Boulevard

EMBARCADERO. A historic, waterfront building, dazzling Art Nouveau decor and sumptuous food hit all the right notes at this always-busy restaurant. Lively yet romantic, the place puts folks immediately at ease and readies them to delight in chef Nancy Oakes' creative cuisine. Her contemporary dishes include roasted veal tenderloin with roasted white beets, Sonoma duck breast and braised pork cheeks. Attentive servers, a knowledgeable sommelier and a great wine list also please guests, who return to Boulevard again and again.
