The name Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar really understates what a fine dining restaurant this is. Both the interior and service are what you would expect from a high end restaurant, not an oyster bar. It is true, however, that the upper level and bar are bright and loud like a kitchen, but the lower level is nice (and would be even nicer with a glass partition between it and the upper level.
There is an interesting cocktail list, and a well-chosen selection of wines. We started with the house-made sourdough and a seafood tower. It was the best seafood tower I’ve had because of the thoughtful side dishes. I particularly loved the mussels escabeche.
For mains we had sable fish, cod, seafood linguini, and a special mushroom pasta. All were good, especially the linguini.
The dessert sampler for four was interesting. There was a great variety and it was nice to try most everything on the menu, but I didn’t feel there were any real standouts.
Service was friendly and professional.
