Boulevard

It’s always thrilling for my family to sit at the chef’s dining counter. Love seeing how things come together and the talented chefs make magic for the senses! Beauty created in organized chaos! It’s like watching a real-life version of a Food Network show - the thrill of seeing your meals being prepared. I’m always excited about the plating part. The whole experience is very personal with the chefs chatting with you and answering questions. This is our go to place for fine food!

Boulevard is clearly a polished, high-caliber restaurant. The staff was attentive and professional, the décor gorgeous, and the Mission Street location hard to beat. The food was very well prepared and thoughtfully executed, though portions were on the modest side. Our crab salads were flavorful but light on crab. The lamb was tasty but leaned fattier than expected. The filet mignon, however, was excellent—tender and flavorful—though it arrived a touch red in the center despite being ordered medium well. With a bill of $325 before tip, we were hoping to be a bit more wowed. Boulevard offers a refined gastronomic experience, but for us it fell just short of the high expectations set by its reputation.

Amazing experience! Made reservation for our anniversary and they did not disappoint. Arrived few minutes early and we got seated right away. Our first time here and staff are helpful with recommendations. We loved the friendly welcoming staff and romantic ambience. Menu is pre fixe 3-course meal. Food tasted really good and plating was so pretty. Love the cocktails and desserts. Will definitely come back.

In a region overflowing with extraordinary dining, from the hidden gems of the East Bay to the Michelin-bright stars of Napa and Los Angeles, standing out in California’s culinary landscape is no small feat. After all, this is San Francisco, where even the coffee shops sometimes have tasting menus and the sourdough has a fan base. Yet Boulevard, nestled steps from the Ferry Building, manages to rise above the noise. And in San Francisco, rising above the noise is impressive, considering half the noise is construction for something that may or may not ever be finished. From the moment you arrive, the bustle of the Embarcadero seems to fall away. The staff greets you with warmth and professionalism that instantly sets the tone. Inside, the space feels like its own world: calm, elegant, and i

25 years on and still going strong! Food at this Michelin 1*, San Francisco icon, operated by a James Beard award chef - Nancy Oakes is as delicious as before. The unrivalled, well seasoned, House Special Berkshire Pork Chop, with its gorgeous crust and ultra juiciness, was and is definitely the star of an attractive and varied menu. Other dishes, especially seafood and fish related, were all executed to near perfection, with welcoming taste profiles. The only downside was the professional service though attentive but felt a bit stiff and pretentious.
