The food was perfect, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The standout aspect of the meal was the service, which was both friendly and impressively professional.

They also did an excellent job of ensuring guest safety, as everything was impeccably clean. Despite the circumstances, the staff maintained a cheer... View all feedback.

What Françoise Chevalier dislikes about The Kitchen:

Would have expected a place with this reputation to have better service. It was absolutely horrible. We got our appetizer about 10 min before our drinks, entrees took about an hour and were not good, the waitress maybe checked on us once. Not worth the price. I will not be returning.

Interesting dishes, sources, nice presentation, overpriced wine; I feel that our pricey rack of lamb pieces) was undercooked and charbroiled to coal black why? Maybe I am not up-to-date with pricing (I am out only for special occasion) see the menu for yourself

The Savory Cruller was as good as the Porterhouse! Wow.

Sunday outing to Boulder. The food was excellent, paired with outstanding service. They welcomed us and our pup, even bringing out some bacon for him. I ordered the lobster...

A truly amazing dinner during my recent trip to Colorado. My girlfriend and I chose this out of a bunch of really great looking options in the Boulder area and I’m sure glad we did. Cocktails were excellent and unique, grilled oysters and burrata as appetizers divine, and the two courses we split were equally out of this world. Crab fried rice was an amped up take on the classic take out option and black spaghetti with shrimp was a terrific medley of flavors. Finished off with house made sweet corn ice cream with some wild toppings… sheesh. Claimed at the time this was a top 5 dining experience ever. Must visit!

We went to The Kitchen for brunch and were very impressed with the food overall. Every dish we ordered was flavorful and full of delightful surprises. The crab cake Benedict was outstanding—made with crab meat and avocado, it’s by far the best crab cake I’ve ever had. The fried cauliflower had a subtle Indian fusion twist with a tangy tamarind-like flavor, which I absolutely loved! The baked French toast concept, resembling bread pudding, was clever, but I found it a bit too dry for my liking and could have been moister. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, and the servers were incredibly friendly. However, we had a disappointing experience with the hostess. Despite having a reservation and requesting a dining table, we were told to wait 5-10 minutes even though there were about 10 empty tables available. Not wanting to wait, we were seated at a high table, which within five minutes began to wobble due to a loose screw on one of the legs. That said, I still give the restaurant five stars, as the exceptional food and excellent service should not be overshadowed by this one incident.

This is the best food in Colorado. The outdoor seating innovation works. I prefer to sit outside on most nights.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding night here after being together for almost 10 years and honestly, this staff made it the most special dining out experience we’ve ever had! Complimentary champagne, wine tasters, appetizers; they went above and beyond. And the food and wine is exceptional! 5 star location. 5 stars overall. A big thank you to the staff at The Kitchen!

The BEST birthday dinner ever! We had the carpaccio for an app, and the steak and halibut for entrees. It was all perfect, but the halibut was amazing! The sunchoke puree with the citrus sauce... Everything on the plate worked so well together. I was treated to an olive oil and citrus cake with pistachio whipped cream (which I could've eaten a bucket of) and our wonderful server Shanti suggested the perfect wine to go with everything. All the staff were so hospitable and made us feel welcome. Thank you so much for a spectacular dinner!

OMG. Food was AMAZING, but service was even better. Best trained wait staff I've experienced since a 5-star spot in Chicago.

Food was amazed!! We had the carrots, salmon and gnocchi. The waiter forgot to place our order and didn't return to our ta le. An hour later after serving everyone that came after us he figured it out and blamed it on a deep fryer. ??????????? Could havebeen a 5?? Drinks were amazing too!

I had an absolutely amazing dinner during my recent trip to Colorado. My girlfriend and I selected this restaurant from a variety of enticing options in the Boulder area, and I'm so glad we did. The cocktails were exceptional and had a unique twist, while the grilled oysters and burrata appetizers were simply divine. The two main courses we shared were equally impressive. The crab fried rice offered a deliciously upgraded version of the classic takeout dish, and the black spaghetti with shrimp was a wonderful medley of flavors. We capped off the meal with house-made sweet corn ice cream adorned with delightful toppings—wow! At the time, I declared this to be one of my top five dining experiences ever. This place is a must-visit!

This is a wonderful restaurant in the Boulder area. They offer a great selection of spirits, wines, and beers. We enjoyed some excellent bourbons and IPAs. The service is exceptional—be sure to ask for Ariana when you visit. She was very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and even informed us that our food would be slightly delayed, emphasizing their commitment to quality. The manager, Peter, also stopped by to check on our experience. The food was absolutely amazing, with something for everyone. As a fan of Boulder, I can say this restaurant is yet another shining star in the city’s culinary scene.

This restaurant is stunning! We ordered the steak, salmon, and grilled oysters, all of which were incredibly delicious. While it’s not the cheapest place, we definitely got our money's worth. We had to wait about 25 minutes to be seated at the bar since reservations are essential; a table for two would have required a 2-hour wait. I highly recommend it!
