 Located on a corner at Grove and Gough streets in Hayes Valley, Boxing Room beckons with impossibly high ceilings and caramel colored fir walls. Beyond its modern fixtures and ambience are homey touches such as a large blackboard listing a selection of beer, oysters on the half shell and daily specials. Owned by the Absinthe Group (Absinthe Brasserie & Bar, Arlequin, Comstock Saloon), The restaurant is an homage to New Orleans and Southern Louisiana cooking. Chef Justin Simoneaux isn’t reinventing traditional dishes, he’s refining them. This means a carefully curated ingredient list and quality local produce. You could easily fill yourself on the selection of raw and charbroiled oysters, hushpuppies and deep-fried alligator with rémoulade. But if you brought your appetite, go big. There’s gumbo, etouffée and smothered okra with Gulf shrimp. Try a seafood po’ boy (catfish, shrimp or oyster) with house-made tartar sauce, or fried chicken that arrives piled on buttermilk mashed potatoes with gravy. This food begs for beer, but wine is available on tap or by the carafe, pitcher or bottle. If you’re too full for dessert---offerings are Southern and a bit heavy---you can’t go wrong with a scoop of bourbon ice cream.
