Chicken Wings • $$
Mexican • $$$
“Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. We were very eager to come try this boulder location, it did not disappoint. The sweet potato is reasonably to come all on its own. We also had the agua chile, the coconut ceviche which is what dreams are made from, the pork and ribeye tacos.
My only critique is that tequila list is not made to be read in a dilly lit restaurant 😆”
Fine Dining • $$$$
“We went here last night and while we have been to Frasca many times before, this time was the best. Everything from the service to the wine pairings to the food was fantastic. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. I cannot recommend this place enough.”

“I love trying new restaurants. Nothing beats the experience of trying a new dish and finding an atmosphere to match.
This place was perfect. The clam pizza was a dream.”
Tiki Bar • $$
“The fact that they have live jazz bands, then play actual jazz vinyl in between sets, is just amazing! But they're food? Well, let's just say that their Crabby Pattie is better than Bikini Bottom's 😋 And, their cozy environment makes it just right”
American • $$$$
“We only had time for drinks and a snack. The staff were more than helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back! The flavors of natural herbs coming through the desserts were superb!e”

Japanese • $$
“Our first time dining at this place though we have wanted to go for a while after someone posted about it after they opened. Finally made it and glad we made reservations as it was packed since it was peak time Friday evening. Spoke with Koji-san, the owner, while we were waiting for our table and he also stopped by each table to check on them which we thought was great. We had the takoyaki, kaisen-mix okonomiyaki and the spicy miso ramen. All came within a reasonable amount of time and were delicious! Koji-san explained the background of offering takoyaki, which was so interesting and great for him to share. We will definitely be back to try the other menu items, esp their sushi, which looked delicious! Great to see a business busy and doing well!”

We had Mango Lassi, Vegetable Samosas, and Chicken Tikka Masala Calzones. There are vegan and vegetarian options. Staff is very friendly. Baklava is also really great.”

“Nice venue hidden from Walnut street in Boulder, CO. Good ambience helped by live music. Our minestrone soup, lamb chops, octopus and creme brulee were very nice, but the pasta dish was bland.
Definitely worth the try, but would recommend skipping the pasta.
Service was attentive.”
Japanese • $$
“This is such an excellent restaurant, and a very special family-owned business that warms my heart every time I go in. There's no other restaurant in the Boulder-Denver area that compares for its quality of ingredients, perfect execution of the hot and cold traditional dishes, great sake selection, and friendly ambiance. They do the best salt-grilled mackerel I've ever had, the best agedashi mochi, the best nigiri sushi--and the miso-simmered dishes are amazing and hard to find elsewhere. The prices are fair and the food beats more expensive places in Denver. Yes, sometimes a dish will be sold out--but that's because they do everything fresh! I always feel taken care of there, and I always leave happy and well-fed, and thinking about my next visit.”

I liked that the rolls were fairly straightforward. No super complicated names rolls with too many sauces and flavors.
Prices were also very reasonable. Much better than some of the places downtown. The vibe is much more mellow than other places but quite nice on the patio.”

Breakfast • $
“Went in for lunch a couple days ago with a friend for a couple of burgers. There was one server, one cook, maybe a dishwasher. It was not busy but wanted to give a thumbs up to our waitress cheyenne. She was so polite thoughtfull kind. I felt bad that she was on her own as hostess server busses and we left her a 50% tip now I wish I would have left 100%. Next time I'm in there im sure I will. If the manager reads this, give her a raise, she deserves it!!”

“The people working here are honestly awesome on Friday night (Feb 7th) after I worked and wanted to grab stuff on the way home from work and went through the drive thru, their screen ended up freezing up and I sat there for a minute or so not knowing what to do lol but I thought it was on me and felt so dumb and just pulled up- and was met w only kindness, apologies, they gave my food for free🥲🥹I can’t b eating mcdonalds every day but when I do have it I’m coming here bc I’ve never had a bad experience. Blessings for the individuals working here- they work so hard and are constantly serving people and I’ve never felt anything but positivity from them/ and in this world that’s everything.”

Ice Cream Shop • $
“I'm visiting Denver from Chicago and after dinner with friends we decide on a whim to get ice cream. The closest shop? Sweet Cow - Highlands! Do we know anything about it no? Nope. Does it have gluten free, dairy free? Yep. Cool, let's go. So off we go... First of all, we arrive at an adorable clean little shop where literally everyone is happy and having a good time. The tunes are jamming. The line is moving. It's a great space. We get to the counter. The staff greeted us enthusiastically, asking what can they get us. I have no clue. literally everything sounds delicious. I'm in choice overload panic. Zoe (give her a raise) asks if I'd like to try something. You know I would love to! What's my limit? I'm thinking 2... if I'm lucky 4... Zoe says (and I kid you not), "Wanna try all 24?" Wait, what?! I can do that?! Should I do that?! Another nice staff member with beautiful red hair whose name I didn't catch (so sorry) says "You can, and of course, you should." I mean, twist my arm. I'm in! I'm escorted out of the line to the little counter bar where Zoe provides a cup of 24 little wooden spoons in a cup and a cup for when those 24 little spoons get used. She then cheerily and patiently leads me through a delightful taste test of 24 of the most delicious ice cream flavors I have ever tasted in my life. I dislike berries, but even all the berry flavors were good. I'm not vegan, but the vegan flavors tasted like non-vegan ice cream. They even had a Gatorade sorbet that was out of this world refreshing. Zoe didn't rush me even once. She seemed to be having as much fun as me. Trying to narrow down the selection afterwards was excruciating, but it was so worth it. Everything was excellent. The customer service, the product, the experience... I would without doubt, one hundred percent recommend this shop to everyone who comes to Denver. It is a must visit right up there with the mountains. Truly. Unequivocally. 5 GOLD STARS, 2 THUMBS UP. LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR LIFE.”

Diner • $
“One of my favorite long-standing Boulder traditions...the weekend ALWAYS begins with a Father/Daughter breakfast at the Village. The staff is INCREDIBLE...true legacy Boulder.”
Mexican • $
“This family owned and operated restaurant is a must visit. The food is so tasty and flavorful. Using organic corn, they hand make their own masa. It really pays of in the flavor or their tacos, gorditas, and quesadillas. The veggies are locally sourced. The meat is roasted and cooked to perfection. The prices are also very affordable! At the time of this review, they did not have their liquor license, but we were allowed to bring in our own beer, which we brought in from a local brewery. The goal is to have margaritas and more once they get their license. I highly recommend this place, for lunch or dinner, for a date or for the family. I will be sure to return. *No photos of food because we ate it too fast, but it was super yummy! We tried the chips and guacamole, the burrito with barbacoa, and and combination plate. Even the rice and beans sides were delicious!”

Asian • $
“There are places that placed the priority on the atmosphere to the detriment of the food being served. May Wah has consistently delivered great food, lots of choice, in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember. Don't get me wrong: the atmosphere is most agreeable...(they have a round table with lazy Susan for instance) but the star of this show are the menu choices. I recommend you give them a try!”

“I've never left a review on a place before, but man, these guys know what they're doing. Generous, authentic portions paired with a Boulder-reasonable price and very friendly staff. The food is delicious, comforting, and spicy; I absolutely recommend if you're on Pearl. Also, get the mango lassi. Seriously. I wouldn't drink anything else with this meal.”

The service was great, food was prepared quickly and staff was very friendly.”

Cafe • $
“This is a great place to grab coffee or a quick sandwich! Whether you’re studying or simply just relaxing, this place has an amazing atmosphere around it. The prices are an arguably steep for what you receive, but the food and coffee was amazing!”

Also, the atmosphere inside is great they have plenty of outlets, the music is pretty calm, and the plants inside look like they are all thriving.
Can't wait to come back!!”

“Recently a medical recommendation was given to add electrolytes to my daily routine. I am grateful for finding Skratch Labs because they list every ingredient on the package. I have a severe melon allergy and it's risky to consume products with 'natural flavors' listed instead of individual ingredients. The Apple Cider is delicious and perfect for fall.”
Deli • $
“Had a great meal here for lunch a few weeks ago so decided to use their catering for our baby shower. The food was so delicious and their customer service has been nothing short of wonderful in our experience. It is by far the best middle eastern food we have had in all of Colorado since moving here over 1.5 years ago.”

New American • $$$
“The Italian pasta menu was out of this world and hope it returns. The lasagne with wagyu beef was incredible - a perfect balance of delicious beef, fresh pasta and cheese. My personal fave was the squid ink spaghetti frutti di mare - the fresh tomato sauce combined beautifully with the seafood, and the saffron breadcrumbs made it all truly unique and unforgettable. The tiramisu was delicate, and the ricotta cheesecake with orange marmalade felt fresh and citrusy.”
Italian • $$
“Service and ambiance was great. Calamari app was perfect. Eggplant entree was very good. Veal parm was average at best. Sauce and cheese were very good but veal was tough and not pounded enough. The veal was obviously frozen so if you are charging $35.00 for this dish it needs some reworking.”
Sushi • $$
“Best sushi I’ve ever had. We were traveling from out of state & the only thing I have to complain about is there aren’t any locations outside of Denver, ruined all other sushi for me. Can’t wait to come back.”
American • $$$
“Visited Boulder Cork for our anniversary and had the most wonderful experience! All of the staff were so friendly and kind, our food was delicious, and drinks were tasty.

The wait staff were wonderful. They remembered us from previous visits. They were friendly without being intrusive. We’ve been to a number of nice restaurants in Boulder, including some that are considerably more expensive, but Brasserie Ten Ten is our favorite thus far.”

“Food was alright, I’ve had better suishi in boulder tbh. Just go next door if you want suishi. I think this is more of a place you go if you want more of a spread of Japanese food.
Service however was incredible!!! Jessica is a GOAT! Great suggestions very happy with the service!”
Tapas Bar • $$

Brewery • $$
“Gluten free fried chicken is all a man needs today - and I tell you what, The Post is where to get it. Incredible GF options and quality. I got the fried half chicken and it was hot, crispy, flavorful, and the chicken was great quality. Thank you for providing all us GF folk with a slice of heaven. The only aspect that The Post lacked, ironically, was they don't have a good GF beer selection. With a vibrant GF menu, I thought they'd have more beers but only had the Holidaily Blonde (which is a great beer) but a tiny bit disappointing that that's all they had. Also, we tried the GF upside-down cake which I appreciate they have! But it was a little crumbly and thought it was more of a warm baked cake. Alas, these are minor side notes of a powerful fried chicken restaurant! Thank you! (also thank you for still letting people make simple reservations on your website!)”

There is a ton of room and the bartender is one of the friendliest guys I’ve ever been served by!I got a glass of wine and a charcuterie board while waiting for my husband and the charcuterie came of fast and was delicious.”

“We recently expanded our home and entrusted the electrical fit-outs to an exceptional team. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the project. Among the highlights were the installation of several skylights equipped with electric shades. These remote-controlled shades not only enhance our home's aesthetic but also offer convenience and energy efficiency. We are thoroughly impressed with the quality of the work and the seamless integration of modern technology into our living space. Highly recommended for anyone needing skilled and reliable electrical services!”

“Damn good pizza. Crust is definitely a bomb ending. It's the kind of pie you share with another and enjoy the creative toppings combinations. Under needs a little more crisp but whatever. Really good, go enjoy.”

“I went on a Tuesday night. Good crowd for midweek The Chicken Sandwich was probably one of the best I have ever had. Tender chicken, perfectly cooked. Lily waited on us. She was professional, polite and made for extremely enjoyable dining experience. Bartender made killer dirty martinis. I highly recommend. Fantastic staff”

“Not that I wasn't expecting anything other than greatness, but my expectations were definitely exceeded. This was a super cool restaurant and decor was perfect. Server was phenomenal. Can't recall her name specifically, but she did say that she was named after a type of wine so that should be fairly easy to identify. 😆 Had a burger, which was phenomenal and short ribs, which were OK but honestly, a little dry. Still, flavor was good. Also had the deviled eggs which were a stand out. Overall, a fantastic experience and would highly recommend to anyone. ”

“Went in for lunch a couple days ago with a friend for a couple of burgers. There was one server, one cook, maybe a dishwasher. It was not busy but wanted to give a thumbs up to our waitress cheyenne. She was so polite thoughtfull kind. I felt bad that she was on her own as hostess server busses and we left her a 50% tip now I wish I would have left 100%. Next time I'm in there im sure I will. If the manager reads this, give her a raise, she deserves it!!”

“I love this place! Every bite and swallow is delectable. She offers a relaxing outdoor patio, or a cute, cozy and cool indoor experience. Try everything, on multiple visits. Can't be beat for a delicious breakfast (yummy Arabic coffee!) or lunch. Lovely and talented chef/ proprietor.”

“There are places that placed the priority on the atmosphere to the detriment of the food being served. May Wah has consistently delivered great food, lots of choice, in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember. Don't get me wrong: the atmosphere is most agreeable...(they have a round table with lazy Susan for instance) but the star of this show are the menu choices. I recommend you give them a try!”
Sushi • $
“Ordered sushi (Denver, California and shrimp tempura rolls) and general chicken for the family. I ordered online and picked it up. Order was ready at the time requested. Employee was very friendly and made sure everything was correct and it was. I requested no wasabi and gluten free soy sauce. Food was hot and delicious! Yurihana is a favorite for my family. Been going there since 2012. Never had a bad experience.”

We had Mango Lassi, Vegetable Samosas, and Chicken Tikka Masala Calzones. There are vegan and vegetarian options. Staff is very friendly. Baklava is also really great.”
