Ado's is a must if you are in the Boulder, CO area. The food is amazing! I would recommend to anyone looking for diverse and delicious cuisine! 5 stars!!!!! read more

After a long hike, our party of 5 was hungry. We have high standards on fresh, healthy food, with some gluten free and veg preferences. Bam, right on the sign outdoor Ado's assured us those standard would be met! Inside, everyone was authentically friendly - honestly glad we joined their space - and spoke about he food with real passion and detailed knowledge. The flavors come from all over the world! Fun thing was watching the team cook our meals and they said it would take long but was rather quick for fresh, complete plates. Food blew us out of the water!! Such taste sensations, all from whole ingredients and high quality crafting. My dish was the eggplant florentine and it had several layers of texture and flavor; very satisfying. We ate every morsel on the table. Will return to explore more of their exciting menu! read more

Nice breakfast before a CU football game. I don't remember what I had, but it was good.

While the Hill (the campus area west of CU) is usually not noted for excellent food,, Ado's is a glaring exception, except that it is not obvious how good this place is. We have previously lived in and now continue to be associated with Boulder for many years. Coming into town for a visit with our daughter we did a Yelp check to see what is happening with the food scene there. We found great reviews on Ado's and decided to have lunch there and see for ourselves. The three of us went there for a late lunch on Friday. All of the choices looked unusual and good and the prices seemed too low for quality food. I was on the verge of choosing the burger (a fool for smoked bacon) but when the two eggs Benedict orders arrived at the table next to ours, I quickly changed my mind. I had the 'standard' Benedict with ham, but there was nothing standard about the tasty, crispy polenta substituted for the tired English muffins. A tip: the polenta stayed crisp throughout the meal. Muffins usually turn soggy before the Benedict is done. The combination of the finely poached eggs, tangy benedict sauce, pesto, tender ham and polenta was delicious. The mix of flavors was savory and the textures complimented themselves. One can get an ordinary burger, fries and a beer for $12, but you surely don't expect excellently prepared, original food for that. Ado's is now going to be a regular stop when we are in Boulder. If you haven't tried it, don't hesitate. I'd offer the opinion that anything on the menu is worth trying. It is certainly worth more than Chef Ado charges. read more

For medium, the steaks were overcooked... No pink... But still the best steak we've had in Colorado so far. The waitress was extremely friendly... Great time. read more

Can you say "Best kept secret in Boulder"? I've been going here for 4 years now. Located on the hill, I think most people over look this place. Because let's be honest.... theres nothing up there besides quick food that only a drunken college kid would want. But Ado's ranks up there with places like The Med, or Brasserie, but doesn't break the bank like those places can. Ado's has been my favorite place to eat for a long time. The Chicken Valdastona, the burgers, the pasta dishes, The Brussel sprouts.... are like no other. The only thing this place has in common with other establishments on the hill.... its affordable. read more

this place is fantastic! So much of Boulder is snooty hipster trendy territory, but this place is just a plain honest restaurant with truly excellent food. don't be fooled by the neighborhood, which is all college student stores-Ado's Is more than worth the short trip away from Pearl Street and downtown. read more

My favorite dinner on The Hill and one of my favorites in Boulder. Lamb burger with mint and balsamic, pistachio crusted salmon, good local ipa selection, and well thought-out novel tasty salads make this place a regular on my hit list. read more

The food is out of this world! there is a dish that has been in the Boulder weekly for the top 10 places over the past year! it's the chicken Marsala and it is out of this world!! also amazing staff! kacy will take care of you at the bar and Ado (chef) will make any other modifications that you need! certainly a place to stop and check out :) read more

Ado's Kitchen & Bar - CHICKEN MARSALAAAAAA - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

My sister and I chose this place because of it's convenient location to Fox Theater, where we were catching a concert. I'm glad we did, because the food and service were both phenomenal. read more

Crazy good. Not possible to starve in Boulder. But more likely is being bored, taken for granted, overcharged for what one receives, long waits for the inevitable mediocrity. Ado's is special. Breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. Who does that. Incredible food. read more

Very good food! Perhaps best on the Hill. Have had the Prime Rib sandwich, the Crab Benedict and the Eggplant Florentine. All were wonderful. read more

Had lunch here twice now. The first time I had papusas and eggs. It was wonderful. The sauce was amazing. The second time I had chilaquilles. For me it's always a good sign when I don't have to add any condiments. The dish looks simple but underneath the eggs and chips is an amazing sauce that prompted me to write this review. They have an extensive menu and the prices are reasonable. I'll be back read more

We went for brunch. We ordered the Breakfast Pupusa, Eggplant Florentine, and Eggs Benedict. The food was good, except I FOUND A HAIR IN THE PUPUSA. We left a note, and none apologized or took the Pupusa off the check. Definitely not going back! read more

Best breakfast, no wait! Our food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The staff genuinely cares about your experience at their restaurant, our server Kacy was great and the chef came out to be sure we liked our food. I would highly recommend this place! It has something for everyone on the menu, I personally will try them all. read more

Wow! That crab benedict at brunch really was so good! Very nice server and a place I would definitely go again.

Every time I'm in town, this is the only spot I consistently have to hit. Ado crushes the game with his creative dishes and pops out from behind the kitchen to say what's up. Whether you want a solid breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a beer, you'll want to check it out. read more

Best brunch in Boulder. So cheap. $11 for pancakes and eggs. Their Eggs Benedict ($12) is unreal. I'll be back.

This by far was the best meal I have had in a very long time. We drove up to Boulder from Littleton and found this place. I would drive again and again for the food my family just ate. I highly recommend eating at Ado's. read more

Delicious and complex! We tried this restaurant based on the great Yelp reviews, and the food was fantastic. Based on the servers recommendation I ordered the Chicken Marsala, which had a wonderfully complex depth of flavor, a perfect balance of mushrooms, rice and cheese topped with a thinly pounded sautéed chicken breast. My husband was very happy with the Chicken piccata, again a wonderfully complex balance of lemon, garlic and capers, with mashed potatoes and a thinly pounded chicken breast. College town restaurants aren't always known for great food, this is an exception! read more

Go here! We tried Ado's based on the 5-star review here from the chef at one of the top restaurants in Boulder and we were very glad we did! The food is some of the best we have had in Boulder. The fried Brussels sprouts were plate-licking good. And my husband commented that nothing we had on a recent 2-week trip in Italy was half as good as Ado's shrimp pasta. They also have a nice bar. Perfect spot for a meal before campus events as it's walking distance. We'll be back to try breakfast too. read more

Amazing!!!! We were wandering around trying find a place on the hill and we hit the jackpot!! Best chicken piccata ice ever had. Fantastic happy hour, and the owner is heartfelt and gifted. Boulder locals, get your date night happening over here. You will leave feeling warm and cozy, knowing you supported an awesome local and had a delicious experience! read more

We came for brunch and could not resist the Eggs Benedict. We were not disappointed! The polenta was creamy and delicious, the ham is the real deal and the hollandaise delightful. An amazing experience and can't wait to come back for dinner! Nom nom nom read more

Fantastic food. If you are on the Hill and looking for something considerably up from the norm, with a visitor or a client, check it out. I just had a dish with fried chicken, garlic mashed potatoes with perfect asparagus, some lardons for chew and contrast and a rockin sauce. Great service, Great place trying to make it in the Hill. read more

The BEST food in boulder. Hand down my favorite place to go grab a bite to eat. The best service from a very friendly crew. They really make you feel right at home. The food was so amazing they have mushroom creeps there that my girlfriend got. (Suggested from bartender) let me just say i don't like mushrooms all that much but these were amazing! They also have a very good selection of music playing while you eat. I will definitely be coming back here every time I'm in boulder. If your looking for a new place to try i would highly recommend coming to check out this great bar. You will not be disappointed. read more

Came from out of town. Food is great and reasonably priced. I had the chicken frittata. Cooked perfect and one of the best mashed potatoes I've had. The chef is very talented and cooks so many different styles of food. From what I hear from my friend the menu changes. Not sure I would describe it as fusion cuisine. More like if great Italian, Spanish, and American restaurant with new ideas was the same place. Will be back the next time I visit. read more

Such a hidden gem! I wandered in one Saturday afternoon for brunch and was delightfully surprised. The food is absolutely delicious (and such a refreshing departure from run of the mill brunch offerings). The service is equally impressive--incredibly friendly and welcoming. When you add the fact that they don't have a crazy 60 minute wait-time like many other brunch spots in Boulder, it's a definite win. Do yourself a favor and skip the parking headache downtown and obnoxious wait times--just go here. I will definitely be back! read more

Some of the best food in Boulder, so underrated. My go-to place any time I want amazing food from people who truly understand flavor.

Sweet attentive service and amazing scallops with zucchini risotto. A delightful, flavorful experience. I'll be back. read more

I am never very impressed with Boulder restaurants in terms of providing a good value and high quality food. This place provides both!

After waiting about 15 mins without being served, I left the restaurant... I'll never come back again.

Boulders best little secret! The owner is such an awesome guy. He loves what he does for a living and it shows on his menu. I think I've eaten here a good dozen times now, and every time I go I get something new. And each time I find a new favorite dish. Ado continuously blows my taste buds away. From his fried Brussels sprouts, to the Chicken Val'dastona. Everything is a 10/10. The staff there is also so on point and always with a welcoming smile. By far my favorite place to eat in boulder. Rivals if not beats out The Med, Brasserie, or the chop house. read more

After you seat yourself, service was quick and gracious.I I had the spicy chicken , I came out pretty saucy but it was tasty enough. Only gripe is my coffee was cold. read more

Some of the best food I have ever eaten! The mushroom crepes and the brussel sprouts are amazing!

Love this place. Super good food and lots of gluten free options. The brussel sprout appetizer is awesome and the filet mignon is LEGIT.

We stumbled upon this place and boy are we glad we did. The staff is super friendly and the food is outstanding. We had the fried brussels sprouts for the appetizer and oh man I am not ashamed to say we finished the whole plate. There is a pear reduction of some sort drizzled on top that is just genius. For brunch I had the crab cake benedict and I don't think I've ever had such a flavorful crab cake anywhere. We are about to hop on a flight back to Texas and this little surprise was the perfect ending to a lovely weekend in Denver. read more

Went back to Ado's during our most recent visit and loved it again! This is not your run-of-the-mill bar food. Ado's has a comfortable, bar-like feel with a more diverse and sophisticated menu. The owner, Ado, was really friendly, accommodating and genuinely committed to creating a great experience. I had a Bloody Mary with their homemade mix and it was spicy and good! I ordered the Pad Thai. It was so tasty and the portion was huge. I took more than half of it back to our rental to eat for later and had enough for an entire meal. My husband was perfectly happy with his IPA and burger, which they made just the way he liked it with sautéed mushrooms and onions. This is a great place for parents to go when their CU child wants to spend time with their friends. It's also a great place conveniently located on the hill to take your child and their friends for a little bit more of an upscale meal. read more

Simply amazing. The grilled caesar salad was the best salad I have ever had and the chicken dish I ordered was wonderful. Will be going back again very soon! read more

Always enjoy the food. Varied menu with enjoyable taste explosions. Brussel sprouts appetizer with apple cider reduction is a must.

My first time there. Went for breakfast. GREAT food. One of us got the Papusa Breakfast Plate. One of us got the meat lover's omelette (served with potatoes and toast). Both dishes were exceptional. 5 star. A+ Sadly, the coffee was both mediocre and barely warm - even after sending it back the first time. I will DEFINITELY eat there again (but I won't waste $2.75 on the coffee). I am curious to try other dishes and other meals. read more
