Barbacoa Grill Boise steakhouse

What a wonderful experience!! From the very moment we walked in! Our table was ready with no wait, our server very witty , charming, the food outstanding !! We started off with the best lemon drop martini served beautifully with ice sculptured martini glass. Kept the cocktail chilled to perfection!! Started off with oysters on the half shell and crab cakes...outstanding !! Next fillet mignon and lobster served on a hot rock !! Truly a visual experience as it was practical. The rock keep the steak warm the entire meal !! Magical taste experience. We took home some triple chocolate mouse...which was the best i ever had . One of the best dining experience I had in a long time !! 5☆☆☆☆☆

The best meal I've had in a long time! Service was outstanding...food came out fast even though the place was Packed. Happy hour is SO worth it 4-6 buy 1 get 1 couldn't of been happier with my experience! Well done to staff IL be back 💯 👏👌

Really cool atmosphere. Staff is excellent, really nice, attentive The ribs were dry, the sauteed mushroom side dry and boring and I love mushrooms and I couldn't eat much of it ... , my husband got a clam appetizer and he enjoyed it but MANY of the clams had lost their meat and they weren't on the bottom, he got paella for dinner, it was "pretty good, not amazing, not bad, not worth $36"... Desserts were large and yummy. It's good. The food is not great, just good, not worth the price.

Food was good, with the exception of the Tuna tartare. This is supposed to be one of their dishes that they are known for and it was bland, no taste and served with lettuce, which kept the bland affect. Crab cakes, steak, artichoke bites all were very good. Fried cheesecake bites were scrumptious and drinks were decently good! Service was personable and prices were very high and a louder atmosphere, but overall a nice dinner.

This is one of the more expensive restaurants but it is seriously one of the best steak restaurants we have ever been to and definitely well worth the money. The atmosphere is a little dark but nice and relaxing. The alcoholic drinks are good and the food is phenomenal! We got their flatbread appetizer and it was delicious! For our entree we ended up getting the special of the night, which was prime rib with a truffle sauce and lobster tails and man we were in heaven! My husband did the hot rock for his where they "light it on fire" for a second. No, it doesn't burn the food and it is really fun to watch! For dessert we got their deep fried cheesecake and the chocolate mousse. Everything was just incredibly fantastic in taste and in appearance. Our waiter was awesome and overall we had an amazing time! I highly recommend going here!

This restaurant blew my mind. They were able to accommodate my larger group with little notice, they have a pretty magical large dining room upstairs, but to get there you have to go through this dark little hallway and up a spiral staircase. My team had the most positive restaurant experience we’ve ever had. The service was quick, accurate and polite. The food was OUT. STANDING. Everything we ordered was perfection. 10/10 would come here again, as soon as possible!! Thank you Barbacoa!!

I drove by a few times but I finally tried the other day. The other day I just got chips, guacamole, and an horchata but I went back today for some...

Great food, but service was hit or miss depending where you are seated and what is going on. Our most recent visit was not the best but they were very attentive on a separate dinner visit months ago. We had reservations and were seated on time but waited almost an hour to even order food, even after asking for our server three different times to three different people. On our third ask we got someone that seemed upset we hadn't been helped and immediately got us taken care of. There was a storm and they had to move outdoor guests indoors and apparently this resulted in some confusion for our server about who was staffing our table. For how much money you spend to eat here, you shouldn't fall between the cracks, even with having to move tables or repeat some guests. Especially when you consider that should be a pretty normal occurrence when they have outdoor patio seating. Someone should ensure it can be handled smoother and not leave guests asking several times for service over an hour. It was our anniversary dinner and my husband and I enjoyed the time and are pretty mellow and understanding but it would've been nice to have management apologize or offer a dessert or something once they realized what had happened. I would definitely give the restaurant another chance in the future but it was disconcerting that management didn't make any attempts to formally apologize or check in with us afterward to ensure amends were made. I expect that when spending hundreds of dollars on dinner. I love how unique the menu is, but for the price, I expect misunderstandings to be handled better and to not feel forgotten for almost an hour. Several tables around us came ate and left while we sat with waters but dinner was delicious and dessert was phenomenal.

Fun, busy, happening place. Tends to be very loud when busy. Good waitstaff. Overlooks lake. Some outside seating on patio / balcony. Good food. Lots of creative drinks coming from bar. Recommended.

Top notch fancy restaurant in a very beautiful location with very nice staff and talented cooks. It is expensive though but it is a fun place to go to every year or two. I ordered a steak and they brought the stick out on a rock and burned it to my liking on our table. The cups are made of sculpted ice and the restaurant has never failed to entertain. The food was amazing 👏 😋
