Friends of ours recently had their farewell party here because they had just finshed working here and wanted to support the owner. I know they had paid for and organised the band and the food and a pretty decent crowd had gathered. The night was going really nicely when the owners girlfriend started swearing, abusing and pushing my guy mate. They both confronted the owner expecting him to solve the situation who initially did by taking her outside. He then did a complete 180 and let her back in and told my mates to stay away from her. My mates who were having the party, me and pretty much everybody else that was there were disgusted with the owners choice to let her back in and when my friends voiced their opinion that she needed to go (which turned into an argument) he kicked them out and shut down the band. (11pm a good 2 hours before it was supposed to end). How could the owner be of sound mind to make these judgements when he had been drinking throughout the evening. We are all gutted for our mates 1. For the owners choices that night 2. Because I know they both went the extra mile while working there. I would not recommend going to the boulevard for a drink, meal or function and I certainly wouldnt recommend anyone to work there under the current management structure.

Had a lovely time at the Boulevard recently as I was visiting from the South island to Tauranga for my regular business trip. Had the Carbonara Pasta which was divine, the staff are polite and courteous, especially the owner went out of his way to accommodate me and my wife as they were full on a Sunday afternoon. The live band is awesome. +++++++ Keep up the good work, will come and visit again.

Very poor form, when i ordered the courtesy van last year at the checkout i was told no way…i inquired why and they told me the boss of the place was too drunk to drive me!…not a good look. The place needs a kick up the backside especially management. You have the potential Boulevard to be a very good Bar/Cafe.

We went here for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Hubby ordered the minute scotch steak with beef & red wine jus, I ordered the crispy skinned salmon. Both meals where beautiful. You could drink the jus from the steak. The salmon was cooked just the way it should be, neither undercooked or overcooked.
Very nice staff.
We will sure to be back often.
