Best Restaurants for People Watching in Bayview

We returned to Boulevard after a long absence-due to the Pandemic, work and not going out for fine dining. We were very pleased to see that the fine restaurant that we have visited in the past was as great now as then! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, which they made note of, did the prix fixe menu, had cocktails to start and then wine with dinner. Our server was excellent as well as the rest of the wait staff. We were greeted at the door and all who encountered us on our way to being seating wished us a Happy Anniversary. Our meal was superb-we were given the amuse bouche of the day--special crackers, endive & house made burrata dip. We chose as our starters the lobster bisque & the tallerini with uni & cheese. We both had fish as the mains--Halibut & Sea Bass.. Both were presented with sides and special sauces. Simply exquisite!!! We chose some fine wines that were suggested by our waitress. For desserts we choose the lemon bar/tart and the sticky pudding. Our plates were decorated in a celebratory fashion.. John had a scotch & I had decaf coffee. The meal ended with a small decorated mint & chocolate" Oreo style" star cookie. We will be going back very soon !!!!!!

We loved the experience! We went with 4 people, everyone was very happy with their food as it was all interesting, creative and delicious! Service was spot on, great ambience though pretty noisy. It's not cheap, we spent 100 dollars per person including the tip for a shared appetizer, an entree and one drink (no dessert ). It was well worth it and we'll surely come back.

Bon Delire does a great job of bringing a little slice of France to the Embarcadero. The decor and ambiance is decidedly very French, in a good way! The food is excellent and reasonably priced by San Francisco standards, the service is friendly and welcoming and the vibe is lively and fun! Highly recommend the deviled eggs, the escargot and the roast chicken but honestly, we loved everything we ordered! We can't wait to return!

The Progress never disappoints. We sat at the bar for a pre birthday celebration and had the best time. First, if you get to have the pleasure of Brent the bartender and server was outstanding in every sense. While making tons of cocktails, he was able to guide us through the menu and pick the best choices for our meal - all with a beautiful grin. The food is above excellent, imaginative, well prepared and presented. Service staff is efficient and just the right amount of friendly. A definite go to!

I am a regular at STK but it was the first time I brought a dog to the restaurant. I was able to enjoy happy hour here with my giant dog! The waiter even surprised my pup with a beef patty from the chef. Thank you for making my Monday night magical.
