    If you're looking for one of the most romantic dinner spots in Colorado, it's hard to beat Flagstaff House in Boulder. - Perched high above the city, the views are absolutely breathtaking. - The food? Elegant, seasonal, and consistently fantastic. Beautiful plating matches the setting. - Service is as impeccable as the setting. They are always on point here. Including the sommelier, who is not only super knowledgeable but also a wonderful storyteller. Perfect for anniversaries, celebrations, or just because. We took my mom here for her birthday when my parents were in town, and it was perfect!

    Beautiful views and cozy environment. We had drinks at the bar with charcuterie board and a cheese board. Food was delicious. Bloody Mary was tasty. Sat by a fireplace on a rainy evening. My coat was checked into a closet that warmed. Valet parking and reservations are two of my favorite things. Our server was fabulous. Cleanest public bathroom I have ever visited. This is a classy place. We took some pictures from the deck when the rain cleared. Just an awesome experience.

    This dinner was an incredible experience! My boyfriend had treated us to this dinner as a belated Christmas gift and it did not disappoint! The service was impeccable and all the staff was very polite and attentive. The food was creative and incredibly delicious! The meal was sprinkled with lots of little surprises and "tastings" throughout which added a very nice touch to the overall experience! We were seated by a window at sunset and the view was post card worthy. Looking forward to going back someday!

    I love Flagstaff House. Exceptional professional friendly staff. The cuisine is delicious and beautifully served. The setting is magical. Perfect for a special evening, birthday or just a wonderful treat. I have been to Flagstaff House many times and enjoyed it. Highly recommend Flagstaff House. The staff is very attentive. This morning, I was commenting that whoever hires the staff is doing a superb job. Seriously, every one is perfect. I also appreciated the fact that we were not rushed. The five course dining experience was very enjoyable. In addition, the portions are perfect. Not too small or too large so we could enjoy every serving. Thanks to the chef for the beautiful servings - very creative. I look forward to returning. It is expensive but worth it!

    We went to Flagstaff House for my son's college graduation, so it was a very special occasion for our family. That said, for the price, I expected the details to be handled more smoothly. I had requested champagne on the table for a toast and had to remind them. They were also supposed to have my son's name printed on each menu, but that was forgotten. The explanation given was that we arrived early, although we were only about 15-20 minutes early and had planned to sit in the bar first. I also later realized that while the five-course prix fixe menu was $185 per person, there were supplemental charges for certain menu items. The wagyu had a $42 upcharge per plate, and the quail had a $12 upcharge. I understand those charges may have been listed in small print on the menu, but my focus that evening was on my son's graduation and our family celebration -- not on studying supplemental pricing. I only noticed the extra charges later when reviewing the receipt and then looking back at the menu. For a group celebration at this price point, I wish those additional costs had been made clearer upfront. The food was creative and visually interesting, but overall it was more adventurous than enjoyable for my personal taste. The courses were small, and several had a gamey flavor that did not appeal to me. Several courses were barely touched by others in our party as well, both men and women, so it was not just my personal preference. At night, the location should offer a beautiful view overlooking Boulder, but the glare from inside the restaurant made it difficult to actually see much out the windows. I can appreciate the artistry behind the menu and the beautiful location, but for such an expensive and meaningful celebration, I expected the food, service details, pricing clarity, and overall experience to feel more polished.

    Flagstaff House Restaurant An iconic Boulder experience -- timeless, refined, unforgettable Dining at Flagstaff House is more than a meal--it's an experience that defines fine dining in Boulder. Perched above the city, the views alone set the stage, but what truly elevates Flagstaff is the consistency, grace, and attention to detail that carries through every part of the evening. The service is exceptional--polished without being pretentious, attentive without ever feeling intrusive. From the moment you're seated, the staff guides the evening with confidence and warmth, whether it's pacing courses perfectly or offering thoughtful wine recommendations. The wine program is outstanding and clearly a point of pride. Each pour is deliberate and elegant, with a deep cellar that caters equally to seasoned collectors and curious enthusiasts. Wine here isn't an accessory--it's an integral part of the experience. The food is refined and beautifully executed, balancing classic technique with modern touches. Each course feels intentional, showcasing high-quality ingredients and restraint rather than excess. Nothing is rushed; the evening unfolds at exactly the right pace. Flagstaff House is a place for special occasions, celebrations, and moments worth remembering. It delivers the kind of quiet excellence that only comes from decades of doing things the right way. A true Boulder institution--and one that continues to set the standard.

    My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at The Flagstaff House, and the entire evening was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the service and attention to detail were truly next level--even down to personalized menus congratulating us on our anniversary. We chose the signature 4-course experience, and every dish was absolutely outstanding. As a thoughtful touch, we were even sent home with cranberry bread to enjoy the next morning. The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about both the dishes and the drinks, making the experience seamless and special. If you're considering visiting for the first time, like we were, it's 100% worth it. This is the kind of romantic dining experience you simply won't find anywhere else!

    Single diner review (10/29/2024). I had high expectations for this restaurant on a recent holiday to Boulder and have some mixed feelings about my experience -- let me walk you through them. The food was interesting. As a solo diner I went with the Chef's Tasting Menu as it was the best way to taste as many dishes as possible. I also went for the zero proof pairing (as I had just flown in from DC that morning and didn't want all the alcohol). The highlight of the menu was definitely the Matsutake Dashi (black cod, rabbit sausage, bok choy) which incorporated bitter, umami, salty, and sweet flavors all on one plate. I also really enjoyed the amuse bouche of parmesean cracker with caviar and creme fraiche. I also really enjoyed the zero proof pairing -- all of the drinks were exquisitely prepared and showed a creative and varied approach to beverages. A disappointment was the Magret de Canard with a minuscule serving of duck and overly crusty apple dumplings. The biggest issue of the evening was pacing. I had a reservation for 7pm and my first course was served at 7:42pm (I checked the time stamp on my pictures). This was not because I was indecisive. I had a plan. I had reviewed the menu ahead of time. This was just the pacing of the staff. The other issue was the temperature of the room. I was FREEZING! I was seated in the back of the restaurant on a platform with one other table. The table below me had a space heater next to them. When I mentioned the temp,my waitress suggested I put on my coat. That's a bit disappointing for what is supposedly a fine dining experience. It has a great view of Boulder, but I wouldn't trust them with a special event dinner based on my service. Also, unless there are ramps and elevators I didn't see, this place is not easily accessible for people with mobility challenges. Be prepared for a 3+ hour dinner that should take more like two and plates that are more tastes than courses.

    The service was impeccable! Everyone was very friendly and relaxed, despite the elegance of the establishment. The tasting menu was just the right size. The tuna Crudo stood out as one of my favorites with strawberry, pink peppercorn and balsamic. This was paired with a sparkling wine from Kent England which was surprisingly unique, delicious and perfectly paired with the tuna. I also particularly enjoyed the salmon course which was charred perfectly in order to appreciate the crispy skin and the black garlic. The next two courses of meat were very satisfying, with the lamb being my favorite, however who can go wrong with moral mushrooms aside the pork roulade. And they were not shy with the morel mushrooms. I also want to highlight the last wine we tasted which was a sparkling rose from France and absolutely wonderful in its light sweetness and perfect effervescence. Great place for a special birthday!

    Near perfect score thwarted by grains of rice. Obviously the view is spectacular. Arriving for an early dinner, we were able to see the city of Boulder transition into nighttime with a near full-mooning as backdrop. Gorgeous. The service from start to finish was impeccable, which is what you expect from a restaurant like this. Waters always filled, clean napkins, foods presented in unison with staff knowledgeable about each meal and ingredient. Our meals and drinks were delicious, with one medium-sized exception, which I'll get to in a minute. The five of us decided to go with the four course dinner. Each dish was presented beautifully, each offered a progression of flavors that was well suited for the meal as a whole. My favorite was the lobster with risotto. Oftentimes this dish can be too heavy and dense, but all the ingredients were proportioned in such a way that the dish was light and flavorful. My main dish was where I met disappointment. I ordered the A5 Wagyu supplement, which came with sticky rice and lightly dusted with furikake. The Asian bent of the dish really intrigued me and I was looking forward to experiencing the flavoring of the meat "bleeding over" to the rice. Sigh. That mark was missed, by yards. The dish was beautifully presented. There was a ring of the medium rare wagyu atop a ring of rice dusted with the furikake. The rice however was cold and coarse, undercooked even. When rice is undercooked it's crumbly and chalky. That's what I experienced with every bite of the rice. I was hoping for warm, sticky, glutinous goodness but instead encountered something entirely unexpected and unwelcome. Again the meal here was fantastic. I really appreciated the rest of the meal and service. However, when you're paying $88 additional dollars for a Wagyu supplement, you should expect perfection.

They cook their steaks perfectly and have some of the funnest and tastiest sides I've ever had the pleasure to eat.

The service there is outstanding and everyone that works there is super nice and professional, they are all masters of their crafts. I love the entire vibe of Blackbelly, they have well taken care of live plants everywhere, and it's very clean and tables are well spaced out. One of my favorite parts though is the dry age case! I love being sat near it (when others don't always) because I also work with food and appreciate how things are made. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

I may be a decent baker, but salads are beyond me. This Market Salad is one of our favorites. Their dressing is unique and I've never had anything like it elsewhere. It is a maple vinaigrette though not really sweet, regardless of the name. It's more savory than sweet, but the touch of maple cannot be overlooked. The salad greens, tomatoes and quinoa add a great balance of textures. The "spring greens" this time of year has specialties I cannot duplicate in a grocery store as their greens come from local gardens where they have access. Besides these ready to eat items, for in house or take out, there are plenty of fresh meat options at the butcher counter and specialty prepared meat items like the lamb meatballs with Spanish seasonings, ready to cook and in the freezer case. I plan to try those soon.

It was spiced at what I'd call a medium level, and quite yummy. My friend then ordered their vegan chocolate pudding, which we shared. Yummy and light. My one big criticism is that they charge $4 for iced tea. I questioned it and the cashier was kind of snippy about it, but the customer behind me approached after I dispensed my tea and said she agreed it's too expensive. The meal was appropriately priced and there is plenty of food, but the drinks? C'mon. It's worth maybe $2.50. They really should reevaluate that. It's the main reason that I gave the place 4 stars instead of 5. The other people who work there were nice and helpful. I didn't grab a fork but the server who brought my bowl cheerfully went and got me a fork and napkin. Very nice. It's obviously popular, it filled up as we sat, with quite a variety of people, from babies to seniors. I might go back, but perhaps next time I'll just get water. I hope they don't charge for that!

Jungle has a nice selection of tropical appetizers, burgers, chicken tenders, fish tacos, etc. This was my first time eating here. We ordered the ceviche and nachos. Ceviche was very sweet due to the passion fruit (actually way too sweet) but I appreciated the execution of the shrimp, lime, and other ingredients. The nachos were solid with a white queso. A fancier/island take on a bar staple. Wouldn't run back for either personally, just my preference! We sat on the patio and service was prompt and friendly. I would like to sit inside one day, keep in mind close to half the seating is outside the actual bar. But on a beautiful night in Boulder, it's a great place to be. Definitely recommend Jungle. It's not one of those overly pretentious tiki bars. It has a nice neighborhood bar feel, albeit their talent behind the stick. Check them out!
