My husband and I had dinner here. We both decided to have the 5 course meal that was $34.00 each. We thought that was an amazing price for what you got. We started off with our appetizers. I got the spinach dip with pita bread and my husband had the calamari, both were great. We then had soup. I had a tomato and spinach soup that was very tasty and my husband had a salmon egg drop soup very different and he enjoyed it. We then both had the mixed greens with goat cheese salad. It was small, but we both couldn't finish it. We were already starting to get full and haven't even had our main course yet. We had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and asparugus. The filet was so tender and juicy. It beat any fancy, expensive steakhouse! We both enjoyed the main meal thoroughly. We were so full, that we had our dessert to go. We ate it later and they were delicious. My husband had the cheesecake with fresh fruit and I had a chocolate, pecan pie that was delicious. If you want a nice romantic, delicious meal, go to the Boardwalk on the bistro. You will not be dissapointed. Can you believe everything we ate for $34.00 a person? Filet Mignon? Come on, you can not find that anywhere, but the Boardwalk Bistro!

Fantastic Mediterranean Cuisine!
by olivia99
Boardwalk Bistro is such a charming little escape so close to downtown! I like the daily specials.....there is always a rustic, old world style special. The lamb ragout is out of this world, as are the tagines, and boulibaisse. But I've dined on a poached salmon there as well that was impeccably prepared. Wine selections are solid. Plus live music during the week is a nice to dine by. Highly recommend!
Pros: The daily specials, daily wines by the glass, exotic spices and flavors spun with traditional ingredients
Cons: None

Good Mediterranean menu
by ddrewa
Pretty good service. Expect a little bit of a wait for your foodEuropean style. OK atmosphere, but nothing to get excited aboutthe place was actually pretty empty for a Saturday evening. The Caesar salad was bland. Crab-stuffed salmon tasted good, but not excellent. Presentation of food was very nice. Menu selection isn't huge, but if you're looking for some good Mediterranean fare, give it a shot. I don't know if I'll be back or not.
Pros: Uniqueness of menu, presentation of food
Cons: Bland Caesar salad

From Everyday to Gourmet
by addictedtosushi
Absolutely loved the tapas influenced appetizers. The use of the sauces for presentation were very impressive. after deciding on the entrees we ordered a bottle of Marques de Casares rioja, which was very smooth and paired well with the hot and crunchy trout and the seafood paella. As if the food was not enough we ordered dessert. My friend enjoyed the tiramasu and I have never had a pear dessert so delicious. We have plans on returning for the lamb tagine for dinner soon.
Pros: open mid day, assortment of menu, excellent wine
Cons: closed on Sunday
