The Corner Bar

O dear, I'd hoped to lunch in the tony Q's that is tucked on the opposite side of the hotel lobby.  But a starched maitre d'h looked at her watch and pronounced Q' s closed for lunch. I was at the cusp of the hour, so it was understandable.  I also wondered if Iwas turned away to give the only other customers - an openly affectionate couple in smart business attire - more privacy during their Nooner, err lunch hour.

But no matter.  The Corner Bar is serviced by the same kitchen, so the quality is just as good.  The atmosphere is like a pioneer bar with a splash of Manhattan.  Very chic.  I thoroughly enjoyed a long lunch that included wonderful mussels.  Hope to return again soon!.

Fun environment and good food.  It's much cheaper to eat here than Q's if you still want the Boulderado experience.

Stopped in for a small bite and beverage. I got the mojito. Not just a regular mojito, there was something special about it (I can't remember exactly what but it was on the drink special menu) but I thought it was not that special at all. The $6 organic mixed greens salad, on the other hand, was worth every penny. It has raspberries, pistachios, preserved lemon, and was perfectly coated in balsamic vinaigrette. It's one of those tiny salads that you wish was your meal.
