EVENINGS AT BOULETTES

boulettes larder salon privée

In the evening, Boulettes Larder is a private restaurant where the cuisine and ambiance reflect the chef's aesthetic and long established relationships with local farmers, herders and fishermen. Dining at Boulettes Larder is a singular experience. At this time, we are not able to do offsite catering.

An intimate and elegant table(s) for as many as 24 guests is set with crystal stemware, silver table service, handmade Belgian linens, floral arrangements from Bomarzo, and candlelight. There is a natural grace to both the service and cooking with our guests seated right in our elegant kitchen.

The menus are best if left to the insightful and expert design of the chef, Amaryll Schwertner. Each evening is individually shaped, and each has a unique menu representing the ingredients the farmers make available to us that day. Other considerations shaping the evening's menus are the wines our guests bring, dietary concerns, the tone of the group - business, celebratory, salon, and so on - and importantly, our seasonal hunger and a well-referenced response to the spectacular raw ingredients by which the cuisine of Boulettes Larder (day and night) is inspired by.

evening menus include:

Passed hors d'oeuvres as guests arrive, usually for 45 minutes
Amuse Bouche (surprise from the kitchen to excite the palate)
Appetizer, plated first course
Entree
Dessert
Mignardise - handmade chocolates and confections made by the pastry chef.

"What a fabulous evening we enjoyed last night at the Proventy Board Dinner! One of our guests said it was the best meal they had ever had in San Francisco! Patrick and Chris were gracious hosts and everyone was thrilled. Thank you for your attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with you."

"We had the most wonderful evening with you last Wednesday. Andy was thrilled with his birthday celebration; everyone loved the Larder and rhapsodized about the starters, dinner and dessert. Everything was devine, (beyond my hopeful high expectations) even down to the darling pooch hiding under the table. You were so very kind to my youngest grandson; showing him how a professional kitchen operates. We may make a chef out of him yet... Of course, you will see us back at the Larder as we do love it so!"
