We were celebrating our 34th anniversary and this was the first time to have found Ocean Boulevard. The food was good, but should have substituted the rice pilaf and Sea Scallops with the Black Risotto. Shrimp appetizer was delicious and the Caesar Salad with Anchovy dressing was awesome! The table view near the window was romantic night to never forget!
