   Great venue and atmosphere. Wait staff was very good. Food was delicious. Only critic is that the food came out too quickly (yes I know, not usually something to nitpick about). We wanted to enjoy a nice leisurely dinner, savoring each dish but felt rushed when each dish came out before we were finished with the one on our table. I would definitely go back.

   This was my first time at The Kitchen in Boulder and it was just bad. I do not usually write reviews however I had to express my displeasure with this place. I ordered the Cubano, which was extremely dry, did not include ham, had no flavor and the fries were soggy. Two of us had empty glasses for over 20 minutes before our 2nd beer was delivered. Oh and the beer, $8.50 for a 10oz - 12oz glass, not even a pint :-( ..... Will not go back and will direct friends/family away from this establishment.

   We have previously loved dining at the Kitchen and usually considered it a first choice for bringing out of town friends. This time we ordered drinks and a bunch of small plates. Our drinks came out and then a few minutes later we were asked to leave because of what turned out to be a bomb threat. Yet they hurriedly asked us to please pay for the drinks and the one plate of food that had already arrived. Our drinks were only about half finished. They obviously cared more about settling up than our safety.

   None of the food was hot, even the coffee was cold. We had a party of seven. The service was slow, and it was super noisy. We won’t be back.
