And it was!!! Boulevard in San Francisco was truly a
memorable dining experience.
According to MICHELIN guide inspectors,
“Housed in one of the city's most historic buildings, this
Belle Époque stunner is still breathtaking after more than 20 years, with
glamorous mosaic floors, colorful glass, and polished bronze at every turn. The
Embarcadero-adjacent location offers lovely views of the Bay Bridge and the
water, and business lunchers as well as evening romance-seekers adore its
transporting vibe. Chef/owner Nancy Oakes is known as a pioneer of Californian
cooking, with comforting takes on standards like Dungeness crab with avocado
and ruby-red grapefruit, burrata served with a side of shaved kale, and flaky
halibut over a mashed potato cake. Sweets are notable: try the pear- and
apple-studded winter symphony crisp or creamy butterscotch pudding with pecan
granola for a bit of bliss”.
We were there for our dear friend’s birthday and oh boy,
aren’t we glad she selected such an awesome place to celebrate her special day!
When we entered the restaurant, we immediately greeted with an upscale vintage decor with romantic lighting. We felt like movie stars from the 1960s walking into the lobby of some luxurious hotel. We were seated at a comfortable table right next to the window where we have a view of the Bay Bridge, which looked absolutely stunning that night.
Our server was professional, knowledgeable and approachable. We all indulged in
appetizers, entrée, desserts and wine. They were all super luxurious. It’s
truly a must visit in the city!
What a lovely night!
