    Excellent service! Leo and the rest of the staff were friendly and attentive. Food was great as usual. I have been going here for 20 years and ate at Boulevard and Waterbar this past week and Foreign Cinema was my favorite!

    Always An amazing experience! Everything on the Menus is dependable and superb. We had an extra person and a miscommunication on our reservation however Val the lead hostess and manager made a huge effort to accommodate us and ensure we could fit our guest. I’ve never seen a manager go through so much effort and be as gracious as Val was and go above and beyond to help us out. Thank you Val.

    Last night was an incredible dining experience! The menu was full of highlights, but the meatballs were tender and flavorful, absolutely perfect. The octopus was another standout—perfectly cooked with just the right balance of char and tenderness. The variety of spreads offered was a delightful surprise, each one bursting with unique flavors that paired beautifully with the fresh bread. To top it all off, the cocktails were expertly crafted and a treat for the taste buds. What truly makes this place special is the owner, who is always so friendly and welcoming. Their warm hospitality makes you feel right at home and adds a personal touch to an already exceptional experience. Can’t wait to return!
