Kurt Steeber has sold Boulevard Blue (12718 Larchmere Blvd.) to Said Ouaddaadaa. In December of this year Steeber himself purchased the restaurant from original owner Andy Himmel, who operated it for five years. Ouaddaadaa, who also owns Bodega (1854 Coventry Rd., 216.932.3060, bodegaoncoventry.com), intends to briefly close and retool the restaurant before reopening it as a prime steakhouse. “There is not a single place in this area to get a decent steak,” he says. “Right now, anybody who wants a steak has to drive over to Morton’s or Red.” In addition to USDA prime steaks and chops, customers can expect a raw bar, plenty of fresh seafood, as well as other house specialties. The interior will be freshened up to give the room a warm, upscale feel. Steeber hopes to open a restaurant in the Detroit Shoreway area.
