This little restaurant turned out to be a gem of a find. The squash apple soup was enjoyed by my wife and my sisters. I liked the linguine. My brother loved the cubanos sandwich. We all enjoyed the grilled bread an roasted cauliflower. The service was prompt and friendly. We will go back.

Came to Riffs after realizing the restaurant we intended to go to is closed for the holiday… but we definitely found a gem! I rarely give 5 stars for review, but when I do — it means it’s really great! The atmosphere was great for couples or small group dinner. The waiter recommended “Hindsight 20/20” (red wine) for us and it was simply marvelous! There’s complexity and it has a great aroma. Their food goes beyond amazing! We ordered steam mussels, roasted carrot salad, lemon and thyme chicken, and grill Hawaiian Ono. Each dish was a perfection to me. Their pumpkin creme brûlée with ginger adding the spice and texture was a great surprise. I am really tempted to come back again when I return to Boulder in 2 weeks!

Cute little restaurant hidden among others in Pearl Street. I’ve never finished restaurant burgers but I certainly finished theirs. The meat was so juicy and fresh. And the fries were in their own league. If you find yourself hungry in Pearl Street I strongly recommend this chill spot. Plus their customer service is impeccable, such a nice staff.

Fantastic food, and great service with an ever changing menu and unique drink options. We are definitely planning on you by back! The meal was great from start to finish and we ordered appetizers, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, large entrees, and coffee with dessert. The four of us were thrilled with everything we were served.

This place was in the walking district and had amazing food! It was indoors but opened up into the brick walkway for a down to earth feel. The food was killer!

Nice newish spot to Pearl. Not great for a quick bite but if you have some time, the food is killer. Prices aren’t over the top and portions are perfect- you’ll leave comfortably full. Great apps to share.

Really great aesthetics and the food was great as well! The garlic aioli complented the burger perfectly and really made it sandwich. Filling meal for a good price in a great location. Would recommend

One of the best burgers we have ever had, as well as the beet salad. The restaurant is smallish and cozy! Will definitely be back. Also try the ginger root drink.

Our experience didn’t only include the food, but also the welcoming atmosphere and modern decor. Our server, Cady, took great care of us. The food was pricey but well worth it. The salmon was perfectly cooked and all the vegetables were fresh and well seasoned. Definately a must-try if you are on Pearl Street
