Description

The building that's home to this dining stronghold overlooking Boulder was erected as a cabin in the 1920s, then became a restaurant a decade later. When Don Monette purchased the place in 1971, he refined it into a world-class, high-end dinner destination. But time has hardly stood still at the Flagstaff House. In 1985, Don's son, Mark Monette, returned to Boulder to helm the kitchen at his family's restaurant, and he's been there ever since, working tirelessly to keep the kitchen on the cutting edge. Although today the decor still smacks of a late-'90s remodel, the menu is as fresh and interesting as it's ever been, integrating both European and Japanese influences into a seamless, multi-coursed fine-dining experience that's heightened by impeccable service and a wine list that is both broad and (20,000 bottles) deep.

    Braving the twists and turns of Flagstaff Road for dinner at the Flagstaff House is worth every thrill and chill once you're seated at a table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows or, in the summer months, on the patio. Nestled in the woods on a cliff high above Boulder, this forty-year-old restaurant features expansive views of the valley below, cityscapes stretching to Denver, all framed by the picturesque Flatirons. During daylight hours, it's the perfect spot for admiring the... More »

  • 2011 | Best After-Dinner Coffee

    A dinner at Flagstaff House is exemplary, and service doesn't flag after the meal is done. Even the most basic form of the restaurant's after-dinner coffee program is advanced: The eatery brews a proprietary house blend, made from six different African and Asian beans. More serious caffeine hounds can order from the French-press menu, which includes single-origin roasts from Ethiopia and Kona. The same focus is applied to espresso: every shot pulled, whether for consumption straight or as a... More »

  • 2001 | Best Restaurant When Someone Else Is Paying

    If someone says they like you, make them prove it by taking you to the Flagstaff House. A meal in this beautiful old building high in the foothills is a pampering treat from start to finish. The staff is accommodating, the wine list overwhelming, and the entire menu absolutely luxurious. Of course, it's going to cost your friend -- and we all know what a bitch payback can be.back home.

  • 2001 | Best Coffee Service

    The Flagstaff House has been a special-occasion destination for three decades now, and its coffee service goes the extra distance for diners who've made it up the mountain -- and must still find their way back down. Rather than the usual stuffy coffee presentation, the Flagstaff offers a fun "Sugar Tray," its compartments filled with colorful, squeal-inducing tidbits used to flavor a cup of java that tasted pretty good to start with. Choose from licorice or mint "lentils"; butterscotch,... More »

  • 2000 | Best wine list -- selection

    If you can't find a wine among the thousands offered by the Flagstaff House, then it's time to start growing your own grapes. Consistently voted one of the nation's best wine lists, the vino roster at Flagstaff is 30,000 bottles strong, with something for every palate and price range. The staff is as knowledgeable as anyone can be about 2,000 types of wine, and eager to turn you on to something new. Add to the vintage experience by sipping at a window-side table and gazing out into the... More »

    One of the fanciest place in Boulder and overlooks the city on Flagstaff mountain. Has been a Boulder institution for years and you should go there for a very special occasion.

    Some of the best views. Book early, take a date and watch the sunset. Their wine list is a binder full of choices...have the sommelier suggest a wine to match your meal.
