The Boulder Cork Restaurant has provided quality food and excellent service since 1969. The restaurant is now one of Colorado’s most renowned dining experiences. The casual, yet attentive atmosphere is the perfect place to spend a special evening, be it to relax with friends or entertain business associates. Our banquet facilities can accommodate large groups with the quiet proficiency and superior quality that has become the hallmark of The Boulder Cork. The food is an impressive display of creativity and variety, masterminded by the chef, Jim Smailer. Chef Smailer has created an enticing offering of steaks, prime rib, chicken, pasta, and fresh fish selections; all on the cutting edge of culinary delight. The food is as fresh as the market allows. The true epicurean will agree that our efforts are apparent to both the eyes and the palate, from the appetizer through the handmade desserts.

    Had a great meal with very good service. We were seated in the back room, which is quieter than the front. Excellent prime rib!

    Great food. Waiter was good after we got our drinks. He was a little rough around the edges at first because it took us a little bit to decide on our drinks. Then he messed up the drink order. Following that everything was perfect. Loved the location, the vibe, and the entire experience. Thank you

    I took my friend for her birthday dinner; it was very enjoyable. The food & ambience was very good. We ordered from the Happy Hour Menu and it had a nice selection of items.

    Excellent food. Prompt and efficient service. Wine per glass was too expensive so we bought a bottle of wine to share.

    I have eaten at The Cork since it opened. Always good food, great drinks, and fun atmosphere. Last night I ordered a medium rare prime rib. It had very little pink - defiinitely cooked medium. And my food was tepid, at best. My friend said his rice was cold. Disappointing. I'm hopeful it was just an "off" night for the chef.

    Lovely dinner with Mom. Special request for a quieter corner was taken into consideration with many thanks! We were well attended by Daniel! Dinners were hot and prepared as ordered (rare Prime Rib!). Thank you for such a pleasant evening!
