Boulevard

$$$$, American, Embarcadero

User Rating: ***** 4.9

Fodor's Review:

Boulevard. Two of San Francisco's top restaurant celebrities -- chef Nancy Oakes and designer Pat Kuleto -- are responsible for this high-profile, high-priced eatery in the magnificent 1889 Audiffred Building, a Parisian look-alike and one of the few downtown structures to survive the 1906 earthquake. Kuleto's Belle Epoque interior and Oakes's sophisticated American food with a French accent attract well-dressed locals and flush out-of-towners. The menu changes seasonally, but count on generous portions of dishes like sweetbreads saltimbocca with tender chanterelles, crisp-skinned pan-roasted squab with fresh figs, and flaky butterfish with shrimp-and-lobster-stuffed artichoke. Save room (and calories) for one of the dynamite desserts, such as the caramel brownie tart with raspberry coulis. There's counter seating for folks too hungry to wait for a table.

We ate at Boulevard in June '08 and it was absolutely wonderful. Everything from wine to dessert was outstanding. We WILL return!
