One of the best local, fine dining experiences I've had. Last night, my wife and I visited for our wedding anniversary. The staff made us feel special and like they were invested in our celebration. They toasted us with champagne and decorated our desserts with happy anniversary messaging. Above and beyond customer service. Food was exceptional all night during every course. Highly recommend ??

Very nice, luxurious with a mountain farm flare restaurant on Pearl St. Food is amazing. Staff is on point with their service. Definitely a place for your special occasions.
I have to admit I have been a huge fan of the Black Cat for years but the farm dinners raise it up to another level. The food is fantastic as always, but now you are in an amazing location with wonderful views and it just makes the whole experience magic and in the days of Covid you are also kept a good distance from other diners. Value is always hard to quantify when it comes to a restaurant but for the price of admission, we got a welcome drink a welcome dish of olives and beans and bread.

This review is also to mention them again because today, with all Boulder dine in restaurants closed currently for the pandemic, my friend surprised me with a superb 3 course lunch to go (at a fraction for what it really should cost). This take-out simply has to be the best quality food you can buy to go in Boulder. My lamb shank, arancini, and chocolate torte were all exactly what I wanted, served on our dining room table for a fraction of dine in. We will absolutely do this again, much sooner than later. Thanks guys!

This is a must-go-to place. We were a party of 7 celebrating a private wedding dinner. We had the sunset view of the mountains and farm. You hear of farm to table in many places, here the table is in the farm. Don't miss it. For $80 we were served multiple courses with bread that was milled on premises. The kitchen is attached to what looks like an old tool shed giving the place a rustic look. Each dish was as great as the previous one. The one miss is their high priced wine list. (and I know and love wine) We had a OK sparkling rose to make a toast but it was not worth $72. Their varieties of various micro brews were spot on with fair prices. Service was flawless and caring. We will put this on the list to go back to when visiting family.

One of my fondest experiences. I chose the wine pairing with courses. I don't let many pair for me but their wine director do so and he was wonderful. An expert comes out and explains every course. Even the owner comes out and explains the farm-to-table entre. This place is one hell of a good ride. Go there and bring a wallet full of hundreds. It will be worth it.

One of the best food and alcohol experiences I've had. The green chili was outstanding. The cocktails were exquisite, I love being surprised, and I love that I ordered the bartenders choice, was asked my preferences and got an incredibly crafted drink. Then I asked for an entirely different flavor profile and got a delicious surprise.The vegetables were truly fresh and impeccably prepared. The meats were perfectly seasoned and flavorful.Among the finest dining I've had in Colorado.

Bramble & Hare Review - NOT Black CatI made my birthday dinner reservations and let them know dinner was to celebrate a birthday. I started with the sautéed peppers and aioli. The peppers were dripping in oil but I was really hungry and worked my way through them, a mistake. My wife had the Summer squash soup which she commented tasted like zucchini soup which need some seasoning and salt. Not a good start. Entry's were the Pan-Seared Salmon Akmolinka, Spaghetti Squash, Leaks, Asparagus, and Beurre Blanc. The spaghetti squash was close to mush, leak were over cooked until gray and both were oily. Salmon was perfect, go figure. On the side of the plate were cold tomatoes. How does that fit? Dinner outside of the Salmon was terrible. We took desert home and it was pretty good, no t brilliant. Not a word about a birthday. So lack of attention to detail. All in all my birthday dinner was a train wreak. We enjoyed a bottle of wine and the Salmon for $250.00. I can shop Whole Food and cook it myself for $50.00. We will not be going back anytime soon. We have had good meals there before but this was a disaster and expensive. Cannot recommend, 2 Stars is a gift.

We love it here for a wonderful date night. The staff is wonderful and attentive. The food was delicious, and the wine pairings were delightful.
What a wonderful experience we had there. Their wine Director is excellent. The food is out of this world, farm to table. They explain every course so you understand how it’s made and what it consists of. They teach as they serve. The manager comes out to your table on the main course and explains that. This place is rather expensive. I wish I could go more often. This is a fantastic restaurant that truly deserves five stars in a bigger way than Google can offer.

I had high expectations for this restaurant and was disappointed with the food. The salad greens were wilted and the meat was undercooked. Not worth the cost. The service was pretty good, but we won't be returning soon.
