Our favourite Restaurant

We had dinner at Boulevard, which according to Google maps, was 1.5 miles from our hotel near the Embarcadero waterfront. The sun had set by the time we walked to the restaurant and we enjoyed the street lights and lively crowds on the streets in the Union Square area. Closer to Boulevard, it was quieter as the office towers were empty and there were fewer people walking outside.

Boulevard is located in the 1889 French-style Audiffred Building one of the few buildings spared from the 1906 earthquake. Its interior is Paris Belle Epoque with a long narrow room, hand-blown art nouveau glass light fixtures, pressed tin, steel girders and artisan ironwork throughout. The look is warm and stylish.

We were seated near the Steuart Street end of the restaurant where we could see the lights on the Bay Bridge. We really enjoyed the ambiance of Boulevard, busy and friendly staff, and the interesting decor.

My husband and I had dinner at Boulevard twice before in the past year and loved it so much we wanted to return with our children. We were not disappointed. The emphasis is on fresh seasonal and local products to provide exceptional taste, French in cooking style but without an overly fussy preparation. Quite Californian in my mind. The menu has a good range of choices and the hardest part is making a selection.

Our meals were outstanding (see the photos) and service very good. They have an excellent wine list and even though we felt we had splashed out, the total bill was slightly less than Farallon. It was our last dinner in San Francisco and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We found San Francisco to be a marvelous place to eat and were glad we did enough walking and other activities to offset any guilt about how much food we ate.

Boulevard is this girl’s favorite "nice" restaurant. Nice is an understatement, really. This place is beautifully appointed, well staffed, and absolutely delicious. The food is never disappointing... always inventive and new.

It is pretty pricey, and will definitely bite you in the wallet, so budgeters beware. But if you are in San Francisco and are prepared to spend some money on a nice evening, then go for it. Boulevard makes for a romantic evening, too, with a view of the water and piers. Be sure to make a reservation, and never skip dessert - handcrafted and sinfully yummy, each one is a work of art.

The restauant looks casual at first with a brick, pub-style look, but the menu is very appealing with great service. Food is imaginative. I'm told this is a difficult reservation to get. Reservations are a MUST!
