Best Cozy Restaurants in Niwot

Wonderful brunch at River and Woods. Hard to find a breakfast place with French press coffee but R&W has it and it’s incredible! We celebrated my wife’s birthday today over brunch and every aspect was delightful. Small quaint place but quiet enough to have great conversation over delicious food. We’ll be back again and again!

We had a wonderful valentines dinner at Gemini. Even though it was completely full, the food was overall quite good (one exception, see below), the wait staff attentive without hovering, and the ambience relaxed. We had two (minor) hiccups preventing this from being a perfect meal (the way it usually is here): There was a longer than usual amount of time between when our appetizer/salad came out and the entree/sides were delivered. in fact, we felt the need to inquire whether our entree order had somehow got misplaced - but it did get delivered and of course was quite tasty. The other issue for us was we ordered a crab/endive dish that included flavors that neither my wife or I really appreciated - the endive was more bitter than typical (and I use endive a fair amount in my own cooking), overpowering the crab. But, that may just be our taste buds, your. mileage may vary!

Always a good meal to be had at The Post. Enjoyed crispy cauliflower off the happy hour menu along with drinks. For dinner, she had the fried half chicken with mashed potatoes; I had the roasted half bird (no gravy) with collard greens. Both were very good. (She prefers white meat, I prefer dark…so our leftovers provided both of us another meal the next day!) We shared a chocolate whoopie pie for dessert. Great local restaurant and craft brewery that has always been one of our favorites. We especially enjoy the outdoor patio in the summertime!

Amazing experience! 10/10! Would recommend to anyone who loves fresh, highly curated and incredible food. The cozy cabanas were just perfect and everyone from the servers to the chefs themselves went above and beyond to make our dinner experience perfect. Can't wait to visit again and see what new amazing dishes they come up with next.

This is a true neighborhood gem. Try the salmon pasta!
