Boulevard

December 11, 2007 - Have been wanting to go to this place for a long time now. It's considered one of the best restaurants in San Francisco. Prime location, 1 Mission. Very classy, nice ambiance. They had the place decorated for the holidays so it was very pretty.

Showed up early, around 5:30p, and were seated promptly because there were lots of open tables. But despite that, we were seated at a funny location where my chair kinda stuck out into a walkway... I don't know why we were put there when there were so many more tables open that seemed a little less in the way. Oh well.

We had cocktails which were yummy and started with calamari. The calamari was surprisingly different from what we were expected. I guess we thought we were getting fried calamari but it came out on a small place and there were just a few pieces... It was good, just a surprise.

For dinner I got a fillet mignon. My sister got a hen. Both were delish. Then for dessert we had chocolate cake. Overall the food was delicious. Absolutely tasty and well worth all the praise. However, it was not cheap. My palate does not agree that the food was worth what we paid... Or maybe it's my bankroll that does not agree. Either way, it was a perfectly lovely experience, however I do not feel that it was special enough to warrant another visit in the near future, simply because I cannot afford it. Great restaurant though.
