My boyfriend and I came in for a nice breakfast and we got seated fast and got our food fast too. I wasn't a big fan of my plate and I didn't really finish even half of it.

We ordered some…read morefavorite appetizers during happy hour and the had our favorite main,okonomiyaki with seafood for our meal. It was loaded with scallops, shrimp and squid. Of course we always take the bonito flakes which arrive dancing on top of the food, to wave in the escaping heat of the fresh seafood omelet. They have a roasted barley tea I love that has no caffeine as made without a decaffeinating process and so different than herbals common in Boulder. It has real substance. As we started to eat our pork gyoza and Ebi shumai we saw a lit candle in some food being carried across the room. Having eaten here baby times over the year, we were surprised as we had never seen this here. The entire restaurant broke in singing happy birthday to someone too far for us to see. As a server was passing our table, I mentioned we were celebrating my husband's birthday too. He said meh!d let someone know. As we were waiting for our dessert later, the owner who we've met before , with one of the servers who was carrying an ice cream mochi with a flaming birthday candle arrived and placed it in front of my husband and all the patrons broke out in sing again! Who knew this was a tradition here? The owner, who is almost always on the floor had an instant camera and too a picture of our table with the candle celebration. He made a copy for us to take home and one for nh husband to sign which will go up on some wall I had never noticed. We'll be sure to check in the walk the next time we are in. It's such a fun place with really good food. Do make a reservation these days. It's always busy, the now are only open Wed- Sat for dinner. As we were leaving on a very cold night, there weee people packed into the little entry way waiting for seats. One woman was shivering as she had just flown in from FL she said, unprepared for the recent shift back to winter today. Shocked me this morning too.

Servers were extremely friendly and they have a button you press when you're ready to order/want the check which was really convenient. Food came out fast. My favorite sushi was probably the salmon nigiri. It was extremely buttery and fresh. Also the eel was great. I wouldn't recommend the maki/rolls as much as the nigiri. They also had a lot of options that weren't sushi like ramen, salad, rice dishes, okonomiyaki, and more. Definitely some menu items you can't get at any Japanese restaurant. I would definitely recommend coming here.

The spring rolls were like an oasis in the desert after walking around the Boulder Art Festival on a very sunny day in July. They were packed with herbs and veggies and the peanut sauce really is exceptional. Perfectly balanced to my taste. I knew I wanted mango sticky rice so I kept the entree light and got a cup of tom yum soup with tofu. This too was packed with an impressive amount of veg and protein. The flavor was nice but it was veeeeery salty so I left most of the broth behind. Finally time for dessert. I would have ordered it anyway but when the server said "the mangos are so perfect today" I was fully locked in. Thankfully, it didn't disappoint. The mango was indeed fresh and perfect. The rice was super sticky but not gummy and was soaked with a perfectly sweet coconut sauce. I like a lot of coconut sauce so I could have done with more but it was very delicious regardless. Would try a different entree next time, but overall really good.

I first tried Aloy at an event in Denver and really liked it. I knew there was a branch location in…read moreBoulder for years but since it is not downtown where I do know many restaurants on Pearl and can get the on my own by bus since I no longer have good vision for driving, I need a car ride for this spot. We tried it this evening and liked it a lot. I see why it is so popular. But do know they do not have identical menu items to the Denver locations. This fact did cause me to be disappointed when one of the items arrived at the table. My husband loved it though, as he is a big fan of cream cheese which I am not. I only eat items like NY cheesecake and on bagels with lox. What I wanted to try was the roasted duck dumpling but got the fried wonton with cream cheese and duck. It had a good sauce as well as a slice of mango and a pinch of pea shoots on the top. I do love baby pea shoots and though not what I envisioned, I did eat my portion. The shrimp spring rolls were some of the best I have had in a while. I had a hot oolong tea and my husband had a Thai tea. We both liked our drinks which were exactly as we expected. We also had a "small" plate of bbq chicken which was hardly a small thing. A large tasty section of chicken on a bed of lettuce with a side of shredded carrot and cabbage with a very nice sauce. It was perfect for my husband but as I am not allowed chicken skin, it was harder to eat but tasty. Such a bigger serving than we expected, we brought enough home for lunch tomorrow. The staff were friendly, helpful yet not intrusive. The setting was perfect for me and for all as the variety of styles allow for accommodating any needs. Pricing was average for Boulder and more than worth it. We will be back and try more items. Often have lunch with a friend who drives and it will be perfect for that this summer.

The whole space feels warm and relaxed in a way that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Food was genuinely very good across the board and the service struck that perfect balance of being attentive without constantly interrupting the table or hovering over conversations. I'd especially recommend it for small groups or date nights because it manages to feel social without getting overwhelmingly loud. Parking is mostly street parking, but we didn't have too much trouble finding a spot nearby.

I think the best thing about River and Woods is the interior and exterior decoration. It is very clear that a lot of thought and time was put into the atmosphere here. From the cute door knocker to the bathroom wallpaper, the theme is well-executed. The food was a bit disappointing. The blue oyster mushroom appetizer was extremely salty. I thought it was just me but the rest of the table agreed as well. My trout was well-cooked and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The chicken was also salty although cooked well. I did not try the burger but I was told it was salty as well. The prices of all the items were quite high for what I thought was presented. Service was good and thankfully our waters were filled frequently for how much water we were drinking due to the high salt content.

For me, the flavors are more like a 3/5: the beef tasted a bit stronger than I'm used to, hate to use the word "gamey" but that's the best description I can use. The fries made in beef tallow also had a distinctive taste that wasn't necessarily bad but not my favorite. The only item that was a 1/5 for me was the shake, where I had to just say no and barely could have three tastes of it. The sweetness was just too unusual for me. However, I might just be used to more standard food (usually more into In n Out or Shake Shack or Good Times vibes) so I'm happy I tried this and encourage others to check it out for themselves!

Another customer eventually helped us figure out that orders needed to be placed online. About half the tables had not been bussed, and new customers were clearing dirty dishes from previous customers themselves just to have somewhere to sit. One table remained covered with dirty dishes and leftover food for over an hour, the entire time we were there. What made this particularly frustrating was seeing staff sitting and taking a break while the dining area remained in this condition and customers were clearing tables themselves. The food itself was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the condition of the dining area and lack of attention to cleanliness overshadowed the meal. I understand restaurants can get busy or be short staffed, but this was unacceptable.
