“Flagstaff House In Boulder, CO Not Up To It's Reputation”

Flagstaff House Restaurant

Save Review
3 of 5 stars

Jul 28, 2008

We've wanted to go to The Flagstaff House for years, finally did, and were very disappointed.

The view from the restaurant? Absolutely beautiful! By far the best part of our experience.

The food? Surprisingly, just average. With Flagstaff House's reputation and prices, we expected the food to be spectacular. The pre-appetizer appetizers were awful, the soup sampler was not good, and the main dishes nothing notable. The ahi tuna appetizer was very good and the specialty dessert of the night, Coconut Souffle, was delicious.

The service? Very slow. Very, very slow. 30 minutes to get a cup of coffee. We asked twice before bread was brought to our table.
Again, at the prices charged, we expected the service to be beyond reproach.

We're glad we went because now we can mark Flagstaff House off of our "Places to Try" list. Been there, done that, won't do it again.

“Lots of fun.”

If you are going to spend money going out to eat, this is where you want to spend it. While probably the most expensive place in Boulder, you do get a wonderful meal. When I go, I usually order several meals to split as appetizers to work up to the main course. I have been many times and the food is always top notch. The menu changes, but there are usually some items that remain. I always try at least one new dish.

Favorites are: Potato encrusted halibut, pancetta wrapped quail, lamb tenderloin, Chateaubriand for 2 (They never seem to have this any more, but if you see it, get it, the vegetable layout that comes with it is just amazing. I haven't ordered the filet mignon for just one person, but it might have the same spread.) .

The one complaint that I might have is that the waitstaff seems less attentive in recent years than they used to be. Not bad service, but maybe a slightly less committed waitstaff.

The wine steward that is usually there is very good. Let him help you spend your money wisely if you don't know what you want. Even if you do know what you want, he might still have a good recommendation :)
