Small restaurant in a strip mall trending older, local, and regulars for customer-base which is not dissimilar of other places in Gunbarrel. Space is broody and comfortable with friendly staff. Food and drinks were fine, nachos are about $1 a chip on happy hour which doesn’t seem too, too happy. Calamari was bad. Overall seemed like it could use a good revamp.

Even though they were down on the chef, the waiter and manager tried to make my stay as pleasant as possible, friendly and comfortable atmosphere and amazing food (perfect sear on my salmon).Spot on service - not too noisy, but definitely caring.

We ordered a very very fishy- inedibly fishy- saffron risotto, and a gnocchi dish that tasted ok but wasn't particularly attractive, looked sort of like a ladle of it had been upended into a bowl. Taste of the gnocchi was ok. The appetizer was very good.Overall not worth the price charged. Maybe other things on the menu are different. It seems like people like it.

App Nachos and Entree Chicken Parm were stellar. Big kudos to the Chef as well as Aunah for the spectacular service. A definite stop on all upcoming visits to Boulder.

The best of the best! You will always feel like home when entering this establishment! Leslie and Kevin are friendly and accommodating folks, and always look forward to seeing their welcoming faces!

Nice local restaurant. Consistently good food. Pleasant atmosphere and staff. The furnishings are dated and worn. Needs a good cleaning, carpet and a paint job... still I go there often. I recommend it for sure.

Not sure why this place would deserve anything above 2 stars and there's multiple seats with 'reserved' sign upon walking in, must be a manipulation tactic to look sought after. Must be the best thing in the neighborhood which is quite sad..... Food is JUST okay, nothing spectacular with very little flavor if any. Mixed drinks on their menu are down right horrible..... Ordered the Spicy Mexican Mule with supposed muddled orange and jalapeño it wasn't spicy at all and had no flavor and upon further inspection the orange slice and jalapeños were just thrown in there - NOT MUDDLED for flavor. - I exchanged the drink for the regular Moscow Mule but yet a mistake again, no mint leaves at all? You would never be able to make a Moscow Mule without mint leaves - this bartender is lazy af* and they are possibly too cheap to invest in proper ingredients. BEWARE when paying your bill as the suggested tip is the tip WITH THE TAX. Hate when places try and be sly to have you tip their waiters on the tax, very unethical. Waitress service was excellent though.

Great food and cocktails. Don't let the location or the ambiance fool you. The chef is punching way above his/her weight with respect to the facilities. I was just visiting Boulder when I went but I plan on v going to the restaurant on my next visit to Boulder.

Small and simple but good food prepared well. Every dish we’ve tried is good, but we love their burgers. They cook them well, they’re good sized and the fries are amazing - if you get takeout they cook your fries fresh once you arrive so you never have soggy fries. Really friendly staff and excellent service. If you’re coming on Friday night call ahead for a reservation as they fill up quickly! A local gem!

Great place to eat. The most friendly waitstaff in Boulder. Great food. Last time I was there our server Natalie(?) apologized for the wait and I don’t know why because it came out really fast and she checked on us frequently. She’s great we always seem to get her. Food is great as well, never was disappointed with my meal and have been there many times.

We were surprised to find this neighborhood gem tucked in an off-the-beaten-path, retail building.The interior is nothing special, but the service was excellent and the food and drinks were excellent.Parking was very easy and the restaurant is accessible, however, it was busy and very loud indoors. We ate at an outside table which was comfortable.We can see why the restaurant was so crowded, and has been in the neighborhood for over a decade, the food was great.
