“ After a spontaneous decision to walk the flatirons loop from a suggestion of a friend. I found myself hungry and this place did not disappoint. Aspen my bartender was attentive the beer was cold. Had the bison burger first time eating bison was delicious. If your in Boulder great place for a bite. ”
“ It's a charming place, feels sophisticated and relaxed at the same time. Beautiful setting surrounded by nature, hikes, and great picture spots. Wear your pastel color and sweater over your collar shirt. I had to show a picture of the "chicken and waffles" because the food is delicious. ”
“ The atmosphere here is dreamy with unbeatable Flatiron views. The pork chili is seriously spicy (and delicious), and even the omelet packs some heat. Our server was fantastic—friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Parking tip: Chautauqua has its own lot right by the dining hall, but from Memorial Day through Labor Day (and on weekends/holidays), you’ll need to pay. It’s $2.50/hour and you pay through posted QR codes or the ParkMobile app. Outside those peak times, parking is free. The QR system works fine once you know it’s there, but it can feel like a hassle if you’re not expecting it—make sure your phone’s charged and you’ve got a signal. Bottom line: The food and views are worth it, and with a little parking prep, your visit will be smooth. Talk a stroll on the path after your meal ”
“ I highly recommend visiting this dining hall. The historic building is beautiful, and the wraparound porch made for an awesome brunch with beautiful views. The food was also outstanding. Pineapple mimosas, sausage appetizer, bison burger. We stopped by while biking. There were bike racks nearby to lock up which we appreciated. ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious and the pricing was amazing considering the location and pricing of other restaurants nearby. Our waiting was good, but also handling a lot of tables, so we didn't get much time with them. Still very nice and got our food to the table fast. The atmosphere was also beautiful. Lots of beautiful nature to enjoy while enjoying the food. ”
