“Phenomenal environment! Highly recommend“

“We are visiting Utah from CT and stopped here for lunch yesterday. The food was delicious and the service was very good. Great atmosphere and attentive manager in the Riverdale location. Highly recommend!“

“Food, service and setting was really great! The only reason why I give a 4 star was the music. The music sounded like we were in a rave and was pretty sensual. I will probably give another try but if the music is the same next time I will have to say this restaurant may not be for me. Even though the food was super yummy. 🤷‍♀️“

“The service was absolutely amazing from the young gentleman who opened the door and greeted us to the gracious hostess who sat us, but I want to give a special shout out to our server Aidan D at the Eagle Rd location. Thank you She was fabulous. As always the food was over the top good. Yeah, that sounds awesome“

“Great amazing atmosphere, Staff are friendly and inviting. And the margaritas are better than Las Vegas“

“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!“

“My family waited 20 minutes to be seated and another 40 minutes for food. With two hungry 7 year olds this wasn’t ideal.

As someone with 20 years of service industry experience, the highlight was the manager who personally visited our table and comped close to half of our meal. Coming from Seattle and Rome, this type of gesture is often an act from the past and guest experience often seems secondary. You’re lucky if you get bread comped for waiting so long.

I do appreciate the hospitality, the graciousness, and the clear explanation that the kitchen was backed up.

My review will reflect the overall “big picture” of the restaurant as atmosphere felt high end, both front and back of house were working hard and the elegant back drop of the village gave me Anaheim and Scottsdale vibes with the fountain and desert backdrop.

The highlight was the truffle bread and the gooey butter pairing well with the toasted texture of the bread. The salad was extremely balanced and the chunks of avocado stood out with the delicious dressing which was perfectly drizzled.
The olive oil and balsamic vinegar was ok and tasted generic. My family loved the white and red sauce pasta and there was lots of care in the handmade preparation. My meatball was a little dry and I think it may have been sitting on the pass a little bit too long.
These critiques are all minor and I did have a great experience.“

“Everyone who works here is so awesome, amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. My first time was yesterday (12/17) and today I stayed for hours just relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping in to check it out. You won’t regret it ☺️“

“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!“

“Cozy spot, but don’t come here to eat from the Riverside grill menu. I had the southwest salad “Romaine and frisée, blistered tomato, toasted
pecan, queso fresco, and fire-roasted corn
tossed with charred jalapeño vinaigrette”. Instead of blistered tomato it had soft cold cherry tomatoes (not a blister in sight), much of the romaine was brown, and not even a hint of jalapeno. Disappointing. Wish I had taken a photo of all the brown lettuce.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We had a really nice lunch today. We tried three appetizers. Two were huge! The fish and chips was just a bit on the salty side....but overall very good. Oh and the Espresso Torte is a MUST.“

“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.“

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

“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 !“

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