“The Local ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Local in Boise is “a neighborhood Eatery and Wine Pub, offering live music and rotating artists.” They also have a dog, friendly patio and a Dog menu. MW and I visited during Happy Hour, which is Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 5 PM. We ordered a mix of items off of the happy hour menu and the regular menu. We started with Hurricane Popcorn - A Hawaiian favorite - with Nori Furikaki and Japanese rice crackers. It was very flavorful and unlike any popcorn I’ve ever had before. This is a unique menu items The Local is known for. We ordered two side Caesar salads. I like that it had homemade croutons, but it needed a little more more dressing.  We shared an order of Carnitas Street Tacos, to which we added 1 extra taco. The pork was tender, but the tacos were pretty bland. We shared an order of Smash Sliders - 3 smash burgers using our own custom burger blend from Porterhouse in Eagle, with classic American cheese. They were tasty. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a photo! We shared two desserts: Berry Crisp - Blackberry cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. The berry crisp was excellent! Crème Brûlée - Simple and delicious vanilla crème brulee. The crème brûlée was good, but not great. The texture wasn’t as creamy as it should’ve been. We visited early on a weekday, so we didn’t get to hear any live music, but we pretty much had the place to ourselves until towards the end of our visit. Overall, the food was good, but not great. However, they do have a bigger menu than most wine bars and they allow dogs on the patio. The Dog Menu looks excellent! The Local has a nice Wine Menu, as well as several local beers on tap. If you’re looking for a nice wine bar with a neighborhood pub vibe, The Local is worth considering. I would like to return and try their Pepe’s Famous Fish Tacos. The pictures of their flatbread look excellent too. * The Local is wheelchair accessible. Recommended!“

“Awesome scenery! Awesome staff! Awesome food!!“

“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!“

“Food, service and atmosphete were great!! Good variety of drinks, both with and without alcohol. They have wine, beer and crafty cocktails. The special they had while we were there was a delicious hamburger. They have gluten and vegan options, not for everything, but options. Women's/W bathroom only has 2 stalls so there was a line at one point in the evening on a Thursday, but they were clean, functional and without foul smells. I'd definitely go back!“

“When it’s open, this is my favorite local spot! In the back of the Boise co-op or for me and my mate, my French bulldog LilB, their back door is our front door, which is located on Fort Street!“

“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!“

“Great food with exceptional service! Loved that they had gluten free bread! Highly recommend!“

“I'm usually not much of a beer head, but I dropped in on a recommendation and I'm glad I did. The (very charismatic) bartender quickly helped me find something I'd actually enjoy. Everyone on the staff I've met has been super friendly/attentive and the rotating selection's always got something good and interesting on tap. Great atmosphere, too.“

“Friendly staff and great drink selection for beer and wines. Great location for small informal events.“

“Great food, wine and staff. We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Loved everything about our stay. ❤️“

“Wanted to add another good review :-) The most important thing for me in a coffee house is the vibe/atmosphere... This place excels in that respect. The music was nice (and perfect volume), there are so many live plants to look at, nice and tasteful décor, a working fireplace, comfy sofas.... everything I could ask for. Nice!“

“My wife and I have never done a wine tasting before so decided to try it out. These folks were very informative and happy to help. It was very busy the night that we went in, but the service did not seem to suffer as a result. We will definitely be coming back here!“

“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!“

“Service Dog Friendly, very great atmosphere with pleasant blues type music. I was seated right away and the service was excellent. Captain’s rum with a view drink tasted great. I also ordered the Shrimp Linguini Scampi: Spanish Style Scampi with Green Onions and Crushed Red Pepper and it was the best I have ever tasted. Then to finish off got the chocolate cake. Highly recommend this place!“

“Freshies is amazing! The lobster is always fresh and cooked perfectly.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful experience at bodovino today, the service was acceptable for how many people they had working on a Saturday morning, (I think our sever said it was him and one other guy) our server was running around like crazy. The food was sooo good and the drinks were amazing. We had the fettuccini Alfredo and PNW board. We were sat next to the playground which was kinda loud from all the screaming kids but the staff or restaurant can’t control that.

We were just very surprised with how well everything turned out! Food was tasty and service was excellent. There were some other patrons next to us upset about some missing olives and they were reaming our server about it. I suppose some people don’t know how this industry works.

I suggest bodovino to anyone and everyone they have everything you could want from wines to vibes. 10/10.“

“My partner and I came in for the first time and Blake was our server and provided us with the best, most personable service we've ever experienced. The food is outstanding! If you're looking for a fresh fine dining experience, this is the place.“

“Great lunch menu, had the bow tie pasta with chicken and it was wonderful. Good and friendly service, and good prices.“
