Boulder Creek

All the Cunningham restaurants are really great this one is family friendly. My only feedback is that they don’t have an allergy menu. The chef seems to always be able to answer my questions. Most of the sauces have gluten and dairy in it but they could make me a dig rub rib. I’m sure it would have tasted better with the sauce. The price is reasonable especially for the kids meals that come with drink and dessert! Eating outside is fun with kids if the weather is good.

What a wonderful dinner we had tonight! Wife’s birthday today. We arrived at 6ish. The hostess told us it would be 45-55 minutes. So we settled into a waiting bench. I went to the bar and got an old fashioned for me and a Corona for the Mrs. The old fashioned was excellent. We were only about 15 minutes into our cocktails and they were seating us! What a nice surprise! Our waitress let us know that the special of the evening was Pistachio crusted Chilean Sea Bass on Brussels sprouts in a creamy Beurre Blanc sauce. The special also came with a salad. (The salad dressing deserves a shout out too. Raspberry poppy seed on hers and blackberry balsamic vinaigrette on mine! Wow! Both exceptional.) We both ordered the Sea Bass special. It was amazing. We finished up with the chocolate terrine. The dessert took a bit to get to the table. But it was also very good. The restaurant was very busy. But our waitress, Sam was still on point the whole evening. She was attentive and helpful. Thank you Boulder Creek for a memorable evening.

TERRIBLE experience with this restaurant's management team. Had a group of 18 for a Baby Shower for a Saturday Lunch. They said booking the private area was $1500 (That's $83/person FOR LUNCH!) They let us make a regular reservation for the room instead and said they would only seat other people back in the room with us as overflow if the rest of the restaurant was full, which would be highly unlikely. They told us this on two separate occasions, and we were totally fine with that. When we got there, they had just seated 2 tables in our area and there was only 1 other table of people in the entire restaurant! Mid-way through the event they cleared the 2 tables and then seated a 3rd group back there with us. At this point, it felt like it was being done on purpose just to be rude, because there were empty tables & booths all over that restaurant. Manager never came to introduce himself. Never checked on us. Never asked if we needed anything or were doing ok. Never thanked us for coming in with a party of 18. I approached him to ask why they were seating people back there with us and he said "Well, you didn't book the room, just a reservation, so we can seat people there." One server was pretty good, the other was rude. I had to grab plates and silverware from empty tables so we had enough. They told us they would give us two tables to set gifts and a cake on. They only gave us one. They had some privacy doors which we tried to close a few of (not even all of them) out of respect to a table that was sitting just outside of our area. They would walk in and open them back up. They did this on multiple occasions, without explanation, just walk in and open them back up and walk out. Mike Cunningham - the families at this event have literally spent THOUSANDS of dollars combined at your restaurants over the years. Starting with The Big Chill in Avon. The Management Team at your Restaurants should be adding to the experience of people attending a Baby Shower not detracting from it. Totally unacceptable and disappointing from what is typically a great group. We love to support local restaurants, but will not be going back to Boulder Creek again. The attached pictures are ones we took to showcase what the restaurant capacity was while they were seating people in the back room with our group. This does not require overflow into a party of 18...nor should those customers probably want to sit next to a party of 18 with so many other seats avaialble.

I ordered a tederloin ( I asked how big it was) you know how you can order a tenderloin and it's as big as the plate Usually!!! I was told it was medium size tenderloin so figured it be at least bigger then the bun. But NO not even. I told my husband it tasted like chicken! He tasted it and agreed it tasted like chicken! I expected a lot better!! Look at my other comments I don't know if I have ever given a bad review. But this was a total disappointment! (I've had a better sandwich from. Wendy's) I took half home it was served with a generous portion of frys.

Boulder Creek was a great experience. Taking off a star because the risotto and au gratin were a bit bland. Not bad by any means, but in need of black pepper and some cayenne. The waffles fries -- wow, wow, wow. Truly the best part of the meal. The jalapeño cheese sauce was so good! The bbq ribs are so tender and come right off the bone. The sauce is sweet, tangy, and rich. The beer battered shrimp were salty, crunchy, and cooked well. The risotto wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. The au gratin was well made and cut easily, but also in need of some seasoning. The Boulder Mule was really good - Crown Apple and ginger beer are a match made in heaven. Service was great, from front to back. Our server was friendly, had good banter, and was great at timing and with the refills. Can't remember his name but wears the American flag neck gurter.
