    Rabbit.  Looks better than it tasted.
    Yag P.

    Booked this for a monday evening for a business dinner. i really wanted to like this restaurant and there were several things that i did like, but the food was just OK from my perspective. Ambience - this isn't the best place for a business dinner. very quiet/romantic and i felt like our group was out of place there, but no one looked at us oddly. It felt more like we might have been interfering with their romantic vibe as we were talking business. The restaurant and staff present a very inviting atmosphere. Food, this is where i was disappointed. the Bread at the beginning was very good/ with salted butter. I ordered the salted radish appetizer and it honestly just felt like salted radishes on top of a puree that i didn't really care for. So would put this as a 5/10 in terms of rating. I got the rabbit, which was recommended as being the best entree option. i have never had rabbit previously and wanted to try it. I thought it was OK, but not very memorable. It did taste like dark meat chicken. however the chick peas they were served with were underdone (crunchy in texture) and simply not that good. Our dessert, blueberry Tres Leches, was the best of the 3. My dining companions had a variety of things (striped bass, meatballs), but no one was raving about their food. Service was quite nice. would give this more like a 3.5 out of 5, as the atmosphere and service were good. Sadly won't be returning.

    Family style vegetables

    What a disappointment - food wise. The concept -- a farm to table restaurant sourced from a local 500-acre farm with 430+ varietals is so appealing. However, the kitchen fails to deliver quality or good tasting meals, despite the well-sourced food. The menu is prix fixe. 2 appetizers and an entree, or 1 appetizer, entree and dessert. The salmon tartare was salty, too salty. The kefta balls were over salted as well. The onion tarte shell was so hard it could barely be chipped away to eat. When we mentioned this to our server, the response was we get more complaints about the tarte than any other appetizer. I was surprised to see that the appetizers were all served at the same time, so by the time, I ate the cold salmon, the warm kefta, besides being salty was also cool - might have been more appealing if warmer. The rabbit entree was dry, overcooked and tasteless. The accompanying garbanzo beans were undercooked, crunchy and too salty. The food highlight was the family style vegetables. Beets, onions, asparagus were alright; the sugar snap peas which still had strings were not as good. The dessert were disappointing as the rest of the meal. The macaron was brick hard, so hard, we had to ask for a fork and knife to chip hunks off of it. Tasteless. After we departed, my dinner companion said she wished we had sent the dessert back, it was so hard and inedible that we left most of it. Bramble & Hare has a few things going for it: Service was spot on, attentive, helpful and friendly. The wine list is very good. Ambience is pleasant and the dining room is quiet. I really wanted to like Bramble & Hare as the farm to table concept appeals, but with the poor food preparation, this is a tough restaurant to like.

    Peppermint mousse

    Solo diner review (10/31/2024). All treats and no tricks at dinner on this Halloween night! I arrived a little early to my 7pm reservation on Halloween night, but was welcomed immediately and very thoughtfully given some options about where I'd like to be seated. As a solo diner I always appreciate a table with a view and there was a 4-top they offered me with a lovely banquet seat that faced the open kitchen. Service was on point throughout the meal with a gifted glass of wine from the Som. The food was lovely and earthy and filling. I loved that they're recognized for being sustainable by Michelin and their menu reflected their commitment to local farming (veg and animal). As a visitor to Boulder it was nice to eat a meal that was truly local. I opted for the the Creamy Tomato Soup (hearty, thick and delicious with handmade croutons), the Tunis Lamb (delicious corn polenta and a welcome addition of the currants), and the Chocolate Peppermint Mousse which came in a delightful pyramid shape. I was not excited by the family style vegetables -- their texture was soggy and overly salty. I also really liked that for larger parties you could choose to get two appetizers or two desserts. This allowed people to share their dishes and try more items. Other diners have criticized the youth of the wait staff, and I will agree that most are too young to drink. However, I had a lovely time and felt my meal was well worth the $75 pre frix menu price.

    This was truly a special experience. Very eclectic but relaxed and fun atmosphere. Probably more private than most higher end restaurants so the quiet was nice. They do farm to table so everything comes from their farm or from a local farm including the distilled spirits! The menu is small and you select your preference from appetizer to dessert . The food was outstanding- very, very fresh (photos). The presentation was just as special. The service was very good - Tyler- very friendly and engaging and a wealth of knowledge about food/wine from an extensive chef background. But everyone was so friendly. I just have to say the values and philosophy of this business is so nice to see, hear and experience. Local, fresh, creative, fun, and delicious.

    I've only heard great things about Bramble and Hare and after going there for the first time yesterday, I can definitely say it lives up to the hype! When walking in you can see that the restaurant has an upscale vibe to it and has some great decor. The lighting is a little dim so it's a great spot for a date, but at the same time, it wouldn't feel weird to take your family or friends. The staff were amazing as well. Our waitress was very attentive and gave some great recommendations. When it comes to the menu, there's not a crazy amount of options, but honestly I think that's better because they can really focus on making the couple of dishes they have on there really well. The food is all farm to table so it's guaranteed fresh. My friend and I got their gnudi, pork belly, and foie gras as our appetizers and they were all super tasty. The pork belly literally melted in your mouth as you ate it and the foie gras had a perfect blend of rich, savory, and sweetness. For the entrees, we got their lamb and pork and both were so juicy and flavorful. You could taste the freshness (not gamey) of the meat which was awesome. The dessert was great as well! We got their key lime tart and it's one of the best I've had hands down. Overall great experience and I definitely recommend if you're feeling a little boujee.

    Chocolate dessert.  Gluten free
    Olga K.

    Outstanding food. Very unique atmosphere. Excellent service. There are so many different rooms to sit that create some romantic ambiance. I was lucky to sit facing the open kitchen, and I had a chance to observe the cooking process. It was a great experience. This is the restaurant to remember. Every calorie was in the right place. Moreover, they accommodate nicely gluten-free , dairy free needs for my friends. Highly recommend it.

    Salmon
    Reed O.

    This is one of the best meals I have had in my dining experience. The service, food, quantity, quality & value were superior esp for a Michelin star restaurant. I would eat here once a week if I lived in town. They went above & beyond to help our anniversary dinner feel special.

    Sunchoke appetizer (1/27/24)
    Alexa G.

    What a fun place for a special occasion! We went for my husband's birthday and everything was delicious! There aren't many options for the set menu but they do a good job considering different allergies and food preferences. The salmon was some of the best I've ever had! The service was a little slow but they ended up comping our drinks which was very nice. They also gave my husband a free glass of champagne for his birthday! It's a little pricey for a normal date night but great for a special treat!

    Pork entree with polenta and onions
    Nicola W.

    Lovely experience at Bramble & Hare. The food was all delicious and the farm fresh ingredients really stood out - so much was direct from their farm! We loved the charcuterie, gnudi, tomato soup and the pork. Excellent service in a cool atmosphere where some tables had couches. Great for a special night out.

    Ribeye - beef entree
    Scott Y.

    This restaurant has been on our list to visit for years, but the prix fixe menu may have kept us away. Well, don't let the menu stop you from dining there sooner rather than later! We went with friends from out of town and really enjoyed ourselves and the food. The ambiance, the mood and energy of our waiter, and the spirits in our beverages really helped set a relaxed and jovial tone to the evening. The drinks. This is a craft cocktail establishment and we enjoyed the available concoctions. The table's favorite (we sampled 4 of their custom creations) was the Linen Suit, a Scotch-based drink with fig and other magical ingredients. It's likely that their menu will change, so be adventurous! Apps: Our group tried the soup, beet salad, and fried green tomatoes. All were enjoyable, but to me, the tomatoes stood out for their unique preparation and favor. Mains: Almost all of us decided to get the beef entree (ribeye over polenta and vegetables) and the other ordered the rabbit. None of us were disappointed and no-one had any leftovers to take home. Desserts: I'll just speak for the Hazelnut Mousse that includes a flourless chocolate cake. It was so good! Overall Bramble & Hare provides good value for its prix fixe menu. It's now on our list of places for special occasions and special groups.

    pork belly

    We were seated in the original area; the space is comfortable and homey, as well as quiet enough to hear someone on the other side of the table. We haven't been for a while and the food was good. I had the pork belly appetizer, the arancini and the key lime pie (the mango along with lime flavor was perfect). The cook on the items was perfect. They gave us 2 different types of bread (raisin and sourdough); the raisin was a bit better than the sourdough. Note that I tasted some of the other dishes and they were also good; the strawberry dessert didn't have enough strawberry flavor and the banana bread overpowered it a bit. The rating for Bramble&Hare should probably be 4.5 in comparison to the 3 other restaurants where I have eaten of comparable rank in Boulder over the last 4 months. (I'd say that this would be due to service as opposed to the food.)

    Great space and team. Loved the drinks, first course and desserts. Mains of lamb and pork tasted like old shoes boiled for hours.

    Is this an okay place to bring an infant?

    Nope, not really. This is a more bar-like restaurant, not very big and the tables are close together. The menu isn't really kid friendly either.

    Sanitas is a SPOT in Boulder, for sure…read more It has a superb outdoor deck and patio with a mountain view (double bonus). It makes their already crisp and refreshing beer go down extra smoother (triple bonus). To top that, there's a McDevitt Taco Supply slinging out bites (quadruple bonus). And... of course... thanks to their kind staff and cool vibe, dogs and babies are encouraged to come hang with their drinking parents (quintuple bonus). With all these bonuses, you gotta check it out ASAP! Or if you're me, you gotta go back AGAIN. :D

    Sanitas is a phenomenal brewery in Boulder boasting one of the most impressive outdoor spaces in…read morethe area. They're doing so many things right here. It's become one of my favorite breweries to visit! It's one of the places that has such a large outdoor beer garden that it really doesn't matter if the beer is good or not. Turns out they make very good beer! I actually appreciate that they don't go overboard naming their beers. Most of them are named after their style/flavor i.e. Saison, IPA, Passion Fruit Sour. On my last visit the Hazy IPA was calling my name with 70 degree afternoon temps, and it was a patio pounder. Think the usual suspects when it comes to hops, fruity aromatics and flavor profile. With a lower IBU and sitting at 5.8%, it was the ideal beer on a sunny day. So much so that I had a few! Two fantastic bonuses here are the coffee and food programs. As soon as you walk in they have Bona Coffee Roasters, a fully functional coffee bar serving excellent coffee until 3pm most days. Outside you'll find McDevitt Taco Supply that has a great reputation in Boulder and Denver. And the long lines are a testament to their tasty tacos. One of the best places in Boulder to grab a beer. Bring a big group with you because they have the space to accommodate just about everyone. Sanitas, don't change a thing!
