It was too noisy to hear my partner. The dishes were shared. All the main and side dishes were crowded on the l table for two, so there was utterly no room. The food was good, except the soup was over seasoned.Most of the Thanksgiving dinner were carbs and vegetables and relatively little turkey. Given that, the cost of $100 per person was ridiculous. The wait staff were very nice and the service was quick and gracious. However the overall experience was unpleasant.

This is our favorite dining spot in Boulder. We especially love the first floor bar & upstairs lounge. The service is excellent & ambiance very upscale speakeasy. Our servers/hostess the two Graces, Siera & Kenna were really fabulous. Only downside is a bit too much salt in the selections we ordered but the overall experience is festive & lovely!

Really great food and service. A service charge appeared on the bill however. This should be built into the price on the menu and not a surprise at the end of the meal.

The restaurant is a short walk from 11th and Spruce parking. We were seated next to the door and it was chilly. Restaurant staff would keep the door open for some reason to make things worse. Food was okay. The cauliflower was over fried and was bitter, mussels, oysters and cod was just okay. Coming to the steaks, Denver steak was good and Kansas City strip steak was okay. Overall felt a bit pricey for what they had to offer. Paid $400 for a party of 4 (two adults and 2 children).

Really enjoyable vibe at this restaurant. The simple design with exposed brick created a warm atmosphere. Service was outstanding. We enjoyed most of the dishes. Great shrimp, crispy cauliflower, carrots. The gnocchetti were a little too rich. But great drinks and overall excellent experience.

I love the Kitchen and have loved it since it opened years and years ago. Hadn’t been for lunch in a while, so decided to go on a whim. Glad I did. Will be back!
