East and Co.
Hey Everyone. Because there are real people that work at this place, and because they have nothing to do with the business strategy/approach, I hope this place succeeds! Like, genuinely. Please go by and check this place out.
I've been twice, and the service is great! The people working there are very nice. You can tell the service staff and managers have been trained up well.
The problem with this place is that, from an aesthetic and customer experience perspective, it's completely soulless. It's like some kind of midscale hotel lobby in that basic 2010s live laugh love vibe. It reminds me of so many generic apartment complex "clubhouses." I feel as if I'm nowhere at all.
The food is...fine. It's very edible, but you can tell it's made from sysco staples. Again, the servers and staff seem great, and I kind of hate to hate on any place, but I feel duty bound to ask for more from Boulder's hospitality and social scene. Please more places that feel interesting and engaging and unique...hell maybe even a little weird and offbeat!
So many places in Boulder feel sterile and prosaic like this, and all the places that weren't are closing down. It's sad man.
Still, go give this place a shot. Hopefully this pan will inspire people to see if I'm lying and patronize the place. Perhaps if the owners make enough money, they'll open a place with some verve!
- Your local hater.
