Boulevard Restaurant, San Francisco

We grabbed our usual seats at Boulevard last Friday evening - counter space at the kitchen.   I've actually never dined at a normal table in this restaurant and that's fine with me considering that reservations are hard to come by on short notice. 

I started with the Monterey Red Abalone which was a great combination of seafood and vegatables (Heirloom Tomato) with an incredible Green Tomato Tartar Sauce.  For my main dish I had the Eden Valley Berkshire Pork Prime Rib Chop sitting on a bed of Spaetzle - which was cooked perfectly.   I asked the waiter for a Pinot and he recommended the Peay, Pomarium, Sonoma Coast 2006 - it was such a great glass of wine.  A smooth Pinot that went perfectly with the Pork. 

Rachel went for the tried and true vegetarian plate which is always a great surprise for her.  She may disagree but I think Boulevard offers the best vegetarian option for a fine dining restaurant in the city.

Service was just a bit off that night - but still pretty good.  I highly recommend this restaurant to those visiting San Francisco.  Consistently a winner and still my favorite.
