   My wife and I ate at the Kitchen for our anniversary and were NOT impressed. In order, our gripes:
   -A $10 salad should NOT contain *grass* (no, not wheatgrass, or anything like that - a big blade of plain old grass). I can eat grass for free, guys.
   -A $12 "half portion" of a ravioli entree should probably be more than 2 ounces of food. My wife ordered this dish and we were *shocked* to see that her giant bowl contained 3 minescule (perhaps 2 inches on a side, with minimal filling) ravioli.
   -"Pesto" is a sauce containing both basil and garlic. My "pesto" gnocchi dish contained neither, as far as I could tell, and tasted similar to something available at an all-you-can-eat buffet - overly salted mush without discernible texture. The "pesto" was at least green, though.
   
   In short, we spent $70 for tiny portions of bad food. Never again.

   This restaurant is simply amazing! My favorite is the bar directly above the restaurant called "upstairs" and only marked by those words on the side door.
   
   Fantasticly simple interior design, superb culinary creations and enough "Boulder-esque" in an evening to last you a lifetime! (But I would suggest coming back for the food anyways!)

   I had been to the kitchen once before and was unimpressed. The service was poor and the food was tastless. However, one of my staff had heard great things about the kitchen, so I agreed to try it one more time. I treated 5 members of my staff to lunch at the kitchen. Two ordered the crab salad. One of them had a few bites and put it aside, the other ate it all and within hours was deathly ill with food poisoning. The other who had only sampled hers ended up with terrible cramps. I can't believe a "premier" restaurant would serve food that could be unsafe. "Oh, it's probably okay for one more day" is not acceptable. There are better places to eat in boulder.
