    These guys own like two blocks of parking. I went to their cafe, bakery, and restaurant. I did parking validations at each and after spending more than $200 they had the gall to charge me $45 in parking fees. Insane!

    When we have visitors come to town, we always take them to Boudin. The staff are excellent. The food is consistently good and usually, you can get a view from almost every table. The atmosphere is welcoming and I love the downstairs gift shop. It’s always clean, including the facilities. It is a solid place to visit and have space to have good food, drinks and share time with friends and family.

    Very nice place for lunch. Quick friendly service. Good food. Discounted parking in the lot out front. We parked there in the morning and used the streetcar to get around.

    Went for a special advertised Thanksgiving dinner. It was overpriced and nothing special. $46 plus for an advertised special Turkey dinner that was poor. Was expecting a Prix Fixe dinner with courses.,Could have ordered a similar turkey plate at any diner for around $12. No sides dishes, no dessert included, no appetizer. Just a turkey plate, under cooked vegetables, uneditable turkey giblets, mashed potatoes and a couple small pieces of white meat turkey for 46 dollars. Feeling very ripped off. Probably a nice place for tourists just ordering off their main menu, I wish I had.

    We had a reservation for 1pm. They Sat us at a high-top, which was not accessible for one of our guests. There were empty tables and they said they would sit us at one instead. They took us back to the waiting area and took 15 minutes to re-seat us by cramming us in to a 4-top (there were 6 of us) instead of joining two tables together. The other 4-top next to us remained empty throughout the time we were there. The service, overall, while pleasant was slow and sub-par.
