We are never disappointed at Ocean Boulevard. The cocktails are always something to look forward to! One of my favorites is an Aviation which they make perfectly. I had the tuna starter for an entree and my husband had the swordfish. Both were delicious. I especially enjoyed the chocolate truffle special for dessert. Abd the service, as always, was on point.

Excellent meal as always. We sit at the bar so we get served by Christine. She is a phenomenal bartender. Food was delicious and hot. The beef tip appetizer was so tender. We had the silky snapper special and scallops. So very good. The macadamia tart and caramel ice cream finished off a fantastic meal.

My wife and I went for my birthday. This is the second time we have been there. I had Duck and my wife had Scallops. Both entrees were delicious and prepared perfectly. After dinner, our waitress who was excellent, brought our dessert which was adorned with birthday candles and Happy Birthday written in caramel. I would recommend the Ocean Blvd Bistro most enthusiastically and without reservation.
