We went to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary on a Sunday evening. We had reservation, so there was no waiting. Food was delicious and presentation was good. we ordered BBQ Duck Quesadilla, Seafood Mixto, Spinach salad with strawberries & soup, Pasta Primavera and BBQ Ribs. We got complimentary Cotton Candy with a small cake & candle inside it to celebrate our anniversary.

I was here in late October and it was setup for Halloween attire. First off, the atmosphere here is excellent. It’s a bit dark in the main room with such unique and beautiful artwork. There are seats near the window / patio are for views overlooking the large pond outside.
I was here with my lady and her sister for happy hour, which I highly recommend. We had the calamari, crab cakes, fries and of course drinks. They were all excellent!
We did make a reservation as it is always busy here and you are likely to not get spot without a reservation or be waiting a very long time.
The staff here was great, helpful, courteous, also a great add the the atmosphere.
Great place for date night, having high-end great meals or hanging with friends.

This is very expensive experience but truly worth it. Attentive servers, Superbly crafted entrees of beautiful presentations and epic proportions…noisy but not obnoxious romantic for couples and provides intimate tables for groups of 8. Happy hour provides BOGO drinks, expect to pay $50 to $100 per person, recommend skipping appetizers as meals are substantial. Highly Recommended.

What great food and great times!
The steak was delicious with the sauce. I reccomend ordering the steak on the hot rock because of the experience. It was fun and delicious. The seafood pasta was beyond delicious. I reccomend getting the lobster (extra cost) because it comes with the butter and who doesnt like lobster and butter? Lol

A Birthday Celebration to Remember!
We recently visited this gem of a restaurant to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the service was prompt, warm, and attentive—setting the tone for a truly memorable evening.
Our group sampled a variety of dishes, with several friends opting for steaks that were cooked to perfection. I chose the swordfish, which was beautifully seared and bursting with flavor, while my wife enjoyed a comforting and delicious chicken pot pie that felt like a gourmet hug in a bowl.
The highlight of the evening? A whimsical birthday surprise: a cotton candy dish that brought out the inner child in all of us. It was a delightful and unexpected touch that made the celebration even more special.
Every plate was a hit, every bite a pleasure. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a great experience.

An absolutely fantastic dining experience! The fresh guacamole prepared right at the table was amazing — full of flavor and a great start to the meal. The meat was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection.
The service was outstanding: our server was very attentive, helpful with recommendations, and always around when needed, but never intrusive — exactly what great service should be.
Portions are generous, and the price-to-quality ratio is excellent. As visitors from Germany, we were truly impressed by both the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended — we would definitely come back!

Some places announce themselves loudly. Barbacoa Grill doesn’t need to — it lets the room, the fire, and the first bite do the talking.
I remember noticing the light before the food. Low, warm, almost theatrical. The kind that makes you sit back a little straighter, like you’ve entered a scene rather than a restaurant. Then the smells hit — smoke, spice, something slow-cooked and confident. At that point, you already know you’re not rushing this meal.
The menu reads bold, but the execution is precise. Big flavors, yes — but controlled. Steaks cooked with intent, sauces that deepen instead of shout, sides that feel like they belong instead of filling space. Every plate arrives like it knows why it’s there. Nothing accidental.
What really seals it is the pacing. Barbacoa understands time. Courses arrive when conversation naturally pauses. Drinks show up right when you realize you want another sip. Service is present, sharp, and smooth — never interrupting the moment.
This isn’t a casual drop-in spot. It’s a place for marking something: a decision, a reunion, a night you want to remember clearly. You don’t leave thinking “that was a good dinner.”
You leave thinking, that was an experience — and it knew exactly what it was doing.

Barbacoa Grill Boise absolutely knocked it out of the park — our dinner felt like it was pulled straight from a romance novel with a hilarious twist. Managers Blake and Mike, along with our amazing server Christian, made sure we were spoiled rotten the entire night. Every time we thought the evening couldn’t get any better, they proved us wrong in the best way. Dining here was the Best. Decision. Ever. Our taste buds are still applauding.

It’s been a few years since I have been to Barbacoa. Tonight we came in for my husband’s company late Christmas Christmas party. Last year we celebrated at their sister restaurant Coa Del Mar and enjoyed every bit of it. My husband and his co workers can’t get enough of the filet hot rock. It was an unanimous vote to come to Barbacoa to celebrate our post holiday dinner.
Our first interactions coming in was not pleasing. I will have to say, the hostesses were quite rude and unorganized. Our table had already checked in and sat. We were the last ones to show up. The hostess had a hard time locating our reservation even though our party was already somewhere in the dining area. We repeated the reservation name to her several times. Clearly she wasn’t paying attention since we had to say it over and over again. After several attempts, she finally located our party. “Someone will guide you to your table”. After standing there for a bit we realized no one was going to “guide us” anytime soon. It’s such a shame that we started our experience with this kind of service. We ended up just locating our party on our own. She was completely useless in the help department.
Our server had gotten drinks started for our table since we got there late. She got us squared away after we got ourselves situated. We breezed over the menu while she grabbed our sodas. Guac was also started for the table. The table side guacamole never disappoints. We toasted, enjoyed our appetizer and hung out till our server was ready to take our orders.
I ordered the ribeye tonight. My husband got the filet hot rock with a couple of his co workers. I asked for my ribeye to be really well done. With my new kidney, I can’t really have undercooked steak. Our server reassured me that my steak will be cooked well done and that it was going to be great. For my side I got some asparagus. I have had the asparagus every time I have eaten here and it’s always fantastic.
It was busy tonight and there were quite a few of us in our group so our food did take a minute to get prepared. But after everything was dropped off, I knew it was worth the wait. Our food looked phenomenal! The gentleman who poured my husband’s cognac sauce did a great job, great presentation. I got my beautiful ribeye on a black board placed in front of me. My friend next to me ordered the salmon. On her salmon was a vibrant orchid. It added such an elegant touch to her plate. Everyone’s food looked fantastic.
This is where I compliment the chef. My ribeye was juicy, flavorful and it had outstanding char marks on it. For my ribeye to be cooked well done, it was so tender. The sauce that was paired with it was tangy and spicy. It was the perfect sauce for my ribeye. The asparagus once again was money. I ate a little more than half of my steak and I look forward to finishing it tomorrow.
Dessert was a must after we finished dinner. I have had the fried ice cream pops in the past. They are too good! But the bananas foster was calling my name tonight. Our friends next to us ordered the same dessert. The rest of the party got the fried ice cream pops. The presentation for the bananas foster was magnificent. We dug right in after the flame went out. The bread pudding was divine. The gelato that came on the side was sweet and creamy. Paired together the bread pudding and gelato was the ultimatecombination. As full as I was, I had to finish this lovely dessert.
Our start wasn’t the best. The hostesses are the first people to set the tone of your dining experience. I’m happy that our server, the vibe and of course the food made up for such horrible first interactions. Our server was on point and so was everyone else who tended to our table. With Barbacoa having such a rich and romantic vibe, it resonates in their food. Everything about tonight was lovely. Looking forward to coming back when it’s warmer so we can sit out on the patio by the water. I can’t think of a better way to enjoy to have dinner.

Our visit to the Boise Barbacoa last week of August was amazing. Due to traffic we decided to go early & arrived 30 minutes early. The hostess welcomed us without hesitation and we were seated immediately. The early morning rain cooled the evening to a perfect temp. Also, we were seated in a perfect area of the restaurant patio… see the video.
After sitting down, we were served sparkling water and offered cocktails & appetizers. We ordered from Cole our awesome waiter who was friendly & helpful. The clams, bread & cocktails didn’t disappoint.
Cole & his assistant checked on us to make sure all was good and water was refilled. At the same time telling us what the daily dinner special was and letting us know that it would be a good time to order.
We both ordered the hot rock filet steak & cognac sauce with scallops and asparagus. Wow, all were delicious!
From start to finish it was all 5 star! Even on the way out, many of the staff thanked us for coming. What a class act. Thanks to all & especially Cole.
