Steakhouse No. 316

Greg Dameron

Food was so so. Nothing spectacular. Service was poor at best. Took an hour to get our meal. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted with the "bars is slammed" comment. It was 5pm. We could see the bar, it the entire restaurant was only 1/3 full, at most. Ultimately, I could have gone to any average steakhouse and saved hundred+. I'm no stranger to a great steakhouse, this fell short of my expectations. I might go again, but only after I know something has changed.

Great place to get some steak, seafood or some drinks in Boulder. The staff is what you'd expect from a moderately priced steakhouse. Everyone is friendly and actively attends to customers without customers having to prompt them. The cowboy ribeye has to be one of the best ones I've had in Colorado. The cocktails were good and the restaurant overall was basically perfect.

We had an incredibly disappointing experience last night. We usually love this place and I've recommended it to a lot of people, but can no longer do so. Steakhouse No. 316 is a fine dining restaurant and the prices reflect that. However yesterday both the service and food was subpar. The service being especially bad. Perhaps since we were just a party of two and we didn't order alcohol, we were less of a priority to the staff, but we still spent almost $500 on this birthday dinner and left feeling really ripped off. I get that sometimes issues happen but at this price, things really should be impeccable, and in this case there were multiple issues. First and foremost, after we got our food we were completely ignored. We no one ever checked to see how the food was or if we needed anything. I had to get up and find someone to ask for refills on our drinks. We both ordered the cowboy ribeye, but unfortunately mine was really tough. Since no one cared to check on us we just ate it as is, but at $75/steak this was not ok and should have been made right. We also started the meal with mussels and frites. This was a little messy since we were not given any plates or a dish to place the shells in. The end result was some food residue on the table. In the past, a server would have cleaned this up but no one did. I realize this isn't a huge deal but this IS a fine dining restaurant so sitting there with a dirty table for the remainder of the meal was not acceptable. Once we were done we sat there for at least 20 minutes with empty dishes, dirty table and empty drinks. Finally someone came and took our plates and we sat there for another 20 minutes with a dirty table and empty drinks until I flagged a busser over to ask for our check. Last night was beyond disappointing. The things that happened generally wouldn't matter too much in a regular restaurant, but we chose to pay very high prices for a fine dining experience and got a diner experience. We told the server at the end that the steak was tough and that no one had come by our table since we got the food and she just apologized and walked away. Something should have been done to make it right at that point. At minimum letting the manager know to apologize. This was a special occasion and a splurge and we may as well have gone to any other regular restaurant for a better experience.

Great food and service. We celebrated our anniversary here and enjoyed every second. They were very accommodating with the singing telegram I ordered and the manager acted as the cameraman. Thanks again for a great experience!
