“Delicious! I dined alone and thoroughly enjoyed my dinner with a couple glasses of prosecco! Spaghetti and meatballs- classic It’s how I judge an Italian restaurant; if I don’t like their sauce I won’t be back. No worries! Perfect pasta and sauce! Tender delicious meatballs! Tiramisu (that I didn’t have room for) rounded out my meal. I recommend Carciofi and when I’m in Colorado again, I’d like to dine here again! Chi mangia bene!“

“This restaurant is perfectly named. My brunch was delicious! The staff was wonderful and extremely accommodating, and friendly. I strongly recommend trying the lavender vanilla latte. We will definitely be back!“

“The restaurant is nestled in a charming, vintage neighborhood in Longmont. They even off valet parking. The owner of the restaurant himself, took the time to make sure we were comfortable while we were waiting for our table.. He even took us there when it was ready.!He suggested the tiki seating area in the outdoor patio. It seats six, so we were joined by two other couples. The conversation was lively and interesting. My fiancée ordered the tuna fish sandwich and I had the beet salad, both were tasty! The sun had gone down by now and the subdued lighting added a new level of ambience.. We capped off the night with the citrus cake and coffee. The service was friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be going back there again!“

“The hotel is clean, has great amenities, great breakfast, an outstanding pool, beautiful outdoor courtyard, and is conveniently located and surrounded by great restaurants, and the staff were all exceptional! Tammie at the front desk was always so helpful and nice and the gentleman, who had actually just started working at the café, was so nice and had outstanding customer service. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms, especially the one with the balcony, were so warm and inviting! We highly recommend this hotel, and would definitely return.“

“Just had dinner with family & everything was incredible. The decor is interesting, there’s tons to look at. Even the mismatched and kitschy dinnerware. We enjoyed the jalapeño poppers, fried pickles and okra. The cauliflower tacos, brisket sandwich, steak mac and cheese and beyond burger were all made perfect and came out hot and quick. They even split my nieces’ mac in separate bowls without us asking. Our server, AJ, was friendly and timely! Thanks for the good time Waterloo 🫶!“

“Just had the Valentine’s Day Dinner with my husband here! It’s our first V-Day as a married couple and there was no way I would have rather spent it! For this dinner they not only had great food, but there was a poet at the front writing poems for the couples. Our poem brought a tear to my eye! Some things I have to say about the restaurant.. First of all, the owners put so much thought and care into the food. It’s very apparent that they care about what they put in front of you, and they are able to cater to dietary restrictions even with the pre-fixed meals which is sooo impressive. I’ve been vegetarian and gluten free in the past and I can attest to how daunting going out to eat can be if you have restrictions. This place will take care of you!!! Secondly, the staff is super nice and the cocktails are so delicious. I could go on and on about how awesome this place is but the last thing I’ll mention is the ambience, architecture, and furniture are so unique. This place is great if you want to just grab a couple drinks at the bar but is also great for special occasions with multiple courses. So glad to have a place like this only a couple blocks from my home!!“

“Long review in coming

We recently stopped into Elevated Q for lunch without knowing much about it, and I must say, it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Discovering that it is a locally owned BBQ smokehouse made the experience even better.

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the new General Manager, Chris, whose friendliness and hospitality immediately stood out. His welcoming demeanor set the tone for the entire visit. The restaurant itself features a well-executed industrial rustic design, creating a comfortable yet stylish atmosphere. The bar seating is especially inviting, with a great view of the TVs, making it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the game.

Chris also proved to be highly knowledgeable behind the bar. He crafted a whiskey drink that was exceptional—so much so that, had it not been lunchtime, we likely would have stayed much longer to try more of his recommendations.

For food, we were introduced to a “secret menu” item: garlic butter buffalo wings. These were outstanding and, in my opinion, deserving of a permanent spot on the menu. The loaded BBQ fries were another highlight—rich, flavorful, and truly satisfying.

I ordered the Pitmaster Platter, featuring pulled pork and jalapeño cheddar sausage. Both meats were well-prepared and enjoyable, though the pulled pork could benefit from a bit more seasoning. The spicy BBQ sauce, however, added a great kick and complemented the dish nicely. My wife chose the loaded baked potato, which was generously portioned and topped with brisket that was incredibly tender—practically melting with each bite.

Overall, Elevated Q clearly knows what it’s doing when it comes to both food and hospitality. As a lighthearted note, Chris did make one “mistake”—he didn’t have the Masters on the big screen—but we’ll let that slide.

We look forward to returning soon. And while we didn’t manage to take photos this time (the food was too good to wait), that just gives us another reason to come back.“

“Great margaritas and enchiladas. My kids enjoy the variety and never leave hungry. We'll be back!“
