About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Great for happy hour

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.

Fine there occasionally because of the exceptional food and ambience. Service felt rushed this time, maybe because of early hours and full house, but overall very satisfied.

Once they saw we had our daughter with us they put us in the very, very back of the restaurant. Average age of the diners was probably 70+ which is fine, but certainly felt like we were being tucked away. Had to grab our waiter several times vs being checked on. Just could have been a little better. Food was great.

We had a wonderful meal! The service was excellent and I was very impressed how speedily our food arrived. We were celebrating our friends Birthday. His girlfriend had called ahead and purchased a surprise Espresso Martini since she couldn’t be there. The bar was on it and had it out immediately for him - it made him very happy! We had a lovely evening!

50 years of going to the cork. Food is consistently good as is the service. Unfortunately as with all things the prices have increased tremendously but we’re still coming back. Thx for keeping it going and good luck in the future

The service was outstanding! We were greeted in a caring manner and our server was attentive and personable but not hovering. The trout was not very flavorful and the flatiron steak although tender and delicious was a small portion. Overall food was okay but not outstanding. Ambience is cozy and comforting.
