My girlfriend took me and my children here for Father's Day this past weekend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had reservations, but was surprised to find the dining room 1/2 to a 1/3rd empty the entire time there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite this, the "kitchen was backed up" and received our order roughly 40-45 minutes after we ordered. This was not an issue for me so much as I kind of expected that on Father's Day, but considering the dining room was not packed I assumed this was a staffing issue. I was more annoyed by the fact that after we received our drink order and placed our food order it was another 15-20 minutes until we saw our waiter again. She passed by several times, clearing tables etc and would not make eye contact so I could order more drinks. I was about to go to the bar when she finally showed up. She was very nice but also very absent. I think she may have been working the patio as well, but the other servers inside seemed to be much more attentive to their tables. The food was quite good. I enjoyed the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs quite a bit. I was a little disappointed by the spartan amount of sausage gravy and I asked for the poached eggs medium (firm white and runny yolks), but as in every restaurant, they served be extremely runny whites and yolks. The biggest turn off, however, was the 2% "Operational charge" on the bill. Boulder County now has a minimum wage for tipped employees at $16.82 as well as the expectation of a 20% tip, yet restaurants have the gall to charge these additional fees so that their customers, not the business support their employees. Raise the prices of your products by 2% to cover operational costs like any other business. It is very off-putting to ask your customers to pony up additional funds separately to support your business. When I see these add on charges I will not be supporting your business in the future. read more

A real hidden gem in Erie. 24 Carrot Bistro is a farm to table restaurant in Erie Colorado making fantastic dishes from local seasonal ingredients. I've been wanting to check this spot out after visiting the equally fantastic Birdhouse close by. We came for brunch on a Sunday, and while they are busy, seating is readily available. First, I have to say that the drinks are fantastic. I got the 24 Carrot Magic, a tequila based drink made with carrot juice. It is perfectly balance and dang smooth. A really perfect drink for brunch. I ordered the Grilled Shrimp and Grits and my wife got the special of the day, chicken and biscuit. The portion size is perfect for both dishes. For the Grilled Shrimp and Grits, the shrimp were perfectly cooked, plump, and juicy and the grits were buttery without being too rich and oily, which perfectly complimented the shrimp. The andouille sausage adds a perfect salty bite to the dish, and the fresh greens and crispy noodle rounds out the dish. As for the chicken and biscuit, the dish came out hot and juice. The biscuit is glazed with a jalapeño honey which compliments the dish perfectly. The biscuit has a nice crisp to it but still fluffy and buttery inside, and I think it's one of the better biscuit in the Denver metro area. The chicken is juicy and perfectly seasoned. Overall, 24 Carrot Bistro is a fantastic restaurant. The brunch menu has many attractive options, and I definitely will be back to try dinner. Additionally, as a farm to table restaurant, their menu changes seasonally and by their dishes on Instagram, this is definitely a restaurant I could see myself returning to check out new seasonal menu items. read more

We came here for brunch and had a great experience. The chicken and waffles were fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crispy and the waffle was soft and fluffy with candied pecans and warm sweet apples on top. The blue corn grits were also excellent with a really nice texture. We also ordered the farmer's Benedict, which was very flavorful. The only thing I'd change is that it comes with sweet potatoes on the side and a sweet potato hash brown under the eggs, so it ends up being a lot of sweet potato. It might be nice to have regular potatoes as an option to balance it out. The beignets were incredibly soft and paired perfectly with the lemon curd. Would definitely come back and would love to try the dinner menu next time!! read more

Wow! This was a great find as I was killing some time in the area. My server, Laurel, was awesome so friendly so inviting made me feel welcome instantly. Since it was my first time, she explained the farm table process. She gets extra credit for making sure my coffee was always topped off lol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great little atmosphere inside there's outdoor seating but it was a little too warm that day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had the Benedict that was served on a sweet potato hash and it was a 10 out of 10. Can't wait to go back. read more

This will be the 2nd low rating I have posted in 10 years. I love to give great reviews and typically don't review at all if a product or service disappoints. We loved this restaurant in prior years. Sadly, on 2 separate lunches recently the food was so poor I doubt I'll return. This lovely restaurant used to be amazing. Menus were inspired and well prepared. 2026? What happened? 2 visits in a row yielded subpar overpriced experiences. (Lunch for 2 without any beverage was $65 including gratuity (waitress was nice). My friend didn't complain since she was my guest but we both left lunch a bit hungry and agreed the restaurant has gone way downhill. The duck was very heavily brined, didn't have any duck flavor, strange texture and extremely small size. The tiny serving came with a side of seasoned hominy. Meh... So sad to say goodbye to this former treasure of a restaurant. read more

Absolutely loved my experience at 24 Carat Erie! Our waitress was so friendly and made the whole dining experience even better. The food was incredible -- truly farm-to-table freshness in every bite. I didn't even get any pictures because I was too busy devouring everything! The menu changes with the seasons, which makes it even more exciting to come back and try something new. A total gem in Erie! read more

Loved the lemon pasta dish! But was very surprised at how small the portion was - especially for the price. My meal was delicious but it left me wanting more of it! Service was great and friendly. read more

Disappointed. I was a 10 year, faithful customer. It's over priced and the service is poor. The food is mediocre at best. New ownership has not helped this sinking ship. The sun has set on us eating here again. read more

Excellent in all ways. The service was welcoming, attentive and informed. The wine list was very good (I love it when Washington and Oregon wines are available given those states' emphases on supporting excellence in all their wineries); and while not a cocktail drinker, others at our table were experts and this is definitely a place for cocktail drinkers who know their stuff and are ready for some clever (and quality) innovations. Of course, if the food wasn't great, this wouldn't be a 5 star review. And it was. We have been here a few times and every order has been delicious and as to their signature items, exquisite. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The food and atmosphere is amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was also great. Perfect for a first date.

Ambiance is wonderful. We were at the farmers market walking along around 5PM on a Friday afternoon. We tried to get seats at 6PM so we can continue to walk around and was told that they can't guarantee seats for three people, so we opted to just grab our table. We sat down, got our drinks, food came out quick, the calamari and sauce was good, The mussels was definitely not fresh, it had an after taste. We've had better ones. It was not bad to the point of us getting sick, but they were definitely not fresh. Now the carrots were AMAZING! if you eat carrots and would like to have a variety, this place prepares them well and I strongly advise that you try it. It appears to have been blanched or boiled and then grilled with their raspberry compote and honey with the right amount of acidity and red pinions. It was just bursting with flavors Will this be a go to place for next time, maybe... it's a good place to try. Three stars for me.. read more

Drove up from Denver because our son had an activity in the area. We stopped in at 24 Carrot Bistro because of good reviews, but we had no particular expectation. What we experienced was nothing short of brilliant. Probably the best brunch that either of us have had in a decade or more. We sat at the bar and marveled at the bartender's knowledge of mixology as well as menu. We ordered a "Italian Beef Hash" and a quiche special to split. The quiche was as flavorful and fluffy and delicate and decadent and delicious as any I've ever had. Laced with roasted poblano pepper and ensconsed in a homemade crust it was jaw-droppingly good. The salad on the side was the perfect accompaniment and would be a stand-out on its own if the quiche itself wasn't such a show-stealer. The hash featured generous chunks of fork-tender cuts of beef and a homemade take on giardiniera which showcased the farm freshness which we've learned is 24 Carrot's trademark. The flawlessly poached eggs and the balanced cream sauce created a hearty skillet that was bowl-lickingly good. We truly couldn't stop enjoying until both plates were not only empty, but scraped and mopped. All this capped by meeting the owner Bianca Retzloff and her executive chef who could not have been kinder, more appreciative hosts. This is a gem in a most unexpected place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They've created a magical space and have claimed it their own.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So worth a visit, wherever you may come from on the front range. Thank you and well done! read more

My wife and I went here for a spontaneous date night in Downtown Erie. The restaurant has really good ambiance with the farm and rustic vibe. Food was delicious, staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Pricing also pretty reasonable for the farm to table. Calamari had the right amount of breading and was not over cooked. Super tender, flavorful and fresh. Only thing is that it was kinda salty. The barramundi is also super fresh. Meat was tender and buttery. Skin is crisp and added the perfect texture to the fish. Highly recommend it. Roasted duck was tender and juicy as well. The golden beets, sweet mash potatoes and pistachios along with blueberries that came with the dish added so much depth and flavors. Everything complemented each other very nicely. Absolutely loved this dish. Lastly the mini bites was the perfect amount to end the meal with something sweet. Absolute perfect date spot! I'd give it a 4.5 stars, only because the calamari was a bit salty for my taste. But everything else was delicious. Honestly the best part of the meal was the golden beets that they roast. It complements the duck very nicely. read more

Absolutely loved this place!! It's a small swanky fine dine restaurant serving some really good farm to table food! I would come back in a heart beat. I had the grilled duck breast & it was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the gnocci and loved it. It's not terribly expensive for an upscale place- expect to pay 30-40ish per entree & of course a salad, soup, drinks, dessert or an appetizer is going to be more. The service was great and our server did a good job. But here's the bottom line for me- my entree was fantastic, a really really good meal. The best meal I've had in Colorado so far.. If you're in Erie Denver looking for some great food, look no further!! This place is good, highly recommended! Happy eating. read more

Wow what a night!!!

I went to 24 carrot for lunch as I was in Erie on business. I ordered the Italian Beef sandwich. The sandwich was 95% bread on a very nondescript looking and tasting roll. I took one bite and tasted nothing but bread. I opened the sandwich !! There could not have been a total of 1 dollars worth of beef, sauted onion, and cauliflower. Now this sandwich came with a handful of fries and of course the sandwich. It cost $24 and an added "kitchen charge" OUTRAGEOUS !!. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is pretentious, overpriced and laughable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Did I eat the sandwich..NO I did not. I opened it and ate the laughable amount of beef and vegetables, paid (no tip) and left. Why didn't I refuse to accept this sandwich. Good question ! DON'T go there ! read more

We ate here for lunch and had high hopes for a delicious new local spot. Unfortunately the mark was missed when it came to the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is cute and well appointed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To start off with the good, my husband got the steak frites with fries and they were amazing! I had the gnocchi which was pretty awful. It was rectangular logs with no real gnocchi shape to them. It looked like potatoes in a stew. They were quite dense as well. The mushrooms were chewy and almost inedible. The portion size for the gnocchi for $28 was quite frankly high way robbery. It was maybe eight bites total. We also ordered the strawberry shortcake which was just ok and not worth $15. There were maybe 2 cut up strawberries on the whole thing. The biscuit was dense. The top part of the biscuit was good. The bottom was dry. The service was acceptable but we didn't feel as attended to as other tables who were told about the specials of the day and offered fresh black pepper, which we weren't privy to. read more

24 Carrot Bistro - Lunch: gnocchi and steak frites - New American Near Me - Erie, Colorado

Definitely a spot worth checking out. Located in the heart of the downtown area, with plenty of parking and ease of access. The ambience is unmatched. Goo vibes inside and a full bar with friendly staff. the food was not my style. A lot of gravy like items and maybe two too many things on each main entrée. It was good for sure, but the flavor of the food all meshed together because there were so many veggies and proteins and sauces all on one plate. I feel like it didn't really mater what we ordered, i was good, but kind of all tasted the same. We got a fish dish, a chicken dish, and a veggie dish. The cauliflower soup was delicious. Not my style, but definitely could be yours. read more

I met several friends for lunch yesterday and was disappointed with the food. I ordered the child size burger-very tough and dry with just a bun. One friend ordered a pear salad, "Sorry, we have no pears and will have to substitute apples" was the response. The lunch menu is very limited and to not have pears is poor management. read more

Came for a work dinner and had a fantastic meal. You must have the small plate carrots with the blackberry butter! So delicious wanted to lick the plate. One person ordered the bison short ribs and said they were fork tender and delicious. Second person had the pork loin with Brussel sprouts. The pork was able to be cut with a butter knife. I had the duck breast, which was cooked perfectly medium. The duck does have Calabrian chilis so some heat but not too hot. We had desserts, lavender cheesecake and carrot cake. Carrot cake does have nuts. The restaurant is not big but nice size with a bar too. The dress was causal to dressy causal. read more

This was one of our favorite restaurants for special occasions, but dinner last night was disappointing and over-priced. We both ordered the black cod, but received small, badly cut pieces of fish (including a tail) for $48 each. The potatoes that my wife asked to substitute for kale were also undercooked. We won't be back again (although we will miss the carrot cake.) read more

Brunch was really tasty! I liked everything I tried, from beignets to shrimp and grits. The veggies and the peppadew jam really made the shrimp and grits dish (in addition to perfectly grilled shrimp of course)! The rice grits were so good -- it gives the dish a congee-like element that is creamy and comforting to eat. My partner liked his steak and eggs and gave rave reviews to the béarnaise sauce. Service was friendly and our coffees and waters stayed full. Weeks later, I'm still thinking about this meal. If I lived in Erie, I would be here all the time! read more

The ambiance is very pretty for dates or dinner with friends. They have a great cocktail selection and all the ones we had were very nice. Staff is extremely friendly and we felt very comfortable there. My fav dish was the crab cakes and the Kale artichoke dip! Certainly get those, you will NOT regret it! My husband got the duck main and I got their new lamb dish. The duck dish had a good mixture of textures but also a balance on sweet and savory. I have VERY rarely sent a dish back and it was the lamb as not only was it too tough everything was salty with no really break from sweetness as they had feta with olives and drops of sauce that didn't really help cut through the saltiness and hence had to send it back. I took the star out because even though they were nice and said you can have another dish. I got another one after my husbands finished but also they did charge me for that dish. Usually out of courtesy they would take the new dish out. I got the duck confit instead and have to say that was a winner dish too read more

Stopped in for dinner on Thursday evening with my wife while in town visiting. Really cute little spot, we did not have reservations and thankfully they were not very busy so we got right in around 5:15. The staff was very friendly and our waiter did an excellent job. They really have a great selection of gluten free and can accommodate substitutions as needed quite liberally. We shared the asparagus starter which was amazing! It got me excited for the main course. My wife had the roasted carrot salad with chicken added and enjoyed that immensely and I really enjoyed the Halibut that was on special that night. It really is hard to go wrong with some delicious Halibut so there's that, but the accompaniments really did hit the spot. I was doing the happy dance! read more

I met a companion here for brunch early on a Sunday morning. I ordered green tea and the waiter said they had 2 kinds of tea. He mentioned English Breakfast and I told him that was black. He went to find out more and came back with a list of 6. I ordered the green tea which was made in Boulder and absolutely delightful. The restaurant is located in the adorable downtown area of Erie, Colorado. There was ample street parking at 9 am on Sunday morning. It is a very cold day though so no telling what the circumstances would be under different conditions. I ordered the special frittata. The mushrooms were very tough, didn't work with the potential delicate nature of a frittata. The frittata itself was crusty and rubbery, overcooked at the edges. read more

Updated Review: It's more than a gem, it's a treasure! As I've previously stated, 24 Carrot Bistro gives the best dining experience from start to finish in the Weld/Boulder County area. It'd been a few months since we've had it but nothing changed. The staff was friendlier than ever - shout out to Cass. She was a superstar of a waitress with a vibrant and genuine personality. I would have followed her into battle after her recommendation of the Pork Chop and NY Strip Steak special. Both were remarkable... remarkably full of flavor... remarkably cooked... remarkably presented... remarkably eaten from the plate, lol. And, I'm not sure what bartender was on duty... but I'm pretty sure my husband would have followed them into battle! He and I are always so impressed with their cocktail list. They do a really neat thing - on top of having a list of special curated cocktails - they offer old school historical and traditional cocktails that may have been forgotten about. We love going to this list and seeing what people in the 1920s or 1940s used to drink, and we have yet to have a cocktail we did not enjoy there! In conclusion, we are never disappointed with this place and will take any excuse to eat here... a birthday, a new job celebration, an anniversary, or just a "Hey, it's Tuesday. We should treat ourselves to 24 Carrot!" read more

This would have been a solid 3.5 star establishment, however my table came down with HORRIBLE food poisoning after eating here. I attempted to contact the restaurant via email about the situation, but never received a reply. Not even one apologizing or one attempting to look into a situation. I never asked for a handout or a refund. The entire table shared the Kale Parmesan Dip and we all had awful food poisoning the following early morning. Two of the party were laid up all day in bed or the couch. The three of us went over everything we ate the past 24 hours and the common factor was the dip. We enjoyed the dip until it wrecked havoc the next day. Ambiance is warm, but has the familiar farm to table aesthetic. The overenthusiastic waiter offered his opinion about everything we ordered from wine, beer, apps, and entrees. As Mr. Carson said on Downton Abbey, "you are here to work not to offer your opinion on the catering". Solid wine list.. Affirmed not only by the waiter, but by me, someone who drinks a variety of wine on a frequent basis. The duck breast, I had to ask for medium rare, after it was suggested that the cook wanted to overcook it at medium. It was delicious, but it was unfortunate it was drowned in all of the accompaniments. They too were very good, but far too much on the plate. read more

Wanted to try something new- this was a mistake. The biscuits and gravy were bland as heck and the pork omelette tasted entirely of asparagus; no pork, cheese, or egg could be tasted. The service was sub par, the server clearly didn't want to be there. They tack on an additional 4% kitchen appreciation fee, and I quote the menu, to "[provide] them a livable wage". Why not just pay them more, the food prices are certainly high enough! I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great food and service. Certainly a special treat, but then again it's always a good time for a great meal. Our waitress Kelly was awesome. She knew the menu well and instantly understood our likes. We all loved our dinner. Two had the duck and ate it to the bone. I had the hangar steak with the most decadent potatoes I've ever had. We also treated ourselves to desserts. The carat carrot cake and chocolate one. Again what made it so special was Kelly, and friends. read more
