Me and my husband came here for Valentine’s Day and Hemlock made it beyond special. We drove over an hour to come here and we don’t typically go to such a high end restaurant but it was worth it! I was nervous about the prefixed menu just because I haven’t heard great things about it from people and I am gluten free. But hemlock had a perfect menu!! (Also custom menus so cute) It was special, creative, and delicious. When you first arrived they took a polaroid photo of you, that was thoughtful. The seafood cart was a perfect touch to the menu. The ribeye was perfectly cooked, sides were great. The dessert which was gluten free I could have licked the plate. The sage grouse was the best whiskey drink I’ve ever had. The service was perfect. Kimber was so sweet and accommodating! The nice gentlemen that assisted her were great at picking up plates, filling waters, and even wiping down the table between each meal. I loved that they had someone playing music during some points of the night. Thank you hemlock for making our valentines so special and memorable. Will be coming back and recommending it to all!

Hands down one of the best bar and restaurant experiences we’ve had in Boise.
Lucas, our bartender and server, was phenomenal. Attentive, warm, and genuinely made us feel at home, which is rare these days. Service like that changes everything.
The wine selection is elite, and serving it in proper Riedel glasses shows they actually care about the experience. The happy hour menu is unreal. My husband said the burger might be the best he’s ever had in his life. Truffle fries, house-made ketchup, steak skewers, every bite was on point.
Valet parking made it effortless and fast, which matters. The atmosphere is classy without trying too hard, and the interior design is stunning. You feel like you’re somewhere special the moment you walk in.
This is officially our new regular happy hour spot. Hemlock nailed it.

My husband and I came for my 60th birthday. The Rib eye hands down the best we have had and this says allot for us. The pork chop after 1/3 in it became too sweet but cooked perfectly I might add and tasty. Mashed potatoes compliment the corn creme brule side dish otherwise it would be too sweet. Side dishes were generous in portion. The brussel sprouts while unique and a flavor we had not had before was soupy and had cole slaw style to it. Watching the table side potato for 40.00 we certainly don’t see the value there. There were no gf deserts unfortunately when they offer so many gf dishes here. Disappointing. The servers were quite interesting. However we will say the service was good, not 5 star by all means, the caliber of staff doesn’t meet the standard of food and price point you pay here. From our knowledge and experience in Restaraunts you typically would have a more elevated type of employees.

Hemlock Steakhouse was a good overall experience, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. The steak was decent, but I’ve definitely had better steaks at a better price point. In my opinion, it felt a bit overpriced for what was served.
That said, I really enjoyed the baked Brussels sprouts, and the mashed potatoes were very good. I also appreciated the personalized menu acknowledging my anniversary — that was a thoughtful and special touch.
It was a nice adventure and a pleasant evening overall, but it’s probably not a place I would return to.

We had a Valentine brunch-lunch at Hemlock and loved it. We received a very warm and personable welcome. The restaurant has a beautiful interior and an upbeat, smiling staff all around. Cocktails were great, the mushroom bisque alone is worth a return trip, and the charred Caesar was excellent. My husband’s steak was perfectly medium-rare with standout black garlic aioli.
Even late in the afternoon, the service was incredibly attentive. We could see staff setting up for the Valentine’s dinner, polishing glasses and silverware with real care and double-checking every table. Our server asked if we’d like a Valentine photo on our phone and later surprised us with a Polaroid from the restaurant as well. We were thanked several times on the way out.
The staff seemed to truly enjoy being there and took pride in their level of service, which says a lot. Friendly, thoughtful, warm, and polished without feeling stuffy. We’ll definitely be back. It was a lovely experience. Thank you!

10/10 will eat here again.
My wife and I flew to Boisie from Phoenix just to come to this restaurant for our anniversary. It had popped up on social media for me a few times and looked like a great experience. They did not disappoint.
Service: I booked a reservation for our anniversary. When we arrived our table was ready along with a custom printed menu saying happy anniversary and the date. Great way to kick things off. Table side service was prompt, incredibly friends, and not over barring.
Food: you 100% get what you pay for. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, no need for salt or sauces. The baked potato for 2 stole the night. Great presentation and fun experience.
Atmosphere: dark and eloquent. It was not too loud, even for a full restaurant.

My fiancée and I went here for dinner to celebrate my birthday on a Saturday night. It could not have been a better experience overall. When we went to check in for our reservation, the manager was there to greet us and take us to our table. As soon as we sat down, water was poured into our glasses and specially-printed menus were placed in front of us, wishing me a happy birthday. That was a special touch.
We had the pleasure of getting Jonny as our server. Jonny was incredibly helpful, polite, and ensured our experience overall was perfect. We asked for his thoughts on multiple parts of the dinner, particularly choices in wine, steak, and dessert. All of his recommendations were fantastic.
What’s also unique about this steakhouse is they have a table side potato bar. I don’t know why other restaurants haven’t thought of this. It’s the perfect Idaho idea! All that to say, they sequenced the dinner perfectly so that as soon as our potato for two people was ready and set on the table, our filets were landing in front of us, perfectly warm and ready to eat.
This location had someone dedicated to clearing off empty dishes. We would see him perform laps around the restaurant about every minute or so. Within a minute of us finishing our food, the plates were gone. Water never went below half-full and was refilled promptly.
For dessert, we got 2 free Charcoal Lemon Drops to celebrate my birthday. We also ordered the crustless cheesecake. This was a perfect option as I don’t eat gluten.
Overall, the atmosphere, people, and food were all so enjoyable. We will be back again soon and will be requesting Jonny as our server again. Thank you for the wonderful time, Hemlock!

Our server Cameron was amazing! She was so nice and knew the menu very well.
The restaurant is definitely not super fancy like I was expecting with the menu pricing. We’re from Dallas so I think I was expecting more but it was nice for Boise.
The filet mignon was perfect melted in your mouth, don’t waste any time on any other steak!
The lobster tail was very disappointing. They said it was a “Caribbean” lobster tail after I had sent it back because it was very tough. They made me feel like I was stupid for not knowing where the lobster tail came from and as if my pallet wasn’t good enough since I’m used to a “Maine” lobster, when nothing on the menu specifically says where the lobster tail comes from. So if you’re expecting a juicy and flavorful lobster tail skip over this $40 one. It was dry and tough, I split it in half and ate the inside where I didn’t have to over chew. I guess they need to specify what a Caribbean lobster tail is and that the outside of it will be dry and tough, making you feel like it still has some sort of shell on it.
The mocktail I had on the other hand, was amazing and can imagine their other cocktails would be quite delicious! The table side baked potato is 10/10 and what makes the whole experience worth it.

Me and the wife went here a couple weeks ago and the food and service was incredible. Shout out to Izzy for being an awesome bartender! Went on Christmas eve and the service was as good as the last time. We had Spencer both times for our potatoe guy. The second time we requested him because of how good he is. I hate potatoes and I told the wife I would come back here just for the baked potatoe. Lastly our server Kimber was phenomenal and took great care of us. All of these servers need a raise immediately. Outstanding experience all around.

I was excited about trying this place out and it was unique. We got the bread service 5/10, French onion soup 9/10, ribeye 10/10, and broccolini and carrots 7/10.
The bread was a huge miss for us. It came out pretty dry and the insides were cold. The presentation was unique but it was just a miss. However, French onion soups was delicious but a tad too salty. Ribeye was amazing but the flavor combinations for the broccolini and carrots were strange and had some Hispanic flare to them which was strange for an American restaurant. They were good but they didn’t necessarily blend well.
Overall it was an amazing environment and service was top notch but it was extremely expensive and some of the flavors were off.
