National Dining Reviews


The purpose of this web page is to inform visitors to and citizens of Boise, Idaho, of the restaurants in the Boise area, including Boise, Idahooutlying areas and other states, and our opinions of these restaurants. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Bob and let us know what your opinions are also.

We will endeavor to critique these restaurants on (1) Ambiance, (2) Food Presentation, (3) Food Quality, (4) Service and (5) Cost. We will rate these places from one (1) to five (5) stars (). A 1-Star () restaurant deserves the comment, "That's good enough for this year" and a 5-Star (    ) restaurant is superb and deserves a note home to Mom. There is nothing wrong with a 3-Star restaurant - We would take friends and relatives to a 3-Star (  ) restaurant and we will return to a 3-Star restaurant.

"In the end, no restaurant is perfectly consistent; as a result, no review can be perfectly reliable. [We] hope to convey a sense of each restaurant at its best, and to describe its character in a way that helps readers make informed choices. Above all, [we] hope you will share [our] excitement about dining out in this great city. No matter what your appetite, there's a restaurant here that's perfect for you." Wine Spectator, July 31, 2004.
