    Strawberry Gazpacho with shrimp
    Gwen M.

    Food taste and presentation, table service and sharing of the inspiration for each course service, and ambiance with a featured artist's work on the walls, all were as tasty and interesting as expected. It was a wonderful surprise to learn that KIN supports local artists by hanging pictures by the current, featured artist and describing how one or more pictures inspired each plate served. Imagine having a dessert based on garden peas, and finding it quite good. Such are the surprises at KIN. From the appetizer, main dish, palate cleanser to dessert, each serving was flavorful and unique. We also ordered the customized non-alcoholic drinks, and they were fun. Each pairing featured an herb which tended to stand out in the drink; they added to each plating, for sure, and were worth the additional expense to taste such creativity. Boise street parking after 6 pm is pretty easy, so its not a hassle to drive and park close. KIN is definitely worth the dining experience. We may reserve again after the the menu changes in 5 weeks! So delicious and our company of friends was so fun!

    Anniversary dinner at KIN with my wife. Service was fabulous from the Art Haus Bar through dessert. Food was delicious and inventive. Decor and ambience mostly on point, the actual lighting for the food was a bit weak. And music was at a perfect volume but the selection was a repetitive low energy European electronica. It was large table group seating, which normally we find perfect. In this case we were at table end and the entire room was compromised of much younger folks. And not a terribly engaging set of young folks at that, at least right where we were. We would much have preferred our own little table. But had we not been at table end (giving us more choice) or had our immediate table mates been more interesting, it would have been fine. So it goes. Our major complaint was presentation. And in this regard it it why we likely won't return. Each course was prefaced by it's narrative inspiration. In this case non profits. Forget the fact that it was annoying as hell to have my dessert prefaced by telling us the split in the chocolate delight represented the 15% "gender pay gap". Forget that it's factually absurd, even if it were a non profit for a cause I believe in (like veteran assistance), describe the food first so we begin eating, and keep the non profit description short and sweet. Not agonizingly long. Frankly, since you announced that these weren't agencies you donated to but wanted us to, maybe get your inspiration from nature or art. I asked them since this was a "season of giving" menu if the meal was free. Apparently it wasn't. While we are unlikely to return the food and staff were all excellent. And one of our serving staff even sang us a wonderful and sultry good-bye song. This is not a great romantic spot, but would be better with a small group. Fortunately my wife is all the company one needs so it was a Fab night.

    What an amazing Prix Fixe dining experience!!! Beautifully executed from start to finish. Innovative dishes. Fantastic flavors! This is an ABSOLUTE must if you enjoy fine dining experiences. They had my name and guest's name on a card to show where we were sitting and we sat across from each other in a long series of tables next to one another so we could talk and engage with fellow diners. A menu was provided for what was to come. EVERYTHING was delicious! Not a single dish was forgettable. I had the wine pairing option (strongly recommend but it is not a must) while my guest had the non-alcoholic pairing, which she enjoyed. They ended our dining experience with one of them signing a beautiful goodbye tune! How wonderful is that?!?! Very clever and artistic.

    Table snacks and water!!

    Want to try a bar that "different" and willing to be adventurous with food pairings, alcohol & flavor combinations... this is the place!! Pomegranate Cardamom syrup..uh yes please! Asked to have with vodka and ginger beer plus a bit of lime (to cut the sweet) 26th bit of soda water & over ice..a Summer Rush for sure!! Bartenders easy to visit with, glad you're here and happy to talk about the "Moron" which is Welsh for carrot-(so it's healthy right?!) which gives it's fun color! Try the snacks...what I thought was a chicharron chip but it was fried tapioca starch (think shrimp chip minus the shrimp) a with a spinach & lamatium (yep, an edible weed!)..pretty yummy! Next, had the Pork Noodles... waiter said all fresh, home made, 48 hour broth...organic eggs... just delicious! Will be back!

    French Onion Soup Burger
    Max W.

    I'm gonna jump right in. If you want to know what a $40 hamburger tastes like, but you only have $16, this is your place. If it's still on the menu by the time you see this, it's the French Onion Soup Burger. Like any top tier restaurant should, they change their menus, and if it's too late by the time you read this, go with your gut. If it's on the menu when you arrive, it's a top 5 best burger of your life. Side note. If you're into whiskey, they have a good collection with better-than-fair pricing. If you like cocktails, my wife and I have tried to find one we don't like, and we have failed thus far. It's too bad Yelp only allows for 5 stars, because this place deserves 10. Would recommend.

    Yakisoba
    Suzette C.

    Met our kids at the bar at Kin. We had a wonderful dinner. I ordered the Yakisoba and my husband ordered the burger. I added on shrimp and an egg for only $5 to my meal. I loved their twist on regular food. The salt and vinegar fries were great too. Our dinner was delicious and reasonably priced. The server was very attentive. Next time we are in town, we will be back.

    See all

    I was pretty intimidated by Kim's regular tasting menu, but eating at the Art Haus bar was a great decision.

While we didn't get to enjoy the vault room, the cozy couch we had was perfect for our group. Service was great in the beginning of the visit and then it fell off as the bar got busier. Not sure if it was the amount of people and staff or if it's a larger issue. That being said, our server was very friendly and thoughtful. I know he had lots of groups to take care of. Our drinks were very well made. We came in to take part in Happy Hour. The Buy one Get One menu was a bit limited, but we were able to find something to our liking. Overall it was a great location for our group and I'd definitely go back.

    A Step Down That's a Definite Step Up!…read more Descending into the basement-level space of 8 Horses Cocktail Lounge feels a bit like stepping into a secret (Vault) -- and what you find is an elevated cocktail experience that's anything but underground. Intimate, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, 8 Horses delivers on every front. The atmosphere is warm and moody, with just the right touch of sophistication. The cocktail menu is a standout -- creative, balanced, and clearly curated by people who know their craft. Each drink feels like a conversation between ingredients, not just a mix. The service is sharp yet approachable, with bartenders who are as passionate as they are skilled. Whether you're a cocktail aficionado or just out for a special evening, 8 Horses is a destination worth seeking out. Boise has no shortage of great spots -- but 8 Horses proves that sometimes, the best way to level up your night is by taking the stairs down.
