    The food was okay. Salad tasted like a salad kit from the store, soup was limited in the bread bowl, and the steak I ordered was not cooked the way I ordered. Our waiter was at many times no where to be found. I was a bit shocked that the restaurant allowed a patron to bring in their pet and have the pet be in the aisle, on the chair, and have food on the floor. They did go out of their way to bring my sister a birthday dessert. The view from our window was very lovely but we will not be returning next time we are in town.

    Our party of6 was seatd promptly in the very back room with great views of the Bay and Alcatraz. The guests in this area had our own waitress and bus person who were great. We ordered a variety of seafood selections and all were delivered at the same time, hot and delicious. The two kids in our party ordered from the children’s menu and had excellent pizzas that were surprisingly large. And the bottomless sourdough breadbasket was outstanding! Wonderful time for sure!

    I was pleasantly surprised by Bistro Boudin. I really thought the food would be mediocre, just capitalizing on the historical nature of the business - much like many of the restaurants along Fisherman's Wharf. However, I found the food fresh, for the most part local/regional, and very good. Even if it wasn't attached to such an historic (and important) name in American cuisine, it would be a very good restaurant. And when you leave, be sure to check out the room across the hall with several plaques and pictures telling the story of the Boudin family and the history of sourdough bread in the Bay Area.

    We had dinner with friends Saturday night. We were able to get a reservation easily and a lovely table with view of the bay. We each ordered seafood from the menu and everyone was very pleased with what they had variety.  Our favorite part is the fresh sourdough they set on your table as soon as you’re seated. The restaurant is perfect place to bring out-of-towners.
