We've been holding our holiday celebration/party at The Flagstaff House for the past twelve years or so. We hold it in their small private room (The Vintner's Room) so, admittedly, we're not getting the typical/average dining experience. However, having said that, the combination of outstanding food, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere, willingness to accommodate special requests for our event, and, of course, the spectacular view of Boulder (see photo) keeps us coming back year after year. In the more distant past we held it at a number of other restaurants but, since "discovering" The Flagstaff House we've had no reason to go anywhere else.
There are, however, two caveats I should mention. First, The Flagstaff House definitely fits the old saying "You get what you pay for.". Or, to turn this on it's head, you pay for what you get. Depending on your means you may want to budget for your dinner/event ahead of time. I know I do. However, to me it's well worth it!
Second, in the past couple years The Flagstaff House has changed it's menu format from a more-or-less traditional format consisting of a "First Course" (20 or so more-or-less appetizer like items), a "Main Course" (15 or so more-or-less entree-like items), desserts, and other miscellaneous items. The new format is available on their web-site so I won't say much other than that of the two overall options (the "Three Course Menu" and the "Chef's Tasting Menu") the The Three Course Menu is most like a conventional menu but only has about 20 main items vs. the 35 or so on the older menu. I preferred the older format but Your Mileage May Definitely Vary. To each his own.
The bottom line is still that The Flagstaff House is a truly exceptional place to go for an outstanding dining experience!
