2 Of The Country's Most Romantic Restaurants Are In Boulder

BOULDER, CO -- The reviews are in, and two of the most romantic restaurants in the country, chosen by OpenTable customers, are in Boulder, Colorado. The list, published by ForbesLife, is compiled from more than 12 million verified diner reviews.

“These 100 restaurants excel at setting the table for romance and creating intimate dining experiences at every service,” OpenTable’s chief dining officer, Caroline Potter, told Forbes in a statement. “Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with a new special someone, a spouse, or even a friend, you can count on this list to find not only a restaurant with the right ambiance—but also an exceptional meal.”

Boulder's 2019 honorees were longtime local favorites Black Cat and the Flagstaff House.

Black Cat, located at 1964 13th St., was founded by Eric and Jill Skokan, and sources many of its ingredients from their organic farm of the same name. The seasonal menu changes every day to showcase the best of the Front Range in all weather. Call (303)444-5500 for reservations.

Flagstaff House is perched overlooking the Boulder Valley at 1138 Flagstaff Rd. Three generations of the Monette family have cared for Boulder's elegant mountainside restaurant, where many ingredients are locally sourced.
