    I loved this place so much. The place is very cute and interesting. The decor ranges from French, to old Chinese currency, and a New Orleans poster. The menu has an eclectic array of foods, some Italian and some Latin. Loved the Salvadoran choices. We tried the mushroom crepes, the Salvadoran shrimp and chicken marsala . The mushroom crepes were delicious. The fondue sauce was amazing and the mushrooms were so savory. The Salvadoran shrimp has a delicious sauce with rice and salad. The rice is flavorful, maybe enhanced with chicken broth and salad was perfectly cut (no big salad pieces). The chicken marsala was our favorite. We enjoyed the taste of the sauce, the texture of the chicken and the combo with the risotto. Loved it! Service was great.

    I'd say this is the best meal we've had in Boulder. Restaurant was almost empty and no idea why. The food is delicious.

    Stopped in for dinner before a show at the Fox theater. What a gem! The menu is full of intriguing options, selection was difficult. We decided to split a grilled Caesar and then had the pork chops and the lamb burger. All the food was outstanding and super delicious. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Boulder.

    We are from out of town and when we arrived in Boulder, I wanted to get some solid American food. I searched on yelp and found Ado's Kitchen. I'm SO glad we ate here. The food is AMAZING! we got their Fried Brussels sprouts, Prime rib sandwich, and Carbonara. Their Carbonara was one of the most DELICIOUS Carbonara dishes I've ever had. The way they cooked it was amazing and the pasta itself was just spectacular. They were in the middle of a food photoshoot when we arrived and the owner was very kind and gave us an extra meat dish with mashed potatoes and green beans for free from the photoshoot. I'm so glad we came here to eat. The prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious!

    Chicken Marsala was delicious!

We were greeted by a great hostess with an excellent sense of humor. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 at a round table that still had plenty of elbow room for all of us. Our server, Michelle, greeted us right away and provided recommendations on their coffee and drinks. She was energetic and fun - we loved her genuine interaction with us! The food came fairly quickly considering they were nearly full. I chose the cinnamon roll French toast (chef's kiss!!) and hubby had the basic breakfast. We shared our meals so we could each have something sweet and savory. My niece had the Heartland Skillet and said it was to die for! I don't think there was much on the menu where you could go wrong. And bonus - they offer a breakfast cocktail for 99 cents with an entree order. You can get up to 3. This is an excellent choice for brunch (service and food!) and we will return next time we are in Boulder!

    Sorry in advance for the lack of photos. That often happens when I'm starving!…read more We are from out of town and this looked like a fun hole in the wall. It was busy when we walked in and all the tables were full and then we were offered outside seating which we didn't know they offered. They have three tables outside and it was nice in the sun. The menu has a nice selection of typical breakfast options. They also have burgers as I saw one walk by on its way to another table. Service was good even though we were outside. Chicken fried steak - 8/10 - this was one of the better ones that I have had. The hash brown potatoes were crispy and delicious and the sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly . Oatmeal - 6/10 - hard to have amazing oatmeal, it was fine Pancakes - 7.5/10 - these were light and airy, yummy, and huge (they were the size of the plate) This is a great place to frequent.

I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town visiting my cousins!

    Overall: Food is excellent in terms of quality and flavors.

I mean, seriously, how do they make the food so good across the board?! Drinks: It is a cafe and good cafe drinks they have whether it's a matcha, chai latte, mocha, latte, or orange juice. Service: Excellent. They check in without being annoying even when it's super busy. The staff I've encountered notice nonverbal details when you need something. Space: Limited seats, so it can get packed with a wait. Indoor and outdoor options. Outdoors can be nice in the morning during summers under the umbrella - otherwise, can get really hot in sunny spots by afternoon. Cost: $$. Not cheap but not expensive. You do get what you pay for as the food is really tasty.
