My wife and I dine at Riceworks weekly. Our friends from Arizona were in town this weekend so of course we had them join us for dinner. They loved the Sushi and Mahi-mahi!

Peaceful Belly Farms in Caldwell, Idaho, was the perfect spot for a memorable luncheon and adventure with four friends from out of town and myself to celebrate our 38th college reunion. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charming and inviting outdoor atmosphere. The farm’s picturesque surroundings, including lush fields of a variety of vibrant flowers and plants, lambs, and thoughtfully designed walking pathways adorned with unique artwork, created an idyllic setting that truly enhanced our experience. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—which added to the overall enjoyment of our day. The peaceful environment, combined with the quaint charm of the farm, made us feel relaxed and connected in nature. Our time together was precious, filled with laughter, reminiscing, and creating new memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. I highly recommend Peaceful Belly Farms for anyone seeking a serene, scenic, and memorable venue for gatherings, celebrations, or simply a peaceful retreat. It’s a hidden gem that offers not only wonderful food and surroundings but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit special. Be sure to visit the farm's store as well; it is full of its own unique treasures!

BEST MEAL EVER. Every time. From the moment you approach the restaurant until after you've paid your bill you are treated like a special guest at someone's home. There is such creativity expertly applied to every dish. The attention to detail and use of local, seasonal ingredients is unparalleled. As an example, we recently enjoyed trout cooked sous vide style in bees wax. It was the creamiest, silkiest and most delicious trout ever. Another example was the honey cake with black locust icing and dark mead caramel sauce made with local products from the hive. Incredible! We've dined with people who, like us, have traveled the world and 4/5 of them have said "That is the best meal I've ever had". Nuff said. If you've not yet been to KIN, book a dinner today. Also, checkout their walk-in bar Art Haus for the same great experience with more casual fare.

My wife and I love this place and always make reservations on special occasions. DianaJo is an outstanding server and the Bison Short Rib and Lobster Shrimp Ravioli were to die for as usual, but there isn't anything on the menu that will disappoint.

So much fun! The food and decor were great! There are two main rooms, one dark and moody with 1880's steam punk vibes and the other light and airy and Alice in Wonderland vibes. Great food and espresso drinks too! Don't miss the bathrooms, they are fun too!
