Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Winter Park

"Sourcing from several local Boulder farms, including the popular Cure Organic Farm, this moderately priced restaurant is a popular spot amongst locals and tourists alike because of its elegant yet relaxed environment and high-quality food. Known for being gluten-free friendly, not only is The Kitchen willing to accommodate your dietary preferences but they also offer a number of gluten-free items that need no modification, including the sautéed greens and their savory marinated olives. But never fear, gluten lovers, there's still plenty of variety for you as well, including Cure Farm Kale Rotolo with wild mushrooms."

"The Kitchen is on Boulder’s famed Pearl Street, and they pride themselves on the motto of “Community Through Food.” What better way to build community than doing so over brunch?. Try their breakfast sandwich, a classic fried egg and ham placed on a french toast bun with just the right amount of maple syrup. It solves the age old brunch dilemma of sweet or salty with just one bite."

"If you want a fancier, more spruced up meal, then The Kitchen is the place for you. It’s right on Pearl Street in-between a handful of restaurants, but it’s really not that hard to spot. There is usually a waiting list, so I recommend calling ahead, but I cannot recommend this place enough!"

"The Grateful Dead are alive and well, at least as a decorative motif, at this tie-dye styled brewpub that features some of the best beer in the region.

"Fresh, local and organic ingredients are so key to this restaurant's ethos that it led the owners of Leaf to create their own urban farmstead in neighboring Lafayette. You can expect a rotating selection of high-quality seasonal produce, herbs and free-range eggs in these colorful dishes. Their menu is capped off with an enviro-friendly wine list and full-octane cocktails."

"While it may not be known as a steakhouse, the Flagstaff House is one of the best places in Boulder to enjoy a steak, and that’s because of the incredible views that come with the meal. Have your steak and views too with unparalleled Colorado mountain scenes, as the restaurant sits atop an award-winning wine cellar on Flagstaff mountain at an elevation of 6,000 feet. 1138 Flagstaff Rd, Boulder, CO 80302 | 303-442-4640 | flagstaffhouse.com"
