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.

This "my-oh-my-this-place-is-certainly-nice" type restaurant has been the talk of the Denver dining scene since it first opened. The interior is contemporary and harbors big windows with big views of the big mall area. The food is top-notch in both taste and presentation. Lamb, halibut and pork chops are just a few of its dinner offerings. There are also pasta and salad options. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The first thing that grabs you is the spaciousness of the dining room.

The menu features some eye-bulging dishes like Lobster Scallions in a ginger sauce and Striped Bass. The specialties can be pricey compared to other Chinese restaurants, but are well worth it.In addition to more traditional dishes, there is also a selection of "healthy" entrees like steamed beef with vegetables, and steamed fish fillet.

The informal and airy dining room is perfect for a relaxed business lunch or dinner. The challenge of this all-you-can-eat spread is trying not to spoon up a meal big enough for three, especially when exploring the dessert section. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Like with any other barbecue smokehouse, the setting in this wood dominated restaurant is casual and teeters on resembling a neighborhoood sports bar. But based on the always busy parking lot, the food overcomes the setting.The menu, though small, specializes in Southern style barbecue and features a full slab of "have-plenty-of-napkins-handy" ribs for $21.50. There are also barbecue chicken and pork options, as well. For lighter appetites, choose from the barbecue sandwiches, including brisket, burgers and a parent-happy kid's menu.

Small, colorful Chinese restaurant |

The low-lit dining room is quiet and this is a great place to get away from the crowds. The menu features traditional Szechuan and Mandarin gourmet choices. Try some classic favorites such as Sesame Chicken, Orange Beef, or Sweet and Sour Fish. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Skiers' pit stop |
1 West First Street Boulder, CO 80466 United States +1 303 258 7313 |
Affectionately known as Neo's, this pizzeria and Italian restaurant is a favorite among skiers driving home from Eldora. Huge family-style portions are big enough to share and include tasty selections of calzones and lasagna. But you cannot leave without tasting the fabulous pizza. An extensive beer and wine list will accommodate most tastes and price ranges. The tables are close together, and the service can be slow on busy evenings, but this does not deter the faithful customers of this long-time Nederland establishment. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A Nederland standard |

Do not let the brown, unmarked door fool you. Inside, this old Nederland watering hole is a rare view of mountain history and culture served with some delicious American and Mexican food. Known in town as the PI, it is worth a visit if just to view the rustic decor of wagon wheels, horse saddles and cowboy paraphernalia. On weekends live music booms about the dining room. Non-smoking and smoking sections are available. No children at the bar. Review © 2007, Wcities |
