The first experience I had eating creole food was at Lucile's. It was a delicious introduction to eating New Orleans style dishes. It definitely was not my only meal there. Lucile's is located in a refurbished Victorian house. It is a family establishment with an unique atmosphere.

Went on a recent (rare) rainy afternoon in Boulder with a friend and enjoyed a nice, deliciously, leisurely lunch on the porch with Matthew as our server. He was extremely charming and attentive, offering honest advice and opinions when asked. This kid knew his stuff - both on the food menu and the wine list. Our lunch was delicious - we both started with the clam chowder with herbed drop biscuits - creamy and perfectly seasoned. My friend had the lamb sandwich served with a side salad. She gobbled it up, while I devoured the grilled smoked trout, served over an artichoke & potato "hash". Simply delicious.
Pros: Service is excellent, food is right behind that. Nice wine list as well.
Cons: Crowded on the weekends for a great brunch, but don't let that stop you from going.

We had a wonderful seafood meal, both small plates and entres. Food is artfully presented with creative combinations such as seared scallops over a done-just-right risotto cake infused with a fragrant sauce. We tried about 4 of the chef's creations and all were awesome. Service was friendly. We liked the casual yet classy atmosphere.
Pros: Chef doing some very creative, tasty things with seafood

I frequently drive 20+ miles (one way) to get Jalino's pizza, since 1997. Most of Colorado is a
pizza wasteland, thank the pizza gods for Jalino's.
Pizza of this quality doesn't come cheap, but the
price is fair for the quality and quantity of
ingredients. THe Rocky Mountain News food
critic gives them the rare A- rating and I firmly
agree. They don't have the space for sit-down
dining, but take it home and it's great. We've
even enjoyed it for Thanksgiving dinner one year
in the middle of a move.
Pros: awesome pizza, quality ingredients, generous portions

Chez Thuy has a great selection of Vietnamese food for take-out or dine-in. Although it maybe is a tad pricier than some of the Chinese restaurants in the area, Chez Thuy's food is definitely of higher quality and comes in sizable portions. My favorite menu items are the vermicelle dishes--fried rice noodles with honey and pine nuts-- delicious!

My husband and I spent our twenty-third anniversary at the Boulder Cork this year. Upon entering the restaurant, the sweet hostess took our coats and hung them safely away in the closet, and took us to a fabulous table in the back of the restaurant next to the fireplace. I would suggest calling ahead for a reservation, as our server and the hostess were well aware that this was to be a very special evening for us, and literally made us feel like royalty.
The prices of the steaks were on the high side, but we are not eating at the outback steak house. Our lovely server Rachael informed us that the steaks were all natural and grass fed, so you pay for what you get. The wine list is out of this world to say the least, and as a wine connoisseur, some of the older vintages are exceptionally low in price considering the restaurant mark up. We ordered a George Latour BV private reserve '96 that was out of this world, and that alone would have made our night until the courses started coming.
My husband and I shared an Arugula & La Quercia Prosciutto salad, which they were happy to split without a split fee (many restaurants do this these days) then my husband got the filet oscar and I the most generous and tasty new york strip, and everything was cooked to perfection. We ordered the sides of asparagus, sauteed mushrooms, and some mashed potatoes. The sides are generous, and great for sharing, and I was so glad that we had the option to choose what we wanted so that we could mix it up a bit.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is willing to pay a little extra for the best quality meats and seafood, enjoy the best wine, have exceptional service, and simply relax and have a fine but not uptight dining experience. This restaurant has been around since 1969, and it shows in their mastery. If you are unsure about where to spend a fabulous evening dining, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. It is truly a little taste of Boulder history.

KT's is some of the best BBQ you can get, in my opinion, is always prompt (great for picking up an easy and delicious meal), and has some delightful beans. Though they have pork in them, with a touch of the mild or medium sauce are truly sublime. Very Highly Recommended.
Pros: Food, Speediness, Price, Food
Cons: Location, while hardly far from Boulder, isn't convenient or central Boulderites

The Chinese here is great--my favorite was the moo-shu. The takeout time is fast, and it's great for people living in North Boulder because the location is so close.
