Best restaurants near me in Golden, CO

Really had a nice evening at this restaurant. The service was good. Our waitress had a great sense of humor and took care of us with a smile. We had a quiet corner table and were able to have a discussion without yelling at one another. The whole scene is rather laid-back and easy-going. One might expect that in golden. The food was pretty good, yes, I’ve had better, but I’ve also had a lot worse.L I recommend it 

We had a wonderful holiday tea at Babe's Tea Room. We have done holiday tea every year for 13 years at various places in Boulder and Babe's absolutely blows them all away. Starting with the tea room itself -- we were seated on a very comfortable couch and chair, since it was only two of us, with decent room on the table for all the tea and treats, but we also had a side table that came in very handy to put things on (tea tables can get crowded with all the "stuff"). The tea menu is outstanding -- so many to choose from and you can have as many pots as you like so if you don't care for what you order, no problem. Get something different! They also offer a great menu of delicious cocktails. The food was outstanding! Everything was fresh and soft and so delicious. The sandwiches -- chicken curry, roasted turkey, cheddar with apple, and cucumber were so good. The scones were excellent (scones are usually dry and meh, but these had the perfect balance of soft and firm) and they were very tasty, especially the cinnamon chip. The sweet treats were also delicious and perfectly balanced (not too sweet). Our server was wonderful too. So friendly, so knowledgeable, so attentive. This really was the best afternoon/holiday tea we have had in a really long time. I know we'll be going to Babe's throughout the year and not just limiting ourselves to the holidays. It's that good!

Lovely location and ambience with friendly staff. My wife and I both had pasta dishes and both were meh. Chicken Parmesan and Spaghetti with Meatballs both tasted as if the sauce could have come from a jar and the meatballs were plain, none of it had any special flavoring, somewhat disappointing. Our companion enjoyed her meal and has been here several times before and enjoyed her entrees, perhaps other choices would be better. We'll be back to try different dishes, it's a lovely place.

Fantastic meal! I had the street corn relleno and it was the best I’ve had in CO. Light & super tasty! Service was excellent and no pressure to leave. Plus, it was quiet! Especially helpful with a hearing impairment 😊!!

We have been going to the Rose for years. Fantastic indoor bar area with a retractable roof. Great cocktails and beer selection. Staff is friendly and usually quick. Food is good. It’s mostly bar food, but what else would you want at a bar.
