    “My husband and I had an after dinner party here for about 30 people after our wedding. Service was AMAZING. The food was provided by The Post. We had multiple guests say it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The cocktails were amazing, in fact I’m still thinking about that amazing espresso martini and I know our guests are too. I wish I could give this place 100 stars. We live out of state and correspondence planning the event was amazing too. I can’t wait to come back!”

    “Took us ten years of living in CO to find a great steakhouse that matched our favorite steakhouse in OK. I dare say, Steakhouse 316 is even better! It is amazing EVERY time we go. Be sure to get the table side Caesar. And why is black salted butter for the bread so much yummier than all other salt??”

    “The drinks were tasty and the vibe was very cool! Plenty of lively places to hang out as well as some quiet, out-of-the-way places to sit and talk, so truly the best of both worlds. Went to a Comic Cents show here last week and it was one of my favorite comedy events I’ve been to. Coming out of the show and immediately hearing live music from the next room was also pretty sick.”

    “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!”

    2280 Junction Place, Boulder

    “Decently maintained rooms but pricy, especially for a Hyatt Place. Rooms retail for $300-400/night which is quite expensive for a budget-branded Hyatt hotel. In addition, the hotel charges an additional $25/night for parking! The room is decently comfy with the classic Hyatt place layouts split between living and sleeping areas. The walk-in shower has one of the weakest water pressures I’ve seen. Breakfast was solid featuring chicken tenders, donut holes, and fresh cut fruit! As others have noted, staff are efficient but not very friendly.”
