    We went on New Year’s Eve and were very disappointed. Sure, the place is cute and the service was good, but the food is just mediocre considering the price. We got the baked scallop special, which was just 4 colorless scallops on a bed of mashed potatoes and 2 mini carrots. Was it horrible, no. But it was mediocre… There’s a reason you sear scallops and don’t just cook them in the oven with zero seasoning. The Forage Board was fine, a couple of meats and cheeses, but the old soggy blueberries on the board were so unnecessary. The burger was too salty and the fries were undercooked. My wife and I love to splurge on nice meals but we definitely held back from ordering more food since we were so unimpressed. This is our second time here and we won’t be back. Oh and not to mention they sat us in this big tent they built in the back of the restaurant, which was no more than about 60 degrees inside. My wife and I were so cold we asked to move us inside, which they happily accommodated. I get they’re trying to maximize their space but don’t jam people into a freezing tent to make a few extra bucks.

    Came up to Boulder for a night away and booked River and Woods on a whim. Best, happy accident, because everything was great. Good food, even better service!

    Food and cocktails are consistently good at River and Woods. Wish they would have had more unique options on the New Year’s Eve menu.

    Food here is delicious, presentation is attractive, decor is cozy, service is friendly and efficient.  The menu seemed a bit underwhelming to me at first with relatively few choices that I thought I would like, but everything I tasted was fantastic, so I got some culinary and gustatory education.
