Spanish-inspired steakhouse with tapas, wine, and mountain views
"Part tapas bar, part steakhouse, this swanky Spanish-inspired spot boasts some of the best views in Boulder from its fourth-floor perch. The food is only rivaled by the Flatirons. Small plates like the queso asado with mandarin honey and grilled prawns with garlic and piquillo peppers were made for pairing with gin and tonics prepared tableside, while beautiful cut after cut of dry-aged beef calls for a top-tier bottle of Rioja, Ribera del Duero, or Priorat." - Ruth Tobias
"As impressive as the fourth-floor views of the Flatirons from its windows may be, it’s the glassed-in aging locker next to the kitchen that’s sure to catch the eye of carnivores at this Spanish-inspired steakhouse and tapas bar, indicating the care with which the team treats their meat — be it Painted Hills tenderloin or a 72-day dry-aged bone-in New York strip from Colorado’s own Bootheel 7 Ranch. Meanwhile, the rest of the seasonal menu offers a change of pace from genre staples like wedge salads and creamed spinach: think Cantabrian anchovies with grilled bread and olive oil; hamachi crudo with Badger Flame beets, cucamelon, and black sesame; and jamón-fat fries with pickled-pepper ketchup." - Ruth Tobias
"To paraphrase Stefon, this splashy Spanish steakhouse will have everything on New Year’s Eve: tableside martini and caviar service, music from both a DJ and an electric violinist, and a Champagne toast at midnight. That’s on top of a four-course tasting menu boasting such creations as lamb tartare with rye bread, salsa verde, and anchovy; golden tilefish with Dungeness crab, uni, koginut squash, and bomba rice; and chestnut tart with dark chocolate and pear ($150 per person, plus $95 for wine pairings)." - Ruth Tobias
"Swanky vibes and Spanish flavors converge at this Boulder steakhouse, which will supplement its regular dinner menu — tapas, seafood, dry-aged chops and all — with a number of specials on Christmas Eve, among them Santa Barbara uni with aged beef fat–slathered rye bread and A5 Wagyu carpaccio with black truffle, shallots, and endive. Fabulous views of the Flatirons are on the house." - Eater Staff
"This Spanish chophouse in Boulder experiments with savory-sweet contrasts, occasionally topping rice pudding with green strawberries and beef-tallow caramel; more commonly the dish appears as a vegan preparation paired with sorbet, underlining the pudding’s adaptability to both rich and lighter formats." - Bettina Makalintal
