   What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Every bite was incredibly delicious and the service was impeccable. First we were served a little extra starter of veggie spread with 2 potato chips, 2 endives & 2 cucumber slices. For our appetizers we had the Hamachi crudo and the heirloom tomato with burrata. Our mains were the salmon and the halibut. Everything served along with the main courses supported and enhanced the fish. For dessert we had the affogato (evidently new on the menu) and the strawberry concoction. We shared each plate and also a fantastic Pinot Noir that had been suggested by our server. A perfect place to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion. Not too loud when going relatively early (6pm) and sitting closer to the front against the window wall.

    Our 8:30 pm reservation was a mistake. We were not seated until 9:10 and then the service effort level was already winding down. We did our best to keep our waiter doing his job. We ended up trying to finish our meal while the tables were being set for tomorrow.

And the most recent decor enhancements added the perfect ambience. May she and her staff continue from strength to strength.

Beautiful hand painted wallpaper, unique stone ceiling and murano glass chandelier. Then Gaby our server walked in and took our evening to a new level. Thank you Gaby!! The priz fix dinner menu has great choices and all six of us loved it all. Can’t wait to come back.

    We have waited far too long to return to Boulevard. Even with COVID and the remodeling, we have put off dining at Boulevard for well over several years, our loss. Boulevard has been a favorite of ours for more than a decade, we gave our grandson, now 29, a choice of four restaurants which we'd take him to, all high-end. He didn't hesitate, he chose Boulevard. Marilyn and I started with martinis. I had the braised scallops for a starter, Marilyn the Ahi, she followed with the Rack of Lamb, Eric had scallops and Lamb Chop. Marilyn said the Rack of Lamb did not meet her expectation, every other dish was excellent. We ordered a half bottle of cabernet, a better value than by glass from a very nice selection. Since this was a fixe-price menu ($95 each) we ordered dessert all around. The Chocolate cake was good, but it didn't match my Apricot sorbet fruit dish. Expensive, but worth it especially for a dining occasion extraordinaire.

    This was my second visit to Boulevard... the first time was in 1993, just after Nancy Oakes opened the place. Nearly 30 years later I didn't know what to expect. But what I got was a darn near perfect evening of dining out in San Francisco. When we were led to our table, I knew we were in for something good, for we two were seated at what I felt was the best table in the house, with views on the restaurant, the kitchen line, and the nicelly-attired diners. Even with that kind of start, though, the food can be a worry. But Boulevard delivered a succession of plates that kept my spirits bright – and you know how hard that can be with me! We ordered our dishes to come as small, separate course which we shared. We even shared the glasses of wine with each course. The kitchen and our server were wonderful in accommodating us. Every plate was very good to excellent. Thank you, Nancy Oakes. Thanks you chefs. Thank you servers. A good time was had by all. (Well, by me at least). I'll be back before another 29 years.

    Continues to provide an outstanding dining experience in food & service. However I was surprised that in the dining room they went to a pre-fixed menu. If u wish to order a la carte, you have to sit in the bar area. The heirloom tomato salad & steak tartare were excellent. So fresh.

    We finally went back to Boulevard after the remodel and COVID. The service was excellent, prompt and efficient. The food was thoughtful and each plate beautifully presented. The new pricing based on ordering three plates for $98.00 meant we really didn't have the appetite to eat two desserts--we normally share dessert because it's just too much food. So one dessert we just didn't eat. I wish they would rethink this approach. We highly recommend for a special occasion.

    I had 3 starters. The Seared Sea Scallops were huge meaty and sweet and not over cooked. The Softshell Crab BLT was smacking great ,biting into the sandwich one could taste the crab along with the bacon ,juicy slice of tomato and leaf of lettuce. The huge disappointment was the Australian winter truffle which someone in the kitchen actually sprinkled with a bit of salt completely ruining whatever truffle taste there was (which there wasn't). Over sauced didn't help either. Lastly the Pavlova was a Frisbee shaped disk filled with a tiny amount of passable Peach Ice Cream, 2 measly mealy slices of peach and 4 underripe blackberries. Since this is Northern Cal and they have fantastic produce especially during the summer mushy peaches are a sin. Of course this restaurant is one of the very few that is open on Tuesdays as most of the big ones aren't so maybe thats why it was so busy . The saving grace but not by much is that the service was friendly and professional if not a little stressed. And I didn't like that my asking the kitchen to omit the tarter on the BLT was ignored.

    Always a celebration to dine at Boulevard. New menu (starter/main/dessert for $98) has a lot to offer in terms of ingredients and variety. One thing missing is the description of the preparation of the main courses. Not all are roasted or sauteed as expected. Even though our server informed us that the Alaskan Halibut with golden chanterelles & pickled cucumbers in brown butter, yukon gold potatoes & new zealand spinach was poached. It didn't hit the mark for my expectations. More like a spa experience than the decadence and depth of flavor I was hoping for. My advice is to ask about the preparation...this one was something I'd avoid. The service staff was excellent and professional, I think we recognized some from years ago which is a testament to a good establishment. Extensive and reasonable wine list, plenty to choose from for under $100. Desserts were wonderful with plenty of in-season fruits and of course a chocolate cake to enjoy. Always enjoy the "small bites" before and after dinner. Will will come back again with a bit more attention to the menu.
