    None of the food was hot, even the coffee was cold. We had a party of seven. The service was slow, and it was super noisy. We won’t be back.

    Everything we ate was incredible. A little pricey for the portions (which are defined as shareable - but weren’t really) but well worth it. Will def be back

    What more can be said about the Kitchen Upstairs? The ambience, menu and cocktails are outstanding! My wife and I have come here for several special occasions and it never disappoints!

    Very nice, the gnochetti was a bit too rich for me, loved the carrots, a bit pricey but overall the restaurant is lovely and has a very nice feeling to it, I would love a vegetarian plate that would feature all the veggie dishes.

    This was our second meal at The Kitchen in Boulder, and as with the first it was a great time. The wait staff was attentive but not overbearing, knowledgeable about the dishes and food to table time was very good. The food was delicious and interesting, as well as hot when it came to the table. Overall an experience that will make us come back. Perhaps to the Denver location next time.
