The Kitchen on Pearl Street has been regarded as one of the better restaurants in the Boulder area, so naturally, I was excited to try it. It certainly may be one of the better restaurants in Boulder, but I wasn't sure if it was because it was trying too hard to be a 'world-class neighborhood restaurant' or farm-to-table. My thought is they should stick to farm-to-table, then you don't go in with super high expectations.
The ambiance was enjoyable enough, but I found the food to be bland at best.
The
ubiquitous grilled octopus with salsa verde - too chewy, though the tentacles were good mix with the greens and salsa verde and well-seasoned roasted root vegetables.
An insanely dry pork chop with a winning, creamy polenta.
Non-seasoned steak atop white (and pinto?!?!)
beans. At the very least, the chef should have used more salt.
