 | San Francisco Boulevard Reviews | Tips 1 - 6 of 6 |  |  | |  |  | Boulevard: Very Creative Menu & Decor - One of SF's Best | Tip Rating:     Satisfaction:      |  |  | |  |
This restaurant is a visual delight for the eyes, it's beautiful, elegant and creative. With vaulted brick ceilings, floral banquettes, a mosaic floor, and tulip-shaped lamps, the setting equals the exquisite food presented like a work of art. The attached photo was the best I could do, but a photo cannot capture the beauty and ambiance of this restaurant. Voted #1 each year in the Zagat Guide, the food and decor come together to create the ultimate dining experience. Chef Nancy Oakes is San Francisco's favorite. If you want a sample of California cuisine at it's finest, you will find it at Boulevard. It's expensive, but well worth it. The ambiance makes for a romantic evening with a view of the water and piers. Make a reservation, and save room for dessert. Although I'm not wealthy, every once in a while I like to splurge and enjoy the luxury and quality of an excellent restaurant . Boulevard is an example of the very best.
Anything that you would order at Boulevard will be delicious and presented in a beautiful way. Leave a Comment Theme: AmericanPrice: US$41 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 1 Mission StreetPhone: (415) 543-6084Directions: Embarcadero, near the Bay Bridge

Soft light filters through the bustling dining room, illuminating art nouveau details like sculptured light sconces and mosaic floors. The Embarcadero location ensures an expense-account crowd at lunchtime, with locals and gourmet-minded visitors enjoying the sparkling Bay Bridge views at night. When you call to make a reservation--and you should, well in advance--ask for a table in back, with a view of the Bay Bridge. It's quieter there and quite romantic.
Exceptional appetizers are the stars of Chef Nancy Oakes' seasonal menu. Stuffed with ricotta, a fried squash blossom pairs beautifully with a roasted porcini mushroom, dabs of pesto and tomato vinaigrette. Scallops topped by Dungeness crab salad rest on an artichoke puree surrounded by lemon butter sauce. Entrees can be uneven: A superb grilled lamb chop joins an underdone roasted lamb loin, while a New York steak with portobello mushroom dwarfs the accompanying potatoes and green beans. Better balanced is Petrale sole with fava beans and marinated baby fennel. For dessert, a combination of strawberries, pistachios and rhubarb in a rose-scented parfait turns out ravishing.
