“Did the tasting menu and it was fantastic. Some of the cocktails were a little “meh”, and so I’d be more likely to do wine there in the future. The caviar on corn cake—one of the three starters—was probably the best bite of food I’ve had this year.

The crudo (the second course) seemed a bit lacking to me, but others at the table really liked it. Otherwise, everything was perfect.“

“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“

“Last Sunday a few friends and I went to Boulder for the first time. We were told this bar was great and decided to come in. It was truly one of the best experiences we have had. Andy made the experience such a blast, he is exceptional with his craft. Thanks Andy for the good time and laughs! (I think we are good on Tequila for a while) Thanks again. Alex Zach Hodan Jessica“
