We've been patrons of Riffs from the get-go, but I've never written a review. We celebrated our anniversary there this evening and were - once again - so pleased. The food is absolutely delicious from start to finish. This evening, we had the roasted oysters as a starter, which were absolutely delicious. One of our standards are the Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts - always hearty and wonderful. Everything is so tasty and balanced. I find it difficult to venture out from my tried-and-true dishes, but it's always worth it.
The servers, King and Mackenzie, were wonderfully attentive without disturbing in the least. When they found out it was our anniversary, they offered us dessert on the house. These were also creative variations on beloved standards, a deconstructed cheesecake and an apple tart.
It goes without saying that we will return again and again. Bravo tutti!
The food was exquisite, the best service ever, and the drinks phenomenal. If I lived here, it would be my favorite place to go!!!
Amazing food! The portions are just the right size, delicious food and friendly wait staff. It’s true, the famous brussel sprouts are delicious, but so is everything I’ve ever eaten here!
Food was divine. Way better than expected. Every dish was perfectly presented with surprising additions. Waitstaff cheerful, smooth and never pushy. Had their famous Brussel sprouts, the smoked red trout and caramel chocolate dessert.
Yum --- Deck at the bar hooked us up with the best dishes heirloom tomatoes and Brussels sprouts and chef's special small plates
Perfect Happy Hour treat. Fried oysters followed by Mexican chocolate creameux w/ chocolate martini. Great friendly service, amazing food.

4 of us ate almost exclusively from the small plates menu and we were all hard pressed to say which dish we liked most. We added the mussels main dish to share. They were all delicious and we look forward to a repeat visit next time we are in Boulder!

Delicious dinners all around!!! Definitely a must if you’re in town!!
The environment was pleasant, attractive to the eye, clean. The staff was efficient, friendly, and welcoming. The food presentation invited the eye and palette, delighting both. I was there for an intimate gathering for my daughter's graduation with friends and family and this place did not disappoint. I can't wait for my next trip to Boulder for another culinary experience at Riffs! Thank you for making our experience special.

Simply amazing. I have allergies and the staff was very knowledable, helpful and caring. I had an amazing meal!! Thank you!!
Fun atmosphere and yummy food. Have a nice patio to people watch and visit with friends.
This little restaurant turned out to be a gem of a find. The squash apple soup was enjoyed by my wife and my sisters. I liked the linguine. My brother loved the cubanos sandwich. We all enjoyed the grilled bread an roasted cauliflower. The service was prompt and friendly. We will go back.
Came to Riffs after realizing the restaurant we intended to go to is closed for the holiday... but we definitely found a gem! I rarely give 5 stars for review, but when I do — it means it’s really great! The atmosphere was great for couples or small group dinner. The waiter recommended “Hindsight 20/20” (red wine) for us and it was simply marvelous! There’s complexity and it has a great aroma. Their food goes beyond amazing! We ordered steam mussels, roasted carrot salad, lemon and thyme chicken, and grill Hawaiian Ono. Each dish was a perfection to me. Their pumpkin creme brûlée with ginger adding the spice and texture was a great surprise. I am really tempted to come back again when I return to Boulder in 2 weeks!
Cute little restaurant hidden among others in Pearl Street. I've never finished restaurant burgers but I certainly finished theirs. The meat was so juicy and fresh. And the fries were in their own league. If you find yourself hungry in Pearl Street I strongly recommend this chill spot. Plus their customer service is impeccable, such a nice staff.
Fantastic food, and great service with an ever changing menu and unique drink options. We are definitely planning on you by back! The meal was great from start to finish and we ordered appetizers, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, large entrees, and coffee with dessert. The four of us were thrilled with everything we were served.
Really great aesthetics and the food was great as well! The garlic aioli complented the burger perfectly and really made it sandwich. Filling meal for a good price in a great location. Would recommend
Came here with some family, sat at their full service bar. Had the regular burger medium rare and came out exceptional! Texture was just right, one of the best I've had. The beer was amazing on draft as well.
This place was in the walking district and had amazing food! It was indoors but opened up into the brick walkway for a down to earth feel. The food was killer!
Our experience didn't only include the food, but also the welcoming atmosphere and modern decor. Our server, Cady, took great care of us. The food was pricey but well worth it. The salmon was perfectly cooked and all the vegetables were fresh and well seasoned. Definately a must-try if you are on Pearl Street
