The Flagstaff House
Restaurant sits nestled on the mountain side at an elevation
of 6,000 feet and was originally a cabin built in 1929.
The Monette family has owned the Flagstaff House since
1971 and have greatly opened and expanded the property,
featuring floor to ceiling glass walls and several outside
terraces. Located just five minutes from downtown Boulder,
diners enjoy the changing seasons with breathtaking
views of Boulder below, along with abundant deer, an
occasional bear, and other wildlife in the surrounding
mountain side of Boulder City Park. Extensive interior
renovations were undertaken in 1998, including a richly
crafted mahogany bar, a cozy fireplace, and rare crystal
collected from around the world. Also new, and available
for private functions, is the restaurant's Vintner's
Rooms which allows guests a look into the extensive
20,000 bottle wine cellar.
Restaurant expertise runs high in the Monette family,
starting with visionary Don Monette who has over 40
years in the restaurant industry. In 1985, Mark
Monette became Executive Chef, continuing the
tradition of fine cuisine at the Flagstaff House.
In 1993, Scott Monette became general manager of the
Flagstaff House, bringing the sharp eye for detail and
the ability to make every guest feel special, complementing
his brother's skills in the kitchen. Scott's training
in the restaurant industry is quite extensive, highlighted
by his degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management, as
well as fine dining establishments in New York City,
Washington DC, and Virginia.
The Flagstaff House Restaurant proudly holds many prestigious
awards, including Colorado's only Wine Spectator Grand
Award since 1983, Mobil Four Star Award, Triple AAA
Four Diamond Award, and the DiRoNA Award.
