On a quick trip to San Fran (first time there) we were lucky enough to get into this trendy restaurant. Glad we did. We had a quick drink at the bar where classic drinks get a twist and yes they were good. The food was flavorful and presented wonderfully. Portions were a little small but was to be expected for...

When we visit San Francisco we most always make a reservation to dine at Boulevard. The food is delicious, service good and the wines selection is very nice. I always start with the beet salad (when in season) and the pork chop or filet - can't miss. Boulevard is a wonderful San Francisco treat.

Went to Boulevard on a Saturday night at 9:30 pm. I was by myself so I sat at the bar. Started with the roasted beet salad---very good. I would go back just for this dish alone. I then had the pork chop----I went with the bartender's recommendation and it was very tasty. They have a very good selection of "wines... More

Tasty with good service and regular pricing for such restaurant. Even though we had no reservation (we were 5), they made an effort and found a place for us and when they had the opportunity, they arrange for a better place.

Good food but this is a city where there are many fascinating choices. Be sure and walk the Embarcadero, see the new lights on the Bay Bridge and go to the Ferry Building.

We dined here on the advice of our hotel and weren't disappointed. We shared a beet salad and then both of us selected the swordfish which was delicate, moist and full of flavor. Wine list is good although we'd love to see them highlight more of the local vineyards as it would seem to fit their ambience. We didn't have... More

Excellent steaks and wine selection. We brought our own wine and for a corkage fee they decanted and served the wine. Really enjoyed the prompt, efficient, professional service. Atmosphere was great and restaurant was packed --so make reservations!

This is a truly locals restaurant with a fabulous array of food. the service was excellent. We had a business dinner of 5 and the bill without wine was $300. Well worth it. You MUST make reservations well ahead of time or plan on sitting at the bar if you are a single or close couple.
