Hickory & Ash

Was looking for a nice place to eat and this place popped up. Love the atmosphere, upscale decor but laid back. I had the steak tartar, freaking really different and really good. Then I had the lamb shank, tender fall off the bone, amazing! The service was great, very attentive from the drinks to the overall service. Would I go here again, absolutely great place to eat by yourself at the bar or with friends or with work colleagues. I highly recommend it!

First time out at Hickory & Ash. This spot has a great vibe on the inside. I found the place to be well decorated and everyone was friendly. I would say that all of the food was good, maybe a few things they could improve on. They provided sourdough bread for the table, the butter was great, the bread was a bit dry and 5/10. For our appetizer we started with the braised meatballs, great flavor and excellent with polenta 8.5/10. We also tried the carrot cashew dip with grilled pita. The pita was excellent and they were nice enough to bring us more. The dip was very good, had reminded me of a mild peanut butter and jelly 7.9/10. We split the wedge salad, pretty straight forward, no thrills, a little on the plain side - but everything you would hope for a good salad 7/10. It felt like we waited a very long time for our entrees to come out, close to 30 minutes after we ordered. The braised short rib with cheddar polenta was alright, it lacked a lot of flavor. Everything on the plate was cooked well, however two small pieces of short rib which needed better seasoning 6.5/10. The stand out dish was the bourbon & coke pork chop, well cooked and had a great flavor. I personally thought the cabbage that they served it with would have been much better if it was not served cold. 8.5/10 on the dish as a whole as the pork was a little undercooked. We also got the charred baby carrots 8/10 and the triple cooked fries which were pretty good 8.1/10. We finished up with a matcha cheesecake which was a great way to finish a meal 8/10. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. The place appeared to have a nice amount of people for a snowy Tuesday evening.

We live in Denver, were going to see Pigeons Playing Ping Pong in Boulder, so decided to check this place out for dinner before heading to Boulder. Great decision. First of all, I would like to complement Chow, our server. He was energetic, welcoming, and efficient. On Point, without a doubt, and did so while getting very busy while we were there. He made our experience so much better, with energy and food and drink advice. Thanks, Chow, and don't be shy about promoting this server, management! We went there during Restaurant Week, so the portions in the pics might be less than what you typically would get, but that is to be expected for regular restaurant-goers. The drink options were all over the board, and great. My wife had a vodka drink that had hibiscus that was tasty, and I had a beer. The food. The wedge was delicious and a large portion for a starter. Wife and I both LOVED the green goddess dressing. Magical. I got the lobster bisque, and it equaled the magicality (probably not a word) of her salad dressing. It is in the style of less creamy, and more seafood-y (just letting the folks who expect creamy bisque), but I loved it. Sad it was gone when I was done. Wife got the steak, and it was great, but the mashed potatoes are what caught my attention. The onion flavoring, the taste overall...was only sad because it wasn't on my side of the table. My short ribs were incredible. They were on a bed of polenta, and the sun-dried tomatoes added to the flavor flawlessly. The desserts. Wow, I loved my peanut butter thing. I was warned that it was so rich that a couple bites might do me, but I ate a couple of bites, blinked, and it was...gone. Loved it. She got the Matcha-cheesecake item. She loved it. Not my style, but I recognize the brilliance of it for those types of people. The atmosphere was nice, although we both had a little trouble with the WIFI. Good. It helped us stay away from the technology obstacles and we talked with each other more lol... Maybe it was because we were the back table in the back room though. But, that didn't diminish the experience nor my five-star review. This review wouldn't be complete without a Seinfeld reference. JERRY: "But you yada yada'd over the best part." ELAINE: "No, I mentioned the bisque." I highly recommend, and we are jealous of you Broomfield residents that have this place in your back pocket. We will be back, and see you there!

I went for restaurant week and wow! So good. But outside of restaurant week, it is a bit out of my price range, but I really did enjoy myself. No complaints, and everything I had was great! The New York strip was melt in the mouth. Lobster bisque was different and wonderful. And a carrot dip. Plus, their bread and butter to top it off.
