Impeccable service, terrific drinks, loved the excellent iceberg salad with blue cheese & bacon. But ... the beef skewers in anchovy sauce were KILLER hot spicy - burned my lips. Menu didn't warn me about this and neither did the waitress when I asked for a description. Just a heads up - pass on the skewers unless you're a masochist! Lovely decor. read more

First visit was amazing. Incredible food and drinks. Make sure you are hungry before you go. I was and still ended up stuffed after just the wedge salad. Had the onion rings which were great. Steak sauce was delicious. Crab cakes were amazing and the seafood stew was great. Old fashions were perfect. They have a lot of Manhattans available but I prefer old fashions. Next visit will be soon and I plan to do steak and the French onion soup. Quick update, we came back for a second visit and it was even better than the 1st.  I planned to have a wedge salad and a bowl of onion soup but the special was ribeye cap which my wife really wanted so I ordered a filet.  We also did the mashed potatoes and asparagus.  Everything was amazing!  I like my steak more well done and they did it medium well lightly pink but still juicy and delicious.  I got the steak sauce which is incredible.  Very complex flavor profile.  Cocktails were amazing again.  We actually had desert too and the Key Lime Pie was great. Looking forward to trip #3 where I will finally get that onion soup! Another quick update, back for our 3rd visit.  Once again another great meal and incredible drinks.  This is our new favorite place to eat in Boulder.  I still didn't get to try the onion soup but maybe on our 4th visit which will be shortly. Okay, we have been here more that a dozen times but I am going to give my most critical review ever. We just went here with my 19 year old son. He hates everything. We sat at the bar will waiting for our table and he started complaining. This continued after we were seated and ordered appetizers. He ordered the French onion soup, we went for the Caesar salad. My son has never had French onion soup. They brought the bread which my son acknowledged was "really good" after eating four pieces. He also loved the French onion soup. The Caesar was amazing as always. To my surprise my son ordered a steak (which he hates) with the truffle butter. We also ordered the mash potatoes and Mac and cheese. My son ate his entire steak, 3/4 of the Mac and cheese, and a little potatoes. I was shocked. He talked about how good everything was. We closed things out by sharing a piece of cheesecake which was amazing. It ended up being a great family dinning experience with great food, great service, and great conversation. My son said he would definitely go back! read more

We went back to celebrate our daughter's golden birthday - 25 on the 25th and what better way than to empty our bank account. Service from the hostess to sommelier is spot on. Kudos Steakhouse 316 The steaks were perfection - beautiful cuts, well seasoned and cooked as requested. You know when you got to a steakhouse, you will pay for everything and I mean everything - ok they did bring bread to the table at NC. The bread and butter were OK. We ordered the Tomato & Onion and the simple salad. They were bountiful and delish. Always a good sign when the salads are good and dressed properly. I do like they hold onto the old-style steakhouse traditions such as the tableside Caesar. There were 5 of us and we shared the Branding Iron Onion Rings and YUM. The Prime steaks are seriously worth my firstborn. Filet medium, Tomahawk Rib-Eye med (shared) and Porterhouse rare (shared). We shared Whipped Potatoes (they were ok), Miso Glaze Shishito Pepper, Haricots Verts, Egg (Sauce and egg was the best part - hard to eat), Wild Mushroom Parisian Gnocchi (not so good and would not order again). Although we were all eloquently sufficient, what is a party without dessert? It was a toss-up between chocolate something and bourbon bread pudding. We rolled the dice and picked the bread pudding. unfortunately, I would not order again. There was a lack of flavor and custard consistency. Bottom line - this place offers you three levels of dining with spectacular food, ambiance, and service. Next time I go for the fine dining: * Wine (we ordered 2 bottles) * Onion Rings * Salad * Steak Skip the sides and dessert. I promise you will be full and neither the sides nor the dessert was that fantastic. But definitely go! read more

Steakhouse No. 316 - Best Onion Rings - Steakhouses Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Visiting my son in Boulder and on a recommendation from a local, we were told to go to Steakhouse No. 316 We had hi hopes for a nice dinner. Our bar waiter was nice and that's where it ended. It took 25 minutes to get a cocktail and they could have cared less. Our Steaks were not cooked right and the grade of meat was poor. The waiter had to have the manager take over. I waited for my new steak for 20 min and by then my wife and son were finished. They did buy a round and apologized. Owners should have visited various steakhouses. We are from Chicago and have many great steakhouses. I would recommend they revisit how to make it a top restaurant. Decor was nice and music was good. Hope when we come into town next time it has improved. read more

My husband and I went here after I had read reviews about it and we wanted to try it out. It is very pricey, that is for sure. I felt like my steak and the sides were appropriately priced and the sides are large. Though my husband got Crab Legs. It was market price and it was 2 crab legs or 4. 2 for $50 and 4 for $90. He opted for 2. It was 1 crab leg cut in half....pretty lame. Probably won't go back but the steak and sides were tasty. read more

Great steak, awesome wine list and menu overall is outstanding. Very professional staff. Worth the price.

Came in because of a heavy thunderstorm and it was the closest place. Service was average. Steak a little tough. read more

Best meal Ive had in quite a while. Bone-on filet was incredible. Table side Caesar was awesome. All sides (truffle mac, mushrooms, fries) were fantastic. We had martinis and a few glasses of red, all the steakhouse standards which they knocked out of the park. Overall great and relatively affordable for the class of restaurant this is... perfect for a special occasion (we went for Valentines day!) read more

As the vegan daughter who is obligated to attend family dinners, I have to say this is the best steakhouse experience I've ever had. The menu says "inquire about our vegan options" and they really do mean that. Our server, Joe, was very accommodating and knowledgeable on what was vegan and what wasn't (i.e. the bread was vegan except the honey wheat, which, obviously, had honey). They had an excellent vegan entree, the halibut base which was mushroom risotto with extra veggies. The vegan risotto was different than my brother's non-vegan risotto so I know mine had no cheese in it. It was priced at $26 for the vegan entrée whereas the Halibut version was $46; I appreciated that they weren't the same price when mine was missing the most expensive ingredient. The dinner was delicious and the cashew mushroom glazed green beans was probably my favorite part. I think I can confidently say this is my favorite steakhouse I've been to as a vegan and by far the most accommodating. read more

entire staff so rude, tried to fight a paying customer. literally jumped him outside of the restaurant. food was good though. manager seems like he didn't get enough love as a child. read more

This review is entirely based on their customer service. I did not even get to taste their food. I placed an order with them on Grubhub. They didn't have the item I wanted and instead of calling me they called the Grubhub driver. I had ordered a striped Seabass which was $38. I asked for a substitution of Dover Sole which was $61 (but the only other white fish on the menu.) They were very rude to the GrubHub driver who was the one who was asking for the substitution on my behalf, based on the way GrubHub works. they are new to Grubhub. I would think they would want the business but apparently not. I order from GrubHub several times a week and I'm always looking for a new place to order from. It's not going to be steakhouse 316 even if their food is good. If they don't understand customer service first and foremost I am not going to give them my business. Period. read more

Got food poisoning from the French onion soup. My son was throwing up. We alerted the waiter of the problem and he said he would notify the manager. The manager never came. I told him I needed the bill immediately and we need to go. The bill came in full.... they didn't even remove the soup or apologize. Unbelievable I would completely stay away read more

Second time here. Little subpar compared to the first time , but I'll give them some slack for COVID. Great service. Decent steak. I had the cowboy ribeye. It was .. good. However. I knock them at least a half star for trying to Serve me a "butchers cut, which is the 'eye of the ribeye '". What they were trying to sell me was the eye of the ribeye , and cut off the rib meat to undoubtably sell as a "cap steak" on a different night. This is a trend in steak joints and it pisses me off. If you're gonna well a ribeye ... sell a ribeye. Like I said. I didn't fall for this scam, I had the true ribeye. It was average. Not as good as last time. But I'm disappointed in them trying to sell me something subpar for more money. read more

Perfection. Absolutely beautiful interior. The cocktails were top class. The food is also top echelon. The staff is really what sets it apart though. Ishmael the hostess was working her tail off but made you feel valued like you were the only people there. Colin our server was extremely attentive and very pleasant to converse with. This place will be a staple of our future visits to Boulder. read more

Probably the best steakhouse in Boulder? This was what I was told prior to going. The steak did not disappoint. In fact they did very well. I do strongly recommend the table-side cesar. It's exactly what it sounds like, and they used fine ingredients to really give the dish some hand- rafted character. read more

I can truly say this was one of the best meals I have ever had in Colorado. The caesar salad alone is worth going there for, but my filet with bernaise was to die for. The staff was incredible, and recommended some delicious wines as well. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the patrons sitting in the booth across from us who were dressed like they had just come from the pool. I'm not trying to be a snob, but when you are paying that much for dinner at a top-notch restaurant, that really takes away from the experience. A dress code should be enforced. read more

They made such a big deal out of our anniversary! Great food and amazing service. It has such an amazing ambiance that you will feel like you're in New York! I loved it read more

Steakhouse No. 316 - Steakhouses Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

The experience had the potential to be amazing, but it fell short in two areas. The service started really slow, it took them more than 30 minutes to bring bread and inquire whether we wanted appetizers. The second disappointment was in the steak itself. Two of us had the 8oz filet, the other had the bison steak. They were cooked correctly at medium rare however the seasoning was VERY heavy on the pepper. We were unsure if that was normal for their chef, but we didn't like it. By that time, more than two hours had passed with the salad course (we didn't have apps); we were worn down. We wanted to finish the meal and leave. It was about $560 for three of us, without tip. I expect better for that price. It was a Wednesday, and restaurant wasn't busy. We won't go back. read more

Wow! Phenomenal ambience -- you'd never know the building is the former Conor's! The food was incredible and our party of 8 left happy, buzzed, and full. read more

Alright... IF, you're in the mood, for LITERALLY, the best steak you've ever had in your life - OR just the best FOOD in general. Hit up Steakhouse No. 316. Oh my goodness. Seriously. I think probably the only other place you could get a steak this good, would be at the OTHER Steakhouse No. 316 in Aspen. I'm a private jet pilot, (how do you know someone is a pilot? They'll tell you) - so I get to travel around A LOT. And Craig Pearce, has created literally, the best atmosphere, and the best food, hands down of any place I've eaten at. I've been to steakhouses in WY, SD, KS, CA, ID, WA, NY, all over - but never had a steak so perfectly cooked, and with such a great compliment of toppings and sides as what is offered at 316. The crab cake appetizer was THE BEST crab cake I've ever had. Not lying. Fluffy, delicious and flavorful. The beer and cocktail selection was also excellent. My Belgian farm-ale was delicious, and my girlfriend had the SASSAFRASS - some kind of cocktail that was quite good. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the blue-cheese bone-marrow topping was splendid on our filets. The side of mushrooms was so good, and the lobster topping was amazing. We also had lobster mac-n-cheese, which was also delicious. Towards the end of our meal, the owner, Craig, even came over to say hello! He treated us to a couple complimentary drinks and was an absolute joy to be around. I honestly cannot recommend a better restaurant to go to in Boulder. The prices for happy hour are affordable, and for a fancy full dinner downtown - whether for a special occasion, or just to go out - Steakhouse No. 316 is the place to go. Cheers! read more

Steakhouse No. 316 NEVER disappoints. My go-to steak is the fillet.. done perfectly.. melt in your mouth perfection! Their table side ceasar salad is incredible! Onions crispy and not a hint of grease..onion soup is rich and thick and mouth watering. Staff is incredible..welcoming, informative and just-right attentive. I don't live in Boulder but I ALWAYS come here when I am in town.. best steak I have ever had. read more

Service was very disappointing and food was not that great. Our dinner was served before our appetizers. Lobster was not cooked and had to be sent back twice. read more

Had dinner here about 6 weeks ago. It was honestly one of the best steaks I've ever had and I've sampled some of the best houses in the country. COVID be damned the service was great and everyone's meal was rated top notch. We'll be back. read more

Heard good things about this place and we were keen to try what had been hyped up as a great steak place. I can only say - very disappointed. My daughters steak was very under cooked, and she asked for medium rare, it was almost blue! My steak was over cooked (med/rare also asked), to the point of being well done and very, very tough. My wife basically left half hers on the plate as it was a very uninspired effort. The cocktails were the best part and they were very good. I'd come back but only for cocktails at the bar. read more

Wife and I had a date night so we took a walk towards Pearl St and stumbled upon this place. We sat at the bar and we were almost greeted right away, along with some pleasant,more than icebreaker conversation. Our cocktails were made to perfection and the oysters along with crab cakes came out in a timely manner. Being from the east coast, and having my fair share of seafood I can confidently say that the Oysters were fresh and the crab cakes were without filler. Overall we enjoyed the ambiance and conversation with the bartender. We arrived slightly before the rush, so through time the bar got really noisy, but that's a minor complaint, it is a bar after all. read more

We had been recommended this restaurant. On the night we were there our service was very slow and rather aloof. Two hangar steaks were under cooked and a filet was over cooked. Underwhelming experience particularly for the price and expectations. read more

This is the same restaurant that is in Aspen, and I have only once had a properly cooked steak at that location. Typically very overcooked. We have friends that vacation in Aspen and they regularly insist on this restaurant. The food is always underwhelming. As far as the atmosphere goes, its a really nice feel and a great environment to relax and have a nice drink. For this location, its the same, sadly... We decided to give it a go since it is in our back yard now. Wont be coming back until our out of town friends insist on the Aspen location again. Its a shame when you can easily cook a better steak than one your paying $60 for... Seriously, sous vide and a quick sear on a red hot skillet is all you need to make a killer steak. That will always be better than what you get here. read more

An incredible restaurant. The food is amazing! I had east coast oysters to start with and an 8 Oz Filet with sherry mushroom ragout and my fiancé had Mussels and frites and a 32 Oz Cowboy steak with sautéed spinach. Of course he could not finish it all but it was the best steaks ever! Perfectly prepared and succulent. Our waiter was attentive and the service all together was wonderful. The restaurant is beautiful with great ambiance and wonderful music. A great gem for Boulder indeed. Steakhouse No. 316 is a must go! read more

Very disappointed about bartenders. Not attentive, very arrogant and no personality at all. We sat at the bar twice now, ordered full dinner and few cocktails and they treated us very poorly both times. Great restaurant like this should have much better service. read more

I think I've found my new favorite restaurant in Boulder. The food is world class, the ambiance unmatched and the team is truly incredible. I can't recommend No. 316 more sincerely. read more

A gorgeous, elegant, and timeless space with exceptional service and an absolutely perfectly-prepared filet. Cannot wait to go back for the Caesar salad, which is prepared table side (as it should be). There is a Mad Men vibe here that just felt right. Exceeded expectations. read more

We were celebrating a birthday and decided to try this steakhouse on a Saturday evening. Absolutely loved the decor, it was dark and sexy with velvet benches and old framed photos on the wall (despite the Andrew Jackson painting across the room). It felt like an modern yet antique steakhouse. After looking at the menu we decided that we'd sit up front instead and order from the bar/happy hour menu. The dinner menu items were really pricey for items that were not at all interesting or unique. It was typical steakhouse fair i.e. overpriced steaks, chicken, seafood, and boring salads, and sides. We ordered the truffle fries, wedge salad, french onion soup, oysters, crab cakes, and others in our group ordered the steak sandwich and steak and frites. The food was OK. Considering the decor and prices you'd think the food would be amazing but it was what you'd expect for this type of boring steakhouse food, nothing better, nothing less. I will not eat here again but this would be a really cool place to have a drink or two. read more

Absolute perfection. This place absolutely blew away the Chophouse where we ate last month. I had the bison 6oz filet as did my wife. Our son had the 8oz filet. Every bite was sublime. Juicy, tender and delicious meat. Cannot wait to return. read more

Wonderful!!! Not your grandparents steak house. It's pricey but well worth it for food, selection, ambiance and service. An old school steakhouse in a sense, but fresh and inviting for the 21st century. Had bison steak cooked medium (both unusual for me) that was delicious! Chose Chimichurri sauce which added to it. Started with the table side Caesar, again old school, but fresh and flavorful and delicious. If you want to be spoiled and eat some friggin good meat go there! I want to go back to try their seafood now read more

Food was good but for a restaurant to claim they are high end they need to train their service staff better. It took 3 times asking for a refill of lemonade. I asked for steak sauce twice and ended up never receiving. Also I cannot believe there is no valet parking. For the cost related to the overall experience, I will not be coming back. read more

This is the first time I have ever taken the time to write a review. I have been fortunate enough to eat at Steakhouses all over the world: I can say with confidence that Steakhouse 316 is the best one I have ever been to. Place is amazing- food is outstanding and the service is perfect. Consider myself luck to have found it. read more

Husband really wanted to try this place for awhile so we took our friends out for dinner to treat them. The ambiance was nice, service was fantastic, drinks were delicious. Problem? We now have really expensive ($500) food poisoning. read more

Went to Steakhouse last night for the first time. Food was AMAZING and we loved the service. We had Ben as our waiter, who was enthusiastic, personable, and great. He made our experience even better! Caesar Salad was the BEST we've ever had. Highly recommend!! read more

I'm such a fan of this place! Steak is my favorite food and I cook a mean one so I don't usually go out for it. But this place has me hooked. The cuts are extraordinary, yummy sides and as an added bonus, the tableside Caesar salad is the best I've ever had. Their wait staff and the manager are extremely knowledgeable and just downright cool. Fantastic place for a date or business dinner. read more

If meat is what you are craving, make a reservation. If getting all adulty and dressed up is what you are craving, make a reservation. If fine wine and fine dining is what you are craving, make a reservation. Gorgeous decor, perfectly, exquisitely cooked meats, and I mean the best lamb chops I have ever had, are your thang, make a reservation. You won't find better meats anywhere. I don't have the same love for their sides, honestly. I don't love the overly cheesed up everything or the weirdly prepared sides. Have found they could be better. Do love the wedge salad though. Having been raised on tableside prepared traditional caesar salad, I also found theirs a little wanting too.........can't put my finger on it......but, prefer the wedge. Desserts and cocktails also just a meh. But meat, yeah- they got that DOWN! read more
