Restaurants near Safari Inn Downtown Boise

Good food but appetizers took ages, even the bread. We were on EST and starving which we told the waiter. Disappointing as my teenager was so tired by the time the food arrived she couldn’t eat it. Great salads, fun “fondue” grilled cheese but it would be good to be responsive to guests.

Amanda was an amazing server. Our cocktails, dinner and overall service was great. Only downside was the baked potato was sub standard considering it’s idaho. Tasted microwaved. The whole grade was A-

Dining on Christmas Eve was a treat. The place was full and the service was lovely. Had an early dinner reservation. Portions are a bit small for the prices, but very tasty. Decided to have a cocktail after dinner, which would have been about 6:30pm. In the French Brassiere, the bar was packed. Toured Tiner's Alley, but alas, was packed as well, however much of it was due to 3 RESERVED tables, including one for about 12 people. Didn't know a bar would encourage reservations, but there they were - all empty. Went back to the main bar, had a few people offer to move, so that me and my guest could have 2 stools together. After 5 minutes and no acknowledgement, we received glasses of water, with no greeting. After 10 minutes, the (1) bartender who was obviously overworked, never made eye contact, no greeting, and never asked for our order. Decided to leave. Perhaps someone called in sick or quit, but the manager was there enjoying a drink at the bar with guests.... Just sayin'

We had a wonderful evening. Everyone at the restaurant was fantastic. Our waiter Daniel was top notch! The rib eye, halibut and mahi mahi were all super. The chocolate bomb dessert was amazing. Highly recommended.

Can't beat their pasta and sauces. My husband and I had the tagliatelle with the bolognese and the pappardelle with spice sausage, both excellent. My mother had the chicken piccata with pasta on the side, delicious! I love the grilled artichoke appetizer although a little pricy for what you get. Otherwise the meal portions are generous. The cocktails were unique and delicious as well. Highly recommen!
