They're adfvertised as homemade with truffle oil. They were essentially just jumbo-sized tator tots with a funny aftertaste. Also, you only got like 8 of them. I ordered the Turkey Bacon Club sandwich. The bacon was almost non-existent. It wasn't great and it wasn't bad. It was mostly just an average sandwich. The sandwich struck as something I could easily throw together at home and I have a real aversion to paying money in a restaurant for food I can throw together in my own kitchen without much effort. At least at home I would have put a decent amount of bacon on it. Service was okay. Not especially friendly or attentive, but acceptable. There was a hotel employee mopping the lobby when we walked in and he gave us a very evil look for walking over his newly mopped floor to get to the restaurant. Apparently someone needs to school that guy that customers are why he has a job and not an interuption to his job. However, he was a hotel employee, so I can't hold that against Boulder Grill. Restaurant felt very empty for peak lunch hour on a weekday. It's a hotel restaurant (Holiday Inn) so the prices are all elevated like they are at most hotel restaurants. There's no real justification for the elevated prices other than the hotel guests make for a captive audience who will pay those prices for the convenience of eating in their hotel's lobby. For local workers grabbing a bite for lunch it's just not worth it. Additionally, it's certainly not worth driving in from the suburbs at night or on the weekend either. Unfortunately, I work near 1st street, so 7th street is just further than I really want to walk for lunch but at the same time not really far enough away to justify driving. So, based on their average food, average service, but above average prices that just makes it not worth the effort.

Ate here last Saturday night and we both had a Salmon dish, one grilled the other potato encrusted. Both were good and well flavored. Excellent salads as well. read more Ate here last Saturday night and we both had a Salmon dish, one grilled the other potato encrusted. Both were good and well flavored. Excellent salads as well.
