 Mountain dining |
3371 Gold Lake Road Boulder, CO 80481 United States +1 303 459 3544 |
Very few places offer a romantic dining experience like Alice's Restaurant. Located 20 minutes from Boulder on the scenic Peak-to-Peak Highway, the drive alone can spark amore. Log cabin walls, hard wood floors, chairs made of tree branches and bark, and thick wooden tables make up the dining room. The menu changes seasonally and uses local farm products. Most patrons opt for the three-course meal, but those with a mammoth appetite or with a group can order seven-courses. Entrees include Pan Roasted Pheasant and Grilled Elk Rib Chop.

Contemporary, but casual |

This somewhat new addition to the Boulder dining scene meshes a strange mix of coffeehouse chic with wine tasting elegance to create a "this-place-is-happening" feel. Sleek dinner tables are bordered by sofas for the coffee drinking crowd, while the other end features a grand piano that invites guest musicians to play during lunch and dinner. Seeing a pianist in jeans and T-shirt at a grand piano during lunch is odd, but strangely refreshing. Salads, steak, pasta and seafood bolster the dinner menu. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classy sports bar |

Sometimes establishments that bill themselves as sports bars are nothing more than glorified locker rooms for the local softball teams. The Lazy Dog, however, does not fall into this category. Jerseys and sports memorabilia are judicially placed so that they do not border on overkill. Televisions are prominent, but not to the point of being distracting to those who only want to dine. The dinner and lunch menu are the same and feature a host of Salads, Pizza, Pasta dishes, and Sandwiches. See their website for further information. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This high-five of a restaurant offers a classy feel, but does not drain your wallet for it. Just a few blocks from the busier part of the Pearl Street Mal l, its dark wood interior and live jazz on weekends makes it a comfortable dining stop for all tastes.Long Island Duck, free range chicken and a mixed seafood grill are some of the stars of its kitchen. The wine menu is both impressive and affordable. Review © 2007, Wcities |
