We stopped in The Kitchen for lunch and loved it. The food was fresh, wonderfully prepared, and the service was delightful. I highly recommend this restaurant.

4/5 - The atmosphere carries - Dining with party of four, personally I had the scallops with fresno chili and kale, and sampled the gnocchi and fried cauliflower. Seated in the upper level, in a booth near the bar.Atmosphere is 5/5, both the walls and decor spoke of opulence; it felt fancy and high class, and set the guest up for what to expect from the food, in effect, the atmosphere primes the guest for what is to come. Coming up the stairs to the upper level had a nice compression/expansion effect, and the seating was secluded yet open enough to see some of the restaurant, allowing the guest to absorb what the designer wants you to feel.Ambiance was nice; music was fairly low-key but played at a good volume, lighting was dialed down but artfully placed so as to expose the more present features of the restaurant such as the bar.Service is 3/5; My party was small and we did not order very much, and so at times it felt like the servers prioritized tables where there were more guests. Accordingly, service was sparse, and we were waited on once to order, once to serve, and once for the check. Notably we were not checked on to see if the food was ok or if we needed anything; we had to flag a waiter down to ask for some sides.Food is 4/5, for the dishes I sampled, every single one depended on butter, or otherwise lacked the depth of flavor I feel is necessary for the price.Gnocchi 5/5: Melt in your mouth texture, good cook on the pasta, was very rich and creamy.Scallops 4/5: Very buttery scallops, rich in flavor, though I found that there was no balance for the fresno chilis, as they were very sharply spicy, and there was nothing on the plate to balance it out, so they ended up overpowering the scallops. Otherwise, they were quite good.Fried Cauliflower 3/5: Fell flat for me in terms of seasoning, as it is served as a whole head of cauliflower, which means it is difficult to season the inside. The outer parts were crisp and well done, however the dish as a whole was not particularly cohesive.I felt that dish cohesiveness as well as menu organization could be improved upon, at times it felt like not very much thought had gone in to designing these elements. Ordering from the menu was confusing because portion sizes were not accurately reflected in cost nor in separation; everything is in one big list.Would dine again.. though perhaps ordering different items.Kid-friendliness: Were willing to accomodate, though not as much as other places. Definitely a sit down fancy restaurant, not too geared towards those under age 12.Wheelchair accessibility: Limited; there are stairs leading to the upper dining, though they may accommodate you in the downstairs area

I was there for lunch with my husband out of town guests. The food was incredible. Most enjoyable dining experience I’ve had in Boulder in a long time. I had the chicken breast on pita, (Greekish dish). The flavors were amazing. The bread was grilled perfectly. The fries were hot and very fresh and tasty. The shared carrot appetizer with pistachio creamy dip was delicious. Everyone had a different dish and we were all pleased. Great impression for my guests. That says a lot. I eat out wayyyy too often. Not enjoying it anymore because most places are mediocre at best. Good job Kitchen. Thanks for a great dining experience. Can’t wait to come back. Superb!!!

It has been our “must” stop for 4 years every time we came to visit our son in college. So it was our first choice to come here to celebrate our son’s graduation. When I called to book the table, turned out everything was already booked, but the manager and a hostess named Olivia went out of their way to move things around and found us a table!!! I’m so grateful! The food is consistently good, the service is always superb, amazing wine selection and really good drinks! We are looking forward to our farewell dinner where we will say good bye to Boulder (for now).

Get the carrots! Best carrots you will ever eat!!!!
The kitchen.. more like the cafeteria. My food was bland lacked flavor. When addressed to the server no apology but an attitude for something that was not my fault. I won’t be back unfortunately.
suprises me every time with how good the food is and the service is nice

The food was INCREDIBLE. We ordered the garlic fries, lobster roll, and Denver steak and everything was perfect. Our server was Jasper who was awesome! Very fast and very friendly service. It’s a bit pricey, but for the quality, atmosphere, and service, it is VERY much worth it. 11/10, would recommend.
