The service was awful. We had to ask 4 different people for water. Our server Ciara was on cloud 9. Seriously the worst service ever. The Bloody Mary bar is not worth $22. We will not return to this place. The food was greasy and subpar. read more

Went for Sunday brunch on a recommendation. Some Of the food was good, but nothing was great. The big issue, however, was that the service was awful. We were at the table for 5 full minutes before getting water. I had one bottomless mimosa since they never offered refills. We had to ask for water for the kids 3 times before we got it. Plates from the buffet piled up on the table before I finally asked them to send a busser. Finally, no one ever asked how anything was. If I was the St. Julien hotel, I would look to replace this restaurant before it damages their brand. read more

The food, the atmosphere and the waiter, JT, was fantastic! We would definitely recommend this restaurant. We also arrived a bit lit in the evening, but they still accommodated us and did not rush us whatsoever. 5 stars for this restaurant read more

Tonight half of the restaurant was booked and our reservation put us in the bistro side of the restaurant. The table top was way too small for any partly larger than 2 even though they have 4 chairs. The service was solid, 4 stars. The food was was nothing special especially based on the price. $27 for salmon over a bed of organic quinoa (which tasted like water) and seasonal veg. The side Cesar salad was good, probably the best thing that I ate. There are so many great places to eat in Boulder. I think that Jill's is just average especially at this price point. What did I learn today? Escargot tastes of grass and notes of compost and dirt. Not my fav. read more

Was at Jill's tonight for Thanksgiving dinner. Food was excellent and the people that work at Jills were so nice. And not the typical stiff, cold, all business, type staff that one may assume works there. So attentive and genuinely wanted you to enjoy your time. The young woman seating us at the host stand, our server Marta, and all the support staff, service was great. Was our first time in 20 years not to host dinner at our home so the family feel was important. Dinner was fantastic and for once a nice restaurant had a really good beer list ( how hard is that?) My one suggestion would be to provide some rolls/bread with dinner. Seemed odd that a Thanksgiving dinner would not have that. Otherwise it was great. One last note, a had 3 people in my pArty with dietary restrictions. Gluten and dairy. Marta was completely on top of that. Greatly appreciated. read more

Amazing service and food. End of story. We had the Bloody Mary bar, shrimp and grits, and tots. I love that they have a separate kids menu and it offers a lot for kids! read more

bruhhhh goofy ahhhhh rest er aunt, i shitted in the bathroom and stunk it up. could smell that shit from my table. the food was like 30 bucks and i would have rather eaten at taco smell instead. service was good tho. read more

I realize I am way overdue for an update, after visiting Jill's for brunch and Happy hour a few times over the last few years. And especially since I had a very nice experience during my last visit with a few friends. We decided to have Happy hour on a Friday night, and noticed that the menu had changed. We shared a few small plates, all of them very good: Pesto Roasted Cauliflower (came in a big chunk to cut, very flavorful), Steamed Prince Edward Island Mussels, Mushroom Pizza and Poutine. The portions were reasonable and even the Poutine (which can be a big mess of soggy fries swimming in watery gravy) was yummy with the right amount of cheese (not sure it was the real curds though) and thick gravy. We ended with a Tiramisu (not on the Happy hour menu, as expected), pretty and delicious. The $7 cocktails are definitively worth it and you even get a selection of 5 different ones. On Fridays, the lobby can be very loud with the band and dancers. It makes for a lively and fun atmosphere, but not quite the place to go to if you want to talk and relax with friends. Now, I'd love to try Jill's lunch buffet! read more

We dined here over Valentines weekend and I was excited as their prefix menu looked delicious. Unfortunately food was mediocre at best. Nothing we ate in the restaurant seemed very fresh and flavors were bland. We got two different mixed drinks from the bar and both were drinkable, but far from good. The server was kind, but spread way too thin. It took 20 minutes to get more water sitting there with empty water and drink glasses. I understand they just opened back up to 50% capacity, which is why I was shocked to see only 2 servers trying to hold it down alone over valentines weekend. I would have given Jills 1 star based on the food and drink quality, but had to give them 2 stars for the server team effort. read more

When it's good here it's really good. However I have had sub par experiences here from time to time so it's hit or miss and I haven't gone here as regularly as I use to. I came in for breakfast one morning and the waiter was in a bad mood his shirt was dirty and he was disheveled. The espresso he tried to serve me was lukewarm and the food took forever and arrived cold when it finally came out. He argued with me that there was nothing wrong with the food or espresso so we cancelled the whole order and left and went to a nearby Starbucks that gave a better presentation on food and coffee than here at Jill's. This is an expensive high end restaurant but sometimes they lack and I feel like I'm in a dive. I've brought my concerns to their snooty manager who just responded with excuses as to how great his waiter is and he will show me next time what they are made of, however offered no resolution to the current visit. I've found that dinner is better than breakfast or lunch and lately the place seems empty so there's obviously some problems here. Maybe get a new manager. This place needs consistency with good service and food. read more

We had our after-wedding-brunch here and they did a fantastic job. We weren't quite sure how many people would end up showing up, so we gave a rough count of 30. Obviously I didn't want my mom paying $35 a head for brunch, so we opted to do a more limited brunch instead which didn't include the crab legs, shrimp, champagne and desserts (which looked amazing)-- but had pretty much everything else like sausage and bacon and omelettes. Since we had such a large party, they worked with us on the price per person which was very gracious. We had about 40 (or was it 50?) people show up between 9-11am. Some coming and going, some staying the whole time, some eating and running. The staff at Jill's did a great job of managing the bill AND the tables and keeping tabs on who was in our party. The coffee refills were plentiful and they were courteous the whole time. We are definitely going to visit Jill's for their full Sunday brunch, maybe as an anniversary tradition. read more

I came to Jill's for a graduation dinner. We were lucky enough to get the table surrounded by windows which was also a little separated from the other tables. The waiters were very nice, but the most noticeable thing was that the service was so slow. Like, painfully slow. Like molasses on a cold day in January slow. It took about 45 minutes to get our drinks, another 15 to get some bread (after voicing some frustration on our part), and probably another 30 minutes for appetizer salads. Altogether, I had the Caesar salad (perfectly seasoned), the New York strip steak (nice and tender and came with fries), and the dessert sampler with crime brûlée (a little soupy instead of custardy), the chocolate cake (very rich), and fruit tart (a delicious bite). It's a shame the service was so frustrating. read more

Food was great, service is very friendly but slow in the morning & evening. If you aren't in a hurry to eat I recommend this restaurant. It's very clean and has a great atmosphere. read more

New to the neighborhood...I dine here about 2-3+ times a week and I am surprised that Jill's is not packed at lunch time. Oh well...perhaps the gorgeous glass windows, upscale linens and hushed elegance are too formal for Boulder's casual lunches? This is the POWER LUNCH spot but with the added perk that Jill's offers a ready-when-you-are 'buffet' in the formal dining room, plus a bistro menu in the casual bar lounge. A better word for 'Buffet'? Muffy: "We're not eating at a buffet, Skippy, we're ready-dining!" The 'buffet' is not Country Buffet. Instead of lasagna surprise, think Provencal pistou soup served alongside perfectly balanced white bean, hummus and pesto ( I like to add a little pesto and white bean as an island within my pistou soup bowl)...artisanal breads, gourmet Tuscan and southern France pissaladiere-inspired pizza and flatbreads, pasta and fresh, creative salads: Mixed greens with candied walnuts, cranberries, bleu cheese...orzo with orange segments, herbs and nuts...arugula with grilled shrimp, vegetables, roasted artichokes, olives...the finest lamb stew this side of Villefranche. Fridays offer a vegan lunch theme and it is so good that I suspect that even seasoned carnivores have to stop to think about what is missing. Oh, and lunch 'buffets' are accompanied with a glass of Provencal rose (not sweet, but crisp) in your ticket price of $12 and change. Seriously!! It's SUCH A DEAL. Kids are $8 and that is so worth the price for NO WHINING "when is the food coming?" ...ready-made pizza, mini desserts such as cheesecakes, chocolate mousse cups, ramekins of creme brulee, fresh berries and fruits, perfectly prepared macaroons, chocolate cake, pastries...it changes every day and it's like Forrest Gump's proverbial Box of Chocolates...you never know which one you're going to get. Golfers can relate. I prefer to think of it not as a buffet, but more like a ready game of dining. Muffy: "We're not eating at a buffet, Skippy, we're ready-dining!" Dinners are a class act. Traditional without being stuffy, repetitive or overly premeditated. Steak Diane prepared tableside, exacting desserts, perfectly prepared steaks, filets and chops. They hit each entree on all rails. The service and food match the endless parade of Euro cars in valet, which is fun to watch from the comfort of your dining spot overlooking Walnut Street. read more

Mother's Day 2022... The Hotel was beautiful and I was anticipating a very nice meal with my family - however instead of checking with me on my reservation they just assumed I wanted the buffet and sat us in the ballroom which looked like any convention center - it was not an intimate dining experience at all - not what I wanted. The service wasn't horrible, but the attitude from the staff was one of 'I can't believe I'm working a buffet'! We were apparently the first seating of the second seating service and the food was a remainder from the previous service - the taste was ok but nothing was hot and the Eggs Benedict was so hard you couldn't cut through it even with a knife! When we decided to revisit the food stations the staff took our used place setting (good) but we had to wait and ask for replacement cutlery - and then they only gave a fork! We had to ask again for knives. It felt like they kept trying to push us out - taking our coffee cups and not bringing fresh, barely a refill on water. For $85/plate this felt more violating to me than paying taxes! I would have - I will not do this again at this restaurant. read more

I had the pleasure of going to an event here this weekend ! I was blown away by the presentation of the buffet .. The staff was lovely as well.....i had the eggs,waffles with the blueberry sauce and the carmelized oatmeal to begin my brunch...It was so tasty..i went back for more too...the cheeses were amazing...And so were the desserts...everything was lovely and the restaurant was nice and clean...Phillipe was a gem and gave the experience a certain charm.... We will come again and have another delish meal here... I loved the Yelp event and the awesome people we sat by .... Thanks again Jills..... read more

Jill's is an amazing place to grab dinner and drinks in Boulder. JT was an amazing server who is super accommodating and kind. The food is amazing - especially the Brussels sprouts! Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options as well!! read more

Went here as recommended by sweet simple vegan and the happy cow app. Ordered a salad with candied brazil nuts and crispy brussels and some hummus with pita bread. My daughter ordered the black bean burger. Everything tasted fine and was served hot. Service was friendly and helpful. It was okay food for a non vegan restaurant. I waa a littlw confused about why some of the menu items that contained cheese were labeled as vegan but i just asked for them to be without cheese. I probably wouldnt go back here since it cost us $75 for a lunch for 3 people. read more

We went to Jill's on a Monday evening for dinner. Our friends raved about the vegan Friday brunches and Dinners on Monday evenings so we had to give it a try. We were not disappointed! The food was incredibly delicious, the service was wonderful and the presentation was first class. It is making my mouth water just writing this review ;-). My only disappointment is that we have to drive from Denver to Boulder to eat there but it is well worth it! read more

After researching many brunch spots in Boulder for Mother's Day, I finally decided on Jill's Restaurant, which is located in the beautiful St. Julien hotel. Things have just started opening back up, and I'm thinking they may have been short-staffed as we were told they're running behind schedule. That didn't seem the case as the service was great, the food delicious, and the company even better. Would love to make this a yearly tradition with me mom. read more

I've been to their lunch buffet several times in the past year, and I really enjoy it. It's so hard to find a high class buffet anywhere. They always have 3 varied salads, 3-5 different pizzas, several desserts, and 3 entrees. It's 15 bucks and includes a glass of wine, which is a good value for high quality food in Boulder. A couple of caveats (why isn't this review 5 stars?): The 3 entrees don't always include any meat, so I call ahead as I am not a vegetarian. They often serve ratatouille and pasta dishes, but once had ribeye steak medallions in vegetables, and another time had mozzarella-stuffed meatballs, and another time had prime rib. Unfortunately, neither the ribeye nor the prime rib had any visible pink, which for me means they were overcooked, but fortunately they were still decent tasting. read more

This is the poorest excuse for a restaurant we have ever been too!! Ultimately they get a decent customer base from their hotel guests. But most of them are one and done. Most restaurants rely on repeat customers and I find it extremely difficult to believe anyone living in the Boulder area would ever come back here after one dining experience. The service is terrible the food is average the only thing they have going for them is the ambiance of the dining room and hotel. Otherwise just say no and stay away!!! We started by being seated and waited 15 minutes then I got up and asked for water and a server. When we finally got a server we ordered a pizza which took forever. Then we ordered the chili and asked for it to be xtra hot. It took 30 minutes for that to come out and it came out cold and we sent it back. We ordered our food for our main course and then Alex came back and asked if we wanted to place our dinner order and we said we already had. It has now been 2 hours since our reservation time and we have yet to see our entrees. We asked for a box 5 x for our pizza we ordered for our appetizer and never got it and ate it because we have never got our entrees. This is so fuck up. This restaurant is disfunctualy. You need to fix this up. You all are such an inbaressment to the community. We will never be back We will be call corporate Alex and Jt are awful read more

This is a decent place to come if you are looking for a relatively quiet and dimly lit dinning experience. I'd recommend coming for the happy hour deals and enjoying some of their small plates and cocktails to unwind after a day of work. Otherwise the full price menu seemed to be overpriced and fit the ambiance but not the quality of the food. read more

We've been here twice now - once for the pasta buffet and once for Sunday brunch. In general, the place is very classy - you may feel out of place if you are just coming down from a hike but otherwise, being in Boulder, it's not as dressy as it might be in another city. The hotel attached is very nice and the underground parking is free on Sat/Sunday, otherwise there is valet or pay parking. First, the pasta buffet was very yummy - we didn't go with a crowd so we were easily able to get several mix-ups made and the salad offerings were also good. The pesto sauce was excellent and they gave us a ton. The Sunday buffet was ok - lines were long and they didn't take the time to tell us anything about it, so I didn't know if drinks were included so we just had water. My FIL did order tea with sugar and cream. Sugar was on the table, but it took us nearly 20 minutes to track down the cream, even to the point that he had to go find the waiter and ask. Poor service, but they were busy running around. The waffles were very good, small though so if you like waffles, order two or three at a time. The crab legs were a surprising treat, but they weren't THAT good, so be aware and don't overstuff yourself on them. Desserts were good and they have enough food that you will be satisfied. I would have given 4 stars if I had the drinks better explained and had the service been a bit faster. read more

My husband and I often travel for work and are exhausted by the time our events are through... needless to say we have become quite the experienced room service critics. Jill's restaurant supplies room service food for the St. Julien. The food is incredible - two thumbs up. The brussel sprouts were cooked and flavored to perfection, along with the rest of the plates. Staff was super friendly on the phone as well. Wow! What a wonderful experience. read more

I was absolutely blown away by this place. I went for their Monday night Oh La La Dinner which was a four course vegan dinner with a glass of wine all for $30!!! I was greeted with a smile and they immediately asked how to pronounce my last name so they could address me properly. I was seated and the waitress was super nice and attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance was beautiful and romantic and everyone was so kind. Now the food. Absolutely delicious!! The four courses were not too big and not too small so I was definitely full afterwards but not overly stuffed. My favorite was the first course mango salsa with plantain chips and then the dessert! Dessert is rarely my favorite and I don't often order it because I am not a dessert person but the churros, dolche de leche caramel and deep rich chocolate fudge were spectacular. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back soon! read more

3.5 stars. I recommend the cali muffin: English muffin with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage (I ordered mine without) guacamole, roasted chilis, tomato, and pepper jack cheese (also went sans cheese). Super tasty and filling without making you feel disgusting. I ordered it two mornings in a row! I also had an almond milk latte both mornings. Hotel coffee drinks can be hit or miss, but mine were good both mornings. I would make a reservation, even if you are staying at the St. Julien. They seem to be busy. read more

Jill's Restaurant - Chocolate, peanut butter, and banana smoothie. Very good. - New American Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This review is for the restaurant's happy hour only. I saw their happy hour menu (4-6pm daily) and I knew I had to try out their Bistro Tots. There weren't many people in the restaurant around 5:30pm, so I had a table to myself. The Bistro Tots were delicious and the Truffle Mac and Cheese was fab as well. The tots were made with mashed potatoes on the inside and a crust on the outside + truffle aoli and parmesan cheese. The mac and cheese was made with rigatoni pasta. The happy hour food is priced well, so it's a great spot to stop by for a couple bites of food then hop somewhere else in downtown Boulder! read more

Please update your a YELP & Google listings to reflect that you are closed from 11-12; I stopped by one day and ran into this issue and then called a second day later in the week to see if you were open only to get the run around; yes we are open, yes there's outdoor seating; only after I asked if you were closed from 11-12 would the operator acknowledge that. It's frustrating. read more

This was a few years ago but the chef needs to teach their staff how to saute shrimp. Cooked and served table side, it was under cooked and bland. Jill's being in such a beautiful hotel, I had hope it's restaurant would be exceptional. I was with six other diners, nothing stood out as being beyond average. I don't plan to go back, truly disappointing. read more

Not surprisingly, I had a terrible breakfast dish at Jill's recently. (I was with a group, one of whom wanted to go there). "Not surprisingly" because I've never had a good meal at JIll's, and everyone to whom I mentioned going there said, basically, "WHY?" I had their "Chef's Hash," described as "Poached eggs, hash browns, bacon, bell peppers mushrooms, spinach, truffle hollandaise sauce chili sauce." What I got was a brown mass of overcooked, absolutely tasteless veges with OK poached eggs and an equally bland yellow sauce. "Chilis" were certainly not in evidence. Oh, and this cost $12.95. A better such dish can be had all around town, such as at Walnut Cafe, for two dollars less at least. But this pricing is typical of Jill's, a classic over-priced, mediocre hotel dining establishment. The only thing positive I can say is that it's a lovely dining room (check out the beautiful glass figures towards the back) and they make the New York Times available for free. Maybe go in the morning and sit at the bar, order a coffee, which wasn't terrible (bottomless for around $2.50 I think it was), and read the paper. But, for sure, have breakfast somewhere else before. read more

This is a wonderful restaurant. Every course was excellent on my two visits : warm spinach salad, an assortment of appetizers, duck entree, and dessert duo. Excellent wine selection. Great Service. Prices are far below that which one would expect to pay at a fine dining restaurant of this caliber. Update 8\08 - Have been back multiple times. A couple times for special set dinners. One a sake dinner, and the other for a wine pairing dinner. Have also been back for normal dinners twice. The food and drink is always right on. Ask for recoomendations and pairing and you will not be steered wrong. read more

We found this place during restaurant week and if quickly became one of our favorites. I usually try to stay away from hotel restaurants but this one is different. With a fantastic window table with a view of urban Boulder, and amazing dinner and appetizer options Jill's is a winner. We love our little date night place because the staff is super friendly and the service is amazing. Brunch is one of my favorites although pricy, but nothing beats their kobe beef sirloin or lobster pasta dish for dinner. If you haven't tried it yet, save it for your restaurant week list. Their 3 course dinner was my favorite of the year and it made us fall in love with this little bistro. read more

Overall, it was ok. Service was fair, wine list is great, food was ok. Food was plain tasting. Coffee machine was broken. With a wine list like that the servers need to be better trained in serving the wine. Spent $350 for 4 people and walked away with just a fair experience. read more

We are staying at the St Julien Hotel and love it. However, we went to get dessert tonight at 8:25 pm at Jill's restaurant. We walked in wearing Broncos gear, pretty casual. We asked for the dessert menu and found one at the bar. The hostess walked to us and informed us we couldn't be seated because they had no more tables. When we responded that we wanted to take a dessert order to go, she informed us that their kitchen is too busy and that they would not be able to accommodate taking any order from us. She said they had two large parties and couldn't take any more orders and directed us to room service. We went to the front desk manager to help and he didn't help either. Very disappointed in the lack of service. read more

Pretty bad. Inside restaurant was empty yet we hardly saw our waitress. Salad came out the same time as entrees. Pizza was terrible. Soggy and so much heavy cheese. Even a cheese lover would have peeled it off. So disappointing and by far the worst food I've had in Boulder. Every other restaurant I went to in Boulder had great food and this one was an anomaly. Don't go here! read more

I LOVE Jill's Restaurant in St Julien Hotel & Spa! I have been many times, some friends came in from out of town and I wanted to treat them. Our waiter was JT, he was incredible.
