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.

Once seated, a server took our drink order (no dedicated server... they all help out on every table plus share tips). The menu is still pretty consistent to how it was when I first stopped in at Mountain Sun 10-15 years ago, so I went with one of my favs - BLT and their fantastic skinny fries. My wife had a grilled cheese and chips. Something to note is Mountain Sun is CASH ONLY, so be prepared. There is an ATM in the back. Another note is Mountain Sun does offer vegan options, so if you are dining with a vegan (or vegetarian like I was), be sure to mention that, to ensure your food is not cross-contaminated with any meat products. My food was great, Mexican lager hit the spot, and my bill didn't break my wallet. For those of you in the know, Southern Sun and Vine Street Pub (in Denver) are affiliated. And for those of you who haven't made it to any of them, be sure to stop by the next time your in the area.

The interior is decorated with lots of wall art and hand written notes/names from visitors. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the Reuben and I thought it was delicious. The meat was moist and tender and the fries were crispy. I also liked the pickles that came on the side because it gave the plate a refreshing bite it needed. We also had the pleasure of interacting with the manager(?) and was kindly offered a comp dessert. We got the cookie with ice cream and everyone at that table thought it was delicious. It's a healthy portion that can easily feed 4 people. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to others.

Brittnee recommended this fab rosé that my friend and I both enjoyed (neither of us usually like rosé cause it's sweet but I was feeling in the mood for something pink cause it's summer weather!) It wasn't too sweet and pairs pretty well with everything. It's a bit pricey for college students ($50+) but would be a great treat for young professionals. If you buy a bottle, you can take it with you and there wasn't a corking fee We got the board as well as some skewers that aren't pictured (the standard comes as 1 chicken and 1 steak) I added an additional steak and it was the perfect meal after a long day of grass volleyball.

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.

For me, the flavors are more like a 3/5: the beef tasted a bit stronger than I'm used to, hate to use the word "gamey" but that's the best description I can use. The fries made in beef tallow also had a distinctive taste that wasn't necessarily bad but not my favorite. The only item that was a 1/5 for me was the shake, where I had to just say no and barely could have three tastes of it. The sweetness was just too unusual for me. However, I might just be used to more standard food (usually more into In n Out or Shake Shack or Good Times vibes) so I'm happy I tried this and encourage others to check it out for themselves!

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.

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.
