About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for happy hour
Neighborhood gem

The Boulder Cork Restaurant has provided quality food and excellent service since 1969. The restaurant is now one of Colorado’s most renowned dining experiences. The casual, yet attentive atmosphere is the perfect place to spend a special evening, be it to relax with friends or entertain business associates. Our banquet facilities can accommodate large groups with the quiet proficiency and superior quality that has become the hallmark of The Boulder Cork. The food is an impressive display of creativity and variety, masterminded by the chef, Jim Smailer. Chef Smailer has created an enticing offering of steaks, prime rib, chicken, pasta, and fresh fish selections; all on the cutting edge of culinary delight. The food is as fresh as the market allows. The true epicurean will agree that our efforts are apparent to both the eyes and the palate, from the appetizer through the handmade desserts.

We went on a double-date to dinner at Boulder Cork. We made a reservation in advance (recommended). Our waiter was very friendly and we were seated at the time of our reservation. We ordered the Boulder Cork salad to share as a starter and I had the Sake Salmon for dinner. I chose the Boulder Cork salad because it seemed to be the healthiest salad on the menu. Overall, I liked the salad, but would've preferred it without the macadamia nuts. The sake salmon was cooked well and had great flavor but it was too saucy for me and I didn't care for the veggies, they seemed to be frozen or canned and not fresh. My husband ordered the filet and the couple we were with ordered a surf and turf meal and a sake salmon. They all enjoyed their food a lot. Also to note, we didn't realize the restaurant closed at 8PM and our dinner reservation was at 7:15. We stayed at the restaurant until 10 and none of the staff came over to try and kick us out. We had great conversation, laughed, and reminisced, even after closing. We are grateful to the staff for letting us stay!

Food was consistent and well prepared. Our server was wonderful, very attentive, and friendly. We were placed in the bar area, which was loud and hard for all to hear in our family group. I asked for a quiet location, and was disappointed the hostess tried to seat us directly next to the bar when we arrived.
