Met a couple of friends here for dinner. Easy to find, challenging to find parking. It was our first time. We ordered from the Three Course set menu. There was a variety of selections to choose from. We all opted for the steak with a blue cheese sauce. The steak was perfect cooked and delicious. We each had a different dessert and out of the three, the peach cobbler was the best. We arrived early and I would suggest early dining and reservations. This place fills up fast and can be loud. I would definitely recommend this place for dinner and/or a special occasion.

This place was pretty good! I like their steak, and the shrimp taste great! The clams were alright, I feel like it should have a more buttery taste rather than citrus. That's just my personal preference. Good wine, good bloody mary, nice atmosphere. Veggies were mid and the parking sucks. Overall, It's a really great dinner.

My first meal in Idaho was about the best I’ve had in life. Oysters on the half-shell were fresh and presented perfectly. The boiled clams were a bit over cooked but the sauce was a delicate symphony of spices and herbs. The local wagyu steak was yummm and perfectly. Everything fairly priced and served by attentive professionals

This was our first time but it came recommended by 2 of our family members. Our food was very good and we will return. My husband did the dinner deal with the 4 course ans very impressed.

Maybe I caught them on an off night (Friday)? Had a reservation waited a few minutes for our table, not long. I was with 3 coworkers. We had to clean off our chairs before we could sit down. I ordered the ribeye medium well, Oscar and loaded baked potato. We waited for an hour for the food to arrive. I tried my steak, not hot, potato, not hot. Pushed the plate in. I asked my coworkers, none of their food was hot either. Took it home and reheated it for breakfast, a good steak when hot.

The food was very delicious and the serving size is huge. The set menu was a fantastic deal. However, it took an hour before our main courses were delivered. I'm an understanding person, but that was a little bit over my typical limit. Otherwise, great food.

Very nice atmosphere. I tried the trout as I was told that this is one of the local specialties in Idaho. It did not disappoint!
