Seven of us visited the Briarwood for dinner last night. Nice restaurant, but certainly not up to some of the effusive reviews I have read. This is a place badly in need of a head to toe refurbishment. The concept of the restaurant is probably solid: good ambiance, quiet, very well prepared food. The value for the price is not... more

I cannot imagine how the other reviewers came to their conclusions. This place was fantastic - the ambiance, the servers and most importantly the food. I had the River TROUT and my husband had the ELK special both with the spinach salads. Absolutely outstanding! Expensive yes, but no higher than any special restaurant, and the appetizer and desert trays were... more

I have eaten at the Briarwood many times over the years, and unforunately the service and food has not been consistant for me to give it 5 stars. I love the atmosphere of the rooms, and my favorite thing is appetizer tray with many delectable selections including fresh gulf cocktail shrimp. My favorite meal is the Medallions Briarwood, with a... more

I kid you not there was so much balsamic vineger that the litte bit of lettuce was floating. Totally unfit to eat. Then after an hour our main course was served. I... more

Where is Chef Ramsey when you need him? The Briarwood Inn in Golden needs help, now!! Where to begin? We made reservations three weeks ahead of time and were seated next to the kitchen even though the restaurant was almost vacant (Friday night). The food does not match the price. We had salmon and the special with steak and crab.... more

This has been a favorite restaurant of mine for many years for special occasions. We have always enjoyed the service, wine, and the food. After several tries that resulted in them trying to sell us a younger vintage at the older vintage price, and opening one of these younger vintages which we returned, they brought out 2 bottles. One had... more

We went to the Briarwood Inn on Mother's day. The restaurant is quaint with high ceiling and open fireplaces. The service is outstanding. However the quality of the food does not match the price. The brunch was $28 which included champaign, but the overly sauced food left something to be desired so be warned the prices are too high for... more

Just dined there while in town for business. The restaurant itself is very nice and set up like an English Tudor home with high ceiling and open fireplaces. The service is outstanding and from what I read the wine selection is very good. However as good as the service and ambiance was, the prices were very high. The cheapest thing... more
