    For a homestyle breakfast on your way to Mccall, this is a great stop! 5.99 breakfast special and a great cup of coffee awaits you! 2 eggs, hash browns, sausage and homemade toast....yum!

    New Owners: Love the new menu! Food is great and service is awesome! So thankful to have this gem in our little town.

    Cinnamon roll

    I probably should have given it 5 stars but the gravy on the homemade biscuits was an insult to such a fine mix of flour. Sarah is such a nice person and a wonderful baker I think I could eat there every day. The cinnamon roll was enough for 3 people and the best I ever had. Thanks for the candle it made my buddies morning.

    This is a nice little restaurant. Looks as though it's been freshly remodeled compared to the last inside photos. We got 2 pizzas, they were very good but very small, surprisingly filling though with how generously topped they were. Definitely will be back to try more on the menu. Reasonably priced, the tab was around $50 and we had a soda, a beer, mozzarella sticks and 2 pizzas.

    Not the best place in Cascade to eat probably won't go back, the inattentive staff really sucked. Totally over priced as well.

    Now that I see the reviews it makes sense why this place was so awful…read more The service was SLOW with only one other family there when we arrived it took forever just to order. This place is poorly staffed and entirely disorganized. I ordered a calzone for dine in cost 17$ and some change. Expensive but taking the area into consideration okay. We waited almost 45 minutes for our food. When it arrived she attempted to hand me the wrong one when I asked if it was white sauce she looked at me confused and said "I don't know let me check" then went in the back and came back with a box with my actual order in it. Apparently they made it to go on accident. No one called my name for this "to go" so it just sat for I don't know how long. I went to try my calzone and the dough was raw, literally RAW. I asked one of the girls to take it and if I could just have a refund since we had waited 45 minutes at this point and I didn't want to wait another 45 minutes the place was busier than when we arrived. With multiple people just waiting on beers that haven't been poured for 10 plus minutes. She struggled on processing a refund( understandable) everyone that works here seemed entirely inexperienced. So she had to grab a manager who couldn't even find my order in the system. She then tried to tell me she needed the last 4 of my card number to refund me. I tried to explain to her I paid with Apple Pay and it auto generated a card number so it wouldn't match my physical card. She argued that she HAD to have it to process my refund. Which I continued to explain to her it didn't work like that. Which I shouldn't have to explain to a manger who has tap to pay set up on there tills. That is information she SHOULD already know. She finally said she'd just give me cash. Great. Was excited to end this interaction when she threw on " If you decide to come back, just so you know the calzones are cooked that way so they don't burn." Which is weird because having had worked in pizza myself for 5 years I've NEVER served someone undercooked RAW dough. EVER. My boyfriends was cooked through completely and not burnt. So this didn't add up at all. Sounds like they are cutting corners on To gos to save time. So just a PSA they serve RAW dough here. And to the "manager" who so rudely tacked on that she serves RAW dough regularly. I will NOT be returning. And I wouldn't suggest anyone come Rude manager. Overly priced. Disgusting food.

    No reservations available at our go to Regazza for just my wife and myself, so we decided to…read morefinally try their little sibling next door. Came early-ish at 5:00 and there was about 50% of the seating available. Looking over the menu we agreed to get items to share vs doing individual items. Lots of options and the usual spousal "what do you want, idk what do you want" and we agreed to start with just one wings and one flatbread. Unfortunately as we are about to order they put on order of empanadas and the artichoke dip on the pickup counter and I blurted out, "and those". Then the food arrives...too much??? See pics. Well I can say not one bite went to waste, though it took two days(leftovers) to finish it all. We stayed only 2 minutes away and actually got another to go order of the dip again for the second night. PS we paid a few bucks for extra crostini(sp?) for dip, and used them all, highly recommend. Everything was great, the dip was to die for as were the empanadas. The place was packed by 6, and while only two employees handled it all they did a great job and earned a generous tip, which ain't easy from me. Place is cute and has a cool hangout vide with decent beer and very good wine selections. Gonna be hard choosing between our two favorite Donnelly, heck Valley County, eateries but at least the same folks will benefit.

He went above and beyond with his service--attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great meal. Every recommendation he made was spot on. You can tell he really knows the menu and takes pride in what he does. We ordered the chicken plate, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of those meals you keep talking about afterward. Between the incredible food and Alfred's exceptional service, this was easily one of the highlights of our time at Tamarack. If you're in the area, do not skip this place--you're truly missing out if you don't stop by. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back.

They have an empty restaurant at 4:30 and won't let you in. We watched so many people get turned away but we sat in the restaurant by ourselves from 4:30-5:45. It's a quiet, fine dining restaurant. Limited number of tables so book early if you want to go. Small bar to sit at. They have a kids menu with mac n cheese, chicken tenders, steak or butter noodles. Coke products. You can room charge if you're staying on site. Coat rack near hostess. Bathrooms down the hall near the market. Wine menu. Brunch on weekends.

    We were passing through town at dinnertime and took a chance on eating at a small town pizza joint…read more We were surprised and delighted with the quality of the pizza here! Fresh ingredients, homemade sauces, and a tasty crust were all used on some unique pizzas. My wife built her own while I ordered the Chicken Carbonara which includes a spinach artichoke heart cream sauce with fresh mushrooms, bacon, chicken, tomatoes, and onions. It was superb and I'm not a fan of heavy cream sauces like alfredo; this was a lighter cream sauce. My wife ordered a build-your-own pepperoni mushroom pizza with light sauce and loved it. The only criticism was that the crusts were a little overdone, especially my wife's which was black on parts of the bottom, but you could not taste a burnt flavor. The service was average; the attendant at the counter could not tell us the answers to some detailed questions and didn't make any effort to find out but the service time was typical for a fresh-made pizza on a fairly busy Tuesday night. The place was very popular for both dine-in and take-out. There is an outside covered patio which more than doubles the small inside dining space. The inside is LOUD so don't expect a quiet intimate conversation when you go. The place could use a little attention to detail in clean-up, the bathroom door had dirt and grime that could have been easily removed. Sizes are small, medium, large and extra large and value increases with size, naturally. The prices are not inexpensive but we felt that the quality of the pies was worth the cost. We are pleased to have found a good spot to eat while we are out on western Idaho day trips.
