    Alexis F.

    Came here with a party of eight for a work trip and was absolutely blown away with how amazing all the food was. Some of best and most unique Italian food I've had was from here. You can tell everything was freshly made, and had an abundance of thought that went into making each bite. The chefs greatly care for their craft. This was fine dining. There was so much detail put into every aspect of our meal. From the table that we sat at, to the cutlery we used, to the plates the food was on, to the wine that was paired with our steaks versus our pork chops.. I was blown away by it all. The waiter was extremely attentive and well informed on his menu he gave excellent recommendations. If I had to pick 2 stand out items we tried, the steak with olive oil drizzled on top and the large ravioli were incredible. I hope to be back if I'm ever in the area again.

    Hello Boulder County! Attention Please go visit! SERIOUSLY!…read more We had the pleasure of this Gem today. We did some yelping for a good restaurant and Farow showed up on the results. I do hope after this review and many more to follow, that it will quickly rise to the top of the list. What an amazing lunch experience we had today. My dining partner and I just arrived back in the US after some international travel so our clocks are a bit skewed and boy am I happy they are! We dropped by Farow for the New, early opening on Saturdays {now Tuesday-Saturdays} ( Also to our delight, we had the full menu! What?! What?!) What an amazing culinary journey today! Let me begin by giving Lisa the owner high praise. Her restaurant is superior! Her staff and chef are 5 stars! Located in Niwot Colorado, a particular fond location for myself, the restaurant boasted of modern elegant design. The outdoor patio was perfect for today. Our server, Ty, was absolutely phenomenal, highly recommend asking for him for your dinner dining experience. Ty was knowledgeable about the menu as well as wines so, do not hesitate to ask any questions, he welcomes all of them! Thank you Ty you WILL see us again! The menu is designed for ALL ingredients coming within 10 miles of the restaurant. A true farm to table experience! We began the menu with the chips and dip. Let me tell you, we are big fans in our household for the onion dip and chips. I mean Lipton soup mix with sour cream makes a killer dip option right? News Flash - nope - you HAVE to experience this onion dip and chip dish. This was FAR superior than anything we could've ever imagined.! ORDER!!! The dip was smooth, full of flavor and the caramelized onions were perfect balance of flavor with the crème fraiche, was so light, tasty and good. The homemade chips were outstanding! Next step, we went with small plates. My dining partner got the bean salad, very delicious & unique with snap peas, green beans, both white and green peas with a basil pesto. Delicious! I ordered the chard cabbage - Please do yourself a favor order and experience to enjoy this dish. You will not be disappointed.! We shared the duck and let me tell you, we were given a delightful treat! The duck was prepared at the chef recommended medium rare, and the duck confit balls were absolutely to die for! The cherry and sauce accompaniments were phenomenal, full of flavor and added the final elegant touch to this dish. My dining partner enjoyed some dessert with homemade ice cream. I recommend not passing up this opportunity. The chef has a wonderful palate and is full of experimental flavors and ideas! What a joy and delight to experience. If you're looking for a lower key, quiet lunch opportunity think about Farow! If you'd like a really good meal and a beautiful quiet location let me recommend Farow - Please just go here! Thank you Farow for a memorable and lovely meal! We look forward to seeing you again and enjoying another wonderful meal as well as tasting delicious dishes and enjoying absolutely beautiful Niwot Colorado!

My half of the table ended up ordering one of everything in the hot tapas section of the menu and two pitchers of sangria. The tomato crostini was so nice and crisp. The focaccia was toasted to perfection, the slow roasted tomatoes had a bright and rich flavor, and the olive oil drizzled on top pulled all the flavors together. The meatballs were incredibly flavorful. Everyone loved the croquettes, which were nice and fluffy inside. The baked goat cheese was incredibly creamy and the honey gave it a wonderful sweetness. It was delicious on top of the slices of baguette they were served alongside of. The champinones/mushrooms were just alright to me -- they had a dark, earthy flavor but I wish it had a more complex flavor profile. I felt similarly about the fried artichoke hearts. The lamb sausage was delicious and had a nice heat to them. We were also served bacon wrapped dates, but I found the dates to be too sticky and sweet. We also ordered every dessert - caramel flan, basque cheesecake, and chocolate cake. I found the caramel flan disappointing. I prefer my flan to be more solid, but this one was mostly cream that was melting on the dish once you dug into it. The cake was good and paired well with the ice cream and candied almonds it was served with. The basque cheesecake was also okay, but I think I enjoyed the apricots it was served with more than the actual cake. Overall, very beautiful restaurant with great tapas.

Adventures Decanted has a bit of a different take on wine tasting where it's a "choose your own" environment - perfect for a group with different preferences / tastes / amounts. They started us off with 1 curated wine, and then we were off to races. We each got a card with an amount we could spend to try different amounts of different wines. They had organic wine, women-owned wines, sweet wines, international wines, and more! Our group reserved a surprise for our bride to do a saber champagne pop, and the team was amazing putting together the surprise for her! They even filmed the whole thing with one of our phones to capture the moment. Some of the amazing staff that worked with us included: Zoey (our wonderful, very attentive waitress), Nina, Shelby (one of the owners), and JD (who helped video our bride and our group popping some champagne). It was great to see owners so involved with the customer experience and who really supports and uplifts their staff.
