“What an incredible experience. The dining room was quiet and well kept. The staff were all pleasant and wonderful to interact with. The food was the absolute star of the show. I've been to the Middle East numerous times during my Navy and merchant marine careers and this was among the best Middle Eastern food I've had!
Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible by wheelchair and mobility scooters. There are no steps in your way!”
“Another awesome meal. We go there semi regularly. Always glad to see Craig, our preferred and requested server. We are blessed to be able to go to fine dining around the world. Chandlers never disappoints. Thankful they are in our town! Well done!”
“The last 5 years my husband and I have made this our go to restaurant for Afghani and Mediterranian food. Best naan in town--chewy, thick and flavorful. Service is excellent as always. Portions are generous. Our favorite is the Chicken Tikka Masala. Sauce is truly exceptional. We'll keep going back as we have the last 5 years. 10 out of five”
“The food is very good. We have tried pizza and salads and both were fresh and very tastey. The on-line ordering is horrible. Yesterday we placed a to go order at 3 pm and was told that it would not be ready to pick up until 7 pm, 4 hours later. That is not unusual and sometimes they stop on-line ordering several hours before closing. They either need more ovens, a better system or discontinue take out orders because on-line ordering for take out is very frustrating and annoying.”

“Always delicious, and a bigger range of Japanese food than you can get at most Boise restaurants. Teriyaki has a nice char on it, udon is chewy, and all the donburi is tasty.”
“AN UNFORGETTABLE TRADING EXPERIENCE I have seen, tested and tried different strategies, procedures methods even lost a lot of funds while trying. Until I was introduce to this strategy that got me back on track and I have been able to regain all my lost money and still making consistent growth on all of my trade, Mrs. Erica Bennett Fx, is indeed an astonishing trader with my start up capital of $2500 I was entitled to $26,940. wow Excellent. she steadily lifted me out of my… See more”
“On Black Friday they were able to seat a last minute party of 10 in their upstairs. It was such a wonderful experience and everyone loved the food. Our waitress was also so sweet and very good at her job. I also have to note the sushi rolls are excellent and well priced. Our families new favorite spot”
“Brunch here is my favorite in Boise. The Duck and waffles is the best combo of sweet and savory. Their mimosa service is fun and delicious: tasty bottle of cava tableside with fresh squeezed OJ”
“The food and overall atmosphere was great for Sunday brunch, but apparently they employ a DJ to play music on Sundays during brunch which is so loud, it was extremely difficult to carry on a conversation let alone enjoy your meal. My ears are still ringing. My friend and I weren’t the only people in the restaurant requesting the volume to be decreased. Brunch should be a relaxing atmosphere, not feeling like you are at a night club….”

“My daughter and I came here for the first time today. My daughter had a chocolate tart and I had a blackberry pistachio tart and lavender latte. Everything was excellent and not too sweet which is what I love about middle eastern desserts. We definitely plan to come here again”
“A family favorite!!! In fact, I chose to celebrate Mother’s Day at 3 Wood Pizza and Pub and it didn’t disappoint. Exceptional service, incredible pizza, and to top it off…I was handed a Mother’s Day Rose before leaving. Thanks for your tireless dedication for excellence! Much appreciated!”
“Seriously one of the best restaurants in Boise. The food is excellent. I’m a vegetarian and that can make it tough to find places with more than a couple things to try. Not here—there’s an entire menu. Service was absolutely top notch. So friendly and attentive. It was my spouse’s birthday and they overheard and brought us dessert (which was also delicious). The interior is very nice…modern but cosy and unpretentious. Everything is perfect here…the ambiance, the service, and the food—just perfect.”

“One of the best Mediterranean food in Boise even the best! We had 2 plates: one is called Mushakal that includes chicken Shawarma, chicken taouk style (skewers) , hummus dip and salad! Second plate is called Ishtar which includes falafel, lamb kebab, chicken taouk, hummus dip and salad! Both were so delicious and both were served with rice spiced with Safran! Finally we had delicious baklava that was so tasty! I'm sure going back there! Very friendly owner and staff! Nice atmosphere! Fair prices! They have also a shop where you can buy Mediterranean grocery items, bread and other items! It is highly recommended!!!”

“Ruth’s Chris Boise has been my favorite Boise steakhouse! Every detail from the moment you walk in is on point. If you want an outstanding fine dining experience, make a reservation! You will not be disappointed. Once again, thank you to Don and all of the wonderful staff!”
“Really cool brewery. Lots of seating, great beer and rotating food trucks. The bartenders are always really fun and helpful if your looking to try new beers. We love this spot and highly recommend this brewery. Bonus this place is kid friendly”
“Had a fabulous dinner starting with the calamari and a charcuterie board. Our main dishes included the cacciuco (seafood stew), tagliatelle with bolognese and tortioli pasta with hazelnut pesto, carmelized pearl onions and local roasted assorted mushrooms. For dessert we shared the chocolate tiramisu. Everything was outstanding and the service was excellent. Definitely would recommend!”

“Such a great place! Super easy to order, and wonderful food. They give you huge portion sizes and tons of flavor options to add at the table! (Sriracha, Hoisin Sauce, spicy chili oil)! The staff is very friendly as well! And the Vietnamese iced coffee is so tasty!”

“So delicious! The food got to our table quickly and was phenomenal! I highly recommend this restaurant. We ordered white and red lamb tibs and black and red lentils and loved it. The injera wasn’t too sour, as it was in a different Ethiopian restaurant me and my family have been to. Very good and would definitely go there again.”
“What a fun restaurant! The ambience was great and our server was friendly and attentive, but not bothersome. Drinks were good and there was plenty on the menu we wanted to try so we'll be back soon we can try the things we didn't get to! Food was fresh and loved the outdoor seating!”
“One of favorite places too dine. Sorry no pics. Never think of it until too late. I had the Pho with short ribs. First time ordering. I usually try something different each time. The short rib melted in your mouth. It is a fusion Asian establishment so aside from sounding contradictory, it isn’t what I would consider authentic Pho. If you don’t smell like pho for a day or two, than I consider it American friendly. 🤓. It was still delicious and fresh ingredients. My wife has her staple Kao Sao (so?). Very tasty. The fresh rolls were also extremely fresh. Toffey (sp?) our hostess was awesome. She spent time with us discussing the menu and the chefs talents which we know first hand. Emily, our waitress was attentive and prompt and provided excellent service. We have never had a bad meal or service here.”

“Super amazing! Burritos the size of my head, so I recommend cutting it in half first. They are always so consistent and flavourful with ingredient ratios that are so pleasing to the taste buds. Service is always fast and employees are always very kind. The restaurant is clean and well kept. Please come if you can, it will be worth it!
Vegetarian options: Plenty of dishes without meat, such as the bean and cheese burrito and the cheese quesadilla, both which I recommend.”
“We came here one early morning after a terrible hotel stay and lack of sleep. The server we had was very nice. He was a bit on the quieter side but was amazing. It wasn’t too busy at the time and we got our food in a timely manner.
He was also kind and asked if our kid wanted the exact picture of the pancake displayed on her menu.
Establishment was clean and welcoming. Coffee was hot, it was an extremely freezing day that morning.”
“California Mexican Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I tried this Boise fast food Mexican restaurant today for the first time. I got the #18 combo, which is 2 Chile Rellenos, Rice & Beans with tortillas for a little less than $10. I went through the drive-through. The service was fast. I was impressed with the weight of the bag. I was even more impressed when I got back to my office and opened up the box. The food looked fantastic! I liked that the Chile Rellenos came with sour cream and a guacamole-like topping. They were made with nice sized poblano chilies. The flavor was good, and they were full of oozing cheese. If I was to rate these based on appearance and flavor, alone, I would rate them 4/5. However, the seeds were not removed from the poblano chilies before cooking them. Every single recipe I’ve seen for Chile Rellenos instructs you to remove the seeds. You don’t realize why that’s important until you get one with seeds. Eating a bunch of hard plant matter along with one’s Chile Relleno is not a pleasant experience. I’m not sure if this was a one off, or if this is how they normally prepare Chile Rellenos at California Mexican Food. The refried beans looked good, but they tasted sour. The rice was OK. I like that the meal comes with your choice of corn or flour tortillas. I chose flour. The tortillas seemed thick and homemade.”
“They canceled my order on my way there on my break at work and I unfortunately had to order inside and was late off break, but when I went inside I could tell they were slammed and Leroy in the front was SO kind and helpful and apologetic to me (which wasn't necessary but very sweet) thank you Leroy for all your hard work and smiles. And thanks to all the hard workers doing the best they can at this location, it is very busy”
“yes I'm really impressed with the Jack in the Box on Boise on Eagle Road the employee Irene Jimenez and really good at leaving her kids and her family to fend for themselves as she goes out and suck dick behind back and doesn't come home for weeks she wasn't here on Christmas alone on Christmas just family no mom then wants to go around and call yourself mother I don't think so”
“I come here quite a bit I have been here at night and during the day it's very clean. It is open 24 hours which is amazing .
All the staff that work here are amazing so far. I would say that they could definitely put more meat on the nachos but other than that pretty good.
Vegetarian options: Yum
Parking: You'll have to ask for a key to the bathroom.
They did not put very much meat on the nachos
Kid-friendliness: Family friendly
Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible for sure”

“Had breakfast this morning at at The Chef's Hut. I had no idea this restaurant was even here. I must say it was such a great experience. Loved the atmosphere, and the decorations were so cool. Wait staff was on point, our coffee was always full. Food came out quickly even though the place was busy. I had the eye opener for breakfast and I must say it was some of the best biscuits and gravy I have had. The rest of the food was top notch as well. If you want great food do yourself a favor and head to The Chef's Hut, you won't be disappointed. 10 out of 10.”

“I was so lucky to get to try this place out during my visit to Boise. My uncle who’s lived in Japan is a complete sushi iceberg, and we go nowhere else. I had to have the Godzilla road now I had many other roles and my cousin, to the number of different items the service was incredible!!! The spicy dragon roll was my favorite, but Godzilla you have to try!!! OH NOOOO I SAY YOU HAVE TO GO AND TRY GODZILLA!!”
“Let me preface this by saying I am not one to normally write up a review… But our experience last night at Les Bois was so superb, that I feel it is an injustice to not proclaim the good word about this establishment. Without a doubt, the owner Ben is the heart and soul of this wine program. Quick witted, well versed in the wine knowledge, and just an overall joy to listen to. The people in my group kept saying we should put a microphone on him and just record everything he says. He is so passionate and interesting to listen to. He served us two fantastic bottles of wine. There’s no wine menu. He simply asked what we liked and he conjured up the perfect bottles. The cheese platter was scrumptious as well with generous portions. Overall, a great value and very memorable experience. Good vibes all around!”

“I just had a huckleberry latte and lemon poppyseed muffin from these guys today and spent three hours hanging out and editing photos. I absolutely love the atmosphere here, all the local artists’ work, the friendly employees, the free & fast WiFi, and the delicious drinks and food. 10/10 recommend and will be returning often!”
“I popped into Stella’s late one afternoon on my way home from work, looking to treat myself with a pint of ice cream. I couldn’t decide between my usual go-to flavor of mint chocolate chip, or if I wanted to try something new. I wound up doing both and also got a pint of the All Nighter, a coffee-flavored ice cream. They even had peanut butter PUPsicles so I grabbed one of those for my dog. The gal at the counter (who was super helpful while I asked questions about the ice cream flavors) rang me up and I was on my way. I’m almost (but not entirely) embarrassed to admit that I didn’t make it home before I needed to try a bite of the ice cream. I was in standstill traffic, it was hot, and I had a spoon. Or so I thought. I was already committed at that point so I just took a little bite off the top of the opened pint. And another. And another. It was so good that I ate what I could reach without the use of a spoon, then I had to try the other flavor. Both were so good and creamy that I had to force myself to put the lids back on and save some for my husband. My dog is lucky I didn’t break into his pupsicle. Now to the pupsicle. I gave it to my dog as soon as I got home. His little mind was blown by the surprise treat and I sat on the floor with him, holding the pupsicle as he licked it. He didn’t stop until the ice cream was gone and once it was, he still had the cookie part to eat. He rated it 4 paws up and wants another. I will definitely be back to try all the flavors!”
“Came here for happy hour. The bartender was so helpful and the old fashioned was delicious. We drank in the atrium, which was a lovely vibe for the time of day. There is tons of seating inside and out. We didn’t have the poutine but it sounded delicious! Would certainly come here again!”
“Nice local bakery I like to support. Pies are their strength, both fruit and cream pies. Fillings are plentiful and locally sourced. I hate to admit their rolls and bread items need improvement. Simply put, they taste as if they had no salt added. Bland. Salt is essential in order to make flavors really great. I don’t know why the lack of salt, but it’s why the rolls aren’t excellent.”
“We dined in with our two little kids. We dine out when eating because our kids can be a lot sometimes. We rolled into Flying Pie around 5:45 and the server Cody was on top of his game. We were very pleased with his service…something that is hard to find these days.
Thank you for the great food, cold beers and great service.
We will be back.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I got the sweet and spicy chicken and I swear—it was the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life. The perfect balance of heat and sweetness, crispy on the outside and unbelievably juicy inside. Every bite was addictive. I’ve had chicken from a lot of places, but nothing comes close to this. Whoever created that sauce deserves an award. I’d drive hours just to get it again. If you’re on the fence—don’t be. Just get it. You won’t regret it.”
“I introduced my college-aged daughter to Sakana on Vista a few weeks ago because I LOVE it and she’d never been here. Imagine our delight when we were served our maki rolls on the deluxe wooden sushi boat, complete with dry-ice “steam” and frozen flowers ! It was a spectacular presentation to our superb dining experience! Thank you so much for singling us out for this special exquisite treat! You created yet another lifelong customer with your surprise spoiling! Thanks so much!”
“Absolutely love it here! The waiters/waitresses are always kind and on top of it all.”

“Amazing service! Great Boba! I usually come with my granddaughter and we sit and play word crossy and chill. I order a mango smoothie, she orders whatever she is liking on that day. You can't go wrong! Oh my goodness, sooooo good! I would recommend this place hands down to any other place I have been to for Boba! Thank you for all the great service!”
“Best coffee shop in Idaho! My husband and I go at least once a week. The Baristas and the owner are far superior to any other coffee shop around. We love to go here for the full experience…great coffee, amazing pastries, and excellent customer service. You will quickly become a regular like us if you give them a try. 💕”
“Just amaaaaaaaaazing food and service. Hands down the best hummus and meat platter in Treasure Valley. The platter starts off with a salad, followed by hummus, tzatziki, and straw fries. Then we had the platter pictured. Such an amazing experience and service. Absolutely would come back again and again. Note that this platter can easily feed 4-6 people. We usually eat a lot of meat and we barely made a dent.”
“Great spot with a great happy hour schedule.
3-6pm and 9p to close. Their $3 hand rolls are generously served and taste delicious.
Complimented 6 hand rolls with 2 orders of sushi (the Boise & the cowboy samurai ) + edamame & spam musubi)
Ordered our food and drinks right at the bar for a great Friday evening experience.”
“Best drinks (including NA and low abv), best service, best food, good times, great people!”
“Wonderful service to start. Our server helped us our with beer samples and was very informed about each beer. Had awesome recommendations as far as food goes. Lamb stew was amazing.”
“Nice small place with a good selection of beers. now they have a pizza kitchen so you can eat as well.”
“Great place to go if you want to be dressed up and have great drinks and atmosphere!”
“Great food, great drinks, great staff in a fun place.
Kid-friendliness: They were attentive to the kids needs and very kind. Good choice for kiddos as well.”
“Great food. Great atmosphere and Great customer service everytime we eat there. Always a fantastic visit.”
“Usually like their food. Eat in 9 out of 10 visits. Ordered take out and very disappointed!!! Mushrooms were yucky. So much grease you could pour off top. The filet I got had a fat chunk in it that was inedible. Corn was ok. Ordered steak salad which was good however on bill I was charged full price when I ordered on phone I wanted lunch portion and price. $55+ for filet, corn,salad and mushrooms is very high even in today's economy. Rethinking coming back. Definitely will be awhile. Wound up with terrible heartburn from greasy mushroom which made for a miserable night. Check your food before you take home.”
“Tupelo Honey is an excellent restaurant located in downtown Boise, Idaho. It is located on the second story of a building that houses multiple businesses. It is accessible via escalator from the main street, or directly from an attached parking garage on the same level or with the garage's stairs or elevator. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor seating offering a lovely balcony view and the interior being tastefully decorated. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and we were even welcomed by the General Manager at the front door. The drinks were very good. The Classic Bloody Mary came with olives and pickled okra and bacon could be added. There were also larger, fancier options, but I personally had to drive home. My friend also ordered an espresso martini, and it was excellent. The food was also delicious, including the fried pickles appetizer. The menu changes seasonally, so I would recommend visiting at various times throughout the year! My fiance ordered and scarfed down the steak and eggs. I ordered the smothered chicken, which was also very good, but the portion was enough that I needed to take some to go. The downtown location is a great experience, as there are also plenty of areas to stroll after, and other places to stop for another drink, if interested. Overall, the restaurant is a great experience!”
“Fantastic service, location, preparation menu, and valet parking”
“Goodwood BBQ
1140 N Eagle Road, Meridian - 208-884-1021
7849 West Spectrum Street, Boise near the theatres - 208-658-7173
Here are my three favorite appetizers from the locally owned Goodwood Barbecue Company in Meridian and Boise Idaho. Try the fresh made onion rings with buttermilk batter, the loaded Idaho potato skins and the shredded pork quesadilla. I also routinely choose the made in house potato salad as a side dish when ordering an entrée, which is creamy and not mayo based, plus the not overly sweet BBQ beans as the optional "two sides with each entrée." They have a separate lunch menu section for entrees, salads and sandwiches.
The service at both locations is always friendly, they hustle and the restaurants always seem to be a popular lunch and dinner choice, filling up fast.
Reservations are available for large parties. Just call in advance and the table is already set up with menus, silverware, water, etc. While not a separate room, there are two locations in each place that can be set up. We have ended up with as many as 28 people.*
* note the mandatory tip for groups is now 22% and is calculated after the menu price and tax total, effectively bringing it up to 25%. And, if paying separately, be sure to let the individuals in your group know.”
“Walter and I LOVE this place! Especially when Barley is there! ❤️🐶❤️”
“Fantastic! Would recommend Sid’s we had a great experience. Friendly people great atmosphere and fantastic burgers. The fries are incredible and did not have room for a shake but our neighbour beside us had one and looked fabulous, he ate it all! 🖤 If you get a chance to go do it you won’t regret it! We were at the one in Barber Boise.”
“I came for a Babz Production, and the cocktails are impeccable. The Meat and Cheese board was so delicious. The show was so great!! I will definitely be visiting Ochos more often!”
“Aurora made our evening out downtown complete! She showed great care for us and made this dinner enjoyable !!!!!!!!!”
“The food and service were absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it! Will definitely be going back!”
“Very cute place, has a good vibe, refreshingly unpretentious for downtown. Good food, not a huge menu but if you’re just going for oysters there’s a pretty good variety of options. You won’t get very private seating but it is comfortable enough for dinner with friends.”
“Hubby got the prime rib sandwich and I got the portobello sandwich. Absolutely amazing and our waitress Brianna was amazing as well.”
“Exquisite experience! From the minute you step in until you part, it is a feast for the soul! Simply said, KIN is an Epicurean Delight! Yes, I recommend KIN!”
“I'd give them 3.5 stars.
Drinks were hit and miss. We had 4 different drinks amongst our group, and only cared for one of them. They were beautiful drinks but fell short in terms of flavor. Our group felt that they were off balanaced.
Service was okay but slower
Really liked the venue, especially on a hot summer evening.”
“We were there to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was great. That service was wonderful. The owner was very personable and friendly. He visited our table several times, to explain and describe the foods coming and was just generally fun to listen to. The only downside might've been the noise from the restaurant area as the outside dining was right alongside the main entrance to the building. We probably should've sat inside for a quieter experience by the weather was nice.”
“My wife and Mother in law Have a Birthday in the same Month. This place is our go to! Food 10/10 Service 10/10. Thank you for always making Their day special!”
“They have great drinks! One of their bartenders, Anthony, makes the best bloody Mary, this side of the Mississippi! The atmosphere is chill, and the service is on point!”
“We ate dinner tonight and the food was AMAZING! Scallops, calamari, clam chowder and prawns with the Huckleberry Cream for dessert. Liz our waitress was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and just perfect! The lady who took us to our table was friendly too! If we are ever back in Boise, we will eat here again!!!”
“Amazing pizza and friendly service, the truck is so cute too!!!!”
“Always delicious, and a bigger range of Japanese food than you can get at most Boise restaurants. Teriyaki has a nice char on it, udon is chewy, and all the donburi is tasty.”
“I travel extensively. Have for years, checking out breweries as I wander this country. This is one of my favorite and will stick out in my memory as an unexpected and unique find.
The beer is sublime, the space friendly and congenial, a great little outdoor sitting area, and a man behind the bar that is the perfect balance between attentive, informative, and entertaining.
The one downside on this visit was that their pizza kitchen was down after a fire, which I was counting on for food when I headed here on my way east.
So, that was disappointing but everything else was so good it gets a solid five-star rating.”
“This is such a wonderful place to work. We took so much pride in everything we did. The food is amazing. This was without a doubt my favorite place of employment. The owners treated us all like family. I would not only recommend dining here, I would also recommend applying for a job! I met so many beautiful people and Red Feather, Bittercreek and Diablo will always hold a very special place in my heart!”
“I’ve been to Rustica twice with friends and family. I haven’t eaten anything that I didn’t enjoy. The chorizo burger and porchetta are my favorite. The food ambience and service are great.”
“I know the outside isn't very appealing, but don't judge a book by its cover! Portions? Amazing. Atmosphere? Cozy. Food? Absolutely incredible. Overall, 10 out of 10!!!
Parking: Decent amount of parking spots!”
“Super fun spot. Friendly waitresses and food was amazing. Beer flight was everything I wanted it to be. HIGHLY recommend.”
“Great trivia night, happy doggos, fantastic beer selection, plenty of outdoor seating.”
“My husband and I recently went in to Copenross Crafthouse and Grill before going to a concert at the Boise open. They were really busy because of concert, but that didn’t stop them from helping and serving every customer they could with ease! We had a wait time of 30 minutes for our finger steaks, but that was to be expected. The finger steaks were very good and we throughly enjoyed them! They have 60 taps that was an amazing selection of all types of craft beer, malts, Nitro, IPAs, sours, Ciders and seltzers. If you had a question about liking one, they offered a small taste. All of the selections my hubby and I tried were very good! We sat at the bar and the owner noticed that we were waiting. He was kind enough to give us 2 free drink tokens because of our wait. I highly recommend this establishment! We will definitely be back!”

“I’ve eaten here probably 50+ times and everything is so delicious! Made from scratch. Best Mexican food in Boise!!”
“We sat on the patio which was a delight - the patio is beautifully decorated with plenty of flowers. The food was great, the patio was great. The server was nice, just a bit difficult to find when something was needed. The only thing I wouldn't order again would be the frose. It was simply a fruit ice cube with rose poured over - not like any frose I've ever had before.”
“Here’s a polished review you could use for Diablo and Sons: Review for Diablo & Sons We had a fantastic experience at Diablo and Sons! The customer service was top-notch—Jess, the manager, was incredibly attentive and welcoming, and Jill, our new server, did a wonderful job making sure we were taken care of. There were a few minor delays, but that’s to be expected on a beautiful Saturday evening out on the patio. The atmosphere made up for it, and the drinks were absolutely on point. We tried the Bloody Mary, a couple of Hemingways, margaritas, and the Dusty Trail—all were excellent and expertly crafted. For dinner, we went with the spicy chicken sandwiches, fish and chips, and skirt steak tacos. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The spicy chicken had the perfect kick, and the tacos were a definite standout. Looking forward to our next visit already! Highly recommend for a relaxed vibe, great drinks, and excellent service.”
“Three of my friends and I sat in the bar on August 19th. We had drinks and appetizers. The ribs were just delicious and we loved the bacon cheese fries! The service was superb! Fernando took care of us. He was so pleasant and beyond efficient! We will definitely be going back soon!”
“Visited Tavolata last night. Tried many things - burrata, bruschetta, foccacia, meatballs, Tavolata salad. Everything was delicious. Cocktails & house wine were also amazing. Really enjoyed it. Happy hour is an excellent value - we will be back soon!”

“Our wedding reception at The Lively Boise was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for a perfect lunch. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant yet inviting. The Staff at The Lively were attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. The food was simply exquisite. From the hors d'oeuvres to the main course and desserts, each dish was expertly prepared and presented with flair by Executive Chef Edward Higgins. Our guests raved about the quality and taste, and many commented that it was some of the best food they've had at a wedding. What impressed us most was the personalized service we received. The team at The Lively, specially the Director of Event Sales Missy Goode from the moment we first inquired until our wedding day, Missy has been nothing short of exceptional. Her dedication to ensuring our wedding day was extra special was truly amazing. Missy's top-notch professionalism and unwavering support made a significant difference throughout the planning process. I highly recommend The Lively Boise, especially thanks to Missy's invaluable assistance. The server who assisted us that day, Grace, was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and reassuring. She ensured that every aspect of our experience, from food to drinks, was of the highest standard. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly made our day unforgettable. Grace's exceptional service was nothing short of wonderful. Overall, our experience at The Lively Boise exceeded our expectations in every way. It was more than just a meal—it was an unforgettable dining experience that added to the magic of our wedding day. We are immensely grateful to the entire team at The Lively Boise for their dedication and expertise in making our celebration truly exceptional. We would highly recommend The Lively Boise to anyone looking for a venue that offers outstanding cuisine, impeccable service, and a memorable atmosphere for their special day.”
“This food was amazing. We had some fajitas catered. But the guac, salsa, all of it was great. :)”
“This is our stop for when my GF returns home from a work travel and gets in late.
Happy hour is always good but the prices went up! Portions may be smaller.
Checked out the new New Orleans special. If you like a little bit of spice and Cajun 🌶️. Try the new menu items.”
“Barrel steak had a unique taste that I really enjoyed. Good steak to start with made better with the marinade and cooking. Salad and soup bar was good as well.”
“On our way back from McCall we stopped in to eat. I had the Philly (highly recommend) my wife and the pizza roles and our daughter had cheese pizza. The entire meal was good. We will be coming back as it is a nice place to eat and the food is so yummy.”
“My lady said the salmon was some of the best she has ever had. My trout was very tasty as well. Entrees come with choice of sides or salads - salads are very nice. Dishes somewhat lacked presentation.”
“Went there and had some great drinks late night yesterday. Solid place to round out the night and chill out, plus their kitchen was open late and that's always a plus. Shout-out to Sam for being a cool waitress, and being very friendly to myself and my very drunk friends.”
“Freshies is amazing! The lobster is always fresh and cooked perfectly.”
“The blanquette de veau is one of the most flavorful and interesting dishes I have had in my life. The veal, lasagna, and osso bucco are all top tier! And don’t forget about the white chocolate shortbread cake for dessert.”
“Thought my bday was ruined bc they were out of pretzels, but Janae was so slay and incredible with her service that it saved the day! Purrr.

“The last 5 years my husband and I have made this our go to restaurant for Afghani and Mediterranian food. Best naan in town--chewy, thick and flavorful. Service is excellent as always. Portions are generous. Our favorite is the Chicken Tikka Masala. Sauce is truly exceptional. We'll keep going back as we have the last 5 years. 10 out of five”
“The service as amazing I eat black bear in moore ok 4 times a week I was on vacation an stopped in for a Bigfoot breakfast kim was my server she is amazing you need more like her the food is very consistent but the service was above an beyond not what we get in okc”
“This is such a wonderful place to work. We took so much pride in everything we did. The food is amazing. This was without a doubt my favorite place of employment. The owners treated us all like family. I would not only recommend dining here, I would also recommend applying for a job! I met so many beautiful people and Red Feather, Bittercreek and Diablo will always hold a very special place in my heart!”
“I love this place, the food and service has always been top notch every time I have gone in for a meal. The only thing that would improve the atmosphere would be more cloth or sound deadening products to help with all the noise that happens when it’s packed full of people. It’s so busy sometimes that it’s tough to talk to and hear the people you are dining with. That is the only negative thing I can say. The food portions are generous, I often bring leftovers home for later. The food is excellent and my servers have always been attentive and nice.”
“Amazing service! Great Boba! I usually come with my granddaughter and we sit and play word crossy and chill. I order a mango smoothie, she orders whatever she is liking on that day. You can't go wrong! Oh my goodness, sooooo good! I would recommend this place hands down to any other place I have been to for Boba! Thank you for all the great service!”

“Always a great experience here! The customer service is top-notch everyone’s friendly and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Orders are always ready quickly, and the cookies? Always fresh, warm, and delicious. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back!”
“Maren saved this 1 star review, and changed it to a 5 star review! Our initial waitress was terrible. Was very curt with us. Never brought breadsticks, refilled our waters, and food was cooked wrong. Over all just wasn’t taken care of. The girl who ran our food, Maren, was outstanding. Got us our refills and our bread sticks. Along with taking my over cooked steak off our tab along with our appetizer just to make up for the lack of service. She went above and beyond. Got us a free dessert and a $25 gift card. It was my birthday dinner and she saved it! Thank you, Maren. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is important to you. If I knew the first servers name, I’d leave it in the review so people know what to expect when getting served by her. Thank you Olive Garden for turning our initially horrible experience into the best experience we’ve had here! We will be back. (:”
“A family favorite!!! In fact, I chose to celebrate Mother’s Day at 3 Wood Pizza and Pub and it didn’t disappoint. Exceptional service, incredible pizza, and to top it off…I was handed a Mother’s Day Rose before leaving. Thanks for your tireless dedication for excellence! Much appreciated!”
“California Mexican Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I tried this Boise fast food Mexican restaurant today for the first time. I got the #18 combo, which is 2 Chile Rellenos, Rice & Beans with tortillas for a little less than $10. I went through the drive-through. The service was fast. I was impressed with the weight of the bag. I was even more impressed when I got back to my office and opened up the box. The food looked fantastic! I liked that the Chile Rellenos came with sour cream and a guacamole-like topping. They were made with nice sized poblano chilies. The flavor was good, and they were full of oozing cheese. If I was to rate these based on appearance and flavor, alone, I would rate them 4/5. However, the seeds were not removed from the poblano chilies before cooking them. Every single recipe I’ve seen for Chile Rellenos instructs you to remove the seeds. You don’t realize why that’s important until you get one with seeds. Eating a bunch of hard plant matter along with one’s Chile Relleno is not a pleasant experience. I’m not sure if this was a one off, or if this is how they normally prepare Chile Rellenos at California Mexican Food. The refried beans looked good, but they tasted sour. The rice was OK. I like that the meal comes with your choice of corn or flour tortillas. I chose flour. The tortillas seemed thick and homemade.”

“Seriously one of the best restaurants in Boise. The food is excellent. I’m a vegetarian and that can make it tough to find places with more than a couple things to try. Not here—there’s an entire menu. Service was absolutely top notch. So friendly and attentive. It was my spouse’s birthday and they overheard and brought us dessert (which was also delicious). The interior is very nice…modern but cosy and unpretentious. Everything is perfect here…the ambiance, the service, and the food—just perfect.”

“Great spot with a great happy hour schedule.
3-6pm and 9p to close. Their $3 hand rolls are generously served and taste delicious.
Complimented 6 hand rolls with 2 orders of sushi (the Boise & the cowboy samurai ) + edamame & spam musubi)
Ordered our food and drinks right at the bar for a great Friday evening experience.”
“I'd give them 3.5 stars.
Drinks were hit and miss. We had 4 different drinks amongst our group, and only cared for one of them. They were beautiful drinks but fell short in terms of flavor. Our group felt that they were off balanaced.
Service was okay but slower
Really liked the venue, especially on a hot summer evening.”
“Fantastic service (wish I remembered her name), she was incredible in suggesting drinks. The ambiance was relaxing, and the drinks were so creative! A place worth visiting!!!”
