“We had the most amazing dinner & great service for my daughter's 50th birthday. This place is amazing! They made her birthday extra special!!”
“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”
“we have ordered through Door Dadh several times and had delicious meals. Today was the first time we dined in. it was even more delicious. all of the parts of the meal were PERFECTLY cooked. The lamb chops are to die for. The music was set at a level that allowed us to easily converse and still provide a wonderful, authentic ambiance.”
“We enjoyed our time here as the space was fun and the server was fantastic! My husband tried the cocktail tasting and I ordered individually. The cocktails were creative and we could have spent much more time here if we did not have a nice dinner right after.”

“Wow, wow, wow! Best Thai food I have EVER had. Pad Thai Gai and Kau Swe Nuer are where it’s at 🍜🥥🍋🟩😩🩷”
“Such a wonderful experience! Staff was great and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back!”
“We had a large group of 13 dine for a team dinner with the Chef’s family style menu. The experience was top notch from start to finish. We were greeted by name by restaurant leadership, had all of our dietary restrictions accommodated with such thoughtfulness including a Chef’s special vegan dish that the whole team loved (vegan or otherwise), enjoyed many fabulous dishes, experienced attentive service, and felt we got a great value for the price. Thank you for a wonderful evening, Percy!”

“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”
“As someone who grew up in Texas and Arkansas barbecue, this is medium. For Idaho standards, it is above average. Brisket was decent, fat cap was flavorful although the meat itself was more dry 3/5. The pulled pork was well flavored and definitely the best of the three I tried, though it could have more moisture in the meat 3.5/5. Ribs were good, though I am not a huge fan of ribs, so I do not know a lot of critics, so an objective rating is probably a 4/5. The sides struggled. Potato salad was very meh, I don’t have any specifics but it just wasn’t that great or special 2.5/5 (being middle). Mac and cheese was also just bland, about same level as a fast food place Mac and cheese, and the cheese used was very generic and meh 2.5/5 cornbread was dry even for cornbread standards. Overall it was for Idaho standards pretty good since all the bbq places have been a lot worse. If you are just looking for a bbq place and aren’t super picky, this isn’t a bad choice, just a little pricey-er.”

“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.”
“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.”
“Dumplings are pricey, but worth it. If youre super hungry, dont share them. Its a good size meal. I got the saffron green tea and it was delicious 😋 haven't tried a pastry yet but they look incredible. Small space with 9 tables that fit 2 . Yes they have wifi. Was able to work a bit while I ate. Really cute buisness..”

“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….”
“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!!!”
“Outstanding pizza and great service! We will certainly be returning.”
“sitting outside on the patio for dinner with the pups. Dec 26th! amazing people! Great food! highly recommend!”

“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.”
“Dine in | $30–50 We hadn’t been to Vincenzo’s in several years and decided to give it another try last night. With the new ownership, the level of hospitality has truly stepped up. We ran about 10 minutes late for our reservation, and when I called, they assured me it was no problem — even though there were people waiting for tables when we arrived. I really appreciated that they still honored our reservation and welcomed us warmly. Our server was attentive, checking in often to make sure everything was just right. The owner, Colton, was engaged with guests, serving, chatting, offering suggestions, and making everyone feel at home. Chef Heidi’s dishes were outstanding. My friend ordered the meatballs (something I usually avoid), but they were absolutely delicious. We also had the fritto misto, zucchini fritters, fettuccine and veal, all fantastic dishes. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate — perfect for a date night. Between the warm hospitality, excellent food, and inviting setting, Vincenzo’s has become a spot we will happily return to.”
“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!”
“We have visited through out the years. This is a great choice. We like the coconut chicken and the mondo pupu platter.
I love the beach vibe. They have had some great live music. We enjoyed Jason Castro when he was here. It feels very tropical. It is clean and inviting. The staff is friendly. I would highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Great food along with good live music most of the time. If I had a chance I'd stop”
“Bear Island makes great beer, has a cool building in an old firehouse, and is Veteran owned! All are pluses in my book!”

“10 out of 10 would highly recommend. I hired Pedro for my sister's 50th birthday and he and his sous chef Julie knocked it out of the park. The food was out of this world perfection and we had the best time - not to mention Pedro and Julie are so fun and just great people. We can't wait to hire them again.”
“Boise River Catering came through last minute for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. Terra and Jamie were so fun and easy to work with. I would highly recommend using them for any event.”
“I went around the afternoon. The young lady working the drive thru, is amazing! She spoke clearly, at a reasonable speed and, she read my order back to me. I haven't had the best experience at other locations. From being told they dont make a certain burrito anymore that, they still do (just ordered it yesterday) to, getting attitude from the girls working. Like, my service was more of a hassle for them. However, this location (fairview by taco bell), the service was awesome! I actually tipped $10 which, I haven't done in 5 yrs due to the service I would get. This young lady made such an impression on me that I actually felt a tip was necessary. I will be going here and only here from now on. Thank u for ur incredible service. U r 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.”
“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”

“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!”
“Delicious coffee!
Had a latte in the DT Boise location and my hotel carries their drip coffee, both delicious.
Cool vibe, they have prominently displayed pride flags, so leave your judgement at home if you still have any. Also heard it's a pretty cool place to work.”
“Very authentic atmosphere, I spent many years in Japan and going was very sentimental. The staff are amazing and the food was so delicious. I recommend the fried gyoza and the edamame. Kind of expensive but very high quality sushi!!”

“I had an incredible experience at Suite 104, and a huge part of that was Savannah. She was absolutely outstanding, fast, accurate, and clearly an expert in her craft. Her knowledge of drinks was impressive, and every cocktail she made was exceptional. Beyond her talent behind the bar, she was warm, friendly, and made the entire experience feel special. She truly made my birthday celebration one for the books. As a new local from Florida, experiences like this make all the difference, and I will definitely be back. Also, Emma, the manager, was so kind and welcoming to both me and my friend. Excellent service all around!”
“now this place is heaven on earth for people like me (a big back). the burgers here are some of the best known to man. the fries make me levitate because it's so good. the drinks are drinks. but the seating make my bum hurt. overall, some of the best food I have ever had.”
“It's been years since I have been to Goody's. I have fond memories of this place. My adventures with my daughter forever ago, having ice cream and treats here. So when my husband said let's go get ice cream, I knew we had to head here.
This joint hasn't changed in the last 15 years. Everything looks the same. Treats everywhere. Toys adding happiness to the joint. The big windows letting all that beautiful sunlight in. The scent of fresh waffle cones and popcorn. It's truly one of the best smells around. Candles need to be made that smell like Goody's. I wouldn't mind my house smelling like this joint.
We snagged a couple chocolate covered pretzel sticks. And of course we had to get ice cream! My husband got a double scoop sundae and I grabbed a single. I have the worst sweet tooth so the urge to get two scoops was there! But, I knew my husband would share some of his with me so the single scoop was perfect.
The sundaes were so good! It's very nostalgic eating them in the old school glass cups. My husband's sundae had a ton of fudge in it. Both were topped with a hearty amount of whipped cream and cherries of course. The ice cream was so good! It's been a few weeks since we were in. But, I remember it being amazing and the most perfect afternoon treat. Especially having that treat with my husband.
The staff was super friendly. They were all just great! The venue of course will always be top tier. A must go to ice cream joint in the north end. It's been too long since I have been in so coming in for our ice cream date was just magical. I hope to be back soon, sooner than 15 years.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.”
“Lorena and her nephew were great! My sister, and I really enjoyed our lunch the other day at Lorena’s. My sister lives overseas and really wanted some really good Mexican food. She got it at Lorena’s. I return today with my husband, and we both really loved the breakfast burritos.”

“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. 💕”
“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.”
“It was so much fun to have a date night at Reed's with my favorite honey(husband). The tomato soup, grilled cheese and ice cream were delicious. It was a perfect dinner for a rainy day. Everyone was enjoying themselves-families, mothers/kids and couples. There is no better place then Reed's.”
“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!”

“best place in Boise ever since it opened. I can't eat here enough. total soul salvation.”
“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!”
“Walter and I LOVE this place! Especially when Barley is there! ❤️🐶❤️”
“Fantastic service, location, preparation menu, and valet parking”
“Absolutely love it here! The waiters/waitresses are always kind and on top of it all.”
“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!!”
“Food was good. Shrimp skampi with a delicious strawberry mojito. Would go again.”
“I cannot express how much my family and I love Goodness Land. This place always has amazing quality, flavor, and service. Anytime we have a large family gathering, we order their family platters- everyone leaves full (and still have some for leftovers!). Absolutely fantastic restaurant!!”
“Yummy breakfast. Met for our Women in Aviation International breakfast meeting. Definitely coming back!”
“I loved the vibes of this place and the owner!! The perfect little getaway from the heat! I highly recommend the tastings, they’re very well priced and VERY delicious!!!”
“This is where you can get tasty steak at a reasonable, mid-range price. Yes, when it’s really busy, your steak might not be cooked perfectly, and the lettuce in your salad could be browning, but it’s still flavorful. The food is best after 8pm on a weekday or before the dinner rush.
McCall is a wonderful waitress! She’s very attentive and has a fun personality. We ask for her whenever we go! My favorites are the parmesan-crusted spinach dip, strawberry & pecan salad, filet, and Chocolate Stampede with two scoops of ice cream to go (it tastes much better chilled in the fridge at 37 degrees). However, everything I’ve tried is delicious!”
“You fired my daughter because she was not annoying enough! She was a hard worker and only 15. Good work for making a young person feel like crap. She tried hard and did extra work when she could. I think it's disgusting to fire a 15 year old that was so proud to work for you! Absolutely disgusting! She was trying to be respectful towards everyone! Aron, you are truly a real piece of you know what!”
“First time visiting the restaurant this week. We ordered a filet mignon dinner and a lamb shank dinner—both were delicious! The steak was cooked to perfection. Croquettes and big salad both so good!”
“We’re visiting from Taiwan, and everything we ordered was delicious!
The gyoza were filled with pork and came with a dipping sauce. They tasted light, fresh, and flavorful without being greasy.
We also ordered the Boise Roll and the Devil Dragon Roll. The Devil Dragon Roll was especially delicious. It had black tobiko on top, and although the flavor was a little richer, it was so flavorful that it didn’t need any extra soy sauce.
The Boise Roll had tempura shrimp and avocado, which made it taste fresh, light, and really well-balanced.
We really enjoyed our meal here and would definitely recommend this Japanese restaurant to anyone visiting Boise!”
“I was served the BEST chicken Parmesan I believe I’ve ever eaten. Better than Vinnie’s in Asheville, NC, and that’s a high bar. The chicken cutlet was just thin enough and it was crispy. Absolute perfection!
We ate in the bar and the bartender was delightful and was great.
My only complaint is that when the restaurant was remodeled all the windows were blacked out and the walls were painted black. It’s too dark and a little depressing. Comparing it to Chandlers, which has light open windows and dark paint, the atmosphere at Chandlers is more pleasing.
I wish Corso would unblock their windows and let the natural light in.”
“We decided to try this breakfast spot because of its fun bacon-themed menu, and it did not disappoint. We started with the Bacon Shots, which is a sampler of their different bacon flavors. At the time of this review, it was $10, and it was totally worth it. My wife and I shared it along with an omelet, and everything was very good.
We also took home one of their homemade bacon cinnamon rolls and enjoyed it later that day—it was amazing. If you enjoy bacon, this is definitely a fun place to try, and we would come back if we are in the area again. 🥓😀👍”
“Food and atmosphere are wonderful.
Great place to gather and eat especially after golf.
Parking lot is small but there are nearby neighborhoods with street parking”
“Great place to go if you want to be dressed up and have great drinks and atmosphere!”
“Nice small place with a good selection of beers. now they have a pizza kitchen so you can eat as well.”
“I’ve enjoyed many sushi restaurants but this one is special- the dishes are truly unique and creative! More importantly, the staff made my recent visit feel like an experience, not just a meal. The atmosphere and the food was authentic and they spared no expense to make it such. This is my new destination when I come back to visit Boise!”
“Amazing pizza and friendly service, the truck is so cute too!!!!”
“Great service by Karsyn
food surprisingly is really good tbh,
at least my brisket tacos were.
awesome atmosphere and lots of seats.
Good beer selection.”
“Enjoyed a lovely solo evening on the patio tonight at Shadow Puppet! I had the orange wine, which was tangy and bright with a mellow finish. The music was lovely and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Can’t wait to come again and bring my partner on a date night!”
“awesome food and great staff!”
“Hooligans is one of those places where you can show up for a quick bite or a drink and end up hanging out way longer than you planned! Great food, cold drinks, and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. The staff are friendly, the service is solid, and there's always a good mix of people. Just a genuinely fun neighborhood spot that doesn't try too hard to be anything other than a great place to hang out. Definitely worth stopping in!”
“Friendly atmosphere, great sushi at a great price! Love this place!”
“A happy burble greeted me in this haven of comfort pasta on a chilly Boise evening. Thank you Shawn w Uber for sharing your favorite spot! Nonna’s papperdelle paired with Placido chianti shook off my chill. I am SO grateful to Tim at the bar for navigating the many tempting menu choices. Come visit and share the pasta love!”
“Incredible food, ambiance and service. Great location, easy to park. Service was very good, staff very friendly. Food was exceptionally good. Would highly recommend!”
“Huge portions!!! This is not fast food so do not be in a rush. Food is made to order. Great flavors. Family owned and operated, kind people.”
“We just hosted our kids’ baby shower in the bar and on the patio. It was delightful!! Erika, the community relations manager helped us make the day very special! The food and drinks were just right and the staff was great. The location could not have been better. Highly recommend!!”
“great staff very kind I always watch football here on Sundays and BSU games my favorite bar in Boise and great food on Sundays”
“Love the moody vibe from the lighting, the furniture, the mosaic bathroom floor and fun wallpaper, just such a fun environment! The oyster options always change but talk to the staff and I can always work out which ones I’m going to like best! Been a couple times, the oysters are always fresh, love the bay seasoned fries and a friend loved the lobster roll as well! Ooohhhh and the champagne shooter!! Love!”
“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”
“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!”
“Super fun spot. Friendly waitresses and food was amazing. Beer flight was everything I wanted it to be. HIGHLY recommend.”
“Came to this location today after having a bad experience at the Meridian location yesterday. Service here was way better (Meridian location didn't even acknowledge us and had us sit at the table for 20 minutes with no service before we left). Not only was the service better, it was way better. Food was great too.”
“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!”
“We love sockeye been coming for years really enjoy being able to bring our dog on the patio. You’ve changed the menu though and we miss the trout the spice salmon and now you’ve changed the finger steaks and fries”
“100% the best complete 5 star stay and food experience in Idaho with history captured. This is fine Idaho from an Idahoan.”
“Loved this place! I visited 8 Horses Lounge early in the day and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. The place is so cute and unique! Such a fun and memorable spot.”
“The best experience for sushi in the entire Valley. Everyone here treats you like family. The food is without a doubt is on a higher level of flavors and you cannot beat the price for the quality at all!”
“This was a really good spot. If you want some quality Italian with a little bit of it's own flair, this is a good choice. This is part of the restaurant group that has all the Coa brands, but it is one of only two I hadn't yet visited. As much as I love Coa del Mar, I wasn't surprised to enjoy this as much as I did.
I had two cocktails All' Aperto and the La Colomba. Both were outstanding, light, refreshing, and complex but didn't feel like they were trying too hard.
Ceasar salad is likely same recipe as other Coa offering, so it was predictably great.
Then there is the carbonara, I didn't add a protein as I wasn't feeling like I could probably even finish it to begin with (I couldn't). When the description mentions egg in the ingredients I was optimistic it would be legit and it was. One thing of note was the pancetta had a really good above average aged flavor when I tried a bigger piece on it's own. Perhaps my favorite aspect of this is that it was creamy and rich but not too heavy or greasy as some carbonara's I have had. Since it is one of my more favorite pasta dishes I have tried it at a lot of places.
The atmosphere is notably more relaxes than say Barbacoa, and more of a nicer cafe feel. Cole, my server was extremely polite, attentive, and has useful notes on the menu.
One final note, pricing was on the more affordable side in my opinion for a quality italian spot and the happy hour is 50% off of cocktails including those I mentioned. Making this a spot I am likely to come back to more frequently as it doesn't break the bank but is still elevated.
UPDATE: Second visit was also awesome, great service and don't sleep on the vodka penne the sauce is delightful and actually has the notes it should (unlike to many that it barely distinguishable from plain marinara)”
“Our favorite neighborhood pup. We love the burgers, salads, wraps, fresh cut fries, and their pizza is so good! Heck every grit is good. The beer and cocktails are delicious. Love the atmosphere. Catch a game, World Series, Super Bowl or Olympics. There is plenty of room to spread out and the patio in Summer Park a great. They even have a wide variety of board and card games, making it family friendly. We have always had impeccable service.”
“The staff is always great. I ordered last year and again this year. It's a perfect birthday month treat for my kiddo. I love how the shop always smells like sweet vanilla. Got the Minecraft cookies for the treat this time. They look great, not for me to eat but I doubt there will be any complaints on that part!”
“Nice small place with a good selection of beers. now they have a pizza kitchen so you can eat as well.”
“Service was very pleasant, taste of food was 4/5. If I was in the kitchen of this restaurant, I would check the quality of the olive oil they use - quite often high quality olive oil helps immensely in Italian food taste.”
“Our waiter Tyler was awesome!! Thanks for making it a great date night ..”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Aurora made our evening out downtown complete! She showed great care for us and made this dinner enjoyable !!!!!!!!!”
“Fantastic. It can be hard to find good vegetarian food in Idaho, but this is as good as any you’d find in Portland or Seattle. The food was delicious, the staff charming and the ambience transportive. I’ll be back for sure.”
“Delectable wine and delicious hors d'oeuvres! Ambience incredible! The proprietor and her daughter, Rita and Gina respectively, present an atmosphere difficult to surpass. Whether it's sitting outside under the shady gazebo, listening to the bubbling fountain, perusing the antique and import gift shops, which I might add are reasonably priced, or taking in the beauty of this fully restored historical Boise home -- anyone would definitely love the serenity, wine tasting parties personalized lunches or dinners. Definitely on my "A" list!!!”
“The owner and staff were so friendly. The food was on point and I left full and def coming back!”
“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!”
“Great trivia night, happy doggos, fantastic beer selection, plenty of outdoor seating.”
“Easy Five Star! My family and I recently visited this lovely restaurant to celebrate our son & daughter-in-law's wedding anniversary. We've all been before and again, never disappointed. From the quaint atmosphere, the kindness of the staff & the excellent food, all amazing. Bingh, our "chef" entertained us with skill including acrobatic eggs, an onion "volcano" and fashioning a large heart for the occasion as he prepared our fried rice. We highly recommend this restaurant! So delicious, I had the filet mignon with scallops, my husband, the filet mignon with shrimp. Wish we would've included a photo! Next time!!”

“Ate there twice in the past week. The menu was broad and the food was excellent. The manager, Mac and his staff have excellent attitudes and are truly concerned with the satisfaction of the customers. My group sampled items from the breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. It was tasty and hot from the kitchen. I will certainly visit again.”

“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!”

“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.”
“now this place is heaven on earth for people like me (a big back). the burgers here are some of the best known to man. the fries make me levitate because it's so good. the drinks are drinks. but the seating make my bum hurt. overall, some of the best food I have ever had.”

“I just finished a walk up on the greenbelt with my puppy and noticed the sign and wanted to come check it out! I honestly had no idea the place was here. I got a breakfast sandwich and guava lotus drink. The staff was so so friendly and quick service. They have hands down the best quick breakfast sandwiches, I’ll be coming here so often now that I know it’s here!”
“This was a really good spot. If you want some quality Italian with a little bit of it's own flair, this is a good choice. This is part of the restaurant group that has all the Coa brands, but it is one of only two I hadn't yet visited. As much as I love Coa del Mar, I wasn't surprised to enjoy this as much as I did.
I had two cocktails All' Aperto and the La Colomba. Both were outstanding, light, refreshing, and complex but didn't feel like they were trying too hard.
Ceasar salad is likely same recipe as other Coa offering, so it was predictably great.
Then there is the carbonara, I didn't add a protein as I wasn't feeling like I could probably even finish it to begin with (I couldn't). When the description mentions egg in the ingredients I was optimistic it would be legit and it was. One thing of note was the pancetta had a really good above average aged flavor when I tried a bigger piece on it's own. Perhaps my favorite aspect of this is that it was creamy and rich but not too heavy or greasy as some carbonara's I have had. Since it is one of my more favorite pasta dishes I have tried it at a lot of places.

“Creating the most delicious coffee is one thing. But having incredible, smart, kind women owners is even better! You have created such a beautiful and welcoming space to enjoy coffee and special connections with friends. Your shop is hands down my favorite, and my go-to recommendation to others.”
“Food is AMAZING 🤩🤤. Great price, for high quality fresh, homemade,larger portion food. I got the chicken jalapeno popper and oooo it was prob the best sandwich I've had in quite some time. Owner was incredibly nice and gave us a load of bread on the house! Ice cream is delicious as well. 10/10 dining experience”
“I was served the BEST chicken Parmesan I believe I’ve ever eaten. Better than Vinnie’s in Asheville, NC, and that’s a high bar. The chicken cutlet was just thin enough and it was crispy. Absolute perfection!
We ate in the bar and the bartender was delightful and was great.
My only complaint is that when the restaurant was remodeled all the windows were blacked out and the walls were painted black. It’s too dark and a little depressing. Comparing it to Chandlers, which has light open windows and dark paint, the atmosphere at Chandlers is more pleasing.
I wish Corso would unblock their windows and let the natural light in.”
“I’ve enjoyed many sushi restaurants but this one is special- the dishes are truly unique and creative! More importantly, the staff made my recent visit feel like an experience, not just a meal. The atmosphere and the food was authentic and they spared no expense to make it such. This is my new destination when I come back to visit Boise!”
“Went when they first opened and wasn't really impressed. Bartenders didn't know the menu well and the drinks I had were Meh. That has changed.
I have been back many times now and love the place. The Bartender named Mara makes all the difference in the world. Not only does she know the menu, but she makes amazing cocktails. She knows flavors better than any that serve me there.
The have a fun little menu, games you can play and they play some cool music. It is worth a visit.”

“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.”
