably priced too! Our FAVORITE for out of town guests and foreign visitors. The owner/chef is so creative and even his steak is the most flavorful we have ever tasted! Romantic for dinner, great for lunch or brunch! The best!

Lunch, brunch or dinner always an enjoyable experience. Great atmosphere, one of the few restaraunts that you can actually have a conversation without talking over the music.
Bret is always creative in preparing a special vegetarian dish for me. Debbie is the best. Thanks guys. Cheers!

Boulevard Bistro is divine! It is a large city 4 star experience in the city of Elk Grove.
What a find! Bret and Debbie make us feel like we are a member of the family. What more could you ask for, great food, great service, and great friendship.

The service at Boulevard Bistro is awesome! Everytime we go, the owner stops by our table to say hello. It's nice to have an original alternative to the chain restaurants that have taken over Elk Grove.

For elegance and consistently great food and service, no where compares. For Elk Grove residents, Boulevard Bistro is in a class unto themselves.

The service is excellent and the menu is incredible. Bret does an awesome job preparing fantastic dishes...and the shrimp cakes...out of this world good! Debbie is the ultimate hostess.

Thank you for offering fine dining and not compromising comfort and cordiality.

Love the food and atmosphere. Deb and Brett are always so friendly and the servers are fantastic. Brett is always serving up some great specials and the wine selection adds to the meal very nicely. You have to try his home made cheesecake. This is the best white tablecloth restaurant in the area. You have to take "out of towners" here.

This is the best restuarant ever! We had our reception there and everyone commented on both the excellent food and service. Brett and Debbie pay attention to every detail. It's been about 5 months since we had our reception there and when I recently ran into Debbie at the WOOF Whine & Dine she remembered my name as well as my hudbands and also remembered that I don't like garlic when offering me an appetizer that she had for tasting. If you're looking for a romantic evening with excellent food and service - look no further. This place is a gem and a slice of heaven!

Bret and Debbie thank you for bringing such a beautiful, intimate restaurant to our town. My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary dinner there last night. Adriana was a joy to chat with and so very attentive. Thank you for making us feel so special. We'll definitely be checking out brunch soon.

My wife and I had dinner here last night for our 4th wedding anniversary, the food, the ambiance and service was outstanding. This was our second anniversary in a row that we've spent here. It is now going to become "our place", that's how special this place is. If you haven't experienced Boulevard Bistro, please do, you'll be glad that you did. Bret and Debbie, you're the best!

Our absolute most favorite in Sacramento, perfect for a last minute lunch, like today, and elegant for a special occasion! The food is consistently delicious and creative, the wine list is varied and affordable and it's close to home.

Let's be real here - I have eaten at the Kitchen and it was the most fabulous dinner but it about broke the bank. 98% of people don't eat there regularly!! Try to get in, too!

For a special night out for a really good meal - you can't beat the Boulevard Bistro!

You can actually carry on a conversation in a wonderfully intimate atmosphere. The food is expertly prepared and the service is just right. Their creme brulee is my all-time favorite. Boulevard Bistro is a gem.

Brett and Debbie are VERY nice people. Their dog, a yellow lab named Trinity (for the Cajun trinity of celery, onions and peppers) is a sweetheart, too... When I visit I will have to check out what everyone is talking about - including the notorious herb garden!

Looking for a place to impress someone from out of town or a place to celebrate a special occasion, Boulevard Bistro is the best place in Elk Grove! We have been there 5-6 times and each occasion has been great! The fish (shrimp encrusted halibut) is cooked to perfection, the appetizers (foie gras) and soups are delicioso! Great wine selection. Exceptional desserts and French pressed coffee! Highly recommended...

The food and service are always outstanding and the dining room environment is elegant and subdued. Everyone in your group can participate in a conversation without raising their voices - a rarity in today's youth oriented noise boxes we call restaurants.
