Cannot speak highly enough about our service! Our waiter was incredibly thoughtful and efficient. We went for our ten year anniversary and the kitchen made a little sign with chocolate to congratulate us. The food was fresh, creative and so so good. The house red sangria made the night even better. Such a lovely place to celebrate with someone you care about! Thanks Spruce!!

The food was fine but not really worth the price. The alcohol was expensive and tasted a bit light on the pour for the specialty drinks. Our waiter was polite but we had deadtime that was longer than normal with dirty glasses and plates accumulating. The carrot cake was very average.

This restaurant is inside the Boulderado Hotel. The food was very good. We had the trout and the sea bass. Any sides like salads are all extra. Service was good. The ambiance was good. It seemed a little pricey for what we got, but what do we know. It’s worth going back to.

First off, outstanding and attentive service by Jeramy. Menu prices seemed reasonable to high but when I saw the serving sizes, I realized it was a great value for the price. Everyone loved how their meals tasted and were presented. Finally, we had a table near some windows. Wonderful ambience and classy place.

There was a disconnect. Ordered the calamari, which has no notation on the menu of having almond flour and sliced almonds in the batter. Says it is GF however. Told waiter I have a tree nut allergy while making full menu order. Calamari appetizer came out. Took a few bites. Waiter came by just after I swallowed to say it had almonds in the dish. My eyes widened. By some mystery I didn't have a reaction. Highly allergic. Carry 2 epipens. Dodged a bullet. Management, could you please add this very important detail to your menu? Who puts almonds in calamari? If the waiter doesn't tell the patron or know, or it's not written on the menu, people like me are at risk. Thank you.
Spruce Farm & FishResponded on April 25, 2022
Diane, I am so sorry that there was a disconnect. Our calamari description on the menu does have "toasted almonds" listed and we agree with you that if nuts are in an item they should be listed. Again we are sorry for the disconnect, please know that we take allergies very serious.

Our server, Violet, was terrible and had a major attitude. I have eaten here before and had great service but this visit was awful. Violet interrupted us when we were ordering, did not bring our food and was confrontational. Far too much for us when all we wanted to do was enjoy a Belgian waffle. The restaurant was not busy, so there really was no explanation for the behavior. She dis not check on our food, brought us the wrong dishes, didn’t bring dishes and spent most of her time hanging out with three other servers who were laughing really loud for hour and half we were there. My previous experiences were positive but based on this interaction, I am unlikely to return.

The salmon was dry. The risotto was overcooked and soggy. The steak was cooked to temp. However, the amount of char on the outside really took away from the taste of the steak.

Our third visit and it is always just perfect. Yes it’s a little expensive, but this is a true chef who creates beautiful, delicious dishes. We’ve now had the duck, prime rib, salmon risotto, sea bass appetizer, sea bass risotto, mussels, clam chowder… not a single dish isn’t amazing. We love the beautiful, historic setting. Our waiter, Sam, was perfect. Thanks once again, Spruce!

Really looked forward to this brunch cause we heard many great things about Spruce. Was a bit disappointed in food and service. Ordered avocado eggs benedict with no fires but a side salad. Food arrived lukewarm with potatoes. had to remind server about side salads. Service was fair. No silverware on table. When asked server for silverware, she told us "in a minute" and took order from another table. Silverware arrived more than a few minutes later. No one came to check on us til bill arrived. All in all- there are lots of great restaurants in Boulder. This will not be one we revisit. Sorry. I really wanted to like it cause ambiance is cool but...

I love this place. It’s just classy! Sophisticated but comfortable. The guys had prime rib, and the gals had a prime rib sandwich. Everybody loved their meal. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was to die for- just right. Our waiter was very professional and efficient- not bugging us too much, but was there when we needed something. We sat at the bar before our table was ready- the nicest bar in all of Boulder.

The mussels and oyster appetizers were outstanding. The mussels were served swimming in a thick, buttery garlic sauce with a side of grilled bread. Perfection. The West Coast oysters, while small, were also delicious, served traditionally on ice with lemon, vinegar and cocktail sauce. The entrees were just ok. The sea scallops were good, but I didn’t enjoy the overall flavor of the dish, and my husband’s bison steak was much too rare (he ordered it medium rare) and he left most of it because it grossed him out. The mashed sweet potatoes, however, he said were “phenomenal” and the “star of the show.” We’d definitely go back and try different entrees. Really cool ambience; we were seated in a quiet part of the restaurant, which we liked. We enjoyed exploring the Boulderado Hotel lobby after dinner.
