Under the superior and artful direction of Chef Nancy Oakes, Boulevard has drawn to itself like a magnet Financial District workers and their clients, tourists, and diners from the Bay Area and beyond, all in search of the promised culinary holy grail.

Back in the ancient days, before I was Mrs. — yea verily before the dot-com boom — Boulevard was the place we always went for special occasions. We dined here Monday night to celebrate Cameron’s newfound employment, and it tickles me to no end that Boulevard is just as good as ever.

This place has been top Zagat-rated for years. Ya gotta go, this is a Fave. Cool Pat Kuleto décor, great eats. Service is very efficient, not as personable as Danko but whatever. Seared scallops, filet mignon or salmon, any salad, great cosmos, any dessert. We even got last minute table for 6 on New Years Eve with fireworks over the Ferry Plaza!

A Chocolate Toffee Cake from heaven that we had for Chris's birthday dinner at Boulevard. I love that cute little Happy Birthday sign they put in there, very nice and it tastes better than 5 waiters singing to you.

During the "Belle Epoch" (beautiful time) in France from 1890 to 1914 it is said that 'la joie de vivre' infused everyday life. Boulevard, located in the 1889 French-styled Audiffred Building has taken the architectural hint and constructed a time machine to give you 'la joie de vivre' for an evening.
FULL REVIEW
I went to Boulevard when I first moved (back) to California three years ago. I had a pork chop, I remember, and a glass of some Napa Syrah or another. And it was so good that for the next four months, whenever I went out to eat, if the restaurant had a pork chop (or loin or tenderloin) offering and a Syrah by the glass, I'd get it. I tried hard to repeat the experience, but nothing quite measured up.
