Food was tremendous including beet salad and dessert. Service members shared recommendations for food and beverages. They took us to a beautiful place where we could see the lake and Brundage Ski Resort. Lovely interior building, restaurant and bar. Highly recommend making this place to include consider staying at the hotel b read more

The worst service in McCall and we have dined at all establishments. If the food made up for the poor service we could deal with it. No. If you aren't over 60, or a regular you will be looked over. Won't ever be back. read more

We stayed in McCall for our 40th anniversary and had dinner here to celebrate. Absolutely charming inside and out. The staff is wonderful and the menu is not overwhelming and very unique. We had the Elk meatloaf on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The layers of flavors are off the chart, from the richness of the Elk to the maple bacon gravy combined with the mash potatoes, which had a hint of cheese. The lounge is very warm and cozy as well. We will definitely be back and we give this a 5 must visit. read more

So... we were honest said we are here for happy hour grabbing a drink and be out in an hour. We had a minor had to sit in the restaurant. The good: Very nice place on the waterfront. Great dirty martini $5 and the horse feather drink delish. Order the Himalayan Momos to try very interesting and good option to try something different. The bad: waitress. No personality or social skills. Couldn't even tell us the spices in the momo. If she could have thought outside of the box could've got us a mock tail for up charge. Instead spent her time chatting behind the scenes with other coworkers. read more

We just went in for a drink. Cool hotel/bar. Nice view of the lake from inside. Great bartender who hooked us up with drinks.

The food was very good. The drinks, skip the old fashioned. The waitress was very kind. We only gave this location a 3 star review because we had trouble getting the bill. We were close to the hostess stand so I motioned to one of them that we would like the check. The lady approached our table rather oddly, so I asked if she worked there because I thought I had made a mistake. I asked if she worked at the restaurant and she rather rudely stated, "yeah I work here." I told her we were looking for the bill and she left. She went to the bar area and looked around the corner and yelled to us, "cash or check?" Keep in kind there were other diners she was yelling past who were probably enjoying their dinner and didn't need this interruption. She brought the card reader over and said the first step was to leave a tip, but she didn't care of we did because it wasn't hers. The whole experience ended rather badly due to her unprofessional approach. Rather disappointing. If the management reads this, she was a medium to shorter Hispanic female with an attitude. read more

We decided that the fish preparation was so good on our last visit that we would give Rupert's one more try. We were glad we did. The fish was cooked perfectly. It was so moist and flaky and perfectly seasoned, not over or under. The risotto was also cooked well which is a feat for risotto. The food wasn't our concern as last time it was tasty and well cooked. This time the service was much improved. We had the same bartender, John. He remembered us from our previous visit and greeted us warmly. We didn't order an appetizer so there was no issue with the timing of the delivery of our entrees. We were provided with utensils immediately after ordering. Our menus were taken away which gave us the needed space for our food and beverages. We arrived at 5pm and we were lucky to get bar seating. John informed us that they would stop serving entrees in the bar at 6pm as a bridal party had booked the entire outside patio. He was the sole bartender, so that was understandable. I would recommend that if you don't have a reservation to arrive early for bar seating. The seating in the bar area offers views and has seats at the bar as well as high tops and a window seat in a quieter area. I would definitely recommend Rupert's Fish Fridays. read more

The place was booked. We had reservations at 7:30. Too late for our family. Brittany got us tables at the bar area at 5 PM. Our waiter, John, accommodated us and served us well. The Thai crab cakes were great, as was the Thai curry. My wife and I had the skirt steak, cooked to perfection. One brother had the pork chop, which he enjoyed thoroughly. One of the better places in McCall to enjoy a meal. read more

The food is amazing. The staff is super friendly. I had a great birthday dinner there. The food is definitely worth the price!

Wow. The elk meatloaf was spectacular! Fun atmosphere, upscale especially in McCall. Unique, complex cocktails to start, a solid house salad, great staff/service and pretty quick. But the elk meatloaf was really worth writing about. Great consistency and flavor, and the sauce was rich and powerful. Broccoli was cooked perfectly and the mashed was really good as well. Likely to come back tomorrow night for a repeat. read more

Came in while vacationing for a birthday dinner. The food and service were great, but we ended up seated next to some intoxicated locals which detracted from the vibe. Recommend the Himalayan Momos, Maple Mustard Glazed Elk Meatloaf and Bistro Steak. read more

My husband and I came here in 2015 for our 30th anniversary and we loved it. Fast forward to 2025 and our 40th anniversary. Oh my gosh! What a difference! The greeters/waiters were dressed casually which did not go with the restaurant. The couples that were seated next to us were celebrating their anniversary and were treated to a complimentary dessert with a sparkler candle. The food was substandard and no complimentary dessert. We will never go back and at least it was expensive! read more

My husband and I had dinner here last Saturday Night and we had a wonderful relaxing time. Our host was kind and sat us near the view windows. The ambiance was nice and quiet. The food was delicious, I had the elk meatloaf and my husband had the steak. It was so delicious I licked my plate (not literally but you get it). Would definitely recommend read more

Came for a date night and was able to watch the sunset at a lake view table. All the items served were excellent. We had the Flat Steak and Meatloaf and brussel sprouts. The staff was prompt and kind. We hung out afterward at the hotel lounge, which was great as well! read more

I called before we went about dietary restrictions and Chris was a huge help. He himself is celiac! The elk meatloaf is made with GF panko, the potatoes were traded out with fingerling potatoes since I can't have dairy either. We hit happy hour so enjoyed 1/2 priced martinis. The flavor of the food was amazing. Service as we got closer to 6 pm slowed down quite a bit but overall a great experience. read more

We didn't have reservations, but there was plenty of room at the bar area. We sat at a high top and ordered the goat cheese app. My husband ordered one of the local beers on tap and I ordered an old fashioned cocktail special. Service was quick and attentive. For the main course, my husband ordered the elk meatloaf and I ordered the Alaskan Salmon special with grilled broccoli and jasmine rice. The dish had a weird gravy that seemed out of place on an otherwise light dish. I had a little order envy. While my salmon was good, the meatloaf, was a hearty entree after a long day of skiing. It was an overall pleasant experience. read more

A nice venue but the experience was very disappointing. The food was barely average but with premium price. The service was lacking as well. A limited menu for restaurant in a steak and potatoes state. There are better places in McCall. read more

My wife and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary today in McCall and came to Rupert's for dinner based on the Yelp reviews. We were able to make reservations for 5 pm. When we arrived, we were seated at a very nice window facing the lake, an excellent start. Shortly thereafter, a party of six were seated across the aisle from us. Their tall, dark haired, male server came almost immediately and began taking their drink orders. Meanwhile, we were still waiting. Our young female server eventually came and we declined drinks and ordered our food. For appetizers, the olives and a basket of bread. For entrees, the flat iron steak and the salmon. The steak came with mixed vegetables, including snow peas, and potatoes in a wine gravy. Very good, though one side of the steak was a little burnt. The salmon was grilled, crispy on the outside yet moist and flaky on the inside. Very tasty. It came with a vinaigrette salad and an artichoke tapenade. Yummy. Since we let them know that it was our anniversary, they brought a complimentary small brownie with a sparkler, a nice touch. I take one star away for the service. Though our server was nice, she was not particularly attentive. After she took our order, a runner delivered our appetizer and our entrees. She stopped by once to check on us and, later, brought the brownie. But, she was not around much for us. In fact, we got tired of waiting for her to come and let us settle our bill, and went to the front to pay. We found her standing around, chatting with another worker. In contrast, the tall, dark haired, male server was very attentive to the other table in our area. read more

Very nice looking place. We came here for our anniversary. Beautiful view of the lake but then they sat a table next to us and we couldn't look at the view without looking like creepers. The tables were so close together that it felt like we were sitting at a long dining table. We could hear their whole conversation and vice-versa. It was not a very romantic and a bit awkward dinner. The food was cooked perfectly and the drinks were very tasty. The staff are all friendly. Might come back but I hope there is somewhere in the restaurant we can feel a little less crowded. read more

Cool atmosphere, beautiful views of the lake, great service, absolutely amazing food! If you're ever visiting McCall, Rupert's should be on your eating itinerary. Plus ordering the ramen comes with an unexpected show (they pour the broth in the bowl at the table). We also ordered the Huckleberry Breeze drink (not pictured). That was SO refreshing! read more

A casual night out began with the whipped feta appetizer and a cold crisp glass of sav blanc. Delicious! My husband had the Elk meatloaf and absolutely loved it! I chose the wild Alaskan Salmon and it was done perfectly. Finished with huckleberry sorbet and almond cookies. Loved this little gem on the water! read more

Went here for the second time yesterday. Their vegetarian ramen bowl was outstanding. The broth was so refreshing and the ingredients were fresh. The meatballs were huge and had a good flavor. The lake view was nice which is another reason why I liked this place. read more

I'm giving it a 4 star because of the view and our great waitress otherwise it would be a 3 star in my book for lack of flavor. This restaurant is located in the historic hotel McCall which has a lot of character and is a neat place to look around before going in to Rupert's restaurant They have a very simple menu with not a ton of choices, which I think is usually how higher end places are, also Everything is all cart. Started off with Shrimp scampi. 6 Jumbo prawns in a bowl of sauce, garlic, white wine, butter, and bacon. Prawns were cooked just right but the sauce was a bit lacking, it only had a hint of butter and couldn't even taste the garlic or the wine however, there were slices of chopped bacon in the sauce which was different, but overall could have been better. Second was the Cesar salad that was flavorless. Lettuce was cool and crisp but The things I tasted most were the croutons And the pepper put on it ... even though there was plenty of dressing ( I did not have anchovies on it) Entree was Flat iron steak and it was cooked to a perfect medium rare, tender, juicy & no fat or gristle-with an onion Demi glaze, again neither had much flavor except the pepper. It was served with Gruyère au gratin potatoes and they were great (with a little salt) creamy cheese and a nice crispy top, the mixed veggies cut julienne were lovely and flavorful cooked perfectly to alienate Our server was super sweet and timed everything perfectly. Sat by a window in the main dining room with a view of the frozen lake and it was quite nice. It's pretty noisy in there as there is an open bar area to the dining room. Overall I'm not sure about going back as the prices are up there and for that price I want an "MMMMMM" with every bite. read more

Decided to try Rupert's for a nicer dinner in McCall and ended up dining here for our anniversary. All courses were excellent, from appetizers to deserts. Scenery was beautiful overlooking lake, which just added to the experience. Definitely recommend. read more

Does most of the food taste fine? Yes. Does the restaurant look nice? Yes. Is the location great? Yes. Is the place a tourist trap restaurant attracted to a hotel? Yes. The food is cook right but the chef is a little full of themself. The menu is all over place and quality varies. The website says "flavors of the Southwest, Asia, and Mediterranean" which correctly means the chef has no focus. First, skip the venison meatballs, the yak dumplings, and the elk meatloaf. They covered in too sauce so all you taste sauce. Why pay for meats you can't taste. Second, who charges for bread? And we are talking $3 for some bread roll that I'm sure was purchased at the Albertsons down the street. It says "salted butter" on the menu but the tabs look just like the tabs of butter you get for free at any other restaurant with foil removed. The "Chef's Beet Salad" is just a salad with some beets and pear put on top. for a beet salad, you really don't get beets. They won't let you order entrees at the bar. First time I've been told that at a restaurant. Cocktails are good so the bartender know there stuff. But they are no "Mixologist" as the website implies. All the cocktails on the menu are common cocktails with different names. I'm guess they think they can get away with it because they swap one brand of gin for another. read more

Just like a lot of the restaurants in McCall you want to make a reservation ahead of time. The menu is quite small and there are a lot of gamey items on there. Even the soup of the day was trout chowder. If you have picky eaters or someone that craves simpler palates you may struggle to order from the menu. The salads are on the small side. The beet salad is arugula topped with beets, quinoa, poached pear (canned?), And candied pecan. No saltines that is usually added (in the form of cheese) to a beet salad to balance the sweet. Note that they do add an automatic gratuity. read more

The meatloaf is epic and I get it every time we visit. The sticky cake desert is incredible. This is one of my favorite restaurants period. read more

Very bright & sunny restaurant! Lots of natural light from the large windows & great views. Made a reservation around 6pm. We were sat right away and told the specials. Swift service, knowledgeable about the menu. Great cocktails, warm bread basket. Nice place to eat, the halibut skin was a bit chewy instead of crispy-needed only a tad bit more seasoning. The elk meatloaf was delicious, I know, cause I stole a few bites from the hubby! Would definitely come again! read more

One of the best meals I enjoyed in 2018, a superb combination of quality food and tremendous customer service. Looking for a place to eat on a snowy weekend night, I went to Rupert's (located within the downtown Hotel McCall at the 3rd Street/Lake Road elbow) on a friend's recommendation and left nearly three hours later realizing I had one of those unique dining experiences. When I arrived, Rupert's was about to host a private party, and wasn't seating in the main dining area this night. But the staff's warm greeting at the door included an invite to sit at the bar and eat, and I'm so glad that I stayed. Thanks to server/bartender Sam for her truly amazing customer service and interaction. She made the visit a great one with her awesome personality and energy. Hall of Fame level service from start to finish. Ordered parm fries and Himalayan Momos as appetizers - wow. The fries had great seasoning and I learned about Idaho's "fry sauce!" The momos, steamed yak dumplings with a superlative chutney, were incredible. Selected one of their chef specials with Sam's input, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. The Mahi-Mahi dish was perfectly cooked, and surrounded by an assortment of veggies that were both local and delicious, especially the lentils! It was not only tasty, but a visual masterpiece also. Thanks to Sam and Cookie from their staff on their interaction. A great meal in a wonderful downtown McCall setting, but what made the experience so memorable was Rupert's superlative customer service. So thankful I went here. read more

Rupert's Restaurant - Sensational mahi special - New American Near Me - McCall, Idaho

Well, I was really looking forward to our meal, as we really enjoyed Rupert's 3 yrs ago. Unfortunately, it was fair at best. Brussel sprouts OK, good flavor but undercooked. The half chicken was tasty, well cooked and good sauce. The elk meatloaf was tasty. The halibut special was unimpressive and all 3 we ordered were overcooked. The one thing you cannot do with halibut is overcook it. Service was decent. read more

Great selection of cocktails and food, I ordered the Ribeye and it's was amazing. Their Brussel sprouts were so tasty we mopped up the sauce with a basket of sourdough bread. The service was fantastic and the restaurant was very clean and nice. read more

Great food and service! We'll be back again! The atmosphere is authentic and comfortable.

Service was good and flat iron steak mid-rare was good - swordfish was good to ok - cocktails and wine were fine

When we got sat we waited for a long time to get our drink order and then after that 15 more minutes for the drinks to arrive. After we put in our order just to see our salads be given away to the neighbor table! When we pointed out to another waiter (after he gleefully said "we are all happy now" to the other table when he offered them a house salad because he served them our Caesar salad) he was dismissive of us! When our food finally arrived, it was served cold. ALL COLD! The only nice thing about it was our server Hannah. read more
