This place sucked so much happiness out of my family’s Thanksgiving Day. We were looking forward to a fine dining meal only to be told by the waiter that it was a buffet style only. We reserved a table two days prior, but I was never informed of the buffet style. We are from out of town. Your $120 buffet is comparable to a $30 buffet that I’ve been to in Vegas. Overall mediocre food that is not worth $. Such a disappointment!

I’m in Boise for work and decided to eat here with my coworker, mainly because they have a happy hour special at 10pm which is $5 off house wines and $3 off tap. I did not think the food would be good, I was wrong. This was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. We started out with the hibachi wings and they FELL OFF THE BONE(they were perfect), the wings came with fried polenta which was good. Then I had the filet mignon and the steak was so tender and buttery it was so satisfying. I ventured out and tried the arroz con cream e raja it was surprisingly good ! Very creamy and flavorful. My coworker had the coulotte steak and Cajun shrimp, with mashed potatoes and asparagus he throughly enjoyed it. Lastly, I had the bananas foster bread pudding for dessert… it was soooo good the brandy sauce was amazing ! I was hoping to find a genuinely delicious and satisfying dining experience in Boise and barbacoa was it ! YOU NEED TO VISIT !

Possibly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had definitely made it to my top 5 out of 20 well worth the price and wait, and the food was immaculate.
Food was amaaazing. We had the oven fired cheese bread along with the grilled octopus. For the entree, we had the 2 1/2 lb steak for 2 on the hot rock. We also did the happy hour for drinks. All of it was phenomenal along with service. Andrew was very personable and super friendly. He even recommended a haunted house attraction to us that we really enjoyed. We will back!

High end restaurant with fresh guacamole made table side. If U like octopus or you've never tried it, this is the place to get it. It was amazing.

The atmosphere alone at this place makes it a great experience! It was my first time getting the ribs, and they were good! The Mac and cheese were great! The salmon was good but kind of basic. The dill stuff was too salty. The drinks are always on point!
Filet mignon was flawless. Great cognac sauce. Fun presentation. Server was fun, attentive, and on point. The look and feel is very sensual night in Spain. Moody and delicious.

We went for our anniversary and the food was good as always! Thanks
This is a very unique eating experience! Presentation, presentation, presentation! The dishes are beautifully plated and delicious. There is a lot of details to look at, making for an eclectic atmosphere. We were only in Boise for a couple of days, and are glad we made it here.

Our reservation was for 9:00. We finally left the restaurant at 11:15. Service was the worst I have ever experienced. However the steak was excellent.

Our server Zoe made our dinner worth it. The entire staff was phenomenal - you can tell they have very specific training on hospitality - but Zoe was above and beyond. She was funny and engaging, making us feel like we were good friends. She suggested we try their new tequila sampling flight, which we did and recommend. The food and ambiance were exceptional as usual, but the service is what stood out. Even little details that are typically missed at most restaurants, such as immediately refilling the water glasses each time they were even close to empty, were given first class attention by a watchful wait staff. It felt like every employee in the restaurant was there just for us.
The whole experience at Barbacoa is conspicuously unique with art that excites a vibe which is almost sensual in nature, but the food and the service is what will keep you coming back.
