Weird experience. Went for dinner to check out the neighborhood. Walk in to Springhouse, & a lady…read morebehind the bar counter is taking orders from a family in front of us. They finish, we step up to the counter to order. The lady working the counter just stared at us. We look at her expectantly, awaiting an intro of some sort or any acknowledgement of our existence, a greeting, or to be given any instruction about ordering. 20 seconds go by of us all just staring at each other like she has forgotten what the script is. We finally are forced to just throw out orders at her non-responsive face. We joke about having waited for an intro & she continues to stare. Very strange encounter, neither of us have ever experienced this anywhere in our lives. It was almost as if she could not deign to greet us. Then when the food came out, they forgot the needed tartar sauce then did an instant 180 and walked away before I could also ask for needed silverware. Don't expect any real service here, it's like waitress & waiters light. The food? Fine & why this is a 3-star review. Not worth the experience. Won't go back. Ordering at the counter before service is served also required a tip. Asking for a tip before proving this level of service is scammy.

Going to the Springhouse wasn't actually my plan today. I headed to Hidden Springs to check out…read moreRooted which is a coffee joint attached to the restaurant. On their website, it said they closed at 2. I didn't realize that this coffee shop is only 7 minutes from my house which is a lot easier than heading down State. So, my daughter and I made our way to Rooted for an afternoon caffeinated beverage. We showed up a little after 1. Come to find out they decided to close at 1 so I didn't get a chance to try out their coffee. My daughter was hungry so we decided to head into the Springhouse to get something to eat. To be honest, their price point here is quite amusing. I get that you're in a up scale area but let's be realistic. 20 bucks for a burger? My daughter got their lunch special which was a chicken Cesar wrap and it was still 17 bucks. I wasn't in the mood to eat anything big so I got something off their appetizer menu. The fried cauliflower seemed up my alley so I ordered that as my meal. It was mid afternoon so it was pretty chill. There were a few guests dining there. My daughter and I hung out while our food was being prepared. The venue is very big. There's a nice bar area with a big screen TV. Great for conversation, drinks and football. There are a good amount of tables that can handle quite a few people. The decor was very simple country shabby. I love the old school photos of the farmhouses they displayed. I adore old photos that carry so much history. It's cool to see what life was like back then. My fried cauliflower came out first. The presentation of the fried cauliflower was rather annoying. Like they were thrown on one side of the basket cause it was just easier for them. I was also surprised I didn't get any type of dipping sauce with them. It's humorous really, 9 bucks for cauliflower and no dip. No plates, no napkins, no silverware was given when my food was dropped off. I guess we were supposed to wipe our hands on our clothes and eat with our hands. So that tip that was at the end of my transaction is for.... service? What service? I went and asked for some utensils. My daughter's lunch was dropped off after we started on the cauliflower. I can tell my cauliflower had been sitting under the heat lamp for a while. They weren't hot. The exterior of the cauliflower was not crunchy. The sauce had been sitting on the fried batter too long and it became mushy. I scraped off the mushy batter and just ate the cauliflower with no dipping sauce. My daughter's wrap looked pretty basic for 17 bucks. We also found a blonde hair in her food. We were offered a new wrap but who wants a new wrap when my daughter just chewed on someone's hair. The venue is nice. This joint has been on my to go list for a while so it was cool I got to scope it out today. But, the food was nothing special. They start the tip percentage at 20% for you to get your own utensils, napkins and beverage. Tipping is earned and or atleast be given some decent service but taking our order at the bar or dropping off food isn't service to me. I'll pass on the subpar overpriced food and lack of service. I'll stick to somewhere in my neck of the woods.

BanBury Golf Course is hands down my go-to spot for golf in the Treasure Valley. It is not only…read morebeautifully designed but also rich in history. BanBury, a public course in Eagle thoughtfully designed by John Harbottle III, has consistently ranked among Idaho's top 10 public courses by Golf Digest for nearly two decades. The course flows gently along the South Channel of the Boise River and offers both challenge and charm. It was the first in our area to host a USGA championship, the U.S. Junior Girls. They are also adding a new simulator building next to Harvey's, their on-site restaurant. The space will feature three TrackMan simulators, full club-fitting services, and direct access to the bar, which sounds perfect for practice or a post-round hangout. My favorite part is sharing this place with friends. The golf course is pristine and welcoming. The staff is phenomenal, especially their PGA pro Drew, who gave me two lessons and runs fantastic group clinics. I always leave feeling more confident on the green. The restaurant side is just as amazing. The team, especially Law, knows our order so well that last visit he brought us our Arnold Palmers before we even asked. We always round out our day with lunch. Chicken tacos, Caesar salad, Reubens, burgers -- the food never disappoints. For evening golf or dinner, their prime rib and salmon are standout dishes. BanBury offers a flawless blend of great golf, excellent instruction, warm hospitality, and delicious food. I highly recommend it whether you are there to play, to eat, or just to spend time with friends.

Played Banbury this weekend on a visit to town. One of the premier courses in Boise for decades,…read morethe decline of this course has been rapid since the departure of the original management team and greens keeper. Once the best public course within hundreds of miles, is now a shell of itself. What used to be a destination for me any time I was around, has become a once a year stop at the most. It's upsetting, especially considering how high the demand is in Boise for an elite public golf course. This weekends round was made especially miserable because of two factors the course absolutely had control over. The first being that myself (single digit handicap) and my partner (mid-handicap) were paired with two young men in their 20's, one of which had never played before. Needless to say, he was miserable, as were we. I had to buy drinks for the group behind us to apologize. Most egregious however, was that the course decided to let a group of FIVE people out in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, to film some Tik-Tok Golf Influencer "content". Our front nine, playing behind these folks took over 2 hours and 45 minutes, but then after the turn Hole 10 took 31 minutes BY ITSELF! By hole 14 we had decided to go ahead of them, and then were verbally accosted by the group as if wed done something inappropriate. And all of this cost me well over $100. The course conditions were mediocre and torn up, and it was crowded and slow even without the influencers. Highlights included awesome service from the folks in the restaurant and bar, and the young lady driving the beverage cart. All of which were affable, friendly, and made sure to take great care of us. Also the gentlemen in the Pro Shop were very professional, and understood my frustrations when I went to speak with them post round. I won't be back to Banbury this year. Might not be back again unless there's major changes to the operations and standards at Banbury Golf Club. Here's hoping that happens, because it sucks to see a world class golf course end up like that.

I went to Sandbar around 3 PM on June 14th, and I want to give a huge shoutout to the manager on…read moreduty. He asked three very drunk guys to leave after they were being inappropriate and touching their waitress. He handled the situation like a champ. I was honestly about ready to get up and say something myself because of how uncomfortable and unsafe they were making her feel. High five to that manager for stepping in and doing the right thing. And to our waitress, Merideth -- you handled yourself with so much grace and strength. I am so sorry those guys made you feel afraid while you were just trying to do your job. Nobody should have to deal with that at work. You deserve to feel safe, respected, and able to enjoy your shift without being harassed. What started as three guys having a good time turned into full-on drunken, disrespectful behavior. Six shots of tequila in an hour is no excuse for treating people that way. They were from Oklahoma, Alabama area, i assume here for work purposes. To these 3 guys.. this is not how you treat a lady! Thank you to the staff at Sandbar for taking care of your employees and your customers.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to order food because we had to catch a movie. However, during our visit, we overheard who we believe to be one of the owners (his photos were displayed on the wall) speaking poorly about employees and referring to them as "idiots." That alone was disappointing, but hearing it within earshot of customers felt extremely unprofessional. As a long-time business owner myself, I firmly believe you are only as strong as your team. Respecting employees -- especially publicly -- is critical to a healthy work environment and strong customer experience. It was uncomfortable to witness and ultimately the reason we won't be returning. I genuinely felt sorry for the staff working that shift. Additionally, it appeared that both owners may have been drinking while on shift, which also felt unprofessional. One of them did approach us and seemed very sweet, but after overhearing the earlier comments, it unfortunately changed the entire atmosphere for us. The overall ambiance was decent, and Alex did a great job. It's just disappointing when leadership undermines what could otherwise be a positive experience.

It's been a few years since I have been to Sockeye. It's getting warmer out which means it's patio…read moreweather time! My girlfriends and I decided we needed to get some grub and enjoy the patio weather today so we all picked Sockeye to hit up for our monthly outing. I arrived first and the patio area was pretty chill. Was sat at a great table and hung out till the rest of my friends showed up. My two friends and I did get to peep out the menu for a bit. Our last friend who is notoriously late allowed is some extra time to really check out the whole menu without feeling rushed. Happy hour was going on so of course the apps were calling to me. I can make a meal off of multiple appetizers. We finally got food ordered when our last friend showed up. I got the salmon and shrimp crab cakes. I have left Sockeye hungry before after having dinner here so I also added a side of chili just in case. I was ready to eat! My crab and shrimp cakes came out looking fabulous. They were fried a nice golden brown. So crispy on the outside and savory on the inside. I love the aoili that was on top, it added an extra flair to the crab cake. 3 were in an order and it was the perfect amount. I smashed all 3 and they were so good! I did have a couple bites of the chili. It was hearty in meat and beans. Rich in flavor and filling. I'm looking forward to adding this chili to some fries with some cheese on top for dinner later. I know it's going to be so good. Our server did a great job tonight. Despite the fact that she had to wait till our last friend to show up, our server was on top of it. Our water was always filled, she checked up on us and always made sure we were happy. As a past server, it's hard to manage time between tables when the whole party isn't there. Our server didn't have that issue today. My girlfriends and I had a great time. We enjoyed the food, enjoyed the atmosphere and was happy that we got to do this all on the patio. I always forget that there's a Sockeye by us off of Hill Rd. I will have to check that one out soon to grab more crab cakes. I do look foward to coming back to this location and enjoying another round of appetizers on the patio here.

I had heard so many great things about Hemlock that it was at the top of my list when we visited…read moreBoise. I went in with high expectations...and somehow they exceeded every one of them. We started with the Chicken Fried Lobster and the Filet Carpaccio, and from the very first bite, I knew we were in for something special. Both dishes were absolutely incredible. Then came the steak flight featuring the Wagyu Ribeye and the Skirt Steak. I can honestly say I've never had steaks this amazing. Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and truly next level. The sides were just as unforgettable. The tableside baked potato bar, prepared by our very own "Spud Stud" , was both delicious and entertaining. One potato easily fed our table of six! And don't leave without ordering the Corn Crème Brûlée. It has the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and a little kick that I'm still craving days later. Our server, James, was phenomenal. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the menu, he made an already great evening even better. The atmosphere deserves its own standing ovation. From the moment you walk in, you can tell every detail was thoughtfully designed--even the wooden slats that spell "Hemlock" in Morse code. It's fun, unique, and full of character. So many restaurants serve great food. Hemlock creates an unforgettable experience. You can feel the love, creativity, and attention to detail in every aspect of the evening. This wasn't just dinner--it was a memory. If you're in Boise, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. You'll be talking about this meal long after it's over.
