Lovely service from the hostess and server. Sat at the "chef's table/bar" and asked the gentleman behind the counter what his favorite dish they offered. "Meatballs." That's it. That's the only interaction I had with him the entire time. Not exactly the experience I was hoping for when I selected the chef's table, but whatever. Nice little place with a cozy dining room, bar, chef's table/bar plus a back room, which was hosting a private party during my visit. The hamachi crudo aguachile was quite delicious. I should have gone with my other choice, which was the crispy arancini with blue cheese and spicy honey. (Sounds yummy, right?) But I went with the server's suggestion of the special roasted sunchokes and just really didn't like them. I also asked for a slice of their focaccia (who can resist the squishy softness of some good focaccia?!) but I was sorely disappointed when it came out oven roasted and rock hard. Wait. What? Thankfully, the removed the $5 charge for the single piece of bread from my tab when I mentioned not loving it, and the server did apologize and said she should have asked if I wanted it heated. Overall, a bit of a swing and a miss for me. I think it could have been a better experience with a few different choices on my part. I'd certainly give them another try if I find myself in Boulder again.

This was our favorite restaurant in Boulder hands down! I came here with my boys after saying "goodbye" dropping off my freshman daughter. And I'm so glad we did. We were totally taken care of from the minute we entered the place. Decor is simple and elegant. Our server was extremely attentive and suggested a beautiful German Rosé that was pleasantly crisp and clean. The menu is small, but don't let that fool you. Each dish is loaded with flavor and taste. To start, we had the hamachi crudo, burrata, and 7x beef tartare. FANTASTIC! Zero complaints. The flavors were complimentary in each dish. Ask for bread, it was delish! For our mains, we had Nonna's Sunday Ragout- gnocchi was perfect pillow clouds and sauce was excellent! Roasted Chicken had excellent flavor. And NY Strip- was cooked perfect for me because very few places seem to get medium well correct anymore. However-the only negative was the 3 slices of meat. Not a full cut of NY strip as assumed on the menu. For the price it felt a little chinzty and left me hungry. My only suggestion- just put 4 slices and make sure it indicates that on the menu or the server tells customers. Other than that, out experience was 5 stars all the way. I will definitely be going back when we visit again!

As any CU student will tell you, Pearl street is the place to go for great food off campus. Well this establishment is on the high end of scale when it comes food and price. The decor is simple yet elegant. Yes, the food is spectacular (The roasted chicken is moist and seasoned just right, the homemade pasta offerings incredible, and their starters are original). My only issue with this restaurant was the size of my protein part of my meal (I have included a picture of the portion size). I only received two slices off a strip steak. To be honest with you, I was expecting to receive an entire steak at the price they were asking here. But other than that, this restaurant has impeccable service, and it is one of the few restaurants in the Pearl street area that has parking right out front.

Came to celebrate my anniversary at Oak 14th Boulder. It's not our first time but truly it's one of the best re in town. Fresh food & service was excellent As an appetizer that ordered beef tartar and chicken liver pate . For dinner my boys ordered halibut fish, my husband ordered chicken with delicious sauce reminded me of Indian food. I just got gnocchi. Photos attached

My wife and I had an amazing dinner at Oak on Friday, July 19th. We had the kale, apple, walnut salad, the halibut and the lamb chops. The wines and deserts recommended were also great. Dinner was presented beautifully and the food was incredible. The plating was top notch. The fish was flaky, but moist, and lamb was perfectly medium rare! The food and drink deserved 5 stars by themselves, but what really stood out was the incredible team. We had the opportunity to sit at the chef's counter, where we were amazed at how professional and hard working the waitstaff and kitchen team performed, plus it was practically a show watching the meals being prepared. We also appreciated a relaxing dinner, with dishes being delivered at a pace that allowed us to enjoy the course and talk without being rushed. A very rare thing in US restaurants. Finally, we have to recognize Sous Chef Juan and waitress Kelly who took amazing care of us, chatted and answered my numerous questions, plus conveyed their passion for amazing food and incredible service. The rest of the team was there if a plate needed clearing, or a fork dropped, but these two stood out for their excellence and service to us. Great job! We will be back, likely more than you can handle!

I got the apple and kale salad for an appetizer, which was way better than I expected. The cheese and candied nuts were a great addition to the salad and balanced the vinaigrette very well. Also, the whole salad was nicely chopped so it was very easy to eat with spoons! This is one dish I would love to have more often in my normal life - a healthy dish that I'm happy to eat. It's not cheap, but it was very tasty. The meatball dish was alright - everything tasted good and worked together, but the meatball itself was a bit drier / tougher than I would prefer. It was a large enough portion size for me to be quite full after eating as well. The server was very attentive and was on top of refilling my water whenever I needed and checking in on how I was doing. However, the food took a very long time to arrive. I was slowly eating the salad trying to save some to eat as a side to the meatballs, but the main dish didn't come! I eventually finished the salad and then I had to wait a further 20-30 minutes - by this time it had been 45 minutes since I ordered.

Wonderful atmosphere!! This is a smaller/ more intimate restaurant, and the staff do a really good job at letting the customers weave through the walkways first. Super polite and considerate! If you get the dry aged steak be prepared to share! It's huge! ~10oz I believe.

This is probably more like a 3.5 but I'll give it 4 because I like the idea and the menu. It's a cute restaurant near Pearl street with a nice ambiance. Came here with my husband and kids on a Saturday night at 5pm and they were able to seat us without a reservation. Service was friendly and great at times, and a little slower at others. No kids menu but they do offer chicken fingers/fries or buttered pasta for the kiddos. Both kids got the chicken fingers and fries and reported that the fries were the best they've ever had (and they've eaten a lot of fries). They said the chicken fingers crispy crust was more like that of a fish stick--to me it tasted light and crispy. Now to the important food--adult food! My husband and I shared the hamachi crudo and the olive oil poached halibut. The crudo was only ok as the fish tasted fishy, and it needed a touch more seasoning. For the bites where there was a good amount of flaked sea salt, it was better. Beautiful dish but would not order again. The halibut was delicious though--some spicy Calabrian chilis below which added a nice heat, and the squash purée was a nice touch. It would have been nice to have even more purée and also to season the chunks of grilled zucchini a bit more. The shaved zucchini had great seasoning though. We finished off with the peanut butter cup dessert. That was also only ok. The pb mouse was a little loose/runny/soup like and the proportion of mouse to the small scoop of chocolate ice cream was too great. Plus there were 5-7 chocolate brownie (?) bits but they were super crispy and hard--would have like a softer chewier brownie instead. Overall it was really nice to go to a fancy-ish restaurant and still have a couple of kid food options, but I'd skip dessert and choose a different app.
