“Awesome restaurant!! Food is great ☺“

“I had wanted to eat at Frasca for years, and it finally worked out. My husband and I chose the Quattro Piatti tasting menu with the half wine pairing and added the chef’s pasta course.

What impressed me most was that I was never bored or disappointed. Each course made me curious about what was coming next and how it would be presented. The chef’s pasta was outstanding, the black cod was beautifully prepared, and the presentations throughout the meal were artistic and thoughtful. Some dishes, particularly the lamb and dessert, were richer than my personal preference, but everything was interesting and carefully executed.

The wine pairing was exceptional and may have been my favorite part of the evening. I was also pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and welcoming the atmosphere felt. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I’m very glad we finally went.“

“Great option for those that are gluten free and/or dairy free.“

“Awesome place with really good tea. The chai was Indian approved ✅.

Shoutout to the bartender Piers. Super nice and chill guy who talked us through the tea options and also welcomed us to the area.

Give that man a raise!! :)“

“Awesome eats !! Grabbed a bite while hopping around thee very diverse center.“

“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!“

“Boxcar staff is consistently attentive, welcoming, and accommodating. The coffee is, without question, outstanding. My orders are always prepared quickly and accurately. I truly appreciate the excellent service, reliable experience, and inviting atmosphere provided at Boxcar on Pearl. Highly recommended!“

“Highly recommend !!!! Great place for food, drink and music!!“

“sam is amazing and has checked in on us multiple times and we are having great service!“

“The food is amazing and hits the spot after a morning of studying. I always feel so welcomed by the owner and staff. Such a cute breakfast spot!“

“My Sushi & Ramen Izakaya is the best restaurant in Boulder!! They have delicious sushi and their ramen is the most tasty and authentic! The owners are so kind and passionate about their business. They’re very knowledgeable about the food they serve and even have a wide range of gluten free options that are safe and DELICIOUS if you have celiac. Everybody please eat here 🥹“

“Great place for a group, rooftop is amazing but the lower level is nice too. Also good selection of vegetarian options (with some that aren't super spicy as well) and they also can accommodate celiac/gluten-free. Noise level depends on time of day and location, it is a relatively big restaurant with different sections.“

“Delicious Salvadoran food“

“​I stopped by Lotus Moon today for dinner, and honestly, it’s an underrated gem for plant-based Vietnamese food.
​I had the Vegan Phở. The broth was so clean, flavorful, and packed with fresh veggies. It just felt super comforting and nourishing. I also grabbed a Lemongrass Tofu Banh Mi to go which made for an excellent next meal.
​The service was incredibly friendly and warm, and the space itself has such a calm, clean vibe with really cool hanging lights. Definitely a spot that deserves way more hype. I’ll absolutely be coming back for more!“

“This ice cream is so good. highly recommend. Best ice cream I've ever had.“

“Such amazing food and very nice customer service! I went with a couple of friends and the Mater paneer was divine. Garlic Naan is definitely a must here as well. Very fast service as well.“

“I came across this place totally by accident as I was looking for a place that opens past 9p. I was so surprised to see an authentic Chinese menu and the pork intestine noodle is amongst the best I have ever had. Having lived in several cities with dense Chinese population, I was extremely pleasantly surprised by this gem in Boulder of all places. I will for sure be back to try other dishes.“

“Kind staff. Excellent food. Vegan options. Warm, friendly atmosphere.“

“Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. It’s definitely not like other expensive restaurants and you only get a small amount of food. I am definitely going back.🥰“

“Good variety and very friendly staff.“

“Got their lunch combo! A slice of my favorite, the Spicy Pig & a Caesar salad w/sparkling Pelegrino in a glass bottle. The slices are huge. The slice I got was a nice thin crust w/lots of spicy sausage & pepperoni. It had the right level of spice, cheese, & oil. The Caesar has a nice dressing. Convenient location. It’s easy to park. The staff is kind! The bathroom is clean. Open kitchen to see them put the pizzas in. I highly recommend them! There are vegetarian options & thicker crust in some styles available.“

“Fast service, if you like that. Tasty.“

“What a cool spot! The menu has a vast array of items and throughly explains the benefits of each one. The place is cozy with plenty of seating and overall has great vibes. The gentleman working was informative, attentive, and was able to answer any questions we had.

My partner and I had hot tea, a tonic, and did a 20 minute infused oxygen session.

Highly recommend!“

“Ruzo is a great little neighborhood coffee shop in North Boulder serving espresso drinks, yummy chai, and lots of decadent decaffeinated options, not to mention chocolate covered strawberries! Plus they showcase the artwork by local artists. Kamala, Berenice and Christian are always so warm, friendly and welcoming!“

“We love this place. Coffee is great, food is tasty and the staff is nice. I only wish portions were bigger especially for the price.

Both outside and inside are great to hang out at. It gets quite busy on weekends. Highly recommended.“

“My servicers, Matea and Isabella, are knowledgeable and personable. They know their products and when they don't know they ask their coworkers. I am new to lagers, philsners, etc. I am from wine country CA. These gals introduced me to some amazing tasting lagers! I love the three paycheck, aged barrel too. Great time every time. Thank you ladies.“

“My friend and I went here for Valentine's Day. We hadn't made plans because we weren't celebrating the holiday, so we had no reservations. The place was packed. The hosts were busy coordinating reservations that went as late as past 11 pm, as they were open until midnight. They were kind in their greeting and offered us space at the bar, if we could find it. We couldn't. As the wait time was over an hour and a half, we left to go somewhere else but decided to return a little later to check back at the bar. We found some seats that had just been cleared, so we saddled up for a chill time with chopsticks and great ambiance. We were greeted by the friendliest, most energetic bartender I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with while dining out, much less when a place is that busy. She had a smile for miles as she walked us through bar suggestions featuring her alcohol favorites. The reason we rallied to try again at Hapa was that my friend has a serious gluten issue with his severe celiac disease and has never had a problem with their dedicated menu. The gluten-free menu is extensive for such a specialized diet, automatically paired with their gluten-free soy sauce. Since we were sharing our samplings of sushi, sashime, salad, and sake, I went ahead and ordered from that menu as well. I didn't taste any difference in my experience. Our servings were well-timed with salad, main dishes, accompanying sake and wine... and, again, our awesome bartender sharing company with us, a truly gifted gal of service. If I tried to recommend this place more, I'd sound silly. That said, thank you for one of the best Valentine's Day, un-Valentines evenings I've ever had! We left happy with our choice for the night and full in our bellies!“

“Отличное уютное место со свежими устрицами с обоих побережий“

“Great food and very friendly service. On Pearl Street so a kaleidoscope of people walking by.“

“The Illegal Pete’s Hill location is always a fun spot, whether you’re grabbing food with friends or stopping by for a quick bite. The staff are super cool as well. The food is great too, and the burritos are a really good portion for the price—they’re filling and packed with flavor. Overall, it’s a great place to hang out, get good food, and enjoy a fun atmosphere and in my opinion is better then Chipotle.“

“Absolutely incredible flavors and excellent variety! I wanted more but was so full! I’m ready to come back and try other things… for dinner 🤣🤣! Had the chicken enchilada and forbidden rice with tofu! For desert… the gluten free lemon cake was Devine! HIGHLY recommend!!! ♥️“

“Great breakfast and great service!“

“Food was amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service was ok. Only 1 server doing register, take out, tables, and bar for inside and outside seating. Place gets busy fast which is understandable considering the amazing food. Definitely recommend hiring more wait staff, otherwise great atmosphere and fabulous food.“

“Busaba is an incredible restaurant. Veggie options were incredible, and so were the non-veg items like pad Thai and fried rice. Food taste and quality were top notch. Also, thanks to Merina and Anisha, they made our experience exceptional. 10/10 recommended, and I'd definitely visit again.“
