Generally we love this place. Classy, upscale, quiet enough to chat but still lively. This visit was the exception however. For $114 for two (no alcohol) we received apathetic service, nothing really new on the menu, and a couple dishes were only to a few bites of. See pics - the elote ravioli just was not good. Garnished with crunchy corn like corn nuts. The added duck was dry and boring. We didn't actively complain but i did think it was weird when they picked up two barely touched plates and i declined a to go box no one even asked why or if i didn't like it. It was a Thursday night but for a place that is double (or more) the price of others around we really expect a different level of service and food. Yeah we will go again. There are limited upscale places Longmont and they usually do better read more

Warm service, good wine list with reasonably priced options from diverse region. Carrots and cauliflower a surprisingly delicious appetizer. Potato croquettes delicious, good entry options and baklava a stand-out dessert. read more

Went there for a special occasion there to celebrate my brother's bday. Seemed everyone BUT the server was aware of that. We ordered oysters, roasted beet and chèvre pans cotta salad, sea bass, verlasso salmon and rack of lamb. The oysters were fine with a nice accompaniments to add to their flavor. Sadly when they brought out the main courses, we discovered he did not place the salad order, which was disappointing. The two fish entrees were good. The rack of lamb was also tasty with the exception of the excess butter Nothing special was done at dessert to help us celebrate the birthday boy. Disappointing! Wine and cocktail selection was good Noise level was moderate Overall a nice dinner and I probably would give this restaurant a second try. If I am looking for a spot for a special occasion, I'd have second thoughts. read more

My sister and I enjoyed dinner with our parents, and everything about the experience was wonderful. The food was exceptional--fresh, vibrant, savory, and truly mouthwatering, with perfectly paired flavors. The staff was attentive and welcoming, and the cozy, comfortable atmosphere made the evening even more enjoyable. read more

We just had our second visit to Sugarbeet because we were so impressed the first time, we invited friends along for the next round. We got bread that is some of the best bread I've ever eaten and I had my first experience eating oysters (which in CO eating seafood is just a bit nerve wracking) but I was most pleasantly surprised and I would eat them again!! They also went well with my drink the Pear Martini. I ordered the rack of lamb - superb! It was amazing! Melts in your mouth and is savory and just a celebration of flavor! My husband got the filet mignon and it was perfectly cooked (medium rare) and an ample portion. The accompaniments were earthy and good. The service is some of the best you will find in the metro area - super friendly and spot on! This restaurant is a hidden gem, a treasure and a bit of a surprise. Don't miss this wonderful dining experience. read more

I'd give this place a 3.5 stars. Loved the ambiance. Its very cozy and dim light setting makes it a great date night spot. Sizzling shrimp was a great appetizer. Love the paprika infused oil. Generous portions and decent size shrimp. I do wish they'd remove the tail though. The Roasted Pappardelle was delicious. It was fried nicely (crispy outside, soft inside) and the roasted zucchini was a nice touch. The rack of lamb unfortunately was a disappointment. Ordered medium rare and came out rare. It was super chewy. The waitress did send it back to bring it closer to medium rare, but I think it was just microwaved (plate came back hot). Appreciate the thought though. For 45$ I expected the rack of lamb to be better. Primarily the reason why i give it a 3.5 stars. Lastly we did get the Chocolate Truffle cake. That was not too sweet and the cake was the right amount of richness for me. Nice end to the meal. read more

Shocking how good this place is. Food was, gotta say it, upscale in a thoroughly GREAT way, prices moderate for Michelin-ish fare. Hosted in by Ari, Italian owner, who responded with broad knowledge about the beet industry in late 1800's Colorado, likely responsible politically for keeping Cuba with its cane sugar out as a state. And then the superb cocktails, wonderful risotto with crisped marinated duck, oh my, au table. Waitress explained how people who work there stay for years and years. Ambiance just right-not a hint of stuffy, but warm, even sincere. We're out of towners. Daughter lives here. We'll be back. read more

Disappointed by the Filet - Great Server, Poor Management Response I came in really looking forward to a filet, but unfortunately, it was overcooked well beyond what I ordered. I asked for medium, but what I received was more like medium-well to well-done, with a strong burnt taste. As someone who regularly orders filets at restaurants, this was really disappointing. In my opinion, if the chef on duty isn't comfortable preparing a filet properly, it might be best not to offer it that night. Quality should come before availability. That said, our server was fantastic--very professional and quick to address the issue. No complaints there. The problem came when the front-of-house manager got involved. I Googled a reference image I almost showed him to show how streaks should look at the proper temp, but instead of acknowledging the problem, he told me it had been temp-checked as soon as it came out and was "medium." That explanation didn't sit well with me. Steaks continue to cook after being pulled off the heat, and his lack of understanding only made the situation more frustrating. Honestly, had the server just handled it on his own, this review would have been much more positive. By the time the situation was sorted out, I was too irritated to enjoy the meal. read more

Great food in a nice atmosphere. And locals must know about it, because the restaurant was full on a Tuesday night, lucky I had a reservation. My friends and I all loved our food, and we had a very pleasant dinner! read more

This was my favorite restaurant for a long time and I've recently come back to it. It has the best happy hour and service in Boulder County. As many have substituted service for pretension, it has stayed Coloradan. And the food is a great value without the "I'm a James Beard Finalist" rudeness. Plan to visit more often. read more

This place is fantastic. Really nice ambiance and decor. We tried it for restaurant week in Longmont on a whim and glad we found it Pricing is very reasonable and the entrees are well proportioned The service is really something you don't always see. Everyone was delightful and pleasant and worked nicely together. Devin at the bar is knowledgeable and made some interesting drinks Our group had the steak, the pork chop and the Artic Char - all were delicious and had a very fancy presentation to the plate The best was the desert. The apple tart is probably the best desert I've had in ages. They make their own caramel ice cream and the tart was doughy and puffy. The whole apple was baked and carved up nicely There was a good after dinner port menu as well. I highly recommend you try this place read more

This place came recommended and I'm passing this recommendation on. We shared the beet salad with goat panna cotta and New England clam chowder. The salad was excellent and I could have eaten a bowl of the beets. Chowder had good texture but there was a heat kick to it which I wasn't a fan of. Dinner for me was tuna seared perfectly with green beans and rice. The rice had kimchi in it which again wasn't a fan of that. Husband had the pork special with butternut squash and it was excellent. Dessert was a deconstructed apple tart and was excellent. Service was impeccable Highly recommend if you are looking for a great dining experience Not a large seating capacity so recommend a reservation. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our table was in the front of the restaurant which didn't have as many people. Would like to try the back seating area next. Our wait staff was excellent t. Attentive but not intrusive. read more

Sugarbeet - Apple tart for dessert. So good. - New American Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Sugarbeet is our go-to restaurant for special occasions or entertaining out of town guests. The waitstaff are THE BEST. When was the last time you went to a restaurant where they knew how to appropriately time courses without having dishes come out at random times or all at once? Or actually bring new silver wear between courses instead of "ohh do you mind holding onto your (used) fork"? At Sugarbeet, none of that would ever happen. They're fantastic. The food is also amazing. They don't have an extensive menu because everything is super fresh. They occasionally switch up the offerings. For holidays, you can make a reservation for one of their special prix fix menus - ALWAYS a treat. Their cocktails and dessert are great too, although I rarely have room for dessert! The atmosphere is refined, but also comfortable so you don't feel out of place whether you're wearing business casual or jeans. Make a reservation or go early as they do fill up! read more

First time at Sugarbeet. The ambiance was lovely. Food was great. Service was great. Highly recommended!

If 6 stars were an option, I'd give them 6! wonderful food, service, and ambiance. The low lighting is reminiscent of upscale high end restaurants in NY and Chicago. Unlike the many cafeteria lit style restaurants in Colorado, this place is so cozy and wonderful. The menu has something for everyone and we've never been disappointed. Highly recommend read more

We ended up at Sugarbeet unplanned, as we were in Longmont on an errand. Even though we were seated at a high top, in the bar, and near the front door, it was not noisy and very comfortable. The food and service were excellent. Wines by the glass are very reasonably priced. The sea bass and tuna special were both delicious. We would 100% go back to Sugarbeet when we are in the area. read more

Sugar Beet is one of our favorite restaurants - ever. The ambiance is perfect for a special occasion or just a Saturday night dinner with friends. The fresh made daily sourdough bread is the best you will have - served with soft butter before your meal and perfect with the daily selection of oysters. The pork chop is my favorite and my husband loves the rotating fish dishes. The servers and bartenders (here's looking at you Jessica and Devon) provide excellent service!! All staff are passionate and knowledgeable about the food and wine menus. Ari (the owner) has done a fantastic job of curating fine food and great people to create a great experience. read more

Best place for fine dining in Longmont. The owner, Ari answered the phone when I called about seating availability and he said come down, you can wear anything when I asked about jeans! I described the wine that I wanted. It's summer and It's hot, so cold and bright. He made the perfect recommendation. And it complimented the menu so well. This will be our go to spot in Longmont. Outstanding! The ramen was a little over cooked, but otherwise a perfect meal. read more

Amazing meal! We splurged on filet mignon and rack of lamb for our anniversary- everything was fantastic. Highly recommend!!

This was a great find during our stay in Longmont. My wife and I absolutely loved it. The service was top notch from the moment we walked in the door. Kevin the bartender made great drinks and was helpful with the menu as well. Jessica was an amazing server, made the experience top notch. Had post dinner drinks at the bar because it was such a great spot. The food was out of this world good. Gnudi - light and fluffy. Elk Porterhouse special was a treat and the Bistro Steak was also amazing. The Chocolate Cake for dessert you have to get - it's hard to describe how good it was. read more

Luckily, The Sugar Beet is a neighborhood restaurant. My honey and I literally cross the railroad tracks and bam we're there! Both times we have gone, the food is wonderful and so very tasty. This is where I had a "never have I never" moment and tasted and fell in love with Oysters! YUM! The second time having them, I ate half a dozen! The restaurant is right on a curve of Boston Ave. Across the way from Boot Strap. Plenty of parking. Not during COVID, they offer both inside and patio dining. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. When I eat here, I feel like I belong to the higher society. Must try! read more

Visiting family that live in Fort Collins and Arvada, so we needed a place that was sort of halfway. That was the whole reason we chose this restaurant. Wow, what a choice! It was amazing. The food was incredible, presentation wonderful, and the staff so very attentive. It was getting busy as we were wrapping up, but we didn't feel rushed. Nice environment with good noise control, very comfortable setting for conversation. I can't wait until we visit again and meet up here. read more

This restaurant is hands down the best one my wife and I have been to in Colorado since we moved here 7 years ago. The menu is simple and broad at the same time. We had the shrimp appetizer and the peppery oil it was bathed in was just the right amount of zip. The sourdough bread was perfect, chewy as it should be with a fabulous crust. Our food was so flavorful we could not stop talking about it. My wife had mahi mahi and I had the pork chop. My pepper sauce on the side was incredible. For desert the apple tarte was epic. We will be back! Oh, and our server Dale was top-notch. read more

This is how I want to feel after leaving a restaurant. The food was amazing the service was wonderful. Don't hesitate to go to this place!

First time to dine at this restaurant and already planning to go back in 2023. The service was very friendly and helpful. The shrimp appetizer was delicious and fresh. I had the rack of lamb and my wife had the Filet mignon. Both meals were exactly the medium rare temp and tender. Overall the wine, meal and service were excellent and exactly what we were looking for in our dining experience. Going to watch the menu for their seasonal changes to see what delights are next. read more

We sat at the bar because there was a pretty loud party in the main dining room. So glad we did b/c we had the BEST time talking to the bartender. The service was truly unbeatable and the ambiance was awesome. We didn't fall in love with either of our entrees but we'll go back in a heartbeat and sit in those exact two same seats. Can't wait for our next date night! read more

If Sugarbeet is representative of what Longmont has to offer in terms of casual yet romantic restaurants, then we will be spending A LOT more time up here. Sugarbeet is in an industrial part of Longmont and located quirkily right near an underpass. There's outdoor seating, which could make for an interesting ambiance when the weather is appropriate for al fresco dining. For our date this month, though, my husband and I decided to stay warm and cozy indoors. The decor is done in muted tones and has sort of an old-school Italian American restaurant feel to it, though the cuisine is strictly New American. Everything on the menu looked so good, so we had a pretty hard time narrowing things down and deciding. As a result, both my date and I ordered our own appetizers, our own entrees, and split a dessert. By that point, we had to roll ourselves out of there. When we come back next time, we'd probably just share an appetizer before getting our own mains and also sharing a dessert. This isn't because we're dainty eaters. No, this is because the portion size is well-matched to the price point. My appetizer was the shrimp bisque with coconut milk, which was a special and something I'd highly recommend if you're lucky enough that it's also a special when you visit. My date ordered the halloumi, which was exactly what you would expected grilled, gooey, salty cheese to be. My entree was the seared scallops with polenta cakes and Chinese broccoli, which was all perfectly cooked. My date ordered the gnocchi with pork cheeks--great choice! The only bummer of the meal were the beignets. They were beautifully presented with vanilla, chocolate, and cherry sauces. They were just a lot more eggy and heavy than the fluffy light pillows of dough that I prefer beignets to be. Overall, this is definitely one of Longmont's hidden gems and we're so glad we know about it. read more

'Changing menu offering a delicious array of new options in addition to nightly specials. Definitely "gourmet"! The wait staff is always gracious and knowledgeable. They don't mind explaining some of the "chef-technical" features of each dish. (Almost?) everything is produced in their kitchen. For example, when I asked what the kitchen does with the rest of the carcass of the wonderful and extraordinary roasted duck breast I ordered for my entrée, I was pleased to learn that the legs are used for duck confit, the fat is rendered for use in other dishes, and the rest is used for stock. I like knowing that nothing goes to waste. It's a calm, friendly place that is respectful of your privacy and everything is thoughtfully done. The owner, Ari (born in Israel), is gracious and available to everyone throughout the evening and full of interesting information. The food has always been amazing and adventureous, with explanations and terms that even an advanced palate might find interesting and new to them. I highly recommend Sugarbeet to those who appreciate and seek out flavors that satisfy more than home cooking, fast food and chain restaurants. read more
