This is an old school steak house down exactly right. From the impeccable service to the interior design that is dated in the right way to the most important element- the food. This will hands down be our new go-to for any special occasion where we want to dress up and go out. Management even took an extra step to make sure my husband had the drink he wanted. It's probably one of the only times I've been to an expensive restaurant and didn't feel let down. read more

Passing through I went to the Yelp gods to suggest a good spot to eat. Well, we decided on wanting to eat steak so we ended up here at The Brickyard. I really enjoyed dining here. The decor was beautiful and the piano player music was welcoming. Looks like they have dueling pianos which is a plus. Our server was Johnathan and he was very friendly and personable. 5 STARS for his service and being witty. Food: Steak Frites with truffled fries, chimichurri, blistard grape, tomatoes and sunny side egg. Dungeness Crab Dip Table side Salad Chef The steak was cooked medium temperature. It was a huge piece that I couldn't finish it. I ended up eating less than half and gave the egg to my friend to eat. I did like the fries. It was flavorful. My friends enjoyed their meals that they had no leftovers. Great location and delicious food. If you park in one of the street parking stalls, make sure you pay the meter. read more

What a phenomenal place to eat in Boise. Brickyard is at the top of my list of dinner places in the Treasure Valley. The service is phenomenal, with the staff taking a "team approach" to serving tables. What that meant for us was several people checking in, filling waters, removing dishes and making us feel well taken care of. The lobster bisque was delicious. The table-side Caesar was the best and the dinner was seriously out of this world. My wife ordered the New York steak and it was MASSIVE. I have never seen such a large cut and it was cooked to perfection. I had the Beef Wellington and it was the best I have ever had anywhere. Perfectly cooked, flaky crust and amazing flavor. The drinks and dessert were on par with the rest of the meal but I have to stop myself from writing a book about everything I loved about it. Suffice to say Brickyard was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary and we will be back. read more

Very disappointed. We decided to visit the Brickyard the other night and it was beyond disappointing. We had Megan who appeared to be more interested in being on her phone behind the bar vs making sure we had cocktails and water. She asked what we would like to drink a few times as if though she forgot that she even asked us. When we did get a cocktail it wasnt even prepared properly. I ordered the bourbon breeze and it looked like she just poured the ingredients over ice and added a garnish. The flies were also bad. After our experience, we definitely won't be back. read more

Went here for lunch with my husband. I ordered the club sandwich I believe it was called BLTA because it had avacado in it also. My husband ordered the meatloaf and he said it was amazing. Love the atmosphere and the waiters are on point. We've been back a couple more times and it was still amazing. read more

As first time visitor to Idaho, we were drawn to the Brickyard menu's dishes that prominently featured beef and Idaho potato prepared in so many different ways. On a long weekend Sunday, Brickyard was lively with packed happy diners, many celebrating their birthdays, and jazzy piano music. From tableside salad or soup, warm bread roll, sorbet pallet cleanser to main with potato side and of course dessert, the menu and portion was designed to make sure that no one goes home hungry. Our family of four ordered short ribs beef bourguignon and 3 different style of steak. Quality of the steak was decent for the price, but the execution was not at NYC steakhouse level as it lacks the flavorful juicy beef fat, charred crisp on the outside and the warm plate. I'm also not a fan of potato soup that has a grainy mashed potato consistency. But the big surprise was the how flavorful, juicy and falling apart the beef bourguignon was - this is a must order! read more

I had such a good experience here. From the moment we walked in, the servers were genuinely kind and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell they actually care about making sure you're having a good time. The ambiance was super fun and lively, but still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy your meal. It felt like the kind of place you could go for a date night or just a cute night out with friends. And the food? So good. Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with intention. No complaints at all. The live piano music really took it to another level. It added such a classy, cozy vibe and made the whole experience feel special instead of just another dinner out. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend if you want good food and a whole vibe, not just a meal. read more

My absolute favorite restaurant to go to. I always have my birthday dinner here & we drive in all the way from Middleton. The halibut with the crab on top is excellent. The steak is delicious. The palette cleanser is perfect. The soups, salads & desserts are lovely. The piano entertainment is fantastic. Every employee is great, but I especially love Jonathan. Thank you for remaining consistent all these years! Definitely a go-to & recommended to all. read more

Amazing meal, wine, service, ambiance. We'll definitely be back. We felt very spoiled

Everything was so delicious, the meal includes fresh sourdough with butter, choice of soup or salad and choice of potato with your steak. 10/10 both the service and the food were superb. read more

My wife and I celebrated our Anniversary tonight by dining at The Brickyard steakhouse in downtown Boise. The food was excellent, the atmosphere perfect and the service outstanding. Our back waiter, Kyle was an absolute pleasure to have help us. He knew the menu, was extremely helpful, his service was excellent and he made our dining experience even that much more enjoyable. He will truly make an excellent waiter. Speaking of waiters, our waiter Jordan also provided us with excellent service and great conversation. He too contributed to our exceptional evening. If you are looking for great food, excellent service and a really nice atmosphere with live piano music, definitely check out the Brickyard steakhouse in downtown Boise. We will definitely be back. read more

I got the feeling I was in for a good meal as I walked in at 5 pm on a Thursday. The restaurant was virtually empty and I did not have a reservation but there was a hesitation as to whether I could be seated. After a brief wait I was told they were setting a table for us (party of two) and I could be seated. All good with the preliminaries and we ordered the table salad which was a highlight but it was a turnoff to me for the salad make to have a prominently displayed tip jar - do we have to tip every effort now? The salad was good though, and my bake potato was also very good. I did not like the cheese but that was an option and probably just me. I had that with a rib eye contact which I ordered medium rare. It was browned on the outside but red on the inside throughout. Rib eyes always have some fat, but this one had gristle that was difficult to cut through. I had to discard what I was chewing on into my napkin to be sure I did not choke on it. My friend had the filet mignon. He said it was dry. Of course we could have complained but we were there mostly to talk and I wpuld have preferred to be given a steak that I could digest more easily while talking. This was not that steak. read more

This is a beautiful steakhouse with brickwork and rustic wood decor. If you want a restaurant that not only feeds you but offers you a dining experience, this is your place. The pace is slow, but it's for a reason they want you to enjoy the ambiance and enjoy your meal. My meal began with a Cesar salad it was prepared table-side, by a very nice young man who explained what the process was and asked what we wanted on our salad. Then they brought out a delightful lemon sorbet as a palate cleanser, followed by salmon picata with mashed potatoes, asparagus and carrots. Which was absolutely amazing, they also served what they said was sour dough rolls, but they in fact were a bit sweet, the texture was not sourdough texture. Then we had a huckleberry cheesecake. When you come here, don't be in a hurry plan to enjoy and relax, and enjoy your dinner with family and friends. read more

BEWARE!!! If you visit on a Friday or Saturday night after 5PM, be careful where you park. The street right outside the front door is an UBER LANE only. We learned this the hard way and read the signs as if we were able to park there after 5PM as did all the other cars parked there. Right after our food came out, we saw a bunch of tow truck lights outside. They were towing EVERY. SINGLE. CAR parked there. Not only was it a $158 fee to get our car unhooked off the tow truck, but also a $73 parking ticket. We told our server about this and hopefully the host can double check with patrons before seating them from now on. Otherwise, this was our second time here and it was great! Food is always tasty, service is top notch, the piano player really sets the vibe. We love it here and recommend it to a lot of people as it is also priced very fairly. read more

The New York steak and Salmon were amazing. The potatoes and salad were also very good. The disappointment was the huckleberry cheesecake. It was a dried out spice cake biscuit that did not resemble cheesecake. read more

Personable and efficient service. Great atmosphere and the bartender was kind and sociable. Great cut of steak.

Nice steakhouse downtown Boise serving up delicious and decadent meals. When I looked at the menu ahead of time and saw Chateaubriand for two, I couldn't believe my eyes, all that food and for $85? My Californian heart was singing so obviously we had to order this. For the sides we got the potato cakes and potatoes au gratin, then one soup and one salad. Loved that the salad was made to order at a salad cart tableside. Salad was the winner for me, and soup the winner for my boyfriend, and the potato cakes, winners for everyone at the table. The mushrooms were also pretty fantastic, we ended up ordering an extra side of these because they were so good, rookie mistake though because we were so stuffed by the time they came we hardly made a dent. I was also able to try the short ribs, which were super tender and fall off the bone, as they should be. This was a huge portion and even with everyone at the table trying them, they were too much for the orderer to finish. Our group of 4 had a reservation for Saturday evening, the place was packed, so definitely recommend a reservation to secure your spot. read more

I go out a lot. And I mean a lot. This was by far the best meal I've had in a long time. My table started with the stuffed potatoe skins with steak appetizer and the Brie appetizer. They were spectacular. The potatoes appetizer could be a meal on its own. There's so much take three huge potato skins filled with cheese and onions and deliciousness. Highly recommend. The Brie appetizer was nice. Everything you would expect from melted Brie inside a filo dough. However after that I ordered the short ribs. Absolutely spectacular. Everybody at the table wanted my food. Which I did share a bite of with everybody. I was so full from the appetizers I had to take 3/4 of my dinner home and even after removing the bone I still felt like I was taking a pound of food home. The pallet cleansers was delightful an unexpected addition between appetizers and dinner. And the chocolate muffins as a parting gift was the French kiss of the evening. Now I haven't said anything about the service yet but they were very attentive and professional and I would definitely be coming back to this restaurant again. read more

Always my favorite fine dining restaurant, the ambience is so classic and peaceful. The lighting is perfect, the noise level is great and while it's a busy atmosphere - I'm not overstimulated at all. I love the fact I can actually have a conversation and hear what is being said. I notice a lot of fine dining restaurants have loud music, strobe lights, and all these extra add ons to create a "unique experience" but for my taste, it's way too much. I appreciate The Brickyard's consistent exceptional service from their wait staff and their ability to be personable while respectful of your time. Flow and timing of when the food is served is always consistent. Even though prices increased over time, the cost is always reasonable due to the restaurant's exceptional food, service, and environment over the past decade. I also love that you get a muffin to go when you leave, too cute! read more

We had an amazing meal in a beautiful space! We would totally go back, because I know that the service experience we had was a fluke. I even wonder if they were shortstaffed because the waiter we had was also the bartender. But coming in with high expectations and spending a decent amount of money, it was still hard to struggle that much to order another cocktail. And our bill was brought to us with no request as to whether we wanted anything else. No coffee or dessert ... just a check dropped silently. That was kind of weird and not the best send off. We would absolutely give this place a second chance read more

First off I love dining in downtown Boise. So when we went out for 2 birthday celebrations this evening we thought it would be a slam dunk here. Ambiance is great. A steakhouse dining room with two pianos and a drum kit set up. Great! Looks like some good food and live music! I was really looking forward to the food here based on the mostly high Yelp stars. I don't know what happened but our steaks were severely under done. I had the New York and my wife had the Rib Eye. I ordered medium well and she requested well - "no pink". Our waiter said no problem. And even has us refer to the menu description of the wellness levels. They seemed to describe what we usually expect, "Well Done - brown throughout and crispy" and "Medium Well - smaller pink center". So the order was placed biased on that. These steaks came back very rare. Mine was purple and juice was red. Her "no pink" was totally pink throughout. I would have sent them back but our waiter service was so spotty. Needless to say I was highly disappointed in the steaks. I tried to finish. But it was so chewy. So our waiter was another disappointment. He was very pushy. Looked annoyed and had no sense of welcoming. We had a group of 7 and 1 was joining later. He kept interrupting asking where our last guest is. When will he order. We know the kitchen closes so we said we are going to order for him. Our waiter kept on asking why isn't he her and eye rolling. Unacceptable. And I remind you we were celebrating 2 birthdays here. How about some hospitality. I must say the gentleman who was bringing out our bread and the salad chef were great and helpful. The band was pretty good. Now these definitely were NOT dueling pianos as described on the website. More like a band of 2 pianos and a drummer who all play together. While the guys had a great sound, they were not dueling each other. They played most requests, but stuck to a lot of Billy Joel and Elton John. While this is good music and they have tons of piano tunes... I prefer "dueling piano" bars that challenge each other to play music not typically heard on piano. Eventually they played a pop song on request and it was pretty good too. All in all we had an average experience here. Music was not what was expected - no dueling going on. And steaks were a waste. Even though they were not cooked properly they also were tough and chewy, especially for a steakhouse. And then with our no personality waiter we we're automatically slapped with the 20% gratuity on the check. Oh we paid it, but it was not a reflection of good service on his part. Not coming back here. I will pay good money elsewhere. read more

Anything less than a 5 star review here is a lie or a fluke. This place is the best of Boise. The French onion soup is the best I have ever had. The elk tenderloin and the Wellington were absolutely flawless. The staff was all incredible; from the bar before dinner to getting sat at a table we never had to wonder about our service. This place is just absolutely amazing. Weather you live in boise or are visiting a night out is not complete without going to brickyard and I hope it stays around for a long time. read more

First thing we did not have a reservation. The host said they don't have room, then quickly got on the phone and the taller host said we could get in at 8:15, so a little off put by the first host. we sat at the stools and waited and the manager got us shirley temples and was super up beat and nice. We got sat in the back room, had Gregory as a server and he was amazing! efficient, very friendly, and top tier service! Request him you will not be disappointed. i would highly recommend this restaurant, french onion was incredible, we also got the beefbeef Wellington it was good. The whipped potatoes, however, were my favorite. 4 course meal with excellent service by Gregory J. read more

Stayed in Boise for a night while passing through, found this place to make rezzies. Had a lovely experience from walk in to walk out. The service was just enough knowledge and attention without being overbearing. We ordered beef Wellington 4/5 and short ribs 5/5. Our cocktails were painkiller 5/5 and a mezcal old fashioned 4/5. We loved the piano player while we are. Just a lovely experience and if we're ever back in town, we will return. read more

Brickyard! It will not disappoint. A very nice interior, small bar, but great bartenders. We went there for our anniversary. Our big surprise was how really nice it is. It's not Chandlers, but it's up there. Table side salad, potatoes made any way possible, with great steaks and seafood. Lots of staff to ensure you get great service. Happy waiters. The food was really good and they have a pianist playing at the far end of the dining room which was a nice tough. They played "Creep" by Radiohead on the piano. Pretty cool. A big noisy overall, but not so that it gets in the way of your dining experience. Very nice desserts and good coffee. All around great dining in Boise. Final word. Recommended read more

What a great experience we had last night at Brickyard located right in downtown Boise. I would highly suggest making a reservation because walk ins on the weekend could lead to a long wait. They do have a bar as well that you can eat at, but reservations would be safer. We made a reservation for 7:30 and we were promptly seated right on time. Atmosphere inside is great and it is inside a very old historical building but with a modern spin. They have great music and pianos right in the middle pretty much the entire time. Once seated we enjoyed a couple non alcoholic drinks that were delicious and decided on trying out the chefs special for an appetizer. It was thinly sliced wagyu beef served sushi style with a gastronomy of soy sauce caviar on top. This beef melted in your mouth and was probably one of the best appetizers I have ever eaten. For dinner we had the chateaubriand for 2 which was accompanied by mushrooms, grilled asparagus and carrots. Along with your choice of potatoes which we had both the peanut butter mashed potatoes and potatoes au gratin. It also comes with your choice of soup or salad and freshly made sourdough rolls. First the salad cart comes by in which you choose all your favorites along with homemade dressings all tossed personally for you. The salad was awesome and the homemade blue cheese I had was incredible. The steak was cooked absolutely perfect and had tremendous flavor. Everything down to the veggies and mushrooms were so delicious. I would give this meal and experience a 10 out of 10. The food was so good and the service was absolutely perfect. I am so glad we tried this locally owned steak house and now will be our favorite to enjoy! Whether you are local or just visiting please skip the chain restaurants and give this place a try you won't be disappointed. read more
