Boulevard Restaurant and Lounge

I was with a group of ladies for a planned Saturday out and we decided to stop in and check out Boulevard for lunch. We're all new to the area or visiting from Calgary but heard great reviews about the chef. Checked the menu and something for everyone! So we thought... arrived and were told by the host that its a limited lunch menu (it was 1:30 pm) and the main menu didn't start for a few more hours. I said we checked the website/menu online and didn't see a lunch menu, just a breakfast and dinner menu. I was very quickly corrected by the host that "Its right there! The snack menu!" Like I should somehow have known because its "been like this since September" that there is a limited mid day menu called a Snack Menu, including for weekends when people are likely to be out and about for a lunch spot. We are not familiar with Red Deer as were new/visiting and the no one goes looking for meus assuming that a snack menu is supposed to be the lunch menu and no times are listed for when each menu is "in effect". We were not impressed but avoiding confrontation further, decided to stay. Pretty sad when you have a noted Chef and 4/6 guest order chicken fingers... So much for a great lunch experience with a chef who should know how to bring great food to the table. The veg spring rolls and firecracker shrimp were average at best. The chicken fingers scored well but everyone was disappointed this was all the menu could offer our group instead of a tasteful experience. Service was rude. Food was average. Experience overall was a 1/5 and guess where we wont EVER be back for lunch again. Also skipped for dinner last time we ventured out for something new. You lost a customer after that. Leaving a generous 2/5 review

Recommendations: Train your staff on having polite manners. Update your website/menu to clearly label a lunch menu and times when each menu is offered.

Vegetarian options: If you go for lunch, limited vegetarian options.

The food was absolutely amazing but what really stood out to me was our server. My cousin and I went for dinner and never have time together we ended up paying our bill and talked for a quite a bit after. The server was so polite even though we squared up she still came by to check in on us to make sure we didn't need water etc. She was so kind and it was so needed. Thank you!

The restaurant was the in-house option at the hotel. Mostly asian-inspired food, the flavours are good and service is very friendly!

I tried 4 different plates. All decent sized portions.

Gingerbeef was crispy yet tender and full of flavor, bacon wrapped scallops with a Miso sauce were absolutely to die for. ? Next I had the baked butter and cheese jumbo shrimp with pita bread. "Jumbo" wasn't really what I received but tasted amazing none the less. Shrimp are normal size like what you'd buy in a shrimp right.
Pita bread was perfect, dipping in the melted butter cheese. Mmm, mmm, mmm!

Last but not least, the Truffle oil fries with parm and the best garlic Aioli I've ever tasted. By far the fav dish of the evening. These are actually AMAZING! Crispy, salty perfection!

Server was great! Checked in often but not too often. Cleaned up table after I'd finished each plate.

Great prices! Wonderful lounge setting! Must try!

The curries are to die for! And the skewers are addicting. It's amazing every time.
