Best Seafood Restaurants in Boulder

We had heard of the Ocean Prime Chain but never tried it before. It was fantastic in all ways and we are already planning our return visit. Our wait staff was perfect with Joe leading the group. The lobster bisque was to die for and went over the top when we added a teaspoon of sherry to it. They need to put that sherry option on the menu for all to enjoy. We will be in Phoenix and Orlando in the coming months and plan to try those Ocean Prime locations when there. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Ocean Prime made it very special and memorable.

Ocean Prime serves my favorite drink- Black Orchid. It’s refreshing and it’s excellent every time, served to the top of the rim! Which makes the drink worthwhile because it does have a large ice cube. We started with Lobster bisque and a Wedge salad. We pride ourselves on searching for the ultimate wedge- we found it. This is one of the best Wedge salads we’ve ever had. We had the 10oz Filets with sautéed mushrooms and Brussel sprouts. All excellent. I love the ambiance as well.

I've gone to the Boulderado in all it's various forms with my family for Christmas. As a photographer the old architecture and classic features appeal to me (not to mention stained glass and a tall beautiful tree). My breakfast was simple: steel cut oats with fruit and cream. The quality of the ingredients and quantity I received was better than what I make at home. The server was very polite and had a good look for the place. He seemed very overwhelmed by how many tables he had. My family felt impatient with him, but considering how many tables he got slammed with he did great. I didn't give him a five, because he was too busy to fill every last demand we made of him. However, he listened well and got everything correct and efficiently. My mother arrived late, but they let us keep our reservation. My brother was disappointed with his waffles and coffee refills (the only things he cares about at a place). I happily ate the rest for him. We are all middle to lowest class, this is sort of a special thing we do once a year. So my mother and I felt uncomfortable with the snootiness of the other guests, but we are both sensitive creatives so maybe they weren't classists like we felt. Overall I was quite happy with it and felt like I was a bit aggressive in getting the waiter's attention.

Wonderful Christmas Eve dinner.!!! Great ambience with smaller dining rooms with fireplaces. Carol V was a wonderful server and food was exquisite steakhouse fare. Shrimp cocktail sauce was firery and reminiscent of St Elmo’s in Indianapolis.

This was our third year for the Feasr of the Seven Fishes (Christmas Eve). We love the tradition and the food, service and ambience were great. The only (small) negative was the music- techno club music was loud and not a great backdrop to a Christmas Eve meal. Everything else was fantastic!
