Had a drink but no food. I guess it's ok. Good location (if you can find a place to park).
Amazing food! Everything was so flavorful and unique. The fried cauliflower was quite a shocker I definitely recommend trying it. I was with friends and we ordered a bunch of small plates to share and every single one was delicious. The restaurant itself also has a nice look to it and atmosphere.
Overall: Underwhelming. Service: Dismissive. Food: for price point, dissatisfying. Save time, and money, head to Pearl Street if you're desiring an moderate to upscale dining experience.
Nice place, friendly waiters. the food is decent but the portions are small for the price. Had two main dishes for 18$ (salmon) and 15$ (pasta) and it was barely enough.
The tea was amazing. The food was good. I had the Turkish Breakfast. The olives were unpitted however, which was a bit of a surprise when I bit into one. The menu selection is fairly small.
This was horrible! Ordered their paella they told us 40 minutes wait for the best, it was burnt and way too expensive, please save your money and go to a real paella etc restaurant. I'm being nice to give them even 1 star! They also told us it would feed 2-4 People total yoke it feeds one person. Not worth the money.
First of all, I am from Spain born and raised (yes, I am biased). Tapas are microscopic in this place. In Spain such portion is provided for free with a drink, so the overpriced tapas of Aion became insulting for me. They said they ran out of mussels and we were there at 430pm for dinner. The tortilla de patatas was terrible, dry and with a tomato sauce topping (that does not exist in Spain). Pulpo was as dry as the tortilla and by the way, pulpo mixed with chorizo and fries, that does not exist in Spain either. Wine was 3-4 times more expensive than original price in Spain (unfortunately this is almost the norm everywhere here).
I used not to write reviews but I am sick of the quality/price of food in many American restaurants. We, as users, need to stand up and fight for better quality and better prices. Spending more than 100$ for crappy food cannot be the norm. These restaurants are making a lot of money based on ignorant palates thinking that is real Spanish food or real Moroccan food.
Excellent service with big smiling faces. Food is fantastic - something different in an area where most of the restaurants youve seen a thousand times. Very relaxed but classy atmosphere.
Cafe Aion
One of the best restaurants in Boulder. Smaller venue on side street, so great romantic / intimate spot. Locals love it. Scrumptious food with a little bit of a Spanish theme, like tapas and paellas. (Their homemade potato chips are addictive!) A nice variety of vegetarian options too. Super friendly staff. And the best part, very reasonable prices.
Excellent. We never expected such a high quality place right on the hill.
I had been before, loved it, paella is small but the quality won me over. This second time they gave us a table next to a window that hadn't been insulated though, and it was freezing. We simply couldn't sit there, so explained our issue and they just didn't care. Terrible. We had to leave, scrambling to find another table on a Saturday night. Amazing. We ended up at Flagstaff instead. Spent almost a $1000 (yes a thousand) there instead. Cafe Aion server big mistake, BIG MISTAKE!
Service was slow. Don't bring your dog because they will forget to being them water after they said they would. But good was awesome.
The perfect brunch: a phenomenal French press, the best croissants in the US, and house cured bacon. It's my favorite combo in Boulder. Just be sure to drink lots of water because the altitude and that combo will dry you out.
Tapas were just OK. Paella was pretty small for 4 people. It also wasn't very traditional. Sangria was dry and not very sweet. Plus it didn't have any fruit. Service itself was slow as the server couldn't really handle the 4 tables he had effectively.
