Boulevard

I took my husband to Boulevard to celebrate his birthday. Everything was impeccable from the services to the food. We had a 3-course dinner. He was raving about how great everything was. Glad the restaurant has been survived all these years. 😍

Beautiful and classic restaurant with great food and drinks. The service was phenomenal, the food mouthwatering, and the atmosphere incredibly chill. We had a fantastic time on our date night here. Highly recommended to try their lamb!

Another amazing dinner at Boulevard last night. We were seated immediately for our 5pm reservation and started off with one of their signature cocktails.

Dinner is prix fix so we selected our starter, main, and dessert. After being offered some of the 4 bread options, our starter arrived. The remaining courses followed at a timely pace.

Everything was delicious and impeccably done! The service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely be going back again soon.

I have been curious about Boulevard Restaurant located in The Audiffred Building at 1 Mission Street for years, so when friends invited me to join them there, I jumped at the chance. The atmosphere, enhanced by its Art Nouveau theme, is very welcoming, as is the wait staff. With a tasty martini in hand from the full bar, we were escorted to our table which, happily, seemed to be in a location where we could hear one another. Next time I will make notes about the unique features of each dish, but alas, all I can offer now is that every bite was delicious!

Boulevard is deserving of my first five star review as a Google Local Guide. Everything about the dining experience was worthy of the highest praise.
First, I recommend at least business casual attire, however if you want to dress fancier this place is elegant enough to do that too. Definitely a great place to use a sophisticated statement piece or outfit.
Upon entry, you are greeted with beautifully decorated interior and a bustling, yet tasteful and inviting atmosphere. I did find the seating layout a bit crammed at first, but I digress.
I would recommend booking a reservation a week in advance for the standard dining room, especially on weekends. You can try your luck at the bar or Chef’s Counter as these options are first come first serve. Even though we made a reservation, we decided to sit at Chef’s Counter as there was an opening and we could be seated earlier than our reservation.
This establishment has a corking fee if you bring your own wine (which we did). They also decant the wine if you so choose.
The multi course experience has a cultivated list of seasonal options for each course. If available, I would recommend the Pacific Octopus, the Berkshire Pork Chop, and the Seven Layer Cake (photos of these three are attached). As some would say, “Food is art” and this philosophy rings true here in each of their dishes.
Pictures and words do not do the entire experience justice and it is something that you must do yourself. Unfortunately, I did not get my receipt emailed to me like they said they would, so I cannot give a specific price breakdown. Here is a rundown of what we ordered and price (from what I remember):
Corking fee - $50
Multi-Course experience - $120 per person
Espresso Martini and Vodka Martini - $30 each
Total - $480 (that is including tip and taxes for two people)
Yes it is a lot for a two hour experience, however if it is a special occasion, a business dinner, or you’re really into fine dining, I cannot recommend this place more.

5-Star Shout Out for 12.19.2023. We were celebrating the holidays at Boulevard by sitting at the Chef's table/bar for dinner. What better way to decide what to order. The holiday decor & atmosphere was very comfortable, homey & lavish. We started with a split of the Hebrart champagne to accompany two starters, the Duck Liver Mousse and Ahi Tuna Carpaccio. Both were fresh, generous portions. After watching the chef preparations right in front of us, Constantinos, our server, confirmed our selection of the Filet and the Pork Chop as house specialities. He was 110% correct. They were both delicious as confirmed by 2 empty plates with few crumbs. A lovely Pinot complimented the selection. We rarely eat dessert but had watched the painstaking preparations during our whole stay and could not resist. The Tiramisu and Devils 7 Layer cake were out of this world. Fortunately, half of each went home with us. We highly recommend our selections and seating near the amazing chef & staff. JnJ

Excellent food and service in a beautiful setting. All the dishes were super fresh and cooked and seasoned perfectly.

The HIPPOLITE GIN MARTINI was fantastic, the ravioli very good, the pork was the “best cook all night.” Wine suggestions brilliant. I should have skipped the chocolate desert, but I had to chose something from the fixed menus, and what I did eat was very good.

Hadn’t been here in over 10 years but it has always been a family favorite. It definitely did not disappoint! Excellent flavor and texture balances. A great place to dine and create memories.

Great meal at Boulevard.

3 course meal was plentiful. Mains are especially tasteful and the stand out of the 3 courses.

The starter was great but desserts didn't match the standard of the previous courses. Still good - just not the same level.

Staff were excellent and friendly throughout.

Atmosphere was a mix of business and couples for a Thursday night.

Amazing place! Food is 10/10 if not more. 3 course meal is perfectly sized so you can enjoy and savor every bit. Restaurant gives a proper old school vibe and has stunning decorations. Our server Dennis was above and beyond and was genuinely nice to talk to during dinner. Had a really good time and will definitely go back. Highly recommended

I’m in love with this place! This is the trifecta — exquisite cuisine, fantastic service, and beautiful ambiance that transports you into another place and time.

While we were given the mixed option of three- or four-course menu for our table, we all opted for the four-course. We started with amazing cocktails followed by a beautiful wine to pair with our dinner choices. We savored every sip and every bite.

You’ll want to take in every bit of this place. From the spectacular surroundings, the sounds of guests enjoying their time, the flavors of the food and drinks that dance in your mouth, and the incredible service of the friendly staff.

Take the time. Spend a little. Live and love life. Cheers!

We'll start with how lovely and helpful our server Madeline was. Such a wonderful human who guided us through the menu so confidently it showed how much she actually liked the menu herself! Anna the manager was also a delight.

Now the food... It was so beautifully presented I didn't want to eat it! But then, once we'd tried it, everything disappeared pretty quickly. Each dish was beautifully and delicately put together to bring about such a great combination of flavours. We had the tuna tartar, the ravioli and the steak (which was absolutley devine). The wine was also wonderful. One of the nicest experiences we've had in a while. Thanks to everyone involved!

Wonderful business dinner at Boulevard. We all loved our food and the 36 page wine menu is one of the best anywhere.
Make a reservation in advance and try and sit by the windows. It’s also wise to peruse the wine list beforehand.
Boulevard is an amazing EXPERIENCE!

This is a fantastic restaurant. The ambiance is intimate and relaxing. The staff is top notch and the food is even better.

We had steak as our main course and it was grilled to perfection. I would recommend to get a reservation ahead of time. However we were lucky to find a spot right at the bar.

Bill can add up pretty fast, especially with drinks, but I would highly recommend!

Excelente food. Pricy, but worth it. Service very good. Menue of 3 courses had the right portions.

Two of us dined here.
Excellent food. Attentive staff. Good portion.
Highly recommend its pork chop.
Their cocktails are very tasty as well. I had gran market.

Absolutely delicious. Everything was great, the service was fantastic. This is the perfect place to have a special fancy dinner experience that is actually good and filling food.

This place is so amazing!! Great service and great price! 3 course is only $96 per person! I got Hamachi, pork chop and coffee cake.. it was my best choices!! Hamachi was light but very delicious, pork chop was super juicy and good, end with coffee crunch cake which was beyond good!! Between meals, they gave us veggie dip, bread and fruit jelly and chocolate covered fruit. Ordered coffee Martin with tito.. and it was very refreshing!! I will definitely will come back for more!!
