We hadn't been back to Boulevard, a San Francisco classic at One Market Street, in over a year. At first glance, there were some old standards on the menu. But looking further there were clearly some new additions. As a matter of fact, we found out that a few items were being debuted that very evening: lucky US! You gotta try the mozzarella with baby artichokes and TRUFFLESSSSS; delicate flavors, tasteful, delicious... Butternut squash carpaccio with tiny baby bell peppers stuffed with herbed goat cheese, a playful riff on autumn colors and flavors, followed.
Since we had decided to satisfy our hunger (and curiosity) with mostly appetizers, we went for it and ordered two more. House cured bacon embraced the most tender quail on a bed of tiny corn cakes (in the picture). At the heart of this marriage was a sliver of apple, giving us the sensation that we were eating a rich foie gras. Boulevard continues to represent innovative California-French Fusion at its best...and we love the playful twists.
