We started with the frsh oysters in the half shell, so yummy then on to a great fresh sald and a great homemade soup. The atmosphere was very up scale and clean. Shared bathrooms a little different but a great foodie hang out.

My son and I had dinner here on a very busy weekend, so without reservations we sat at the bar. We shared the terrine as an appetizer. I had the swordfish for dinner, and both were delicious. The bartenders were friendly, and the service was great. There was 1 little glitch which they immediately rectified and more than made up... More

We were at The Kitchen on May 12th for dinner and were impressed by the chic urban atmosphere. We ordered 4 apps to get the party started (hummus, Spanish sausage, Burratta cheese, prosciutto). My favorite of these was the hummus because it comes with delicious smoky bread. We then waited a very long time after the apps until our mains... More

Went to The Kitchen for the first time last week. Excellent beer and wine list. The sausage app was incredible. The duck was also good. I had the halibut for dinner which was excellent as well. Staff was terrific. It's loud but fun. Quality of the food was great and service was great.

THis is the second time I've been to Boulder in the last 6 months and I can't wait to go back. It's a true foodie city and one of the highlights is The Kitchen. It was our first stop once we'd dropped the bags in the hotel and they didn't disappoint. Everyone was nice, friendly and hyper competent (it IS... More

Nice wine list and interesting menu. Popularity and no reservation policy make it a hard table to get.

We are working our way through Boulder's top rated restaurants and dined at The Kitchen on Saturday evening. We were running late for our 7:30 reservation and were glad that they held our table for 15 minutes. The dining area is packed with tables and the noise level is HIGH! I had to cup my ears towards my husband in... More

Coming off the pedestrian-only Pearl St into the starkly avant-guarde facility, there is excitement inside as youthful servers move throughout the restaurant with top-quality food and wine. Patrons enjoy the show. They also relate to the personable servers. The service is good. The food is unique. The wine presentation is impressive. The breads and desserts are exceptional. If visitors can't... More
