TLDR: Super friendly waiter. Good cocktail "Out of the Boat". Great Mac N Cheese.
This place gave a real "clubhouse" vibe, similar to one I went to in Vegas, near my Uncle's Planned Community place. It was quite spacious with super-high ceiling, a beautiful view of the canyon and bridge. The hostess was very friendly and was more than happy to give us a table near the window that we requested. Our waiter was a young guy, super friendly and talkative. He also had a good humor, and made a lot of little jokes that we chuckled at. He was a great conversationalist. I think he really deserved the fifth star.
Other than our wonderful waiter, the food itself was delicious, and not too pricey. It was one of our most reasonable meals, considering that we ordered a cocktail, an app, and 2 entrees. Speaking of which, every dish was delicious! Not one bad thing or suggestion we could make.
Let's start with the bruschetta. It was piled HIGH with tomatoes, had a lovely OVOO drizzle, and a generous dusting of cheese. I really liked the fact that they gave so much tomatoes. The bread could be a little bit more toasted, but that's a minor thing. Absolutely refreshing, if a little bit spicy.
I loved how there's a whole section called "Mac N Cheese". I never been to Idaho, so I don't know if it's a thing here, but man, it's awesome! I LOVE MnC ever since I was a kid and I would down an entire Kraft box for a meal. Yeah, not very healthy, but delicious! So the one I ordered had a twist to it... they added Chicken to it, and used an Alfredo sauce. GENIUS! The chicken was tender, and the mac was delicious. Not as al-dente as I would have liked, but the whole thing as a whole was great.
My wife ordered the Seared Salmon, with a Honey-Garlic glaze. That too was cooked very well, juicy and tender. The glaze was top-notch, adding a sweetness to it. I know you are thinking, fish and sweet? But Yeah! Look at Sweet N Sour Fish! It came with some spicy rice pilaf, which added a nice kick, if you are worried the sweetness is too one-note. I abandoned my mac, to help her finish hers. Because fish the next day is... not a good thing. Have you ever smelled fish in a microwave in the office???
We aren't much of a liquor people, but I wanted to splurge a little after the nearly 4 hour drive from SLC to here. So I got the "On the boat" I think it's called? It's basically a Pina Colada, but with strawberries added to it. It was also very good, the rum wasn't too overpowering. And it didn't taste JUST of coconut. All the flavors blended well together. Highly recommend it, if you like fruity drinks!
Overall, with the wonderful view (Definitely try to get a window seat or eat outside), friendly wait staff, and delicious food... this place is a WINNER! If you are ever in Twin Falls, you OWE it to yourself to try this place. read more
