Originally a restaurant with two sections: sushi and "regular plus tapas." These merged so that all three menus are available in the dining room. It is a local favorite not only for dining but the bar which is well attended in late afternoon and evenings. The sushi is of good quality and, as is the sashimi, rolls, and other selections. The tapas are quite varied and the list covers two sides of the menu card. We have tried almost all of them and have never been disappointed. The general menu features selections you would expect and there are specials every day. It usually has a broader selection of seafood than most restaurants of this size. There will be something on these menus for everyone in your party.
9. Acreage by Stem Ciders

We found this restaurant by searching for a restaurant with a view of the mountains in Lafayette Colorado. Up popped Acreage by Stem Ciders. This was a first for us as all the other restaurants we visited in the area were part of a brewery or served local craft beers. We went for the view and were not disappointed. Acreage is on a hill in Lafayette and offers a great view of the Rocky Mountains. The view alone is worth the trip to this restaurant.The restaurant does not have any comfortable seats or that is my thinking, nor does it have seating for 4 or less. Inside there are long tables with chairs that have backs that only come to the small of your back. These are placed at very long tables so you have to sit at these tables family style. They also have very long benches at long tables which again are not designed for 4 or less people but for a huge gang of people. Outside on a really nice patio they ruin the whole effect with picnic tables. Picnic tables that are very low to sit on and also very awkward to sit at comfortably. Again these tables are not necessarily designed for intimate seating arrangements. So if you go be prepared for awkward seating.The food menu was a bit different but offered some interesting choices. I had mushrooms on toast and my sister and niece had the acreage burger with acreage chips. We learned later we should have had the basque frites as several people remarked on how good they were. I really enjoyed my mushrooms on toast which also came with a cured egg, burrat and greens. It was quite delicious and I may have to attempt to make this dish at home. The acreage hamburgers were quite good and the acreage chips were as well.Since this is a Cider house I decided to try a flight of cider even though I am not really a fan of ciders. I did not really care for any of the ciders I tried and that may be because my flight was dry ciders maybe I should have gone for more sweet ciders. Our server was very pleasant and was very familiar with all the items on the menu. It is a nice location and the food was good and the view was fantastic, however it is not a comfortable place to sit.

I'm a huge fan! Been going to Huckleberry for many years, pretty much every time I'm in the Boulder area. There are many good breakfast/lunch spots in the general area, but I would rank the Huckleberry at the top of the list. Quaint older building, service is top notch, great food, and excellent coffee, (something a lot of breakfast places seem to miss). Highly recommended!

Amazing! Fresh fish, great sides, unpretentious environment near Boulder. Family friendly and gluten free options. The lobster rolls were spectacular and the walleye is flown in fresh every weekend. The owner is always in the restaurant and is very friendly. But how can I forget the beer? They have an award winning lager on draft that pairs perfectly with yhe fish and chips. I woukd highly recommend this establishment.

A friendly and welcoming place, the meats - and that after all is what barbeque in about - are very good. Sides were surprisingly good as well - especially the potato salad. A good choice if you are in the area and can find a place to park.

So nice! Light, pleasant atmosphere with great indoor and outside seating. Open for breakfast and lunch, the menu is affordable, varied and good!I had the Sunrise Sandwich that is a great value at $8.95 alone and just $10.45 with a side! I chose a slice of French toast for my side so I could try it! Such a large sandwich that I took half the sandwich home!Also, I had excellent Lemonade!The service was really good, with a special thanks to my server, Andi M!

We stopped here recently on a Wednesday night for dinner and bottomless wine. The food was fresh and well prepared. All entrees are under $20 add a glass of wine with unlimited pours for $10. Wines included Chardonnay Pinot Grigio, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. For entrees we had the trout, pesto crusted salmon, steak frites, a wrap and short ribs. All were super delicious. The bacon wrapped dates and tempeh appetizers were also wonderful. I had never had tempeh before and loved it. They have outside seating and free parking. Service was excellent.

To say it was good would bean understatement. The beer was great also with a good selection!Hello and thank you for your valuable feedback! We are delighted that we were able to accommodate your son as we take great pride in our ability to make sure everyone can enjoy our delicious fried chicken.

Early Bird has one of the best weekend brunches around! It is just so hard to decide what to order each time.On this most recent visit, we started with vanilla lattes and cappuccinos and they were delicious. The pancakes, eggs, biscuits, huevos rancheros, breakfast potatoes, and sausages were all tasty and plentiful. I don't believe there is anything bad on this menu.You get great service, delicious food, and huge portions when dining here. I will be back!
