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.

We have been dining at The Cork for more than 50 years. We have celebrated many milestones with family and friends. We had a lovely anniversary dinner and our server, Eloise, was delightful. Thank you.

The Boulder Cork always has the best food and service. I got the Filet Mignon medium rare with bernaise sauce, asparagus stalks, and lobster on top. It was awesome. My family of 7 enjoyed our experience very much.

We made reservations for Thanksgiving day, the food was awful!! We ordered the combo ham and turkey holiday dinner. The turkey was all dark meat and was hard and dry. The ham was mostly fat. We received a spoon full of potatoes if that, the biggest serving on the plate was a scoop of cranberry sauce. It was a really disappointing experience.

Comfortable, cozy, classic restaurant. I feel best for group of 1 to 8 to enjoy the atmosphere. Classic food options for different tastes. Best happy hour nachos anywhere.

We decided to sit in the dining room for happy hour because the bar was too loud. I ordered the fish tacos and they were served with grilled sweet peppers, sides of black beans, chopped tomatoes, guacamole and a dab of sour cream. The soft tacos were separate on the plate and I made my own tacos. They were the best fish tacos I’ve ever eaten. My friend ordered the salmon off the regular menu and she raved. Gary our server was beyond - we had wonderful service. Oh, and don’t forget to order a lemon drop - yummm.
