14 James Beard Award-Winning Restaurants in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Chef Nancy Oakes won Best Chef in 2001 for her prowess at glittering restaurant Boulevard, just a block from the water. Then the restaurant itself took home Outstanding Restaurant in 2012. In 2021 the restaurant got a lovely facelift, yet the food remains simple, powerful, and well worth the visit." - Paolo Bicchieri

My wife and I were visiting family and friends on a Saturday night. My wife had a Blue Moon and I had a Maker's Mark with a Coke. Both drinks were delicious. My wife had a meatball sub sandwich and I had fish and chips served with house salad. Both meals were very delicious. For dessert my wife had a slice of cheesecake and I had apple pie a la mode. Both desserts were delicious and not too sweet. It was busy for a Saturday night. And our party had some of the food come out before our drinks. Nice family style atmosphere though.

Our first time and everything was perfect. Fast seating, courteous service, larger than expected portions and of good quality. The coffee was surprisingly good, too. A special shout out to our waitress "Ma."

Tried for the first time and had breakfast. Parking was tight but we got lucky with an open spot. Really nice interior with surrounding window views of the west lake area. Service was great. Very attentive waitress and you can tell she really listened when we ordered. Food not so great. Presentation disappointing. Look at the photos and tell me you’d pay almost $20 for each. Chicken fried steak was tough to chew. I expect it to be crunchy and moist. Gravy was too thick not runny, lacked flavor, and not enough covering the meat. Had to request extra. Eggs were over easy - at least they didn’t screw that up. We also had the hamburger eggs. Nothing to write home about. Toast wasn’t buttered like I had requested. Was charged $6 for a ‘large’ orange juice which was in the same cup size as the water. I wonder what a ‘regular’ orange juice looks like? Smooth jazz music overhead was competing with the ambient chatting noise it didn’t feel comfortable. Maybe they need a new sound system? Overall, we may decide to try something else next time. For now there are other places that can do better than Boulevard Cafe. Bill’s Cafe and Crepevine come to mind.

The special was prime rib. I guess I'm having prime rib! Food here is always good and the service is good. A good place for sit down dining with friends and family. We prefer brunch here but they have great lunch and dinner options too.

We arrived around 3:00 pm. Great service and big portions of food. Will definitely go back.

Pick-up order was ready within 20 minutes, so that was nice. The place was much bigger than I had imagined, and was lively at 7:30pm on a November Saturday, and felt bright and warm, unlike the dimly lit and mildly cold exterior. The salmon was fairly good. As were the vegetables and the rice pilaf. I think I would prefer the rice pilaf to be slightly drier though. Anyway 4 ⭐ overall. Recommend.

One of the easiest 5 stars I've given. We came here for Saturday brunch. Everything was great here. The service was fast and the food came out quickly. We got the Moose, eggs Benedict and Swedish lingonberry pancakes. All 3 dishes were fantastic. Large portion sizes and great taste. Will definitely come again.

What's better than solid comfort food, served hot and fast, by a friendly staff that always seems busy - but not too busy to ensure you're taken care of. The menu is simple, which I think is key to their execution ... who needs 12 pages of food choices, really? Nearby road construction and an awkward intersection right at the corner where the restaurant sits means you've got to be paying attention getting into the parking lot, but that effort is rewarded once you're eating. This nostalgic place has been here and operating since 1964 (when it started as a Lyons Coffee Shop & Restaurant) - the inerior has been made-over, but the exterior still evokes classic and cool mid-60s vibes. Good value, well-done food and great staff - totally worth a visit (or two)

Five of us ladies met for lunch today. It was outstanding. Jose, our server was excellent and on top of whatever we needed. The manager, Louis, was also very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. We started out with 2 starters to share, the wings and pork ribs. Both delicious, however, I want to go back and have those wings all to myself as a main. They were perfectly prepared, fall off the bone, tasty, yum, plus the side of Asian salad, perfect! We all had something different from Cobb salad to various sandwiches and I had the California mac and cheese, unlike any other mac and cheese. The cheeses were so good, and lots of chicken, mushroom, spinach and garlic. YUM Everyone came home with leftovers for tomorrows lunch. For dessert we shared a slice of huge chocolate fudge cake and a tiramisu cake. Parking was easy in the free parking lot and the restaurant was very clean with a mid century vibe! I'll be back, Boulevard!

Take your in-laws here. Boulevard Café has been a popular Daly City icon since it opened in 2005. It's the kind of place that gives a city character and Daly City would feel a little emptier without it. The goal here is a classic diner experience with some unique signature dishes. It's in a great location easily reached from Pacifica, the Sunset, and anywhere in between. Close to everything. Ambiance Feels more like a cafeteria than a café. Cavernous ceilings and hardwood floors make for a noisy space. The entryway has a nice retro touch, and the seating is cool. The whole vibe feels like it was built in the '60s or '70s -- probably the look they're going for. I found it endearing. Service We were seated quickly, drinks taken promptly, and our order followed shortly after. So far, so good. The service itself, however, was quite lacking. I don't need a whole song and dance, but do try to look like you're conscious. If Soviet-era Brutalist architecture could get a job as a waiter, this guy was it. He had all the charm of a Serbian loan shark growing impatient that we hadn't defaulted yet. Anyway, the food... I ordered the lamb burger, which sounded interesting, and my bestie ordered a light breakfast for lunch of toast, sausage, and fruit. She was disappointed that they didn't have margarine or any other dairy substitute for the toast, but oh well. The lamb burger came with feta and red onion with shredded carrot and lettuce on the side. Or maybe that was a salad with no dressing. (There was enough lettuce that it might have been.) I took a bite and it was dry. I asked the waiter for some mayo, which he dropped off and quickly moved on without comment. The mayo wasn't enough to save it. It was just bland. It really needed something more- like maybe lemon or tzatziki sauce. Also the bun was too soft and poor quality. It fell apart before I had finished, so I had to resort to knife and fork. The horror, I know. Bestie's brunch for lunch wasn't much better. The toast was cold and the sausage was room temperature. The fruit, however, was quite fruity. And that's what you really want in fruit. So high score there. The Service Again I hope this guy was just having a bad day. I asked for more iced tea with my glass set conspicuously next to my bestie's empty water glass. He brought another iced tea, but didn't even ask her if she wanted a water refill. That seems so weird. Is it just me? Bathrooms Bestie reported the ladies' room was clean and nicely decorated. Parking I went on a Wednesday and there was just enough parking. In my experience, it's always been packed on the weekend, so I am assuming parking might be tricky. Things to improve. * Add sun shade. My bestie was a dark silhouette as I was seated facing the window. * Keep water glasses full. It's easy. * Add some noise mitigation. Hero Shout Out! Busboy Juan Carlos was hustling, smiling, and just doing a great job. Turning tables fast and being a boss. Give that guy some Giants tickets or something. He deserves 'em! __________________________________________________________________ I'm a burger snob, as some of you know, but I don't expect a fine dining experience in a diner. I'm looking for that uniquely American diner experience. (See my review of Art's Café). I do expect good service and food that is comforting and delicious. Good examples would be Tommy's or Max's. Boulevard Café just didn't deliver like that this time. Any restaurant can have a bad day and miss the mark. I'll be back to try the banana foster French toast at some point. I'll let you know if I have a better experience. I hope I do because this place really does have some personality.

Came here for an early Mother's Day. I love that they have a parking lot so you don't have to worry about parking. Service was standard. Everyone at the table loved the schezwan pork ribs; they were crispy on the outside but tender and easily came off the bone. The alfredo was also one of the best I've had in years. The sauce stuck nicely to the pasta. Wasn't too oily or soupy. The Mediterranean plate was also good. The pesto was okay. It was outshined by the alfredo. I'll have to come back for breakfast. I heard they do breakfast right

My continued support of Boulevard Cafe, corner of John Daly Blvd & Poncetta is unwavering. With an elevated diner menu in a mid century modern setting that covers breakfast, lunch, dinner and a nice happy hour. Their generous portions of any of their PASTAS and SALADS are delicious and hits the spot. Any grilled proteins are spot on. Especially love starting with AVGOLEMENO SOUP or PRAWN AVOCADO SALAD, and any other mains favs like the GRILLED LAMB CHOPS OF NY STEAKS, FRIED CHICKEN, GRILLED SALMON, FRESH PETRALE SOLE, CHICKEN PICATA, and more. If I have room for dessert I'll go with their warm, comfort treat, BREAD PUDDING! Staff are nice, cordial and welcoming. Easy place for a nice meal any time of the week!

I have been here about three times. I think their breakfast food is mid. I went for lunch and dinner and the food was much better. Their grilled chicken with mashed potatoes is really good. The tiramisu was okay, but I have tried better ones. The interior is nice and generally feels like a diverse space. The service is good as well, very attentive servers. I think it's a great place to bring friends and family and I would love to try more of their dishes. It does get pretty loud though, at least the times I have been there, so it can be a bit over stimulating.

We have been going here from the start, celebrating family and friends. Had no problems for the most part, until Friday around 6:00. Came in asked for seats for 4, was more told not asked if the whole party was here. Seated on the East section. No problems seating and menu,ordered food. Service was lack luster, no one smiling or even talking. Asked for water to be filled, twice by two different bus boys. No water , I stood up to grab a pitcher of water and filled it myself. No one coming bye asking if everything was okay, usually they do this. Noticed that the hostess was just talking not helping staff. Was more interested in talking to her phone. I will be going to the sister restaurants, as for now this one is no longer on my places to go.

Came here with some coworkers last week and had a really nice dinner. What we ordered - Orzo Alexandra $20: I've never had this before and this was so good. Love the salmon and the white sauce. Each bite was packed with so much flavor!! The portion was huge and I got to bring it for lunch the next day haha - Schezwan Pork Ribs $16: This was a sweet & spicy Asian glaze ribs. I didn't think it was spicy which was good because I was worried it would be too spicy. Loved the side of salad! - Fried Calamari $19: This was such a great appetizer!!! It was such a bigggg portion too!!! - Fish and Chips $21: There was 3 huge pieces of fried fish and it just melts in your mouth. It's so good with the tartar sauce. I'd definitely get this again.

Came here for dinner with family and everyone enjoyed it. The wait for a weekday evening wasn't too long. The service was good but could've had more attentiveness on our table in terms of if we were doing okay or not. The food was delicious and served well. The ambiance was a bit more of a upscale but casual. Will return to try more of the menu.

My family and I have come here for years. It's always been a solid place for breakfast and brunch. This time, we came on Thanksgiving. We came early enough where there wasn't a line. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and checked in on us frequently. The swedish pancakes and brioche french toast are our favorite go to breakfast dishes if you want something sweet. It's big enough to share too. My parents loved the corn beef hash and country fried steak. We have yet to come here for dinner but I always see that it's busy when I drive by. Glad to have this spot in the Westlake area :)

Total comfort food - eating here makes me so happy. I can't believe we didn't try this place any sooner, since the architecture is so eye catching! The decor inside is mid-century too, and feels cozy and homey for any meal of the day. Boulevard Cafe feels almost outside of time, a kind of classic American dining we usually only catch glimmers of at restaurants today. The food is great, and especially for the prices. And they've got a big drink menu with some tasty cocktails, including seasonals. And the staff waiting the table for our meals have always been speedy, courteous, and friendly. There's a lounge in the back too, and I appreciate it makes for a place you can watch sports with a drink, but without putting a tv in the main dining room. You can feel the thoughtfulness, care, and attention that went into the space and goes into the food and it makes it feel like home to eat here.

My family and I all enjoyed the food celebrating our brother's birthday. Ambience was ok as it was late at night. Service was not very attentive from this specific waiter assigned to our table . I had to look for him to place our order, request for bread, napkins and refills. He didn't even come by to check if there's any need for boxes on our leftover. Didn't offer us any dessert menu when he was cleaning up ice cream buckets behind counter. Didn't come back to ask us to refill our drinks until I raised my hand to get his attention. Note that there were only few tables with customers but there were several waiters around...It was not busy at all that evening on a Thursday. Actually this is not my first time experience from the same waiter. But we still enjoy the food and it's very comfortable place for dining.

I've been here countless times and always enjoy the food but think I can classify the service as "spotty". For instance, I went recently with a friend and we were instantly asked multiple times in under ten minutes what we wanted to drink and what entrees we wanted even though our menus were still open. On the second visit from our server, we did order a drink. Then the cocktails came after the entree! We were not offered dessert either which was a bummer. It was more than 30 minutes before closing by the time we finished our meals so I'm not sure why we were rushed so much.

As far as diners go, this is one of the nicer ones that I have been to. There's plenty of parking but the lot was pretty full on a Saturday around noon. The inside is very spacious and more modern than your average diner. It's a great place for a large group. There is so much on their menu that there's sure to be something for everyone. They have all the usual breakfast staples as well as things like burgers, pastas, sandwiches and salads. I was hesitant about getting seafood but I tried their Scampi Prawns ($24) at the suggestion of our waitress and it was really good. The spaghetti was cooked just right and the garlic cream sauce wasn't too heavy. Everyone else in my group ordered breakfast and enjoyed their dishes too. This was the perfect choice for a casual meal for our group of 9. I would recommend it to anyone wanting good ole American comfort food.

I come to this place often with family today I came in and we were greeted very nicely by JJ our waiter. We started off with drinks and and a flat bread pizza we wanted to try something new, but we ended up not finding it to our liking due to the cheese. We ended up getting our food soon after. We got the New York steak and a pasta Alfredo. It wasn't busy so the attentiveness was a 10/10.

Boulevard Cafe is a must visit. There are so many things to love about it. The pastas are always spot on. The Lamb chop never misses. The steak has come out a bit dry, so there's no need to explore. Burgers and sandwiches normally are a safe bet. If you have a large party, graduation, birthday, celebration, this is your spot. Make a call and reserve a table. I've celebrated so many occasions here. Prices are reasonable, but it's not fast food. So check the menu to see if it's within your budget. I love my coffee refills for a Saturday brunch. Pro tip: parking can be difficult in the small lot, so drive around the apartment parking lot or park on down in the residential area along John Daly. See you soon Boulevard Cafe!

Omgggg, I come here all the time cause it's my fav spot since I moved here but today we had Emily and she just like made our morning lol. It was post birthday breakfast so everyone was hungover and she was just such a vibe! My friend was in desperate need of a sprite and she brought it like immediately lmao. We loved her, and I love boulevard. Food is always on point and the service is always good !

Prices went up portions went down, which I understand inflation. But in addition to that, the quality of staff also went down. From the smart mouth hostess boy (I would say man but this guy was childish) making some dumbass remarks, to the lazy ass servers who like to look busy but aren't actually busy. When asked "excuse me can we get a fork" immediately replied "let me get your server" mind you this wasn't even a busy night. On top of that there was some long ass hair found in my food. And Per the manager "it came from the air"...yeah ok sure. Never again coming here. Disgusted by the food and staff.

Had lunch last week and enjoyed being a guest along with three others. We were greeted right away and seated. It is a beautiful restaurant with lots of large windows.

Went here as a kid with the family and just recently visited. To sum it up, a solid spot that's on the pricier side. Standard complementary bread & butter. Fresh and served warm! Szechuan-Style Pork Ribs - 4/5 - sticky, flavorful, crunchy tips, and tender throughout. I wish there were more meat on dem bones but it was just an appetizer. Cole slaw also surprisingly hit with a nice mint/ginger refreshing taste! Cobb Salad - 5/5 - Made perfectly with the right ratio of ingredients including crispy bacon, egg, blue cheese, tomato, and dressing. +1 for the server splitting up the salad in two for me and my mom. Can't go wrong. Angel Hair Pomodoro with Chicken - 3.5/5 - It overall had a distinct Italian tomato/garlic flavor. If you get this, I highly recommend getting it with protein. It did feel overly watery (prob the tomatoes), which made the angel hair pasta feel super limp/soft and almost nonexistent with each bite. Not bad at all. Kids Mac-n-cheese - 4/5 - a small portion of decadent adult-like mac n cheese! I enjoyed it, my nephew although didn't vibe with it as he's used to just kraft (lol) Service - Friendly and food came SUPER fast. They were busy on a Wednesday evening, so it did take awhile for the server to take our order, and bring us the bill. Ambiance - gives off a clean homey diner feel with a 2000s vibe. My mom said to check out the lounge area next time, as it has a more chill and laid back setting

I have been coming here since 2013. I always come for breakfast and I enjoy the experience. However, today I learned that they don't offer 100% maple syrup. If the owners are not willing to provide 100% maple syrup then list it on the menu that it is not 100%. Otherwise, we think it is! Maple syrup is healthier. The other non natural contain high fructose corn syrup, which is really bad for people with diabetes for instance. Charge a little extra I would pay an extra dollar or so for real maple syrup.

I came here with my boyfriend and his family for dinner yesterday. The restaurant is spacious and has a nice, casual atmosphere. I ordered the Orzo Alexandra. It was delicious - creamy and flavorful. The salmon was soft and tender, and there was a generous amount of it. On the first bite, I could really taste the white wine, but after that, I couldn't taste it anymore. I got to try some of the other dishes that everyone else ordered, and everything was yummy. We had flan for dessert, and it was really good. The flan had a texture and flavor reminiscent of cheesecake and creme brulee. It was rich and creamy, with light caramel. I would recommend trying it, especially if you love flan. The menu is quite extensive, and I would definitely love to come back to try some of the other dishes. Oh, I also have to mention that their portion sizes are really good. I feel like you get a lot for what you pay for. The staff was nice and attentive.

Good place to get your American comfort food here. Great selection in their menu where which is a good place to take visitors as they offer variety of food. We came here for breakfast one time and as well as lunch and we were very satisfied. Service on both times we went here was good, no complains.

I came here with my roommate and my sister in the middle of my roommate and my move back to our formerly fire-destroyed and now rebuilt flat. We had already spent a great deal of time packing up the U-Haul with my brother, and he had a meeting he had to take, so he drove the U-Haul to his office, and I drove my roommate and my sister to Boulevard Cafe. I had seen it while trying to find the parking lot for the nearby Safeway about a month earlier, and I had wanted to check it out. Strangely, I hadn't read any of its Yelp reviews, so when the question of lunch came up, I just headed vaguely in the direction of Daly City with visions of Boulevard Cafe in my mind (but not knowing its name), and my fuzzy geographical approximations ended up being right on target--as usual. It looks and feels like a big production, but don't let that fool you. Boulevard Cafe is just one of those '50s-era large diners that is trying really really really hard to stay current. With its ambiance and decor, yes, but also with its faux-chic menu. Most people and places that try too hard are bad, but there's a funny thing about diners like this--they're usually much better than they themselves even understand, and if they were just themselves, people would probably like them better. The service was pretty good. My vegetarian sandwich was good. My sister ordered the first lamb burger she had ever had. She raved about it, and is still talking about it a month later. It's not a cheap place, but it doesn't feel overpriced. The seating arrangements are zany. There may be booths along the walls, but then those might just be regular tables with chairs. We were sitting in a line of booths between the wall seating and the counter seats. But strangely, our booths were open on both sides, so it would be technically possible for four people to approach the booths from four different places and still get in without having to wait for one another. I eventually got used to it, but at first, having a booth open on both ends on both sides made me feel like I was going to fall out into the aisle. They have a parking lot, which is one of the main reasons I chose this place. After all that packing and moving stuff to the truck, I was in no mood to parallel park somewhere and then walk five blocks to wherever we were going. Plus the GPS led us on a crazy, zig-zaggy way from Daly City back to our old (now new) flat. Thanks for the dining (and driving) experience, Boulevard Cafe. But you're really a diner.

I've been going here since I was little.   It's been a while since I've been here.   The place was pretty busy as usual.  Upon entering,  it looks like the place recently had a remodel.  The inside dining looks a lot bigger, and the lighting is way brighter.  The decor was simple and modern, but very inviting.     We were greeted and seated right away. Once seated,  we were immediately offered drinks and were given a few minutes prior to ordering.       We ordered: 1.  Country fried steak and eggs -  The country fried steak was well battered and crispy.   Hashbrowns were crispy and soft in the middle. 2.  John Daly with no tomatoes -  The scramble was hearty and flavorful.  3.  Joe's special - Perfect balance of parmesan cheese, groud beef,  spinach, and mushroom in every bite.   It was pretty huge that I had food for later 4.  2x2x2 - Ham with scrambled eggs and pancakes.  This came with a huge piece of ham.  My only disappointment is that I wish it had been with hash browns. 5.  Swedish pancakes - I loved the crunchy edges and the lingonberry butter.   Honestly, this was more than enough.  I ordered a side of bacon, which I ended up sharing with the family      The food here has always been good, whether it's breakfast, lunch,  or dinner.  The only downside is that the parking lot is small and gets full fast. I highly recommend this place and haven't had anything here that I didn't like.

Menu is like your ihop/dennys but slightly better because they have more variety. I actually really enjoy their clam chowder here. Mediocre place for breakfast/lunch but there's not many in DC so makes sense. Parking is a bit tighter in some places than others but at least there is designated parking lot. It does get pretty packed on weekends but the wait is never too long. Service is hit or miss. I've had some really rude waiters. My son's steak was ordered medium rare and it came out almost well done. By the time the waiter checked on us we were ready to go and he said we took too long to inform him. We couldn't even get a hold of him lol another got upset we asked for more crackers. I almost thought waiters were supposed to take care of you, I may have missed the memo here. There's Kin Kan not too far away that I'd recommend for a tastier brunch (Thai American fusion). I'm almost afraid to share this because it's always packed with long wait lists but I don't like to gatekeep. Eat well my friends.

All I can say is.. come here if you're in the area! Not crazy expensive, quick, friendly, & delicious! My family of 3 came on a Sunday afternoon, in which was pretty packed. Although packed, we were seated & attended to quickly! We got our drinks & order taken real quick & the food came quick, too! The waitress was also great! My wife had ordered a Cheeseburger & Mac n' cheese, my daughter had the grilled chicken & mashed potatoes, & I had the Carbonara. I had tried everything except the burger. The Mac n' cheese was good! Nothing super fancy, just Mac n cheese, but done right! The grilled chicken was also not dry & was flavorful with a hint of possibly lime, which was a good touch that I wasn't expecting! The mashed potatoes were good as well; smooth consistency & packed with flavor. My carbonara was great! Flavorful! The only flaw was that the noodles could have been cooked maybe 2-3 minutes longer & it would have been perfect! Overall a great experience!

The mid century design of the building is amazing with the glass walls. The food and be hit or miss. The fish and chips are large pieces of cod that is well fried. As is the fried chicken. The Caesar salad was oily and bland. Our server was nice but seemed to forget about us. I will return for another try.

This restaurant is located at Westlake. They have their own parking lot. However, it's kind of hard to find parking during their peak hours. We were greeted and seated right away upon entering the restaurant. They have an open kitchen. It's also kind of noisy in there. They do have an extensive menu. We decided to order the grilled salmon and the tutto mare. The food came out in a timely manner. The grilled salmon was moist in the inside. The mashed potatoes and sauteed veggies were tasty. The pasta for the tutto mare was cooked al dente. It came with a good amount of seafood. The parmesan cheese added an extra flavor to it. The server was friendly and nice. He came by to check up with us a couple of times. We will definitely come back to try their breakfast items and other entrees. Note: Keep in mind that they only allow 1 hour 30 minutes seating for dining there.

I found the food ok, but wouldn't come back. I came with family. I think the average of 3 1/2 stars is spot on. I got the Caesar Salad with shrimp and I found the lettuce slightly wilted. I appreciated that they have anchovies with it. I tried the calamari starter and I found it to taste weirdly soggy. I didn't eat another, because I was slightly worried that there was something wrong with it. My son enjoyed his hamburger meat and both kids ate a lot of my dad's alfredo pasta. Otherwise, there wasn't a lot to write home about. There is a parking lot with ample, free parking, which I really appreciated. The diner atmosphere is cool and reminds me of a Jetsons type building. Our server was very nice, so no complaints there. There was a sign that said a table has to average $15 per person. I'm not from San Francisco, so I don't know the impetus behind that sign, but I guess don't come here just to get coffee. Overall, I won't knock coming here if my family wants to again, but I'll never suggest it.

Hash browns contained far too much salt. Noise level is far to pound. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

First time at Boulevard Cafe. We honestly were hungry from the drive from LA and Blvd Cafe seemed solid with sandwiches and pastas so everyone could get something! Food: -Vegetarian sandwich (includes salad and fries): I loved this! Honestly it's something I would eat at home and it was HUGE considering it also came with salad and fries. I split this into 2 meals and I believe it was like $14-16 (I can't recall off the top of my head). Service: -The servers were great and had fun banter and were prompt and readily available. Appreciated them a lot! Ambiance: -Very comfortable, casual, dine-in sort of place where you can see friends or families or even solo people there to get a meal. Overall: -It was reliable for good food, price point, service, and especially since the four of us had such different cravings. I'd come back if I was in the area!

We highly recommend Boulevard cafe and ask for Emily!

A very popular place to get food in Daly City. It was my first time visiting this location and I'm pleased to say that it was a good experience overall. They were able to get me seated in a timely manner and my server was attentive in making sure I was taken care of. They deliver some delicious and warm bread while you wait for your food. The Chicken Asiago was delicious. Large portion and tasted great. Only complaint I can give is that it was very salty. Overall I'd say this is a great place to grab food. I would recommend arriving early to beat the rush of large groups. I would also suggest arriving early to get parking since their parking lot is very small.

Late dinner after being picked up from the airport on a Friday night and it was busy! My cousin has been coming here forever and judging from the way she and the staff interacted, I don't doubt it! Even it was busy that night and we didn't have ressies, we didn't wait too long- about 15 minutes. The parking lot in the back was full though-we snagged the last space. Service was friendly despite having 2 large parties going on at the same time. I ordered the Orzo Alexandra- delicious mix of tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms and salmon in a creamy sauce on top of pasta of your choice (my cousin suggested the angel hair which was perfect). If you don't like capers, be warned-they're not skimpy with it. It was so rich and garlicky and the portion is big! Hubby got the pesto rigatoni. It had just enough sauce so it wasn't drowning in it and very garlicky. Pasta was done al dente, just right! Cousin got the grilled salmon-moist and flaky. She also said the avgolemmano soup was very good too- that was another of her go-to. We didn't order it since we didn't want to over eat so late at night. It was a pity because they have an extensive menu. Portions are large enough to share IMO. Maybe another time!

It's been a little while since I last reveiwed Boulevard Cafe, so thought I'd do so now! Once again, I met up with some friends here; it's a good choice for a group with very differing tastes and needs as far as food choices go since the menu is pretty diverse in its offerings. Had a couple of meat-and-potatoes-only diners in the group and there were plenty of options for that! Prices have certainly gone up in the last couple of years, but that's to be expected with the increase in cost for everything from food to wages. Still, there are choices that are reasonable enough for most diners. One disappointment, though, the early bird dinner options are gone, so no more soup or salad + entree at a reasonable cost. They still bring the warm complimentary baguette and butter to the table. I love the heel of the baguette, but that's never served unless you ask. I asked the person who brought the bread to the table and she said she'd go check; she never came back with anything. Our waiter, J-J, was very patient with us. Since we hadn't seen each other in awhile, it took us a long time to decide what to order; we were too busy catching up with each other! While the others continued to gab, I decided to try my luck with J-J regarding the heels of the bread and he came through with flying colors! I got a whole plate full of warm heels and butter!! Thank you, J-J!! I finally ordered the Avgolemono (Greek lemon chicken soup) as my dinner. A couple of others had huge salads, one had mac and cheese, another had the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and veggies, and two more had the Boulevard Pasta (rigatoni, mild Italian sausage, mushrooms, arugula, cherry tomatoes, roasted garlic, chili flakes, asiago cheese). Everyone seemed to be happy with their choices; the portions were huge, so everyone had leftovers to take home except me! We were there for probably two and a half hours and not once did we feel rushed, although I kept my eyes on the diningroom to make sure there were always a couple of empty tables in case others wanted to dine. The staff at Boulvevard kept our water glasses filled and checked to see if we wanted drink refills; very nice service. Their great hospitality was noted and we shall return!

Always have great food and service at this cafe. But yesterday's experience was many levels above and I want to give a special thanks to our server, Emilee J. This was the first time at the cafe since I have needed the aid of a cane. She came to our table and asked if a booth would be better. It was for comfort and knowing that my cane wouldn't fall off the back of a chair creating a safety hazard. When we go back we hope Emilee is working that day.
