Was last there in 2019 for Mother’s Day brunch. Food available was more varied and delectable. This year, 2025, food was good, but comparatively, it was an overpriced let down.

The food was amazing. It took a while to get our food and not because we took long ordering. Service was slow. Our waiter brought the wrong glasses for the bottle of Burgundy we ordered but the Som noticed right away and switched them out. We were 7minutes late for our reservation and ended up being there over two hours. It was busy but not loud or crowded. Will definitely go back due to the ambience, food and extensive wine list.

Mixed experience at best. They were very helpful when we asked to add a person to our reservation days before our date. We waited 30 minutes to get a drink order in, menus on the table (of 8) in the middle of the restaurant. There was a mix up and apologies made. Having waited tables myself, how does anyone not notice that the big table isn't being helped?? No idea. If you love oysters rockefeller, you'll be sadly disappointed by their version. The entree plating was so sparse. Poor presentation. My meal had slid across the plate as it was served, 3/4 plate was empty. My crispy snapper was not crispy. Dessert was very good. It was a nice location for a special meal but the meal and service weren't. Wouldn't go again.

Disappointing. We went for graduation dinner thinking this would be a wonderful spot to celebrate for 4 people. The facility and outdoor space is very nice. Our table was upstairs, service was good, not great. Maybe we expected everything to be great for the price/location/marketing which it wasn't. My grad's cocktail was clearly spilled on the way up missing 1/3 of the drink compared to another. Waiter just put it down and left. Premium martini was not cold enough. The food was mediocre, expected it to be better, felt it was overpriced for what arrived. We ordered off the dinner menu, filet mignon, lamb steak (2 of these so it was a true sampling, both undercooked, poorly presented), flatbread (big crust, little filling). Oysters Rockefeller (small, not the good big oysters layered in spinach and cheese like is normal for this dish elsewhere). The truffle fries were very good! Even though it was graduation weekend they didn't seem over run so we couldn't say our experience was due to being grad weekend. At $400+ likely won't be back.

Food service was super slow. Waited over 45 min for our drinks. And another 45 for food to arrive. No communication from staff. And, the pace wasn’t full.

While slightly further away from Boulder proper (5 mi?) than many other restaurants, The Greeenbriar inn is an excellent choice for dinner. It is situated in charming cottage setting with a main dining area, an indoor patio, and a second floor dining room. The food was outstanding as was the service. We ordered the deviled eggs for the table and we 3 diners agreed they were the best we had ever tasted. I ordered the Halibut over a bed of risotto. The halibut was fresh without a hint of “fishyness”, cooked to perfection with a crisp skin and flaky inside. The risotto was equally delicious. This is a restaurant I definitely recommend and well worth the extra 8 minute drive from the center of town.

We had a beautiful dinner celebrating our daughter’s graduation. Our waiter was fantastic, very personable and attentive with great suggestions. I had the halibut which was divine, my husband had the burger, and my daughter had the scallops that were perfectly cooked.

Karen, thank you for your words and allowing us to be a part of the celebration. Congrats to the grad

Best experience we have ever had at this restaurant. Our waiter, Matt, was outstanding. The timing of our food being served was spot on. My wife had the Red Snapper, and I had the duck. Both were cooked perfectly and were excellent.
