The patio is next to the greenbelt with many trees and a pond with fountain adding to a relaxing and even romantic atmosphere if you are celebrating. The indoor dining room is traditional classy without being stuffy. Service is not fast paced nor slow, just right for a nice evening out. The menu has a nice variety without being overwhelming and the food is consistent visit after visit.

Fabulous seafood quiche. My favorite place since I came from California. Never had so good!

Excellent good and service in a beautiful environment.

Excellent main dish (beef stroganoff), however the house salad was a bit wilted. Our dessert was not as described on the menu...perhaps supply chain issue not able to get the cookie on the ice cream? Charming environment right on greenbelt near the river. Most of the staff was great as expected, however one of our waiters was not into working that night - seemed preoccupied and snappy. We became hesitant to ask for anything for fear of the reaction.

This is my first time going to this restaurant and I am seriously impressed! The lemon zest chicken was the best chicken I have eaten, the sides complimented the chicken well!! The service was on point!! I recommend this place! Reservations were made. I am looking forward to summer so I can sit outside on the deck over looking the greenbelt and river.

My man and I love coming here, we come every year for his birthday. The food is delicious, decently priced, and their wine selection is great. Our waiter yesterday was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. His suggestions were wonderful! The restaurant itself is in such a beautiful location. This has to be one of my top favorite restaurants in all of Boise!! ?

Beautiful setting. The food was very good and prices not bad.We were seated right next to a very chatty table even though there was space throughout the restaurant. No server came so we moved. Eventually we were served, but his plate was served at another table accidentally, my side salad was forgotten and then when brought, dressing was forgotten.So today, it seemed like a staff/service problem that they will resolve soon. Our entrees were excellent.

My wife and I used to dine here for brunch on the deck and dinners by the fireplace. The interior is enhanced by a comfortable bar and a country club atmosphere in the restaurant. On the last visit, I dined there with two of my sisters-in-law. Chani was our server. Here is a rundown of our experience. I met my party in the bar and then moved to a table near the fireplace. Per custom, we were welcomed and seated quickly. Chani took our drink orders and made several drink recommendations. After we had time to talk and enjoy our drinks, Chani came back to take our dinner orders. Our dinners were prepared perfectly. I had a veal dish that was oh so wonderful! We all loved our entrees. I ordered a ice cream covered brownie for desert. To sum up: our meals were excellent and Chani provided first-class service. I'll be returning for brunch (and mimosas) on the deck. Hoping for summer weather soon.....

We came here to enjoy the patio and have a glass of wine and ‘apps’ at happy hour. We had heard they have a nice selection for the happy hour. Indeed the selection was very nice and the setting on the green belt was very peaceful. What really impressed us was the beautiful and very tasteful decor on the inside of the restaurant. This would be a great place for ‘date nights’ or those special occasions.

The atmosphere was nice, and the decor was very nice. However, I think it would be better if there was a bit more privacy. Most of the seating is in one giant room. The food was okay. I ordered the Buffalo and my wife ordered the Halibut. Mine was supposed to be medium rare but was pretty rare and the sauce to me tasted just like home made gravy. My wife's was nice and light which suits her tastes. The waitress was nice and friendly with no complaints there. Though for the price of the food, I would expect a bit more for it to not be as plain.
