The Greenbriar Inn

What a most wonderful brunch at the Greenbriar Inn! The location is lovely and we had chosen to sit on the "sun porch." There was no sun today, but it was still a pleasant place to be, because one could enjoy the view and the in-floor heating. The restaurant was full, but we had no problem holding a conversation. It was nice to see that our company ranged from very old people using walkers, to families with children, to young single friends and couples. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and loving the food.The waitstaff was plentiful so that everything moved fast if necessary, but one never felt rushed. Our waitress was knowledgeable about all of the menu items and gave good advice. She was very attentive, but didn't hover and never interrupted our conversations to check " if we were happy." Excellent service!of course all of that, while delightful, is icing on the cake. The real question is if the food is good. It's delicious! Flavorful and subtle. My companion and i both had the oysters Rockefeller to start. They were perfect. Subtle flavoring where one could still taste the lightly cooked tender oyster. id like to eat those every day. That light touch combined with a deep flavor profile was also evident in my shatchuka and my companion's butter poached crab eggs Benedict. The menu was varied; there were lots of other selections that were tempting.i would go back to the Greenbriar any time, and highly recommend it.

Greenbriar was a place for celebrations. Our last experience did not meet the standards previously experienced.1) Waited at the host station for five minutes and then went into the bar to ask for service.2) Half of our group arrived early. They ordered drinks and were served. The server asked if we were ready to order then started to leave. I had to call after her to order drinks for the rest of us.3) Dinner was served to everyone except me. I waited TEN minutes, then flagged our server down. She apologized for not serving me. Ten minutes later, she came back to tell me it would be out shortly. (I suspect the order was never submitted to the kitchen).4) We had 3 people who ordered iced tea or lemonade. We finished the first round. Even though our server walked by several times, we had to literally reach out and flag her to request refills.5) In the restroom, right next to the sign stating "Employees must wash hands," there was an empty soap dispenser.No offer to discount my meal, offer free dessert or anything a normal establishment would provide.Sad, sad..

Oh Greenbriar, your best days are so very far behind you. You are a tired space, poorly trained crew churning out food for those who have lost their sense of taste.The Greenbriar is a Colorado icon that has fallen into disrepair. The interior is visibly in shambles and desperately in need of a total remodel. Some of the upholstery is ripped/cracked in the booths and nearly all the dining chairs wobble. The flooring is sticky from years of spills and the space is dark, not light and airy.The food has always been mediocre but like the tired decor, the kitchen is clearly tired as well. Coffee is tepid, food is sitting in the window too long and the spice rack must have quit because everything is bland.To the owners, stop resting on your laurels and bring back a refreshed, great breakfast place that can establish new traditions.

We went here for valentines dinner and there were some issues but the management was professional to assure to the best of his ability that we had a good experience. The steak was really good and cooked a. perfect medium temperature as we had requested. They have a great wine selection but I wish they had a better selection by the glass without ordering a whole bottle.

Had some friends in from Houston and wanted to treat them to an ultra delicious dinner in a fine dining restaurant. Naturally we took them here as the ambiance, service and food are all over the top. Don Adam was our waiter and he provided excellent service. We selected the Wagyu Flat Iron Steak, Grilled Colorado Filet O' Beef and 2 orders of Scallops. All were done to perfection. The wine list is also superb so it was very easy to pair to the wide variety of our order. If you are looking for a place that has delicious food and beverage and awesome service then this is where you want to be.

This was a wonderful dining experience. I loved the pâté, their bread was fanatic, and the crab cakes had a very interesting flavor that intrigued me. I'm a sucker for French fries, and they were hot and crispy. We were given a complimentary scoop of sorbet (amazing raspberry flavor) while waiting for our main entrees, which was a nice touch. My beef Wellington was delicious and I highly recommend it. My husband ordered the hamburger that had an interesting flavor profile. They mix it up with unique ways of making original things taste new and interesting. The key lime tart was mind blowing. The patio is gorgeous and the ambiance set a romantic tone for our Friday night dinner date. Check this place out!

A great place to have brunch. Especially when the weather permits sitting outside. Food was tasty but service was slowwww. Our guy basically ignored us for a good 40 minutes and when I asked to get a refill on the coffee, I didn't get it, until I called another server to help.

Had not been to Greenbier in a LONG time but went frequently in !970-80"s....that's not a typo...its that old. and so am I. Read some criticize its age but I think the place is cool. Tiny funky bar...awesome sunroom where we had brunch on a sunny December Sunday. Christmas decoration very nice. Servers were very NEAT and in NEAT uniform and very attentive, but not too much. Spicy Bloody Mary good and at $12 a real bargain. I had traditional eggs Benedict....among the very best ever.... came with nice plate of fresh greens in tangy but very lite vinergarete. Spouse had veggie omelet which came with house made biscuit. She gave both an A. And the prices were very reasonable.....both entrees, bloody and a hot teat $55usd....a bargain in today's restaurant world. Great food at great prices in a very cool location North of Boulder. I'm going back.

Food great. Ambiance pleasant. Service disappointing. When we booked our reservation, we were asked if it was for a special occasion. Yes, we were celebrating a birthday. When we got there, we got a Happy Birthday by the front staff on arrival, and that was that. Our server never once acknowledged the occasion. I would have expected at least a "thanks for celebrating with us" from the server. Nothing. I hope that is not the norm for birthdays.

We used to love this place. You used to be able to count on delicious food and awesome service. That's just not the case anymore. We've been underwhelmed a few times lately but thought that we'd try again for my husband's birthday. Dinner was pretty good but as with everything else the prices are through the roof. Up about 40%. A tiny mocktail with fruit & soda water (no alcohol) is $14/glass even at Happy Hour. We were shocked when the bill arrived. Service is also downgraded. Our waitress knew we needed to leave by 6:30 so she was "timing" our meal accordingly. The place was empty at 5:30-6:30 on a Sat, so it wasn't too busy. For some reason she had the bread delivered with dinner and not beforehand. Huh? Then between finishing dinner and getting birthday desert it was a solid 25-30 minute wait. Not because dessert was being made, still not busy with patrons, but because she was literally just talking to the neighbor table for 10-15 minutes about their trip to Rome so we couldn't get the order in. What?! I've never experienced this kind of poor service at a nice restaurant before. We wound up leaving much later than was ok and we were ultimately late to our next stop. Definitely underwhelming and disappointing. Unfortunately we won't be back.
