Yelp.com Review - by David T.

2.0 of 5 stars. I'd have to say that I guess it 's OK for what it is, but, I certainly have had much better, especially in recent years. Many years ago (and I mean MANY) this was quite the spot to go to. It was...

Yelp.com Review - by Kath P.

4.0 of 5 stars. I love the Briarwood - 70% for the cozy atmosphere, and 30% for the food. It's cozy and quiet - good for a romantic dinner, or if you just want to take your time and eat lazily for a few hours. The...

My mother loved it for Valentine's weekend

I have found the service to be very good. I never ran out of coffee. If you know me, that means the service was attentive. I branched out and tried the Eggs Columbia, which was salmon in a pastry shell, topped...

Yelp.com Review - by Kimberly S.

2.0 of 5 stars. Frankly, I'm amazed that this place has lasted as long as it has in Golden. Between the prices and the very stuffy atmosphere, it just doesn't seem to fit the demographic of Golden's population....

Fresh Seafood in Colorado! by Rick R. at InsiderPages

I have been to this restaurant several times and it is one the best. The last time I visited I had a teriyaki swordfish dish. The fish melted in my mouth and was incredible. The pricing is affordable for...

Management needs to quiet down staff

I've been going here for 4 years now for my Birthday and anniversary. The service and food always stood out so much. Our waiters were always so kind and food was always prompt. But things i notice have changed...

It's a Unique Restaurant with a Powerful voice

I went there on Saturday night back in September. When we first entered, there was no one at the front and we stood for about 1 or so minutes before the manager came to take us to our seat. I don't blame him,...

A Golden landmark, service is always good but feel they've lost focus of the food.

This was my second visit to the Briarwood, and I was as disappointed this time as I was after my first visit. I think it is highly over-rated and over priced. The restaurant feels like a factory. While the...

NO WONDER THE PLACE WAS EMPTY ON A SATURDAY NIGHT...

$40-115 entrees? I thought I was walking into one of those cheesy 1970s corporate espionage thriller flicks, with dated decor and the medley of cheap looking oak veneer and behemoth discount antique carved...

Beautiful

One of my favorites in Colorado, the brunch is to die for. All the little appetizers on the table are delicious - and they wrap them up so nicely to take home! Don't miss it for brunch.
