Disappointed

Went to Greenbriar in Feb 2011, I was extremely disappointed. My wife and I ordered appetizers, dinner and deserts and only 2 of the 6 dishes were really good. Portion size was terrible, my wife's fillet was about 4oz. We eat out about 3 times a week and higher quality restaurants usually have smaller portions than your local Chili's but this was ridiculous. We made reservations about a month in advance and the table was ready when we got there. Decor was nice and the service was very good. I wish I could remember the server's name because she did a good job. But the food was only good and not great. 2 dishes were really good, 3 were ok and 1 was poor. When you walk out of a restaurant and spend $150 for a meal you expect to be impressed, that wasn't the case. If you want a nice restaurant in the Boulder area try Colterra in Niwot or the Flagstaff house.

outstanding fine dining experiance

by diner8719 at Citysearch

This place has always been a favorite! The service is like nothing you find on pearl street or anywhere else in Boulder. Unrivaled wine list and delicious menu! The duck rendered crisp is the best I have ever had and the Caesar an attraction in itself! Nowhere else does a spectacular table-side preparation like the service staff here! Great for special occasions or just a nice place to catch up with some good friends and really dine.

Not what it used to be!

In the past we have enjoyed our dining experience at the Greenbriar. This year it was a bit of a nightmare. The service was terrible; our server was unable to keep the drink orders straight, our food orders were confused and delivered to the wrong people, and in the end the food came at different times and it took a while before we all had our food. We all agreed the food was not very good. The spinach salad was tasteless and overwilted, the prime rib full of fat, and the desserts could easily have come from Safeway. Something has happened in the past year at this restaurant. The service and food quality does not match the price structure. I encourage you to take your dining dollars to a more deserving location.

Think twice before your next visit!!

THINK TWICE BEFORE YOUR NEXT VISIT!! Our last visit to the Greenbriar Inn was in 2009, and everything was wonderful. The food was amazing, high quality, and the dessert spectacular. However, we just went in Oct 2010 and they must have changed managers or chefs. The food was absolutely disgusting! Left with a really bad stomach ache. All the buffet items were luke-warm at best. Fish was overcooked. The lamb tasted really old. The buffet serving dishes were so close together that you had to wait several minutes just to get to the next food choice. The baked desserts were too dry to eat. Some made with cheap boxed jello pudding. Service was okay, but not what you'd expect. Hopefully they care enough about their restaurant to make some changes.

how can the waitress call my home phone asking tips!!!

by publicvoice at Citysearch

I always had the good image about Greenbriar before, but last time, I ate with my daughter there and they neglect us the whole time. We wanted to change the seat and nobody even came back and do nothing for us, then, the food was really normal too, plus they charge my 9 years old daughter the same price like me, so I left without tipping, she called me back to my house and left message asking for tips. I donot think I will ever go back there anymore.

Good food, negligent service

by boulderlady at Citysearch

Wait staff was pleasant, but very forgetful. Several things we requested never came. When I made the reservation I said we would be celebrating my husband's birthday and was assured they would make note of that. Along with our requests for a drink and some pepper, it was forgotten.

• Pros: Mostly good food, well prepared
• Cons: Caesar salad lackluster. Service poor.

Intimate and posh, this establishment serves up traditionally delicious food and a stellar wine list.

In Short
Warm lighting and wood paneling create a tasteful and elegant ambiance. Regulars can often be found passing time in the lounge, drinking martinis. The menu is extensive and changes frequently, though favorite dishes appear regularly. Appetizers include smoked salmon salad, served with a coconut-tangerine vinaigrette. Entrees range from succulent beef Wellington to semolina-encrusted sturgeon served with a goat cheese fondue. However, vegetarians may have trouble finding great dishes.

Best in Boulder

by warlind at Citysearch

The location, staff and food make this the best experience you can have. Our family tries to find an excuse to celebrate in order to go! Owner is always there making sure you are taken care of. Sat/Sun brunch is the best around.

• Pros: Everything - Romantic Dinners or Family Get-togethers
• Cons: It isn't free!
