One of the 3 Kitchen restaurants on the same block in Boulder. This is the fine dining option w/strong emphasis of local sourcing of ingredients. Everything was excellent. Perfect option for a splurge

Fresh farm friendly offerings that are as healthy as they are delicious. Had the Falafel Quinoa Flatbread for lunch and would recommend for anyone. Perfect portion sizes and environment for lunch .

Cooper Smith

If you're here for lunch , the roast beef sandwich is fantastic, and so are the fries and ketchup that come with it. (Fun fact :: the owner is the brother of Elon Musk)

Possibly the best restaurant in town . Seasonal menu with no snobbery attached. Just great food. Go next door to Kitchen Next Door if you want something quicker, or cheaper!

Ann Shek

Had the Taste of the Kitchen (4 course meal). Mussels were divine. Steak was slightly over-seasoned. Dessert with latte was on point. Yums all the way!

Kristopher Chavez

For brunch , get a Bloody Mary . Their house recipe is outstanding. The pan roasted chicken for dinner may sound simple but is some of the most flavorful chicken you will ever eat. Scallops rock too.

Glad they had a tasting menu so I didn't have to choose from all the delicious sounding options. Attentive staff kept the treats coming smoothly. One problem: our table was too small.

More casual and beverage-focused than its downstairs counterpart, the Kitchen sees diners packing in for appetizers and entrees made in a wood-fired oven on weeknights Read more

Ali Van Putten

One of my favorite meals in Boulder, the food here is creative and delicious. Try the Kitchen Next Door for a more casual meal as well .

The Kitchen changed the farm-to-table landscape in Colorado by emphasizing local sourcing and relationships with farmers and other purveyors. [Eater 38 Member]

Food blogger Merritt of Live Simply Love recommends The Kitchen for their “farm-to-table menu and chalkboards listing local farms that provide fresh ingredients for the day’s meal.”

Julian Sonda

Delicious food. Masterchef standards! We got the best pork belly ever and also alaskan halibut fish . Fenomenal!

angela gaylor

Everything is perfect here. Can get crowded ; make a res if you can.

Rich Mason

Great service. We had a 4 course "taste of the kitchen" which was the best meal of our trip in Colorado.

Mike Rowan

Definitely try the tomato soup w/olive oil. Was perfect and don't forget to dip your buttered bread in it. The homemade gnocchi was amazing too.

Sopitas

The tomato soup is amazing, as well the Piri Piri Sandwich

Tucker Aust

The bolognese is outstanding. Amazing place all around---from the atmosphere to the wine list .

Dan Croak

Good for a group. Great service. Had some ridiculous rare beers .

Kevin Schmidt

Get the apple fritters if they’re available. They look like small doughnut holes. Amazing.

Sativa Verte

Bring your dog & eat outside on the patio ! Michael is a good waiter :-)

Stacey

Great food. Excellent service . No visit to Boulder incomplete w/o a visit here and their other restaurant , The Kitchen [NextDoor].

Prashant ???? Agarwal

Great place for lunch at the bar . Get the Eton Mess . Big enough for two.

Jordy Scholhamer

The white Bijou is their best cocktail (it's not on the menu )

Green Daisies

Skip the downstairs scene and head upstairs for a more relaxed, romantic vibe with the same high quality menu and service!

Kate S

A little expensive , but the food is amazing. The tomato soup comes with a splash of the freshest olive oil you have ever tasted.

Inna G

Pri Pri chicken sandwich , the warm cookie for dessert is a MUST!

Ebtehal Sadeq

Breakfast/brunch unlike any other in Boulder. Perfect.

Debbi DiMaggio

Farm Fresh and Delicious :)

Alicia Benjamin

Amazing food!! Definitely try the tomato soup & quinoa entree if you're vegetarian .

Mark Taylor

The food as described on the menu does not do the actual food delivered any justice.

Brendan Lewis

Don't be like me. Avoid FOMO and order the bolognese

Teghan Tracy

The Lychee Martini is the best. Careful though it's not classy to fall of bar stools. ..

Nicole Westrick

Sunday night happy hour - prix fixe 3-course tasting menu is a bargain!
