    Our table was nice and comfy. Our waiter Dennis was personable, professional and very helpful. We loved our food and really enjoyed our evening. The tables around us all seemed just as happy.

    I don’t think I’ve ever written an Opentable review… But we love this restaurant, it doesn’t always need to be a special occasion to celebrate the moment. I also like traditions, soft shell crab season is short but sweet and nobody celebrates this rarity like Boulevard! To be at Dana and Nancy‘s table and in their care, is always a memorable experience I want to thank everyone who contributes to our meal and moments I love walking past all the chefs, seeing how they work, and being led to our table and cared for by the attentive and kind Front of the house staff. I feel that San Francisco is coming back in a big way in this restaurant is a pillar of strength in that endeavor.

    Boulevard is always exceptional, which is why we keep returning, especially as one of our go-to choices for special occasions. The special occasion we attended last night was my husband's 70th birthday, and we were treated like royalty. Our server, Dennis, was outstanding; thoughtful, knowledgeable, anticipated our needs beautifully, and was just downright fun. Paying $20 for a drink, when one thinks about it, is absurd, but we understand why, and appreciate the care that goes into keeping Boulevard as unique as it is and are willing to break the bank once in a while to go there.

    Jennifer, thank you so much for the kind words! And thank you for your visit, it was a pleasure hosting you. We are so thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your experience, and will be sure to share the feedback with Dennis; he is a gem and we are lucky to have him as part of the team. Here's to many more Boulevard memories! -The Boulevard Team
