Best Live Music Restaurants in Lafayette

Always dependable for good food and ambience. The drinks are good, the food very good.

I had a wonderful experience at Ellyngton’s. I made a reservation for 12 to catch up with my cousin over brunch, and everything went smoothly. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, especially our server, Dowa (apologies if I’ve misspelled the name), who made us feel very welcomed. The ambiance was relaxing with elegance. With the soothing sounds of jazz playing in the background. It was the perfect setting for a leisurely brunch. After such a pleasant visit, I’m excited to return and see how Ellyngton’s dinner service compares.

Food here is delicious, presentation is attractive, decor is cozy, service is friendly and efficient.  The menu seemed a bit underwhelming to me at first with relatively few choices that I thought I would like, but everything I tasted was fantastic, so I got some culinary and gustatory education.

High Tea in the Atrium was the best. Great atmosphere and Christmas decor, wonderful piano music and even better strolling carolers followed by the jazz combo playing Christmas tunes. Price was high but the experience could not be duplicated. That said, I miss the smartly uniformed doormen and found it took quite a while to get a drink and we were seated at least 30 minutes late. Also, the newly renovated Ellington's is disappointing with such poor acoustics and "all white" decor. Sorry to say that the hotel as a whole is no longer the best in Denver.

Softer background noise level please. The gentle ambience is THE BEST of Boulder and the food was way beyond standard fare. Lovely venue. Thanks
