    We sat on the patio and it was lovely and not too noisy. Food was good. Best part was our server...he was absolutely fantastic! We were celebrating two birthdays and he couldn't have been nicer, great service and didn't rush us...so we had time to really enjoy the evening. We will definitely return and ask to be seated in his area.
    Boulder SocialResponded on April 17, 2025
    Tamra, we're thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful experience celebrating those special birthdays! Our team strives to provide fantastic service, and it’s great to know our server made your evening memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back for more lovely moments on the patio!

    One of our favorite Boulder stops! I was craving the tuna tower & disappointed it is no longer on the menu. Everything was still fabulous. Brussels appetizer is another fav.

    Boulder Social is our favorite because it is so close , the food & service are great, the prices are reasonable & the ambiance is fine. It is big & can be loud...(Can usually find peace on the patio) We were there Sunday afternoon at 4 pm so it was unusually quiet.

    Boulder Social did a great job seating our large meet-up group near each other for trivia. We will definitely host other events here in the future.
