    Blueberry beignets
    Winter B.

    This is a beautiful restaraunt in the limelight hotel. They had a nice brunch menu but the food wasn't anything outstanding. My family liked the beignets. The food did take about 45 minutes to come but it was the Sunday after graduation. It is pricy. Maybe the dinner menu is better. Overall though, great ambiance here and the hotel is very nice.

    We stayed at Limelight Boulder and wanted an easy breakfast - Ajax exceeded expectations! Our server Samantha was awesome, very attentive. I got the omelette and fluffy pancake - both delicious. My husband got the yogurt parfait and Rueben - also very good. They serve mimosas and yummy coffee, wish I got more pictures of the food but it was a great and a beautiful restaurant!

    So freaking good! Went for lunch yesterday. Literally…read moreeverything my husband and I tried was delicious. We started with the puffs- bursting with flavor and beautiful presentation- so creative. Then had the lobster rolls - perfection. And a cubano sandwich. Service was attentive and fast. Atmosphere was nice inside- pretty lights, not too crowded or loud. Will definitely be back - loved the flavorful creative twists on food.

There are only two tables on their patio that have an umbrella, so we were sitting in the sun at first and it was getting really hot (but then we were able to snag a shaded table when it freed up shortly after) All of the menu options sounded so good, we started with drinks, I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it had egg white in it and was so delicious. We ordered the burrata appetizer and all of our means at the same time. Unfortunately, the appetizer never came out, our server for that to put it in. I ended up going with the Bolognese and it was really good so was the steak frites and street cart chicken that my friends had. Their fries are pretty good. The server felt really bad for forgetting about our appetizer and offered us a free dessert instead, so we tried the churro donuts which were ok. I'm still it was a good meal and I would definitely come back if I'm in the Boulder area again soon

We ordered couple different drinks and shared a jalapeño cornbread skillet as a snack. My Spa Day (a elderflower flavored gin based cocktail) was delicious, refreshing and not too sweet. The tiny flower garnish added a nice touch. The cornbread was decent (3/5). It was moist, but fell apart easily and difficult to take out of the skillet. It also tasted like it's from a pre-made mix. Overall a nice spot to hang out in the Pearl St. area. Maybe I'll try some other food here too.

The Philly was super greasy and the cheese was on the side. There was so much gristle and fat it was hard to eat. The bun was also super crunchy instead of crispy and light. The chicken was also terrible. It was a little thinly sliced chicken breast, that maybe got pounded out too thin and then fried. It needed a lot more seasoning- the sweet pickle slices were also contrasting to the honey mustard- it just left a literal bad taste in my mouth- lastly, the fries I recieved were soft, cold, and unsalted. We were only in CO for a week and this was the worst thing we ate.

River and…read moreWoods has that very specific cozy Boulder atmosphere that somehow feels both rustic and intimate without trying too hard. The whole space feels warm and relaxed in a way that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Food was genuinely very good across the board and the service struck that perfect balance of being attentive without constantly interrupting the table or hovering over conversations. I'd especially recommend it for small groups or date nights because it manages to feel social without getting overwhelmingly loud. Parking is mostly street parking, but we didn't have too much trouble finding a spot nearby.

I think the best thing about River and Woods is the interior and exterior decoration. It is very clear that a lot of thought and time was put into the atmosphere here. From the cute door knocker to the bathroom wallpaper, the theme is well-executed. The food was a bit disappointing. The blue oyster mushroom appetizer was extremely salty. I thought it was just me but the rest of the table agreed as well. My trout was well-cooked and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The chicken was also salty although cooked well. I did not try the burger but I was told it was salty as well. The prices of all the items were quite high for what I thought was presented. Service was good and thankfully our waters were filled frequently for how much water we were drinking due to the high salt content.

Very European-equse with all of its character... Original brick work, wooden beams, big ol' ceilings, arched doorways, etc. Didn't get a chance to peak in the back but heard it's something to return for. Instead, we sat near the front at one of the long, communal wooden tables nears. Service was speedy and friendly. I went for the watermelon marg and it literally came with a big ol' watermelon as a garnish. Super refreshing overall. Beir is more their main attraction though, so no doubt that's to be enjoyed. Here's to returning next time I'm in town to try the food menu too.

We came back a few weeks later and brought a friend from out of town who liked beer and was visiting Boulder. We enjoyed the patio and was happy to order from the happy hour menu. We enjoyed the atmosphere and seeing all the people walking around. There's also a really large room in the back that would serve private parties or large groups very well. The owner decorates the restaurant himself and it feels personal to his Czech heritage. We ordered the fried pierogies which were delicious. The spicy sauce was so yummy that I kept it to finish with my meal. I ordered the pork Jager schnitzel with spaezle. I liked the crispy schnitzel but I might ask for the gravy sauce on the side next time. The Honey Bite goes down easy and is delicious. Location is great. Parking was paid on the street and convenient to the restaurant. We had the same servers, nice young woman but I can't remember her name now. Very friendly and helpful. We like recommending this place to friends and will be back when visiting Boulder.

    I'll be dreaming about Blackbelly dinner until I get to have it again…read more We didn't have a reservation and were able to sneak in as a walk-in after only a short wait. The service was amazing and the entire staff was so knowledgeable about the menu. Every time they would bring us something, they explained each ingredient and the person that made it. I've heard they have amazing breakfast burritos at the Market so I'll need to come see for myself sometime soon. Would totally recommend and will be bringing out of town visitors here to show off.

The drinks were definitely expensive, but we were happy to pay for a quality experience at an upscale restaurant. We ordered multiple appetizers, had several drinks, sat at the bar for quite a while, and honestly about to leave thinking this was a place we would probably come back to. That changed the second the bill arrived. Buried into the check was a 7% "kitchen surcharge." In other words, the restaurant decided to pass along kitchen payroll costs directly onto the customer without being upfront about it. If you're not paying close attention, you could easily end up tipping on top of that surcharge as well, essentially paying an extra hidden fee without realizing it. At a restaurant positioning itself as upscale and classy, this came across as incredibly tacky and cheap. Pay your staff properly and price your menu accordingly instead of sneaking surprise fees onto the bill at the very end. That's not hospitality. That's the kind of nickel and diming people expect from budget airlines, not a supposedly high end dining experience. It completely ruined what had otherwise been a nice night. We were seriously considering coming back before this happened. Now we won't return.
