Start with pan-seared scallops or crispy Pacific oysters at Boulevard, the James Beard Foundation's 2012 Outstanding Restaurant national award winner from owner-executive chef Nancy Oakes, then move on to entrees such as local petrale sole, California white sea bass and California lamb prime T-bone. From
Open Table and the restaurant:
"Since its opening in 1993, Boulevard restaurant has been hailed as one of the best restaurants in San Francisco. Created in partnership with designer Pat Kuleto, the elegant, yet warm and welcoming interior of Boulevard is the essence of the Belle Époque style. It is a glorious setting for Chef Nancy Oakes' hearty, flavorful, beautiful cuisine. American regional flavors, French-influenced style, enthralling design form the entire experience at Boulevard. Located in the heart of San Francisco's revived waterfront area, the historic Audiffred Building is the ideal home for Boulevard."
"Nancy Oakes was a pioneer in producing contemporary American cuisine when she opened Boulevard 15 years ago. Her creations are complicated and extravagant: a tangle of house-made linguine with bacon, white truffles, Parmesan and a runny free-range egg on top; or squab with roasted mushrooms, two kinds of truffles and foie gras."
