Best Seasonal Restaurants in Boulder

My birthday is Christmas Day so we celebrated here the day after. Our server was very nice. We both enjoyed the three course meal. We even received complementary bubbles from my birthday. Was a nice evening.

Food here is delicious, presentation is attractive, decor is cozy, service is friendly and efficient.  The menu seemed a bit underwhelming to me at first with relatively few choices that I thought I would like, but everything I tasted was fantastic, so I got some culinary and gustatory education.

I've gone to the Boulderado in all it's various forms with my family for Christmas. As a photographer the old architecture and classic features appeal to me (not to mention stained glass and a tall beautiful tree). My breakfast was simple: steel cut oats with fruit and cream. The quality of the ingredients and quantity I received was better than what I make at home. The server was very polite and had a good look for the place. He seemed very overwhelmed by how many tables he had. My family felt impatient with him, but considering how many tables he got slammed with he did great. I didn't give him a five, because he was too busy to fill every last demand we made of him. However, he listened well and got everything correct and efficiently. My mother arrived late, but they let us keep our reservation. My brother was disappointed with his waffles and coffee refills (the only things he cares about at a place). I happily ate the rest for him. We are all middle to lowest class, this is sort of a special thing we do once a year. So my mother and I felt uncomfortable with the snootiness of the other guests, but we are both sensitive creatives so maybe they weren't classists like we felt. Overall I was quite happy with it and felt like I was a bit aggressive in getting the waiter's attention.

This was our third year for the Feasr of the Seven Fishes (Christmas Eve). We love the tradition and the food, service and ambience were great. The only (small) negative was the music- techno club music was loud and not a great backdrop to a Christmas Eve meal. Everything else was fantastic!

Feast of 7 fishes for Christmas was unique and worth it
