“Phenomenal environment! Highly recommend“

“Wife and i went here for a gathering and the service and food were great. I recommend giving it a try.“

“I don't know whether this is quote traditional Mexican food " but this is the best Americanized Mexican food in town. I've been to the one in Boise but the food did not seem as good as the Meridian location for whatever reason. Every time I've been to the Meridian location, the food and service were excellent!“

“Best BBQ! We love this place. Second visit in the last month, and the food is SO good. So smokey and flavorful-everything is cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere and excellent service. There was an obnoxious table nearby this go-round, and the manager graciously addressed the party. This is one of our favorite local spots. Highly recommend!“

“A luau in the deepest snow we've had since 2017?? Thankfully, it was held inside and we had Mimi Gerosin, Catering Manager, on our side. I contacted Mimi at the height of Goodwood's catering season in December to request a reservation for our January Christmas party. A luau sounded great in September!Mimi guided us through the whole process and with her many years of experience, made it seamless and easy. Incredibly, our food was delivered right on time despite the snowstorm and everything was perfect.Important tip: Please listen to Mimi's recommendations for food amounts! We ordered waaaay too much despite her gentle hints to the contrary. She's definitely the expert here.“

“El Gallo Giro has been a work lunch locale for years now. all the best people go :) Our family loves the food and atmosphere. It's our special taco place!“

“Tonight was our first time at Izumi and we were celebrating our 25 year anniversary. Brad was our waiter/server and he was so helpful and friendly and Fernando was our cook and he was hilarious and so entertaining. The food was so tasty and there was so much of it! My boys were impressed with the sushi too. Everything was perfect and we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be back!“

“One of our MOST favorite places to spend time! It's like going to your friend's home! Wonderful owner who is warm, generous and so much fun!“

Her dedication to her guests is evident in every interaction, and it's clear she takes immense pride in her work.

She's not just a bartender; she's a cornerstone of what makes this place so special. Thank you, Cindy, for years of outstanding service and countless wonderful memories!“

“I went with my friend for Happy Hour! The margarita I had was excellent! Well balanced flavor! I also had the meatballs as an appetizer. They were perfectly spicy, held together perfectly, size was perfect too! (Yes it does deserve to have 3 “perfect” descriptions). I can’t remember the name of the salad I had, but I told many people that it had a White Balsamic Dressing, it was light and bright, veggies were cool and crispy. I can’t wait to go back! 10/10 will have again!“

“So delicious! We’ll be back!“

“I absolutely love Free Spirit Brewing Company! It's wonderful to have a non-alcoholic environment where I can enjoy delicious cocktails without compromising on taste or experience. The staff's knowledge and passion truly enhance every visit. I can’t wait to try their new location! Highly recommended for anyone seeking great drinks in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“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.“

“I will miss my Friday's after work when the Capitol Bar is calling my name“

“I have to give Dylan credit amazing server in a lot of fun. We had some strange cheese appetizer that I would’ve literally thousand pieces of if I could get away with it. My main course was fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. I find myself eating a lot of the bread too. Lol please please please very great option for lunch. Affordable how are you my company? Enjoy the side salad with soup and I really had to tell you, you should order the nitro cold brew with cream if you need to wake yourself up. Again, compliments to the service, and the amazing layout of this restaurant I’ve been away from Boise for 15 years, in a very pleased to see some of the new additions as well as an eagle Cheers! Thanks again !“

“I ordered a large take-out order. My family loved everything!!! Very professional and excellent quality!!! Hot and ready on time!!!Thank you!!“

“Lived all over the US and this is one of my top 3 bars I've ever entered. Attentive and friendly staff, I've been on a first name basis with all the bartenders since a week after first walking in the door. Recently moved to boise and this was the first and only place I was given a warm welcome. Every negative reviewer was probably acting weird and disrespectful loll. Well priced drinks as well“

“We had a great dinner at Harvey’s! My boyfriend’s parents live in BanBury and we have never seen it so packed on a Friday night. There were a lot of new staff training and they handled it exceptionally. Our food was wonderful, I can’t complain about a single thing. We are picky drinkers and they accommodated every request. Shoutout to our server (I wish I remembered her name but she was cute and had dark dark hair) and shoutout to the chef for getting all of our orders out correctly and tasting fantastic. 10/10 tonight guys ✌️“

“I had a business dinner there this evening. Food was authentic and excellent. We will be back.“

“I had been waiting over 5 minutes to place an order. Another person stepped up b next to me and was served immediately. Terrible service!“
