    Gary Danko never disappoints. I started off with the glazed oysters, and my husband had the lobster risotto. Both were incredible. As a main course, he had the tuna which was outstanding. I selected the salmon in a potato horseradish crust. The crust was not what I expected. (more like a potato pancake with salmon inside ) but it was delicious. Restaurant looked beautiful for the holidays and although it was crowded, it was not too noisy. We were with another couple and had no problem carrying on a conversation. All in all, still one of the best in SF.

    This was our 31st year celebrating Christmas at Boulevard. We have had the same table every year . Even as our family grew, the birth of our son, then his girlfriend, who became his wife. Even as the world has changed Boulevard has been the one constant that hasn’t. From beautiful decor, amazing food and wonderful people. Thank you Boulevard for making another Christmas perfection. I hope to see thirty more years of Celebrating at your amazing restaurant.

    This was our second time at Commis we sat the bar and had the pre fix with wine pairing! It was amazingly delicious and the service as always was excellent. We enjoyed trying the new items on the menu and some old favorites. If you are looking for a unique dinning experience look no further.
