Editorial Review for Flagstaff House Restaurant – by Ephraim Mallery
The Scene
The Great Plains sprawl below, and as the sun fades, the lights of Boulder begin to twinkle. Tiered seating allows a stellar view from any table. The chef changes the European-inspired menu daily, modifying sauces and dishes based on the freshest seasonal ingredients. Flagstaff's legendary rack of lamb falls from the bone and the buffalo filet mignon and foie gras Wellington in a black truffle sauce is an ultra-rich indulgence.

I'm a travel and food writer who's lucky enough to have eaten at some very fine restaurants around the world. My boyfriend brought me to Flagstaff House. The food, the service and the view were all incredible and absolutely unpretentious. It's lovely that they have a dress code - so nice to enjoy an elegant atmosphere! It is not an inexpensive restaurant by any means, but you get what you pay for. Perfect place for a special evening!

My husband and I go here for special occasions, and each time we have a lovely evening. It is annoying that some people come hoping to feel "okay" in jeans or shorts. This is not that kind of place, and that is the end of the story. This is a nice, elegant restaurant. Please do not come dressed in sweatpants and get upset if you are not welcomed with open arms. Great food, and plenty of it; the servings are quite generous; the wine sommelier who looks exactly like Art Garfunkel is amazing! I do not know his name but each time we go, he is kind and never condescending; he really enjoys taking his time and educating. He is someone I would love to hire for our next party! The food is always interesting; we have only gone for dinner, so I cannot speak for lunches, but the view, the atmosphere, and my husband are quite enough to put me over the moon! We will keep going as long as we live in the area! Thanks to this place for holding true to their standards of service, quality, and atmosphere.
Pros: Atmosphere, service, food, drinks, view
Cons: not the place to go if you are in cutoffs or jeans...dress as if you are going someplace nice!
