But I enjoy it most for some of its peculiarities, like taking the elevator to the restrooms.
Or its lint discrimination policy - if you are wearing grey or light clothing, you get a white napkin; if you are wearing black or dark clothing, you get the black napkin.
With my grey suit and white napkin, I was enjoying a guava lemonade while one of my guests was enjoying an orange iced tea. The menu had many delicious options, but not all lent friendly (see somerville Lent).
Very quickly I knew this will be a far better dining experience than last night's dinner (see Tourist Trap Dinner in San Francisco).
The experience started with the Cara Cara Oranges & Medjool Dates - a very lightly dressed arugula salad served in between pieces of cara cara oranges (simply red navel oranges) and dates over a local farm's sheep ricotta.
Pistachios dressed the plate further, and all sprinkled with cocoa nib, coffee powder and tangerine syrup.
The vegetarian lunch option is a medley of accompaniments to main dishes: Gigante Beans with Mint, Green Garlic & Bean Puree; Fondant Fingerling Potatoes with Asparagus and a Dijon Mustard Dressing; a Rye Spaetzle & Rainbow Carrots with Arugula Salad; and two Potato Fritters with Buttermilk Dressing (which I resisted to respect my lent).
A highly recommended dining experience!

And you must take the elevator to the restrooms (a.k.a. washrooms). If you are a female reader who ended up visiting Boulevard, please take a picture of the female restroom and email to me. I will send you a copy of Boulevard the Cookbook in return (seriously).
