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

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

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

Had a lovely first experience at the Brickyard! We enjoyed the fixed menu which offered a variety of entrees, salad, roll, potatoes, and veggies. We were able to upgrade the whipped potatoes to try a variety of other potatoes. Very nice ambiance and friendly staff. They definitely offer a relaxed dining experience without rushing you. 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

The staff was friendly and very patient while we dealt with the 8pm weekend tow companies that wait to tow your car outside the restaurant. Beware. The drinks were very good. And steak was delicious! Cooked perfectly. The staff was knowledgeable of what wine to pair with our food and had great recommendations. read more

Delicious dinner at the brickyard and great desserts too! I love the ambiance, and the staff was super accommodating. This one street in downtown Boise just has some amazing restaurants, and this is definitely one of them. We will return! 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

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

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

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

Absolutely the best bartenders, waitstaff and food and drinks in all of downtown Boise! An old school real steakhouse with outstanding service from top to bottom. This place deserves all the accolades and more. Try it or you will be missing out on a delicious meal and top notch service!! 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 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

One of my all time favorite dining experiences, high quality food, Great Menu selections and priced just right. The servers are excellent along with supporting staff. The service is the key element where you know whether you will return. The salad wagon is always excellent as well. The beer, well drinks and wines could be lowered a little so to enjoy a second drink. Overall one of my favorite restaurants and we will continue to revisit read more

Had dinner 3/14 we ordered fixed price NY stk for 2 of us I asked for desserts to go the waiter brought them to the table I told him I asked for it to go and package the ice cream separate. When I got home the ice cream was melted and the dessert was a inedible melted mess. This dessert included an upcharge too. The other dessert never made it to by bag very disappointed how this was handled 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

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

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

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

Came in last night for a birthday celebration for my husband. This place is fantastic all around. Our servers Greg and Joe and they were a blast and of course 100% on top of it! Also Avery and Savannah were absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious. We started with oysters Rockefeller and crab stuffed mushrooms... YUM! We all had some form of steak which were all cooked perfectly and our potato sides were tasty as well. At the end, they brought our desert and a card signed by the whole staff! This place is a gem and we look forward to coming back read more

We went to the Brickyard last night to celebrate a birthday. We have not been to the Brickyard before. The ambiance was wonderful as was the piano. Service was good. However, the food was very disappointing. The "made at the table salad" was over dressed. It was not included with my meal and there was a tip jar with $20. bills poking out. So not only did I feel coerced into tipping for my salad, I had to also tip for the salad when we got the bill. Another guest ordered jumbo diver scallops that were the size of quarters, tough, and dried out. Prices were set for high end food but the food was sorely lacking. Will not return. read more

4.5 Stars. Very pricey but the portions are huge! Really classy with excellent food. Anthony took great care of us! The glass full of $20 bills on the salad bar station felt tacky and unsanitary. Was she really suggesting that I give her a $20 tip for making one small side salad? That took my review from 5 stars to 4.5 stars. read more

We walked in here last night without a reservation. Fortunately, they were able to seat us, a party of three. We ordered the house margaritas, and they were really good. We got oysters Rockefeller, and the Idaho springs caviar for an appetizer. They were both really good and presented well. We all ordered the filet mignon which comes with a tableside salad. We got our lovely salads prepared in front of us, and to our liking. The dressings are homemade, and they all tasted really good. We were just sitting there chatting and enjoying ourselves when the chef came to our table to check on us and apologize for the delay in our entrees. The funny thing was that we didn't even notice a delay, lol. We were very happy with the service so far. Shortly after, we got our perfectly cooked filets, and our sides. I would like to give a shoutout for the great potato side options. They were all fabulous. I got the parmesan fries, my daughter got the fingerlings, and my husband got the potato cakes. My husband kept raving about the potato cakes :-) We got some warm cookie type dessert, and they sent out a complimentary huckleberry shortcake type yummy thing as an apology for the "delay" that we never felt :-). Then they sent us home with 3 complimentary chocolate muffins. Overall, we had a fabulous experience at The Brickyard, and our compliments to the chef and his professional staff. You know how to treat your customers! read more

Oh for heaven sakes. We live in Colorado. Can't find a decent steakhouse here. We visited Boise for a few days and wow, found this gem! Totally delicious. Friendly and awesome ambiance. Piano bar sounds so good and plays excellent t memories. The steaks are so delish. Mine a New York. Cooked so well just to my liking. We shared chimmicurri sauce wowzer! Hubs had a petite filet. Over the top delicious. Our server Patrick so good on the eye and such a fabulous server. I had whipped potatoes and hubs au gratin. Their warm rolls with their butter so good. Lemon sorbet after soup. Cleanses palate. Can't say enough. Short flight we will be back read more

I've been here a handful of times. I would say this is in my top 3 favorite places to eat in Boise. Exceptional service every time we've been, the food is always fresh and high quality, and the ambiance is cozy. It is a little tight when you're by the pianos, but it doesn't hinder the experience at all. Highly recommend their crap dip, French Onion soup, Green Goddess dressing with the table-side salad, the Ribeye, the Wellington and their potato cakes! My husband also says they make a very good Old Fashioned. If you're in Boise, you need to try this place! read more

From the moment we walked in, service was nonexistent. The hostess was rude and noncommunicative right off the bat. We got seated and after 30 minutes had never seen the waiter, even after flagging down an employee after 20 minutes and telling them about it. After another 10 minutes with no contact with anybody, we gathered our things and took our business to their competition. Won't be back. read more
