We went here for valentines dinner and there were some issues but the management was professional to assure to the best of his ability that we had a good experience. The steak was really good and cooked a. perfect medium temperature as we had requested. They have a great wine selection but I wish they had a better selection by the glass without ordering a whole bottle.
What a most wonderful brunch at the Greenbriar Inn! The location is lovely and we had chosen to sit on the "sun porch." There was no sun today, but it was still a pleasant place to be, because one could enjoy the view and the in-floor heating. The restaurant was full, but we had no problem holding a conversation. It was nice to see that our company ranged from very old people using walkers, to families with children, to young single friends and couples. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and loving the food. The waitstaff was plentiful so that everything moved fast if necessary, but one never felt rushed. Our waitress was knowledgeable about all of the menu items and gave good advice. She was very attentive, but didn't hover and never interrupted our conversations to check " if we were happy." Excellent service! of course all of that, while delightful, is icing on the cake. The real question is if the food is good. It's delicious! Flavorful and subtle. My companion and i both had the oysters Rockefeller to start. They were perfect. Subtle flavoring where one could still taste the lightly cooked tender oyster. id like to eat those every day. That light touch combined with a deep flavor profile was also evident in my shatchuka and my companion's butter poached crab eggs Benedict. The menu was varied; there were lots of other selections that were tempting. i would go back to the Greenbriar any time, and highly recommend it.
Had not been to Greenbier in a LONG time but went frequently in !970-80"s....that's not a typo...its that old. and so am I. Read some criticize its age but I think the place is cool. Tiny funky bar...awesome sunroom where we had brunch on a sunny December Sunday. Christmas decoration very nice. Servers were very NEAT and in NEAT uniform and very attentive, but not too much. Spicy Bloody Mary good and at $12 a real bargain. I had traditional eggs Benedict....among the very best ever.... came with nice plate of fresh greens in tangy but very lite vinergarete. Spouse had veggie omelet which came with house made biscuit. She gave both an A. And the prices were very reasonable.....both entrees, bloody and a hot teat $55usd....a bargain in today's restaurant world. Great food at great prices in a very cool location North of Boulder. I'm going back.
Had some friends in from Houston and wanted to treat them to an ultra delicious dinner in a fine dining restaurant. Naturally we took them here as the ambiance, service and food are all over the top. Don Adam was our waiter and he provided excellent service. We selected the Wagyu Flat Iron Steak, Grilled Colorado Filet O' Beef and 2 orders of Scallops. All were done to perfection. The wine list is also superb so it was very easy to pair to the wide variety of our order. If you are looking for a place that has delicious food and beverage and awesome service then this is where you want to be.
A great place to have brunch. Especially when the weather permits sitting outside. Food was tasty but service was slowwww. Our guy basically ignored us for a good 40 minutes and when I asked to get a refill on the coffee, I didn't get it, until I called another server to help.
Beautiful setting, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and great food this is a lovely special occasion spot and I don't know why it took us so long to get here. My husband and I went for the anniversary of our engagement and will most definitely return. While there were several salads and appetizers that looked delicious in the menu, we wanted to be hungry for our dinner so we reluctantly only had main courses. Knowing it was an anniversary, the waiter brought us a glass of champagne to toast the special day and of course I didn't say no to the bread (olive is my favorite). I ordered scallops and shrimp over risotto and my husband got the Beef Wellington. They were both hot, fresh and delicious!!! We had a glass of wine to go with it and the evening was divine. We were too full for dessert this time, but the choices sounded fabulous. A Boulder must!
