    I used to work at the kitchen and the food was not as good as i remember. The carrots dish was slightly overcooked and mushy, the whipped feta was thin and runny and not enough urfa sauce. The black spaghetti also did not have enough sauce, was kind of flat flavor wise. And the sauce for the shrimp was flat. Not enough acid and pop to go with the nicely cooked shrimp. The lamb arayas were amazing, that whole dish slapped. Our server also didnt seem the very knowledgeable of the menu, descriptions of items, etc. but she was super kind and attentive. All the dishes came out super quick and hot. I love the kitchen but the food quality was a little underwhelming unfortunately

    The noise level was very high so wouldn’t recommend for hard of hearing or hoped for serious conversation. Max of 4 people for any real conversation.

    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!
