- AALvipSan Antonio •24 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoHard to find good food in Boulder after 9 p.m. Many places that post hours of service past 9 p.m. were closed when we arrived, which is annoying. Happily we found our way to The Corner Bar. It is perfect for late night drinks and food, and the food is quite varied and good. The tuna tataki salad was outstanding. We also tried the meatballs and polenta, which was quite good. Prices are not low, but not too high, either. The bar is off the lobby of the historic Hotel Boulderado, so it’s a nice bonus to see this gem of a hotel’s lobby as you walk in. Service was mostly good, but the waitress was often absent running around all over the place. Seems they might’ve been short staffed. Worth a look for the lovely bar inside the old hotel vibe, with good food in a central location.More infoCorner BarPrice: Moderate• American• Boulder•4.3
- KKateDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThis is our third time eating at Black Cat Farm and the experience is always lovely. We were greeted at their beautiful farm with flutes of champagne and hot apple cider in tea cups. There’s warm wood fire stoves running everywhere and it’s so beautiful. Food was stellar and we even got to chat with the chef at the end of the night. Highly suggest for a special evening!More infoBlack CatPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Boulder•4.6
- GGennyDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoA culinary adventure and exciting mystery at Flagstaff House! They helped make the birthday celebration very memorable for us and included a lovely personalized note and birthday wishes. The food was incredible and paired exceptionally well with the wine. There was even a crafty “blind wine tasting” that was thrilling to try to guess the wine. The four stars out of five was simply because there were a few items that we generally don’t eat on a regular basis that couldn’t be modified out of the chef’s tasting menu. However, It’s good to try new things and we loved the overall experience.More infoFlagstaff HousePrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Boulder•4.8
