This went from being one of our top dining experiences two years ago for my birthday to one of the bottom for my birthday this year. There were two staff working the whole front. We were sat by the brick wall which smelled like mold. The entire time that’s all I could smell. We had the love bun first and it was decent, but basic for $22. The salad was like something I could make at home. Specifically asked for no onions, came out with onions and dry black beans with chips that tasted like great value Doritos or something generic and stale. I brought it to our servers attention about the onions and she said they could “pick them off” which didn’t sound appealing so I picked them off myself. Then instead of apologizing, she came back and very awkwardly asked if I was allergic… No, I’m not allergic, but I asked for no onions because I hate them. Her attitude changed to very detached after her mistake on my order. We waited a very long time to order and then for the main course as well. Dinner was pretty good, but nothing outstanding. But the food is only half of the experience with a fine dining and pricey restaurant, the service needs to match. The steak was very good, I will say. We did let them know on the reservation it was a birthday celebration. Not one mention of it, then when I mentioned it, still no happy birthday wish. Finally got a “happy birthday” that was not genuine at all when she brought our dessert back that we paid for. Kind of weird how another table got a special birthday dessert, the one we got 2 years ago on my birthday. The service was very lacking and slow. I chose this place to drive from Idaho out of many choices, but we picked it based on a prior good experience. My daughter is in town from college and for my special 40th birthday, it felt anything but special. I’m so disappointed and especially for the cost of $225. Just very sad experience.

️ What We Ordered:
• Love Bun must order every single time. Spicy heat, crunchy bread, cheesy goodness… my favorite.
• Prawns are exactly what you’d expect.
• Smoked Mozzarella Baguette savory, garlicky, dip-happy bread vibes.
• Beet Salad is a full 10/10. Fresh, balanced, and memorable.
• Wedge Salad is classic and satisfying.
• Ravioli Entrée no portobello; subbed with cheese ravioli, and it worked beautifully. Creamy, peppery, parmesan goodness.
• Braised Short Ribs fork-tender, rich, drenched in a delicious wine gravy.
• Mud Pie coffee ice cream vibes with Aztec fudge, cookie crumble, chocolate, and whipped cream.
Kid-friendly note:
No official kids menu, but they’re happy to whip up a grilled cheese, hamburger, or quesadilla if needed.
I had the prawn cocktail, crispy Brussels, n mozzarella bread.
Can’t remember the drink names but they were good. But a must try is the creme brulee. It was amazing. The top was nice n hard n made tha glass cracking sound even u take the first bite. The middle was smooth creamy and cold. Combo that with the warm Carmel on top…omg!
Almost forgot the mudpie was good too.
I asked for a recommendation on the appetizer, I had two dishes I was considering. I landed on the mozzarella and it did not disappoint!
Dan was at the bar and the restaurant got busy, with Ellie leading the charge of taking care of the whole place.
I can’t say enough about how flawlessly professional and efficient she is! Wiley’s is lucky to have her.
There’s music in the background, not overwhelming. Quiet enough that it does not interfere with conversation.
Food, service and vibe are all great.
I’m really grateful I found this place on my work trip today !
Smoked mozzarella on baguettes topped with pine nuts, whole roasted garlic in olive oil and rosemary. Sounds weird but was extremely delish
Since I never had a Beef Wellington before, but am planning on going to Vegas late next month and will eat purportedly one of the best examples of the dish there @ Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen, I instead settled on the Short Rib with cheesy mash potatoes and green beans. Incredible and literally fork tender, you have no need for a knife, I just used mine to pull back the layers to show it’s juiciness and tenderness for the pics. Everything was lovely. If you’re craving elevated comfort food, this place is a SURE DEAL!
Will be back!
