“Excellent atmosphere and food.“

“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.“

“Our favorite sushi in Boulder for quality. They had only two servers for lunch service with a full restaurant. We ordered miso soup. Only one came, despite confirming we each wanted one. 10 minutes later, the second soup arrived. The servers were very kind, but clearly a third server is needed desperately. It also gets very loud, which is challenging for conversation at the table.“

“Delivery arrived hot, freshly cooked, nicely flavored, packaging took into consideration how best to keep items at their peak. It enjoyed the delivery and decided to go in person. Friendly service, hot FRESHLY prepared protein in the noodle dishes. Atmosphere good, nothing special, nothing wrong. Clean“

“This restaurant has delicious food, especially the desserts, especially the mango sticky rice.“

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

“We had a calzone at Pizza Colore in Boulder, and it was SOOO delicious! 🤩🔥 If you're in the area, you need to try it! 🍕❤️“

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

“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!“

“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 🥹“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food is delicious ❤️ House margarita is amazing!“

“Context:
Dinner with an old friend from Boulder while visiting from out of town. One of his favorite spots.

1. Food - really good, but not quite five stars. With the variety of options available in Boulder, the bar is high. Flavors were good, food was fresh, but the medium spice wasn’t spiced and the lamb saag was excessively oily.
2. Service was warm and generous. Best part of the visit.
3. Give the options for dining in Boulder, I think Gurkhas could elevate their position by decluttering their space and raising the bar on simple elegance. Elevated need not be expensive or pretentious.
4. Price - matched well for the quality and service

Overall, a great meal. Would recommend.“

“I’ve been using Skratch for awhile. Switch between it and Tailwind but I prefer Skratch for my marathon training. The carb/ sodium ratio is exactly what I need for my fall race. The passion fruit guava is amazing. Wish it was not a limited edition flavor. All of the flavors are great as well. Definitely recommend Skratch“

“excellent food...different food choices and quality food“

“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.“

“Absolutely love the bison 🦬 pastie. The 🦃 Rueben & Cobb salad are other good choices. The ☕️ is tasty. I highly recommend Shamane’s Bakery.“

“The BEST tofu scramble I’ve had as a 10 year vegan international traveler. Hands down. Great options for vegans and really good wine and cocktails.“

“Fantastic everything food vibes atmosphere staff everything 10/10“

“Great service and good food!“

“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.🥰“

“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!!! ♥️“

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

“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.“

“Love the place and great vibes - Pale ale is the best“

“Found this place randomly.....looking for nonchain restaurant. Awesome service along with awesome food. The burgers are soooooo good. You will eat ALL of it for sure! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Colorado to make this a stop. You will not be disappointed.“

“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.“

“For experiencing a taste of authentic Mexican food, don't miss Mojo taqueria in Boulder or Lyons. The food is delicious, the service is wonderful and the ambience is so cozy! Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience with our family!“

“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 food was absolutely amazing, way better than panda express or any other Chinese restaurant. You also can not beat the price it was 11.60 for Beijing beef and a drink. Which is better then almost every fast food definitely coming here again.“

“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!“

“The best in Boulder! Always love their beers and their grace I. The negative reviews - screw yelp trolls! Stay great !“

“Отличное уютное место со свежими устрицами с обоих побережий“

“Fantastic five course German Style Beer dinner tonight in Boulder. So yummy and great pairing of beer to the food.“

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

“Amazing shop! Everyone is so friendly and the products are awesome. Izzy was fantastic and so helpful!! You must try the mead while you’re there! The only con is there isn’t a location near us.“

“We had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Aion. We shared tapas (small plates) as well as a couple entrees so everyone got to enjoy a variety of flavors. Everything was delicious; the scallops on squid ink rice was the table favorite. The staff is friendly and our main server (maybe the manager?) was clearly passionate about the offerings.“

“The Pork Belly Benny's were absolutely fire! I grew up in the south and not sure I've had a better side of grits! 11/10 will eat there again!“

“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.“

“I always ordered the fresh fruit crepes!! So amazing!!!“

“Awesome food, great service, relaxed atmosphere“

“One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had💚💜“

“We went today for the first time and LOVED the meatballs, caesar salad and the lamb pepperoni pizza with a pumpkin beer taster and glass of cab!!! I will be back and soon! Oh… the dessert was so yummy and unique flavors!“
