Dining room at Boulevard, San Francisco, CAThe belle époque details at the entrance, mosaic floor leading to a bustling bar and Pat Kuleto-signature-style sculptured sconces definitely grab diners' attention whether they are expense-account locals out for lunch or dressed-to-the-nines tourists partaking in one of San Francisco's highest-rated restaurants. Boulevard seems to have found the formula for actually appealing to a wide audience and succeeding most of the time. It may be the high-energy room, which could make anyone feel they are at the best party in town, or the extremely well-trained staff who ease you from door-to-door and course-to-course. But let's not forget the seasonal menu, large enough for anyone to find something worthy of splurging. Chef Nancy Oakes continues to wow us with a long list of appetizers including a tuna tartare and carpaccio accented with ginger, jalapeño and spicy mustard, Dungeness crab salad with avocado and caviar, or plump scallops in a vibrant green salsa verde with Meyer lemon risotto. Grilled Angus filet mignon comes with the triumvirate of potato gratin, morel-sherry cream and sautéed arugula, while the Sonoma duck breast comes bacon-wrapped with Italian chestnut soup and shaved Brussels sprouts with roasted apples. The bulging wine list is sure to have something for every flavor on the table.
