   The meal was amazing and our waiter Tanner very engaging and fun. The only reason for not scoring five is the noise level. We were at a two person table and had to lean in over the food to talk.

   We enjoyed everything about our dinner and experience at the kitchen. The family style ordering was great because it allowed us to try a lot of different things. Everything from the roasted carrots to the crispy cod to the Denver steak were all amazing! We will definitely go back when visiting Boulder next time!

   Good food, creative dishes, great ambiance. Solid but not exceptional as a brunch experience.

   They have great recipes but the kitchen staff over seasons!! Way too salty/spicy! Less is more.

   The Thanksgiving dinner was truly excellent. Served family style for our party of 4, which conjured a feeling of a cozy dinner at home. The service was prompt and attentive. Absolutely delicious from appetizer to dessert.

   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.

   The Thanksgiving dishes were good except the Autumn pot pie was dry and not very interesting. The pumpkin terrine was very good. No serving pieces were brought to the table with the family style dishes — we could have used several large spoons.

    We have dined here for thanksgiving before and it was lovely. This year was disappointing, falsely advertised, and rushed. - the food we were served was not the menu advertised. The root vegetable pot pie was just turnips, the mashed potatoes drowned in oil, no gravy served, the vegetarian stuffing wasn't brought as I was told it wasn't vegetarian. It was cold and also we weren't given time to finish our first course before it was rushed out to the table and the first course was taken. - we were not brought utensils or cups multiple times and had to ask multiple people for these - service was abominable It neither felt celebratory, worth the value, or welcoming/relaxing. Sad because I have loved this place in the past however- it's seemingly gotten too cool for school
