Well we have been coming to the Greenbriar Inn for years now but never for brunch until today. What a treat. We started off with Mimosa's and the Greenbriar Bloody Mary. The Greenbriar Bloody Mary comes garnished with a strip of their Applewood Smoked Bacon a killer pickle, onion and tomato. Man is it awesome. Our table then ordered our mains which consisted of 3 Greenbriar Eggs Benedict with Butter Poached Crab, Lemon-Tarragon Butter, Arugula on an English muffin and topped with Hollandaise and Featuring Greenbriar Inn Farm fresh eggs. Again, outta this world. Also ordered was Scrambled

My first experience was awful. Food was sparse and undercooked. Did the NYE dinner and they couldn't shovel snow from walkways. As a non meat eater, there were no desirable selections. Left hungry. Don't bother going here. Staff was courteous.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at The Greenbriar Inn last night. We're ecstatic about our dining experience here - it made for a delightful and memorable evening. If we could award more than 5 stars to this rating we certainly would! We ordered multiple courses, getting to the mains we had the Beef Wellington and the Roast Duck. Every bite of each course was delicious and prepared as we'd hoped, Spot On! The service, impeccable, with fun and upbeat interaction! We enjoyed time with Phil, co-owner, working our through their wine list picking out some classic old world gems. Stellar Night

This is a wonderful, tasty dining experience.
Decor is intimate, woodsy and nice. Service is friendly, although dinner took over 3 hours. Be ready for an experience.
I got the Cornish hen. I was surprised that it was only a leg and a wing. I thought it was the hen. It was also really, really dry. Way overcooked. However the "stuffing" was probably the best thing I've ever put in my mouth.
They also have amazing coffee. I would go back just for the coffee.

Spent more than 200 bucks on dinner and had a mouse run up my leg! The flies are out of control and you can smell the dumpster inside the restaurant.

Sunday, November 28, was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. We arrive as a party of 10 for brunch with reservations. It started out promising being seated immediately and drinks quickly arrived. It was all down hill from there. Food took over an hour to get and it came out Sporadically over a period of ten minutes. The two orders of eggs Benedict and two orders of Monte Cristo and the omelette were cold. What really surprised me was that the order of muscles were served cold. Sea food, cold, really? Yes, the steak and eggs were hot, just out of the oven but they arrived

Food and service was great. They would have gotten 5 stars except their bubbles and white wine were not cold. Cooling the wines before hand would have been better. But they did work hard to make us happy. So grateful for that. Fantastic place

Service was fine but burgers were raw. Ordered medium. Pear salad with spinach was void of spinach, had romaine. I've never been impressed with the food here and for the cost it is very disappointing. I keep hoping the food is better but I'm not going back.

Absolutely incredible, we just had our wedding there and the staff were extremely helpful. Answered any and all of our questions and our family has had nothing but great things to say about the service and food at our reception! Beautiful property as well!

This was such an amazing experience I haven't have for a long time with the foods, service for a very reasonable price! We made a reservation for my mom's birthday. We got such a very good service! The complimentary bread with the pate is very very good & impressed me. After all we got the sorbet before the main meal. Foods were very delicious in right portion! Love it & we will come back

Nice spot away from the Boulder bustle. Very attentive service. Was there with family for brunch outside. Our food took very long and some items were disappointing: the toasted bagel was cold and borderline stale, small lox portion, the montecristo also cold and dry

We had the most amazing experience at The Greenbriar Inn! Our wedding plans got a wrench thrown in them last minute and the staff there was so extremely accommodating to us. From the amazing food to the hand… crafted cocktails and scenery, everything was absolutely perfect. Huge thank you to the staff for going above and beyond to make our experience so unforgettable

This is a nice place to come. It is expensive but the food is delicious. I would dress on the nicer side if you come here. The only reason I took a star off is because my sister had a wedding brunch here that was planned in advance. The brunch was 20 minutes late setting up and the 2 or 3 staff working the brunch were very slow and forgetful when asked to bring mimosas or coffee.

So excited to go back after pandemic and great to see it fairly busy for a Wed night. Walked in as usual and sat in bar area, a two top and no acknowledgement from bartender, no hostess to be found and not even a hello and be right with you from the two servers who passed us twice. Waited for about 15min, nothing so we took our biz elsewhere.

The owner was the one that seated us. The food and atmosphere are excellent. My wife and I had a great date night there. The waiter made an awesome wine recommendation that paired well with our dinner. I let them know I was lactose I tolerant and they were accommodating leaving the cheese off my dishes and warning me of things that had dairy if it wasn't obvious.

Our first time here, celebrating an anniversary. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Our appetizer was served very cold. Later found out it was supposed to be hot. My omelette was rubbery, not sure if there was… any cheese in it. My husband was given a tablespoon of sauce for his 4 waffle halves. I ordered a drink, after 15-20 minutes asked about it, the waiter said he forgot to order it. The drink should have been made with ginger ale, it was made with water. Definitely a different taste between water & ginger ale, no sweetness in the first one. Service started out wonderful, then became

What a great night! If you don't know- the Restaurant has made many changes. Big menu change, a chef from Italy who brings Tuscany Into the house- wine pairing that was spot on- and a lovely staff!

It was a celebratory night and knowing that they are Covid aware we had a spacious room and an invitation to enjoy abd not feel rushed. The duck was tender and melted in my mouth with hints of chocolate and coffee. The meal in general felt as if autumn was being presented as a dining experience.

For years- we did not go, but I'll be back as it has become a true gem with great food, service

Spent my birthday at The Greenbriar Inn. The food was fabulous and they had my favorite SOFT SHELL CRAB. We sat outside, I felt very safe during the Covid time. Our waiter was great, the dessert fabulous, the drinks, strawberry rhubarb mojito, all cooked to perfection.

Thanks for making this a wonderful day, I'll be back!

I've driven by so many times, I was excited to finally give it a try for Denver Restaurant Week. I love everything about the character of the building and location, and the history. The outdoor patio looks lovely for warmer weather, and I can immediately understand why it's popular for weddings.

The food was about what I expected: delicious, upscale, solid but nothing overly adventurous. I had the duck, which was flavorful and tender. The pork belly appetizer was a great blend of tastes. The wine list is dizzying.

We brought our son and didn't expect a kids menu; I appreciated

Update:

Now after this meal I would have given my original star rating a 3 instead of a 4. Holy moly! We actually got our bread BEFORE the meal, not after we paid like the first time. We went for First Bite Boulder. I had been planning this dinner for weeks now. Did not disappoint. Got the potato and parsnip soup. Yummmmm. The apple cheddar galette was AMAZING. I was so full but still made a valiant effort to finish it all. Our waiter was wonderful and funny and helpful. Seriously top 3 meals of my life. My partner and parents all LOVED their selections too. My next conquest will have to be the
