Went for a special advertised Thanksgiving dinner. It was overpriced and nothing special. $46 plus for an advertised special Turkey dinner that was poor. Was expecting a Prix Fixe dinner with courses.,Could have ordered a similar turkey plate at any diner for around $12. No sides dishes, no dessert included, no appetizer. Just a turkey plate, under cooked vegetables, uneditable turkey giblets, mashed potatoes and a couple small pieces of white meat turkey for 46 dollars. Feeling very ripped off. Probably a nice place for tourists just ordering off their main menu, I wish I had.

We had a reservation for 1pm. They Sat us at a high-top, which was not accessible for one of our guests. There were empty tables and they said they would sit us at one instead. They took us back to the waiting area and took 15 minutes to re-seat us by cramming us in to a 4-top (there were 6 of us) instead of joining two tables together. The other 4-top next to us remained empty throughout the time we were there. The service, overall, while pleasant was slow and sub-par.

Have been to bistro boudins twice since sept n both times terrible service. First time lady stress had attitude, didn’t check on us n didn’t want to make accommodations to our order. Last night was atrocious, no one came to our table got 15 mins, no water, no bread, no hello…nothing. It was usually 15-20 mins between seeing anyone to help us. Half way through oysters ran out of cocktail sauce n horseradish n had to wait 15 mins before seeing anyone to ask for more. Had yo get up at end n ask for our bill there were 3 tables left (including us, snd past closing. God awful service

My lunch companion and I were treated to a lunch at Bistro Boudin; We had such a wonderful time. Started with the Crab and Spinach Dip; she had the Petrale Sole, me the Dungeness Crab Louie (of course)! Real chunks of sweet crab and a elevated Thousand Island Dressing - sublime lemon butter sauce on her sole, which was perfectly cooked. The sourdough bread; amazing, the service kind and efficient; the ambiance? how do you beat the bay view, including "The Rock" Alcatraz on a clear day. Here's to 175 more years Boudin - and many return visits for me!
