“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??“

“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!“

“This restaurant is amazing! Best ramen I've ever had - we drive from Westminster for this ramen! The noodles, soy sauce, broths and everything is made in house, and you can taste the difference. The sushi is great, the fish is super fresh. Highly recommend this“

“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!“

“First time there and now I know why people rave about it! The service is fantastic, first of all. The food selection is limited and basic Mexican fare, however, the quality, preparation, and taste are incredible! I had the steak fajitas and I don't think I've ever had a better fajita steak...so tender and flavorful. The rice, black beans, and fajita fixings are ok, pretty basic. The tortilla soup was amazing! And the churros with the dulce whip...divine! Pricing is fair!“

“Food is delicious ❤️ House margarita is amazing!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Отличное уютное место со свежими устрицами с обоих побережий“

“Great service and good food!“

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

“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“

“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.🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“They made my dream sandwich. It was a toasted turkey croissant. Best I've ever had. The way it tasted being toasted was incredible. I had come from out of town, partly to find one. Usually, restaurants are out of that bread by the time I get there.The cashier was accommodating and sweet. I've been planning a special day to go back, then hike, then go back for another meal. Very charming! Thank you! Please don't change.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is even better than it used to be. After being gone for years we were so happy they are still serving incredible and affordable food. The owners are always welcoming and put a little extra love into our food when we dine in. So good“

“Just checked out the new Lafayette location. Food was great. Will definitely be back.“

“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!“

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

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

“Not your typical Mexican but way better! Highly recommend because of the food and great service!“

“The food was outstanding!! My husband and I have been to Barcelona, Spain and this chef did a fantastic job capturing the flavors of Spain. Very well thought out menu and the food did not disappoint. Tanner was our server and he was very pleasant and attentive. We enjoyed his hospitality. We plan to come back with a large group to try their paella.“

“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!!! ♥️“

“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!“

“This restaurant was clean, the service was great and the food was amazing. Lots of unique choices with fresh ingredients. You must go, enjoy the coffee, great food and friendly staff.“

“Avery Brewing Company is a great brewery stop with a big, comfortable space and plenty of beer to choose from. The tap list has a nice mix of styles, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s an easy place to spend a couple of hours with friends. The food is solid too, so it works just as well for a full meal as it does for a quick beer stop.“

“Awesome food, great service, relaxed atmosphere“

“Excellent prices. Some reviews mentioned that it isn't high-end, which is true I guess but I have genuinely eaten $50 sushi that isn't as good as what they give you at Bento-ria for $10. I got unagi and tamagoyaki nigiri with my poke bowl and let me tell you. Good sushi is known by the freshness of the ingredients and the quality of the sushi rice: the food here is fresh and the very first thing I noticed was how good the rice is. The place may be humble but there are masters in the kitchen“
