"Pretty disappointing experience given the reviews where some people said it's Michelin star worthy.. The waiter seemed new or less experienced about the menu because he didn't recommend that many dishes, just said what was popular. He was nice but not very present after receiving our food. Also he said to order everything at once for better pacing. The entrees took about 15-20 minutes to come out so I don't think the pacing is accurate. He also said to order 3-4 bites/appetizers for 2 people.. 2 was definitely enough and the entrees are pretty big. I appreciated the sommelier who served a drink that wasn't wine and the gentleman that brought our food. After entrees it took another 15 minutes to be asked about dessert.. He didn't even bring the menu so we passed. He also said something was coming but it was 2 small sugary candies, nothing for the boyfriend's birthday though I was told he would get an eclair. I guess telling them in advance and marking on OpenTable it's a birthday doesn't matter and the waiter didn't ask if we were celebrating anything. I understand this may be asking a lot but for this calibur of restaurant, it should be better. About the food.. the oven fired oysters were just lukewarm. The waiter said that was to melt the compound butter but we didn't experience low temperature of oven oysters at places like Hog Island. Flavor was great otherwise. The polenta was delicious and our favorite. Very flavorful and a great portion size. The duck and pork andouille entree was okay. It didn't look like a dish for the calibur of the restaurant or what they are trying to be. The halibut had great flavors but it was too dry. Pretty sad. Wouldn't come back nor recommend for a birthday/dinner. The bar inside was very bustling so maybe you should check that out instead if you're inclined. Appetizers are around $15-20, entrees $30~each. Cocktails $15~. Corkage is $40.. Not worth it."

"It was our first time eating here. It started out great, every employee was very nice. For some reason our waiter just stopped attending to us and I could hear him conversating with the tables around us. Very disappointed about my experience here. Waited forever for a refill on our drinks and food and the waiter never even bothered to ask how the food was knowing that was our first time there. First and last. Btw, the hybrid steak was very tough from it being 90% gristle. I should've known it was wrong when I was told it's kind of like a hybrid steak. Which was the waiter's recommendation btw."

"Velvet 48 is a fabulous wine bar and so much more. They have great little bites and a delicious cheese plate. The wine is very well curated so any glass you choose will be fantastic. They also have an awesome wine club, which includes 6 bottles quarterly."

"My partner and I decided to dine at USC last night without a reservation and were lucky enough to snag a table. We were warmly welcomed by Monique, the Sommelier, who first treated us to a glass of USC's own Tassin, which we found to be absolutely delightful. Monique then introduced us to a vintage Billecart-Salmon Cuvee that truly impressed us. To cap off our evening, she suggested a remarkable Madeira that was the best I've ever tasted. Michael guided us through the menu and made some excellent recommendations for our meal. Chris, the manager, made sure everything was perfect before we left. Thank you USC for a fantastic dining experience! - Will Phyl from Whitestone"

"We came in for my husbands birthday. We had an reservation and were seated in the bar area upon our arrival. Both my husband and I chose to do the course meal. Everything was fine with our appetizer round. We then moved on to pasta. My husband was served his pasta nearly minutes before mine came out. We then waited minutes between the pasta and our main course. When our steaks arrived, mine was perfect. I had nice slices of steak. My husband received a plate with two very small slices of steak and a slice of fat and gristle. We had asked a floor manager if they could sent our waitress over when she had a moment. The manager asked how they could help and we commented on the difference in the plates and mentioned we had wait over two hours for our second and third courses and were a bit disappointed in his portion size for the price. The response from said manager? Well what do you want me to do about it? We then spoke to our waitress who brought over a second manager. This manager said they would fire up some more steak for my husband. minutes go by and we asked our waitress when the steak would be coming..at this point my food was cold from trying to wait for my poor husband. Our waitress checked with the kitchen and they hadnât even started on the extra steak yet! We said to forget it and we would just move on to dessert. We had mentioned several times that it was my husbands birthday. This was supposed to be a special night celebrating but it was overall a huge disappointment. When you are spending plus dollars on a meal you shouldnât have to wait hours or be served a sad plate of steak. The lack of concern from both managers and the poor customer experience makes us not want to come back."

"I don’t know where to begin to describe such a gloomy and obscure place. I will begin with the waiter, lady in black just scaring.. continuing with the elevators in which you have to pray to God to arrive safely… Now the food, the crab is only a tiny piece in the middle of tasteless melons. The duck came completely cold, we asked the scary waiter and she stared at us like in a terror movie… overall I would have gone to the Tower of terror in Disney.."

"What an amazing place and such a delicious meal!! The restaurant is all the way downtown and the area around it is nice but not crowded if you go during the weekend. One major nit was that their outdoor patio is well heated but not properly setup. My chair was at the edge of the opening and had to have my jacket on during dinner the entire time. With that said, everything else was perfect. I really liked the touch of an on table taste of the wine to confirm that?s the one we want. My wife tried a few before settling on her wine. For appetizers we got the arancini (5/5), polenta (4/5) and they served us the house sesame bread. Everything was amazing and I could eat 10 more of the arancini. The calabrese pepper sauce that comes with the arancini is sooo good. I dipped everything in it. I generally rate Italian places with how well them make their pasta al dente and how well they make cacio e Pepe. While the restaurant passed on creativity and texture on the candele pasta, I wished for more thicker of a sauce and the pasta was a bit too heavy on the pepper for my liking. Overall it?s still a solid dish and I?d give it a 5/5. For dessert we got the seasonal persimmon jam pie which was super thin and flavorful. I loved the addition of a HEAVY cream dollop that helped balance out the flavors. Highly recommend!"

"Superb! The garlic bread is amazing. We did the tasting menu which included 8 dishes in 4 courses. We had 2 vegetable dishes, 2 pasta dishes, meatballs, cod, polenta, and dessert. Every dish was flavorful and carefully thought out for a perfect bite. The desert was also amazing, definitely recommend this restaurant for a date night or small group gathering. The restaurant actually has 2 sections inside so there seemed to be a decent amount of seating/capacity but it’s popular so I recommend a reservation. We have passed by this restaurant many times and didn’t even realize we have been missing out. Will definitely go back."

"The pictures online honestly don't do this place justice. A very cozy and cute spot. Great for a date night or girls night out. Cute bar when you come in but it is tiny so I would come early. The bartender and staff here are so friendly and accommodating. Service is on point here. Our waitress knew the menu very well. Came here with my girlfriends for an easy night out and tried their restaurant week menu. Unlike some places, here they do not skimp just because you are ordering for restaurant week. My girlfriends tried the wine pairing that was offered with the menu and loved it. The choices went perfectly with their meals and we are trying to find the dessert wine they offered! Sweet and refreshing. My only deductions are that I thought some things were just a little under seasoned but it was just me. I had the pear pecorino salad and I felt as if it needed either a little more pear to cut the bitterness of the salad or maybe some gorgonzola. The meatballs were great. The veal to me needed just a little bit more seasoning but aside from that was good. And each and every one of the desserts was delicious!! I would highly recommend coming here."

"we have been happy with friends who we hadn't seen for a long time for dinner. I have chosen via perla about other restaurants in the inner city of boulder because it offers good Italian cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere. but I had hoped that the restaurant would not be crowded with loud people, because we really wanted to talk and catch up, not scream and laugh gay. we have, to our great joy, laugh a lot, listen to us strata and comments, and enjoyed our cocktails and dinners. add the wonderful and cheerful service of a friendly server called stacy, and they have everything essential for a beautiful night out. Thank you. via perla, and thanks, stacy!"

"We have always liked the quality of food , service and family environment of Vincitorios. But like many other COVID pandemic had an impact on both during the past couple of years. However, no more.....Vincitorios is back to its highest level of food, service and environment. Our family had a wonderful dinner celebrating my father's 82nd birthday and we genuinely didn't want to leave when dinner was over. The talent of their long time musicians Sarah Vanell and Billy Ward only added to the special night. No special celebration needed we will be back on a regular basis simply to enjoy the warm environment and outstanding food."

"Be cautious when reserving hibachi on opentable. They display reservation times that are not actually available. We received a call an hour before our reservation informing us of this, and had to engage in multiple conversations with the manager to finally figure out how to accommodate us at a time slot 15 minutes later. This wouldn't have been an issue except it was a reservation for a double birthday party and we had guests driving in over an hour to meet us. Despite technically accommodating the reservation, our party was seated poorly and we waited at least 15 minutes before ordering a drink, another 15 to receive all the drinks, and a total of 45 minutes before we received our food order."
