   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

   If you can’t eat cilantro this is not the place to go.

   This is our favorite dining spot in Boulder. We especially love the first floor bar & upstairs lounge. The service is excellent & ambiance very upscale speakeasy. Our servers/hostess the two Graces, Siera & Kenna were really fabulous. Only downside is a bit too much salt in the selections we ordered but the overall experience is festive & lovely!

   Our first time back after many years. All was excellent. Every bite was savory and delicious. Now on our short list for Boulder.

    Really great food and service. A service charge appeared on the bill however. This should be built into the price on the menu and not a surprise at the end of the meal.
