We visited on a Friday night, party of four, with reservations. The place was full, yet we could still carry on conversations. Service and food were perfect. We had short ribs, paella, and ahi tuna. Everyone loved their choices. Ended up the night with cheesecake, carrots cake, and creme brulee. Cocktail choices were also plentiful. Very nice, memorable experience.

Went on a whim for my birthday with my sister and my niece. We did not have a reservation, but we were accommodated nicely to outdoor dining, with a short wait time.
Hostess, Bartenders, and waitresses were very friendly.
The food was outstanding. Ribeye was grilled to perfection. The choices of desserts were irresistible.
Everything was very pleasing to the eyes, pallette, and stomach.
It was perfect.

Went here for my husband's 82nd birthday. The food and atmosphere were very good but the service was not. Our waitress disappeared on us a few times. Paid the bill with another server because we couldn't wait any longer for our waitress to return.

Our party of 6 enjoyed 3 delicious appetizers (crab and artichoke dip, duck wontons, and crusted ahi) and they were amazing!
3 of us had the Ribeye and each one was perfectly prepared. I was the only one that opted to keep the Gorgonzola but would have it on the side next time (it was a very strong taste).
2 of the guys had the pork shank—I tasted my husband’s and it was so tender and the flavor was amazing.
Lastly, my father in law had the prawns and said they were delicious!
The mashed potatoes were probably the best I’ve ever had, and the garlic butter served with the dinner rolls was a welcome addition to the meal.
Our server, Karen, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care of us.
We will definitely be back!

We have gone to the Boulders many times over the years and this was the first time I was somewhat disappointed. Our server was very nice but clearly was swamped as it took along time to get our drinks and bread. I ordered the fish and it had changed from grouper to tilapia. That is always what I had ordered in the past. The salads were great. I had the wedge and it was crisp and the tomatoes were delicious.
My partner ordered the paella and was far far too peppery. He was actually sweating down the back of his neck. The sweet potatoes were extremely salty and I did mention it to the waitress. No need for so much salt or pepper as there is salt and pepper on the table. Were corners being cut? This is the best place in the area for fine dining and I hope that you will take these notes into consideration.

The food here is spot on. Everything we ordered was delicious! Pork chop, prawns, ahi tuna and the baked French onion soup are all amazing. Service is great as well.

Ryan the bar tender is so good an fast. Not only made drinks but took orders for food if you were eating at the bar. And we did because we didn't have reservations. The place was packed.

You need a reservation for this place. We were a party of 2 with a 6:00 reservation on a Wednesday evening in the beginning of October. It is a lovely restaurant with a beautiful view. It was awfully loud. Our server was very courteous and pleasant to interact with. However, we believe she was stretched too thin. It was a long time between when we were seated and when she came to greet us and take our drink order. Our cocktails were very good. It was also a long time between when we placed our food order and when our food was served. My fish entree was fine (nothing special). My husband's boneless pork chop ("Hog Heaven") was over done and quite dry. We did report that to our server and, in the end, she took 50% off my husband's meal price.

Highly recommend it. I've never been burned here. It's under new owners, but it's still great, and the same great staff are there. Amanda is a cutie
