Elevated comfort food in a charming cottage with a great backyard.
"Housed in a century-plus-old miner’s cabin with a magical backyard, this self-styled purveyor of “Colorado comfort cuisine” combines quaint cottage vibes with homegrown recipes for, say, trout in citrus compound butter with quinoa, apple, and sunflower seeds; bison sausage with shakshuka and whipped potatoes; and short rib with Southwestern veggie hash. For dessert, tableside s’mores are the next best thing to camping in the Rockies." - Rebecca Treon, Josie Sexton, Ruth Tobias, Nisa Sedaghat
"A former miner’s cabin turned quaint cottage on Pearl Street, River and Woods features a magical backyard and fine-tuned comfort food by chef Daniel Asher. Items include chicken schnitzel with potato waffles, a meatloaf made with Niman Ranch beef and burrata, and tableside s’mores for dessert." - Rebecca Treon, Josie Sexton, Ruth Tobias, Nisa Sedaghat
"Set in a small cottage with outdoor dining on Pearl Street, River and Woods has been elevating comfort food since 2016. Dinner, Brunch, Cocktails, Takeout, Delivery."

"Housed in Boulder’s former and beloved, John’s Restaurant, present-day chef and owner Daniel Asher has transformed this cottage space, and its outdoor area, into a haunt that guests will want to stay a while. Its renovated outdoor patio features a restored Airstream-turned-bar and various handcrafted tables to dine under the Boulder skies. With a homey yet refined American menu sourced from recipes that local guests submit — like Aunt Penny’s mac and cheese with local organic mushrooms and organic greens — dining here feels like an elevated meal in a favorite neighbor’s backyard." - Nisa Sedaghat
