I am revising this almost entirely from my original review.  My original recommendation was not to go there if one's a vegetarian.  I was wrong.  They have several vegetarian dishes, and they're tasty.  Though I don't quite understand why everything has to sit on a puddle of oil.  
The rest of the menu is a fairly typical list of upscale meat/seafood fare.  Nothing tastes bad.
I know good service is hard to pull off in Boulder, but I expect a place like this to try harder.  It's not exactly incompetent, but it's unfriendly.  In Boulder, it's usually the other way around.  
It's a very old house off of Pearl (not the pedestrian part) and easy to miss.  It's surprisingly spacious inside--and cozy at the same time.
If you want a fancy romantic pricey meal or are on expense account, John's is a good place to try.  I'd personally recommend Q's in Hotel Bolderado instead.
