16 Best Seafood Restaurants near Boulder

“My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Basta, and it was a truly wonderful experience. It's not often you find a restaurant that can impress a diverse group including my wife, my mother, and my mother-in-law, but Basta did so with ease.

We started our meal with a selection of appetizers that set a high bar for the rest of the evening. The burrata was incredibly fresh and creamy, a perfect complement to the rich, smoky flavor of the olives. But the real star was the focaccia bread—warm, airy, and with just the right amount of salt, it was impossible to stop at just one piece.

For our main courses, we chose two pizzas and a vegetable dish. The zucchini was a fantastic addition, with the fresh, crisp vegetable elevated by the vibrant basil romanesco and the satisfying crunch of the breadcrumbs. The clam pizza was a delightful surprise, with the briny clams and a hint of lemon perfectly balanced against the smoky, blistered crust from the wood-fired oven. The Daisy pizza was a testament to the restaurant's philosophy of using high-quality ingredients; simple yet perfect, with a wonderfully flavorful tomato sauce and creamy mozzarella.

To finish our meal, we decided to indulge in all of their desserts, and we were not disappointed. Each one was a perfect ending to our dinner. The Campfire vanilla ice cream had a unique, smoky sweetness that was balanced by the vibrant and refreshing orange and beet sorbet. The sweet corn ice cream was an unexpected and delicious highlight, while the rich chocolate budino with pistachio butter was pure decadence. And of course, the donuts were a warm, fluffy, and perfect final touch.

Basta’s combination of a warm, inviting atmosphere and truly incredible food made for a special and memorable night. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall great experience. We left feeling completely satisfied and already talking about when we could return. I highly recommend Basta for any occasion, whether it's a date night or a special family gathering.

Special thank you to Suzanne and Chef Alex for creating such a special evening.“

“I literally do not like Fish at all!!!
My wife insisted we stop at the truck parked near Jax on 05/01/2025.
As somebody that doesn’t eat fish in any capacity, I kindly asked her to try a piece of her cod, as I was chomping at the bit to remind her she was eating a glorified fish stick…
I then proceeded to order a Baja chicken sandwich and a blackened chicken salad from Modern Market Eatery in Broomfield.
Needless to say I was refunded as both items of my meal had random human hairs in them,
I then was hoping to snag some cod and by the time I got back to Jax, they were long gone.
I wish there were better/safer oils used to fry said cod…. As it’s the age of information and we understand the impacts of other oils… however…
This was some DAMN GOOD FISH!!!
If there’s a review you consider, this is the one.
I’ve not eaten fish since I was 5 years old and force fed it as a child because my mom was broke and fish sticks were cheap.
The fish is so flavorful, and what sold me is the big second bite I took avoiding the sauce and opting for straight breaded fried cod,
Bomb dot com.
I will absolutely eat this grub again, and you should too!!! Atleast once. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Absolutely divine. Our server Caroline was wonderful, and noticed even the smallest details like my husband being left handed when setting the cutlery and offered us an N/A toast when we didn’t order drinks for celebrating. Don’t miss the tres leches and of course the sweet potatoes as everyone comments on!“

“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. Their dinner happy hour menu has great prices and really good options. The prime rib was delectable and the fish & chips were fried to perfection. Mud pie for dessert was incredible as well! Thank you for making our night special! Can’t wait to go back. ❤️“

“Outstanding experience! Food was exceptionally fresh and flavorful. Enjoyed the atmosphere and sushi chef. Strongly recommend!“

“Love spruce for any occasion. Have always enjoyed every experience there.“

“We went Friday evening and it was a long wait which we expected. I have to say that they work very well together as a team. As soon as a table left they got it ready right away for the next customers. The managers pitched in with their team. And the food was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Add me to group pretty please“

“Friendly feel and huge portions of authentic, organic tasting food! The omelette was delicious with plenty of potatoes and your choice of a full pancake or toast! Even got a blueberry pancake at no extra charge! The parking lot is always full and it’s hard to find the first time! It’s back in the South west corner of the strip area. Well worth discovering this gem!“

“I went to check this place out and got their Fire-starter Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. The burger was cooked perfectly! Just the small amount of pink I was looking for. 😋 It had just the right amount of jalapeños and guacamole. Did I mention the burger is fairly decent sized for the price?!?! I have never had Sweet Potato fries this good either, most of the places I have gotten them from they are burnt and hard. The restaurant is casual dining and VERY CLEAN! The staff are friendly and amazing as well as VERY VERSED in Service Dog laws. I felt very safe and welcomed here with the calm atmosphere. I would DEFINITELY go back!!!“

“Great service, delicious food, and lovely atmosphere!“

“What a find! The Jasmine Bar in downtown Louisville is the kind of place you stumble upon once — and immediately start planning your return.

Tucked into a charming courtyard, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and totally relaxing. It’s the perfect spot for a date night, catch-up with friends, or just treating yourself to a great drink in the sunshine.

The cocktail menu is seriously impressive — with both inventive house creations and elevated takes on the classics. Every drink we tried was thoughtful, balanced, and beautifully made. Bonus points for the live music and the option to rent out the courtyard for private events!

If you’re exploring Louisville or just want to discover a new favorite patio bar, The Jasmine Bar should absolutely be on your list.“
