Wow what a view...I came here with a group of coworkers to enjoy the view, eat some appetizers and talk a little business. It was raining the day we stopped by so we had to sit inside, but hope to go again to enjoy the outside patio. The interior is very cozy and the staff very friendly. We order three different appetizers Baked Brie En Croute, Tempura Green Beans and Baked Crab, Shrimp And Artichoke Dip. All three were very tasty, but my favorite was the Baked Brei. There was plenty of food to tied us all over before we made our trip back home to Boise. Hope to come back and sit on the patio with a glass of wine and enjoy the beautiful view. read more

My husband and I were kidding each other and saying did we die and go to heaven. The food is as spectacular as the view. We had the lamb and the trout! Magnificent! I give it, Malorie our waiter, and the drinks all stars! read more

The view was stupendous! I ate outside with a great view and delicious food! I wish I had known sooner that Twin Falls has such a great restaurant not far off the freeway for when I'm driving through! read more

Love coming here. Amazing views and staff. Our server was Cody, and he was just fantastic. Our drinks were always full and he made sure to make us feel comfortable. read more

Twin Falls, Idaho Came here for dinner while on a road trip (Eclipse). Spectacular location on the Snake River gorge. However looking down into the canyon you see a.... golf course. So less than spectacular then. Appetizers were good, one could make a meal of them alone. I ordered prime rib, because they had end cuts. When it came out I realized that this did not look like the well cooked and spiced end cuts that I've been familiar with all my life. It is a different style of cooking where the end is essentially cooked identical to the rest of the roast. The meat was dense and hard to slice, although not too difficult to chew, but definitely a lot of chewing required. Flavor was good, yes. Perhaps this style of prime rib is what's popular here, but I like an end cut that I can cut with a fork, just my preference. Could not eat it all because the dense texture of the meat made it very filling. Was not sure if this cut of beef actually came from the rib cage. In the state of Black Angus I was expecting something special. And for $34 I would probably choose something else. The dessert was an apple crisp. The apples were not quite cooked and lost some flavor because of that. The crust was not crisp. It was chewy. Maybe just cook it all a little bit longer? Excellent service even though they had to move people in from the patio due to a sudden rainstorm. read more

Great value for your money. Beautiful view! Dress attire casual. That laid back Idaho feel. Very friendly staff. Great ambiance! Drinks are delicious! One downside made reservations in December and was put in back room with a semi view of canyon. If you make reservations specify you would like a seat by the window it is not an option online so leave it in message box. Other than that, fantastic! read more

The view is amazing!!!! that's the best thing about this restaurant..... you have a whole view of a canyon and the Snake River unbelievable.... service was pretty slow took a long time to get the food out.... I ordered the burger bacon smoked gouda it was pretty good.... A lot of meat haha and it filled you up... the bottom bun was a little soggy from all the juice from the meat ...wasn't my type... the high end quality of food is definitely there.... not bad for a $12 Burger ....but props to these chefs some of the best french fries I've ever had .....I got to get that secret recipe... man that was amazing!!!! read more

It's not often you'll find me writing a review for a restaurant in Idaho. I live in the Bay Area. But I don't understand why this place only gets 3 stars. It is probably the best food in town. We were on a 3800 mile road trip and while we were in Reno we met a native of Twin Fall who told us to go here. We had driven for hundreds of miles through a veritable dearth of any decent food. I was almost put off by the poor reviews but I'm glad I was not. The service was warm, friendly and prompt. The food was very tasty, and the view was amazing. It's a beautiful building on the edge of a very dramatic canyon. We enjoyed the beautiful view as the sun set. Is it the kind of 5 star cuisines you would get in the Bay Area? No. Is it solid, tasty, healthy made with local ingredients? Yes! And is the best food for hundreds of miles? Yes, yes! The view alone was worth 5 stars. I loved the huckleberry butter with the bread. We had a nice fresh salad and a burger without a bun. It was very good but I wish I had ordered the Idaho Trout. I saw the table next to me eating it and it looked yummy. Our server Blanca was also amazing. When you are tired and road weary it is wonderful to be so well taken care of. She recommended we go to Shoshone Falls. We did the next day. I would have missed this local gem if it was not for her. I say if you are in Twin Falls this place is not to missed! read more

Had the ribeye steak and it was very good. We enjoyed everything, although we got the feeling that the soup and appetizers were the same items we had sampled at Costco the week before... This is a nice restaurant with good food. We'll be eating there again soon. Update 9/10/2011: Ate here tonight and it was really bad. I gave it 4 stars before, now i give it two. It was that bad. I ordered the ribeye again and I don't know what they brought but it wasn't a ribeye. It was horrible. Other people in our party of 6 received cold sides and similarly bad steaks. Very disappointing. For the price we paid I expected much better food. Probably my last time eating here. read more

Food was excellent! Baked Bree with garlic was the best I've ever had. Tyler, our server made our night! He was the friendliest and most delightful person we've met across our 4 state road trip and by far! Thank you! We'll be back! read more

1 feels like you home with great people that work there 2 views of the canyon incredible (especially if you don't live in the area) 3 a lot of drinks and foods to choose from 4 place is very nicely decorated,clean and even has outside fire pit at night read more

This place was amazing and I am really surprised by the 3 star rating and other peoples comments. The food was delicious! We started with spinach and caesar salads and they were tasty. The rolls and huckleberry butter were fantastic! For dinner we had the trout and pork tenderloin dishes. Both dishes were prepared well and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We shared a bottle of wine and dessert. All this for $70 seemed like a smokin deal! The hostess who seated us was snotty, she was young and seemed to have an attitude. Our waitress on the other hand was fabulous and made our evening very enjoyable. The view from this place is spectacular and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Twin Falls. Make sure to sit outside if the weather permits! read more

What really sets this place apart is the spectacular view of the Perrine bridge and the gorge. The location is great but I found the food to be sub-par for an upscale restaurant. The ceviche was lacking in flavor, it just didn't have enough like to make the sweetness of the shrimp really pop. I had the ribeye and ordered it medium rare, what I received was a ribeye that was medium in some parts and rare in others, so the medium parts were tougher than I prefer and the rest was bloodier than I like. I think this is a consequence of the thickness of the steak, whenever I have ordered ribeye it is a minimum 1-inch thick center-cut, which makes achieving a balance between medium and rare possible. The seafood linguine my companion ate was very delicious and had an abundance of mussels and clams. read more

Food was supbar and service was worse. Manager took care of things but would not recommend.

I moved to Twin Falls nearly 20 years ago. Until yesterday, I struggled to recommend a finer dining option in Twin Falls. I would always suggest the Plateau Room in Jackpot if you wanted a great experience and were willing to drive 45 miles. Locally, I found the price, comfort, and quality of food at Rock Creek to be most appealing amongst the limited choices. Elevation 486 has altered everything. Absolutely wonderful food from start to finish. There were a few steps of service that I felt took away from what was damn near perfect. As an example, the soup was served with a package of oyster crackers. This felt very fast-food like. High quality filet mignon served to the correct temp and seasoned to perfection. A wonderful cut of prime rib served at 900pm that was still medium rare. Bread and salad were both exceptional as well. We had a filet, prime rib, an app, and a bottle of wine for $85 and it was worth every single dollar. If you want a so-so meal at a discount price, go elsewhere. If you want an exceptional meal, go no nowhere else but here. read more

Fabulous location, friendly staff, and a terrific place to get a cocktail, especially outdoors on a pleasant day but the food is so-so at best. Still, we take visitors here because of the location and views. I wish they would work on their menu, prep, and plating. It has all the potential for a great restaurant but they have a ways to go IMO. read more

I remember the food being pretty good, I would definitely recommend it for that. However I was a little irked when I got there and they could not find our reservation. read more

Great place, Great View, and good food. The view is absolutely incredible, looking down into the canyon, right from the deck of the restaurant. Pretty small menu, but overall everything we had was great. read more

Had a great birthday dinner on the outside deck last night. Danielle was very attentive, pleasant and helpful with the menu. We had the meatloaf, ribeye, crab and shrimp dip, brownie, and berry crisp desserts. Everything was excellent! Great view of the canyon. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back! read more

So good!! Great service! The steak pasta and fried Green beans are the best! Definitely will continue to go here...can't wait for the summer on the patio! read more

This is a very nice place to take in the view. The patio is quite exquisite, overlooking the basin, which is strikingly beautiful when the sun sets. The only problem is the crazy bees that swarm around you when you are eating (They don't sting). That was my only issue. The food was good. I ordered the King Salmon which is quite satisfying with the Jasmine rice. It could have been toned down on the grease or dressing on it, but for the atmosphere (minus the bees), the view, and the music, I give it 4 starts and very much worth the visit. read more

Elevation 486 - Breathtaking view - Bars Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

Definitely worth the view of the great scenery. Our food was slight undercooked but the service and drinks were great.

We read the reviews and decided to give Elevation 486 a try. We were on our way from Fort Collins, CO to Sun Valley to join up with family members and we spent the night in Twin Falls. We know the Sawtooth Club in Ketchum and were pleased to find out this is the sister restaurant. We arrived at 7:15PM without a reservation and were promptly taken to our table. The dining area was full and we noticed the bar area on the way in was not. We asked to be moved to the bar and got a fantastic table with an evening view of the area. We ordered the ribs and meatloaf and a bottle of wine. The wine selection is good. I do not order ribs often (usually at the County Line in Austin, TX) and I thought these were very tender but maybe not as flavorful as some I've had. The meatloaf was fantastic. It pushed the boundaries on flavors and was a bit spicy - something to order again. I'm glad to know of this restaurant in Twin Falls as previous culinary excursions have been disappointing. My rating is really a 3 1/2 but I'm marking a four because I think the patio dining and other aspects we didn't have time to explore will make this an eating place of choice when we drive through again. read more

Was told I needed reservations or the wait for patio was 20 minutes so I sat in the bar area and there were 10 patio tables open the whole time. Was kind of frustrated and the table next to me was saying the same thing. read more

Good wine selection, both by the glass and by the bottle. Rolls with huckleberry butter is a nice extra touch The roast quail with sauce was sweet and slightly spicy. Smashed garlic potatoes were ok. The tomato basil soup was lightly spiced. Could have been a little creamier, but was still good, just not great. Server was friendly, but busy restaurant meant that the wine was a little slow, but within tolerance. Even though you can't eat the view, it does enhance the ambiance. Wi-fi access was not readily available. Food and prices were appropriate for a 4 star. Didn't find prices out of line with what we have been paying across 8 states over the last three weeks. read more

This restaurant is about as high class as Twin Falls gets. They have a very impressive menu with amazing specials daily. It's not terribly expensive and the service is as good as it gets. Whether you're having a steak or a fresh fish item, you will not be disappointed. Dress is very casual. I will definitely have dinner here the next time I'm in Twin Falls. Oh and did I mention the view? This place has an amazing 180 degree view of the Snake River. See my pic posted here. This is a great place to take someone for that special night out. read more

Elevation 486 - The view of the Snake River from the deck - Bars Near Me - Twin Falls, Idaho

Place is actually a bit upscale for my taste. Beer's expensive, selection not wide. Trended heavily toward IPAs, the flavor of which I will not describe. My steak was a little bland and a little undercooked, although honestly I'd eat one that was barely warm, anyway. The mashed potatoes where gooey, reminding my why baked is really the way to go when you're at a restaurant. the decor is very nice, and the view fantastic. Our server was great. Sat outside even though it was a bit chilly. I'll probably give them another shot in the future, although I suspect it won't my idea, as it was not this time. read more

First the view of this restaurant is breathtaking we ordered ribeye and prime rib each one comes with one side and soup or salad dont the service is kind of slow dont expect your bill to be under $75. read more

I'm a bit of a food snob and I was impressed with the quality level of food here. The steak was cooked to perfection, the steamed clams were some of the best I've ever had, the duck was to die for, and the desert was delicious!! We lucked out with the classiest and most professional waiter there! You can tell he's done this at a 5 star restaurant in a big city. He really made the night one to remember. The only negatives I witnessed were the other waiters. They looked like they just rolled out of the shower, they clomped around like elephants, and though they had great intentions...they were obviously not trained to act the part. In addition, there is no dress code!! So people are coming in wearing jeans, tennis shoes, and tank tops!! The food and my waiter were at the 5 star level, but if you want to up your game....you guys have to groom your staff for that level of service and you should start to enforce a dress code to keep it classy. read more

We are from out of town wanting an experience like never before. we heard about Elevation 486 and wanted to try it out. We went in on Friday and they didn't have any openings till 8:30 without a reservation. We called the next day around 11am and they were already booked. I am glad that locals can get an advantage but not give tourist a try Especially since the tourist don't know how booked you guys are. Very unprofessional and I refuse to try them Now. Very disappointed read more

Fantastic view of the Snake River Canyon, beautiful evening so ate outside. Had the Flatiron Steak which was excellent. Service staff very pleasant and on top of things. Will return. read more

My family and I love this place for lunch. The ladies can get great salads and the boys can get steak sandwiches or whatever they desire. The reason why I gave Elevation a bad review is not because of the food, it is because of the service. The waitresses are hit and miss. Sometimes you can receive great service but other times which is more often than not, you receive very VERY poor service. Make sure you do not get seated in Shannon`s section. You will be treated poorly and be questioned on your order. read more

I want to hate this place because it's on the North-end of Twin Falls and I hate how investors are turning the canyon rim into a strip mall instead of investing in Twin Falls Downtown core -- but I can't hate this place. It had too many good qualities to justify hate. Their burgers are just amazing. The kaiser bun really makes this burger stand out. Their appetizers look tasty, but they're marginal. The pita pizza sauce tasted like sauce from a jar, and the steak in my steak quesadilla tasted like it had been reheated after sitting for an hour. The drink prices aren't terrible either, although I felt $8.50 was a couple dollars too much for a well liquor Black Opal. Customer service: just fine. Elevation 486 has the best outdoor seating right now, but that's not saying much. Sure these canyon rim places have the canyon rim for a view, but after awhile it gets a little boring. Twin Falls doesn't have any place with outdoor seating that provides one of the best things about outdoor seating: people watching! However, the only people watching you can do in Twin Falls is at the mall or Golden Carrol (but why would you want to people watch there?). Also, like it's direct competitor, there's no seating in the sun, which is perfect of these beautiful Spring (or Fall) days. Really, the closest to "fine" dining in Twin Falls is Elevation 486. It's the "classy" place in Twin Falls. read more

Fabulous service, food was amazing and drinks were delicious ! Thank you so much for a wonderful meal. Taylor was excellent by the way
