Service here is amazing and prices are very reasonable for what you get. The food is at a very high level but I thought some dishes, especially the grilled salmon, were a little over salted. The Salmon is great though, very different from the "traditional " way it's served in so many other places. The dessert apple pie was good, but below expectations after everything we had was way above expectations. I feel like this is a hidden gem! There are so many things on the menu I still want to try.

The parm wings although "freshly made" were somewhat hard and the chicken meat was quite woody. The butcher block seemed like all the meat had been sitting around. The ribs were very dry, the chicken was somewhat hard and woody while the brisket was all one kind of one grey color and was somewhat mushy and very fatty... I just came from the Carolina's, and the Ozarks and Oklahoma eating BBQ the whole way... this night at West End was not good BBQ The rooftop view was nice but the food was unimpressive. 2 starz

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.

My favorite fine dining restaurant in all of Colorado. This place has some of the best food I've…read moreever had anywhere, I'm having my rehearsal dinner here because I love the food so much. They cook their steaks perfectly and have some of the funnest and tastiest sides I've ever had the pleasure to eat. Their roasted heirloom squash is never to be skipped over, it's my favorite vegetable dish that they sell, also do not skip over the Crispy pigs ears, or the tartar! The service there is outstanding and everyone that works there is super nice and professional, they are all masters of their crafts. I love the entire vibe of Blackbelly, they have well taken care of live plants everywhere, and it's very clean and tables are well spaced out. One of my favorite parts though is the dry age case! I love being sat near it (when others don't always) because I also work with food and appreciate how things are made. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I believe they've maintained a Michelin Green Star since they first received one.

I loved the big chandeliers and brick wall. Our server, Skylar, was fantastic. She was personable, welcoming, and enhanced the entire dining experience. My friend and I started with the churro donuts to share. These were the perfect sweet treat (because who can have brunch without something sweet for the table?) It comes with a dulce de leche and a coffee anglaise that was so delicious. For my main I went with the fireside eggs. This was exceptional! Flavourful shakshuka with perfectly poached eggs, avocado and feta served alongside naan bread. This meal was comforting and delicious without being overly filling. I can't recommend The Kitchen enough! If I'm ever back in Boulder I will definitely be back. I would love to try the lunch or dinner menu!

This was a pretty good meal unexpectedly after the BOLDERBoulder run last weekend!…read more We thought the area would be too packed to find a table, but surprisingly there were plenty of open seats at around noon on Memorial Day. There are only two tables on their patio that have an umbrella, so we were sitting in the sun at first and it was getting really hot (but then we were able to snag a shaded table when it freed up shortly after) All of the menu options sounded so good, we started with drinks, I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it had egg white in it and was so delicious. We ordered the burrata appetizer and all of our means at the same time. Unfortunately, the appetizer never came out, our server for that to put it in. I ended up going with the Bolognese and it was really good so was the steak frites and street cart chicken that my friends had. Their fries are pretty good. The server felt really bad for forgetting about our appetizer and offered us a free dessert instead, so we tried the churro donuts which were ok. I'm still it was a good meal and I would definitely come back if I'm in the Boulder area again soon

After a lovely day walking around Boulder, the Husband searched through Yelp and found Brasserie…read moreTen Ten as a nice option just a couple blocks off Pearle Street. We walked in without reservations on a Saturday evening and was lucky to have the option of dining inside or out. We were seated in the corner, which was fine except for the flies that would get trapped against the window and buzz right around us. There weren't really any other tables in the middle of the restaurant available, so we sucked it up. During the day, it was very brightly lit. But once the sun goes down, it doesn't become very dark. We were given menus by the hostess, but there was a slight delay with water service and what not. Eventually, our waiter did come by to talk a bit more about the menu. (I should note that the table was only set for a party of two and we were a party of four. So, it wasn't until our first dish arrived did they notice that we were missing tableware and plates for the rest of our party.) We mentioned that we'll be sharing a bunch of things, so this is what we ordered: The food came quickly and we did have to make room immediately. I do wish they would have paced it a bit better though. * Beet Salad $15 - They were kind enough to split this in two plates right off the get go. Since it's called a Beet Salad, I did expect a bit more beets than what was given. 3/5 * Roasted Bone Marrow $16 - This was a gorgeous presentation with three bone marrow halves topped with a little red trout roe. The accompanying buttered crusty bread was just wonderful. Although not everyone enjoyed the fig vinegar, I loved this dish! 5/5 * Fried Anchovy Stuffed Olives $12 - My mistake was seeing "fried anchovy", so I was surprised when the olives showed up. It was a lot of salt on salt. It was just okay for us and was the last thing on our table. 2/5 * House Pâté $18 - Another wow dish! The house pate was delicious! The Little Gal pretty much planted that in front of her so she could just focus on that. We did need to order more bread to enjoy all of the pate though. 5/5 * Tartare De Filet Mignon $20 - This was another favorite dish of ours and we ended up ordering another! Loved the red trout roe and crostini that came with it. 5/5 * Moules La Marinire 1 lb $27 - The mussels were so well cleaned and the sauce had so much flavor. It also came with a crusty piece of bread to soak up all that amazing sauce. 5/5 * Peach Cobbler - Before we ordered, I did ask if they had a dessert menu as I wanted to gauge how much food to get based on what desserts were available. Our waiter mentioned they had only two peach cobblers available and could put one on hold for us if we wanted it. And he did rattle off a few of their regular dessert items too. Since this peach cobbler seemed so exclusive, we did ask for that to be on hold for us. When it did arrive, I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't sweet enough for my preference. I'm not sure if it was because the peaches weren't sweet or there was a lack of sugar in the cobbler portion. 3/5 * Beignets $12 (to go) - As we were leaving, I asked one of the floor managers if they typically do something for birthdays and he confirmed that they do. He then asked if they had missed something, so I reluctantly told him that they did. The Husband did mention to the two waiters that we were celebrating a birthday, so he had told the staff. I thought that maybe because the peach cobbler took a bit longer, maybe it was forgotten. He apologized profusely and offered to send us with an order of beignets. We were pretty full and had a drive back, but he insisted and said it would only take a moment or so. So we agreed and I waited for it. The order came with 10 little freshly fried doughnut holes, lemon curd, raspberry gelee, and strawberries. We headed to the car and I enjoyed a few there. They were just okay though, nothing really special. 3/5 Overall, there were some really great highs and a couple of lows. I appreciated how the manager tried to make up for the error and did ask where we were seating, so I assume he could address it with the staff. We REALLY loved certain dishes and would return again for those. I would still rate this highly because we did have a generally good experience. 4.5 stars

Today, we just left and I've got stomachache. It is a terrible experience, doubt we will be back…read more We've been long-time customers, over many years and come often. We're celebrating my husband's birthday (like many others) but it was such horrible experience, we decided to leave, without ordering any dessert. I made reservation at 6 pm, with detailed instructions and spoke with restaurant, night prior to ensure they're able to accommodate my 86lb service dog. We're being brought to table, which she couldn't seem to figure out (I'm on oxygen, with a 6 ft hose) mother is holding onto my concentrator, as lady was leading us around restaurant, thru little spaces as I'm being dragged along. Then, attempted to seat us outside! I've never sat outside, especially because it's very hot out and presumed a/c would be on. Then, she led us back tables, trying to cram us into a tiny space and there's no way, we could fit 4 adults and my 86lb service dog. I picked a table close to where we sat last time, it's right in front of kitchen. The lady, conf'd my reservation over the phone and assured me, we'd get a large enough table to comfortably fit all of us. She finally seated us, with no menus...yep, there's a list of all the WRONGS and it's lengthy: we decide to skip appetizers, some of party came directly from work and we're hungry. The waitress is aware, she said, we're in right place. Ok, so we place our dinner order with our drinks order, except she forgot about my order (no biggie), but she brought my husband a Diet Coke and he ordered iced-tea. They, fixed his drink. Also, I ordered a simple salad, asked specifically for more tomatoes and she said, they can add more & asked to be halved with my husband. When salad came, it wasn't halved and had 2 cherry tomatoes that were halved. I didn't want to send it back, who knows when it will come back or if it will. Plus, I've never seen the Brasserie this empty, but managed to take them over 45 minutes (after 7 pm) before dinner is served. We couldn't understand, why would it take so long? Noticed, waitresses were bringing food back to kitchen, multiple times and my husband said, he saw waitress bring food back, she picked up each piece to show the cook. Next, we noticed menu is light on meat selection, with lots of fish options which is fine. So, we order multiple known Brasserie staples (steak & poulet) it is dry, with little to no taste. This has NEVER happened to us, when eating here and when it came time for dessert...food is already disappointing, we debate...we're probably going to wait lengthy time and be in the unbearable heat. I took leftovers home for my pup. We asked for our bill and left. I'm warm by nature, but others that are with me, can handle the heat and they're complaining it's HOT. It got so HOT, I was sweating profusely, wiping sweat off my face and by time we left, even my hair is wet! I've been here many times, especially in summer and never endured such discomfort. Sitting outside is cooler than it was inside the restaurant.
