Temaki Joint
$$$$•Sushi•4.9(35)Temaki Joint is the latest expression by Chef Duy Pham - An intimate hand roll and
sushi experience centered around precision, immediacy, and simplicity. Built around the art of
temaki, each roll is crafted to order and designed to be enjoyed in the moment. Drawing from
decades of experience and a deep respect for Japanese culinary tradition, Pham reimagines
the hand roll through a modern lens, highlighting premium ingredients from all over the world,
perfectly seasoned rice, and balanced composition. The experience is interactive and personal,
inviting guests to engage directly with the craft. Every element from the cut of the fish to the
temperature of the rice is carefully considered to deliver a product that is both elevated and
approachable.Cozobi Fonda Fina
$$$$•Mexican•4.9(715)On a mission to share the beauty of Mexican culture through food, Chef Johnny Curiel opens Cozobi Fonda Fina as an encore to his beloved LoHi restaurant, Alma Fonda Fina.

$$$$•Seafood•4.7(3,009)We don't take ourselves too seriously at Jax Fish House. Two things we do take seriously? The freshness and sustainability of our seafood. You know fresh fish when you see, smell, and taste it-and thanks to modern delivery technology, we bring in that freshy-fresh seven days a week. Sustainability is a little more complicated. Not all commercial fisheries are created equal. That's why we work closely with our suppliers and science-based organizations to ensure that every single thing we serve is responsibly sourced. We consider the stocks of the species we source to prevent overfishing and we work with suppliers who harvest in ways that have minimal impacts on marine environments.

$$$$•American•4.8(3,341)Nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, The Greenbriar Inn is an elegant fine dining restaurant, tavern and private event space located in the north Boulder countryside. The surrounding 20 acres features two ponds, a waterfall, a mountain creek, striking woodland and thriving produce, herb, and flower gardens. The cuisine focuses on seasonal, American classics and is complimented by a 900 label award-winning wine cellar. With several private dining rooms and three outdoor spaces, The Greenbriar Inn is the perfect choice for romantic dinners for two, family celebrations and a fun night out with friends as well as an excellent venue for weddings and private events from 10-300 guests. Voted best American restaurant, best outdoor dining, best farm to table restaurant, best neighborhood restaurant and best brunch, The Greenbriar Inn is truly a special and unique dining option in Boulder County.The Hungry Toad
$$$$•Pub•4.7(115)The Hungry Toad opened in July 1991 and is located just blocks north of Boulder’s historic Pearl Street Mall. Since then, The Hungry Toad has been providing both traditional and creative pub food as well as bringing in classic English style draft beers as well as local craft.
The Hungry Toad’s interior, reflects the classic English pub feel yet hip in sensibilities of the surrounding Boulder area, and pays tribute to England’s storied pub past.
Our outdoor patio rests on Broadway & North with grand views of Sanitas and the surrounding foothills with sun and shade. We strive and will always strive to be Boulder’s neighborhood pub.
Cheers,
The Hungry Toad

- AAlLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined on Oct 27, 2026Absolutely love this place. Greeting at the door was warm and inviting. Atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. Cannot say enough good things about the food. The pork belly was delicious, as was the roasted beef and corvina bass. Finished off the meal with the most amazing butter pecan ice cream that I've ever tasted! The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Loved the spin he puts on the cocktails (definitely knows how to balance tastes). Have been here multiple times and every visit is better than the one before. Will return the next time we're in town.More infoBramble & Hare$$$$• Farm-to-table• Boulder•4.4
