A Timeless Culinary Gem with a Slight Service Hiccup
After 25 years, this Michelin 1-star San Francisco icon, led by James Beard award chef Nancy Oakes, continues to impress with its delicious food. The House Special Berkshire Pork Chop was a standout, perfectly seasoned with a gorgeous crust and incredible juiciness. Other dishes, particularly the seafood and fish options, were executed with near perfection and offered welcoming taste profiles.
While the food was exceptional, the professional service, though attentive, felt a bit stiff and pretentious, which was the only downside to an otherwise fantastic experience.

Spectacular Experience with Amazing Service
My experience at this restaurant was spectacular. The food was of the highest quality. Dino, our server, was amazing.
He shared fascinating details about the restaurant's history, the owners' journey, and even the building's architecture and interior design. This level of service has made me very loyal to this restaurant.

Excellent Desserts, Great Atmosphere & Service
Unfortunately, we discovered this place too late during our trip and only had the chance to try their desserts on our last day. The atmosphere, service, and desserts were all excellent. We hope to come back to San Francisco someday to enjoy the full experience of this restaurant.

Disappointing Experience with Hidden Costs
The place and atmosphere were great ✌🏼. The food was good, but not great considering the price. We've had much better food at more reasonable prices in San Francisco.
The main issue was the pricing. We were told the fix menu was $128, but the bill showed the meat menu at $140. One of the appetizers arrived ice cold.
When we mentioned it, they heated it up and brought it back. We informed the restaurant manager, who agreed we were right and would have a new one made. The food arrived hot and we enjoyed it.
However, when the bill came, we were charged an extra $18 for this dish, which they said was for truffle mushrooms. We argued, but it wasn't resolved. Ultimately, we had to pay unnecessary money and left a very happy evening feeling unhappy.
I'm attaching the bill. This is a very high amount by American standards. We won't come again 😂🤦🏻♂️.

Amazing Food, Service, and Vibe!
My experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional. The pork chop and Bananas Foster dessert were absolutely amazing. I also enjoyed a phenomenal espresso martini.
The staff provided impeccable service throughout the meal. We loved the classy, old-school vibe of the place.

Boulevard: Consistently Excellent Food and Service
My experience at Boulevard was excellent as usual. The restaurant has maintained its success for 36 years, which is remarkable given the intense competition in the city. The service is incomparable, and the food is also top-notch.
I highly recommend it.

Classic Spot with Rich Flavors
My experience at Boulevard was that of a classic spot. The food was rich and flavorful, with dishes that were beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the perfectly cooked meats, fresh seafood, and seasonal vegetables that truly shone.
The atmosphere was warm and elegant, creating a setting that was perfect for a relaxed but special night out. Every dish felt thoughtful, and the desserts provided a sweet way to end a memorable meal. The service, atmosphere, and food were all rated a perfect 5.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would! My experience at this restaurant was amazing, with outstanding food, service, and ambiance. I made a reservation for a birthday dinner, and they went above and beyond to make the occasion a truly memorable night.
I can’t rave enough about how amazing the food was; absolutely every single plate was next level!

Charming Anniversary Dinner with Great Food
I visited this restaurant to celebrate my anniversary with my wife. The restaurant had cute seasonal Halloween decorations and menu, which added a festive touch. It's a great spot for couples and friends looking for a nice dine-out experience, though it might not be the best option for kids.
Overall, we enjoyed the great food and atmosphere.

Outstanding Pork Chop and Ambiance
My experience at this restaurant was truly outstanding. The ambiance was beautiful, and the food and its presentation were fantastic. I hands down had the best pork chop I have ever eaten.
While I usually prefer steak, I am so glad I tried their pork chop – it was exceptional! In fact, everything was outstanding, worthy of a Michelin star. I won't be disappointed and will definitely be back on my next trip to SF!
