Fine dining and unforgettable ambiance and views for a special occasion and splurge! Flagstaff House is family owned and run and offers fine dining in Flat Iron mountain foothills in Boulder, which is approximately 40 minutes drive north on US-36 from Denver. If you are looking for a memorable dining experience, you will not be disappointed. If you're looking for a romantic location, this is it, as it is a popular spot for marriage proposals.
The first courses average $17, but there is an option for ordering Beluga caviar and Half Bottle of Krug NV Champagne for $265, the salads average $9, the entrees prices are $28 - $90. Sometimes the chef is trying out new dishes and occassionally will offer diners free samples of these new creations. We usually skip dessert and have coffee or tea, because we have had each course and have no room, but if you are celebrating a special occassion let them know in advance as they may have special desserts.
The restaurant offers fine wines and cocktails and you may enjoy a drink before or following your dining experience at their bar area.
My favorite location for seating is an early evening on the patio overlooking Boulder Valley where the air is clear, fresh, and pine-scented mingled with the sound of birds singing.
The Flagstaff House holds many prestigious awards, including Colorado's only Wine Spectator Grand Award since 1983, Mobil Four Star Award, Triple AAA Four Diamond Award, and the DiRoNA Award.
They open at 5pm and reservations are recommended several weeks in advance to obtain a special date and time.
The menu and web reservations is available on their website. I recommend calling in person for reservations for your convenience.
