    The noise level was very high so wouldn’t recommend for hard of hearing or hoped for serious conversation. Max of 4 people for any real conversation.

    The meal was amazing and our waiter Tanner very engaging and fun. The only reason for not scoring five is the noise level. We were at a two person table and had to lean in over the food to talk.

    We enjoyed everything about our dinner and experience at the kitchen. The family style ordering was great because it allowed us to try a lot of different things. Everything from the roasted carrots to the crispy cod to the Denver steak were all amazing! We will definitely go back when visiting Boulder next time!

    The Thanksgiving dinner was truly excellent. Served family style for our party of 4, which conjured a feeling of a cozy dinner at home. The service was prompt and attentive. Absolutely delicious from appetizer to dessert.
