The Cellar Pub

We visit Sun Valley several times a year and have driven past Sawtooth Brewery Public House more…read moretimes than I can count. There is almost always a large crowd gathered out front, which usually tells you everything you need to know--but we finally made a point to stop in for lunch on a beautiful sunny day. The Brews Since it's a public house, the beer list is extensive. I opted for their Pilsner and Lager. Both were exactly what you want on a warm afternoon: light, crisp, and incredibly refreshing. The Food We decided to put their "best in town" claims to the test, and they did not disappoint: * Fish and Chips: They advertise these as some of the best around, and I'm happy to report they aren't exaggerating. The breading was perfectly light--not greasy or heavy--and the fish itself was delicate, flaky, and cooked to perfection. * BLT with Grilled Halloumi: My wife went with this, and the addition of the halloumi was a game-changer. Served on a pretzel bun, it was a unique and delicious twist on a classic. * The Fries: You can't have a pub lunch without good fries. These are those "just right" beer pub fries--crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Easily my favorite style. Verdict The atmosphere was great, the service handled the crowd well, and the food was fantastic. We will definitely be back for lunch on our next trip. If you're in Ketchum, don't just drive by--give it a try.

From the mug club, it seems like this is a local staple. There's trivia on Tuesdays. TVs on the walls. Picnic tables outside, if you're so inclined. I think some pubs just order from Sysco, fry it up and serve. Five stars because they're not doing that! Their food was "pub" but the elk burger was handmade and fresh, the pot pie wasn't out of a can thought the veg maybe been frozen not fresh, and some of the store bought stuff like their pretzel seemed better than a defrosted ballpark.

I ordered the olives, burrata, and the rack of lamb with some ice cold beer on tap to boot. Burrata is a dish I order often and the execution of this one immediately got my attention. This was all prepared exquisitely and the flavors played a symphony. The exact same description applies to the rack of lamb, served with some berry reduction, mint, local mushrooms, and an out of this world potatoes au gratin. Of note, the potatoes were a true homage to the state's most famous crop! And the lamb, sourced locally, of delightful quality. Please see my pics of the perfect pink lamb chops that I cut down from the rack. That ambiance is warmly lit, dim, and very cozy. I had a booth by the window decked out with multiple soft pillows. Not knowing any restaurant in Ketchum, the ambiance I saw in online pics was a big draw for me and it didn't disappoint. Service was on point; enough said: it's 5 stars!

This place felt like a local hot spot, and indeed was a hit, with really friendly service and excellent food! We ate at the bar, which was wide enough with comfortable stools. Drinks were strong and tasty (Mai Tai) and we shared hummus with the best pita ever! Also ordered Caesar salad with ahi, which was incredibly tasty with never ending fish portion on it!! I will dream about it until the next time I visit! read more

We are visiting town to support an event for the culinary world and wanted to try some local establishments. I took my wife and the food was wonderful. We had the yellow tail and two pasta dishes. The yellowtail was perfect but I did feel as if the past was a little "too on the "al dente" side. The being said, I did thoroughly enjoy the food. However; from the moment we walked in the door, we were treated as a nuisance and felt unimportant/unwanted. The hostess was atrocious and made it very clear we were being judged while rolling her eyes to common questions like "do we need a reservation or can we be placed on the list or seated." After she did common tasks during our conversation (and briefly stepping away), we were able to get her to seat us (after asking again). This started us off with hesitation which was only further exacerbated by the staff taking our order and not refilling our alcoholic drinks. We love to enjoy experiences and are not afraid to spend our hard earned money - sadly, this made our time here short lived. We were not informed if there was a dress code that established our treatment/experience here. If so, the messaging would be received poorly due to the fact that we were wearing similar -to- identical attireTo the wait staff. Again, I severely dislike doing reviews like this as someone that's a chef and owner in the industry.
