    We had an amazing time. The interior design was fantastic; very eclectic and trendy. There was always something to look at in design element that would take your breath away. The service was outstanding. The servers have all been trained by someone with a lot of training and experience. They would nearly run to assist. We were greeted at our table by 3 separate owner/management staff. The food was fantastic...it was a culinary adventure and delightful. We were very sorry to hear that in the following morning, after our dining experience, there was a massive fire in the restaurant. We were both devastated by the news as there would be so much artistic design and financial loss to the owner. We want to share Babacoa with friends.

    Great fun! We took our 2 young boys (6 & 7) for an early New Year's Eve dinner and we all had a wonderful time! Everyone was very accommodating and welcoming them....they felt special. The restaurant did a great job creating a fun and special environment for New Year's Eve! The icing on the cake....AMAZING food...like always!! Barbacoa is one of our favorites!

    My wife and I go to Barbacoa fairly frequently, but we always say to each other "why don't we come here more often?" when we are there. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is incomparable - exotic, high energy. We love the combination of old world flair, hip art, dynamic bar scene, and fun menu. Our most recent visit was for New Years Eve, but the resteraunt also has nice outdoor seating overlooking a lake for warm weather dining. I recommend Barbacoa for couples or groups. Barbacoa has a sophisticated, high energy feel to it, but one can also find intimate tables for a romantic evening out. This is the best resteraunt in Boise by far.

    I submitted my Open Table Dining Cheque along with my credit card when presented with the dinner check. The waiter took them and next thing the manager comes over and says Barbercoa does not accept the Open Table Cheque. He said he had never seen one before and therefore called the owner and the owner said the cheques are not in their contract. After an embarrassing few minute discussion the manager took the OTDC and "comped" our dinner $50. This was a special date I had planned and everything was great except for the dining cheque ordeal. What exactly is your policy? According to your "Help" page all Open Table restaurants should accept these cheques. Please advise. Thank you and Happy New Year! Tricia Fitzgerald

    Coming from Dallas, we were not expecting to find such good food in Boise. Barbacoa had amazing food in a trendy, scenic setting. The only flaw was the hostess. We were originally sat at a small table behind a brick wall crammed next to 2 tables of large groups (10+). This was early on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was very empty. I typically don't complain about seating arrangements since they are usually pre-planned. However, this was obviously not thought through. I asked to be reseated and we were moved to a booth looking toward the hills where we could sit side by side and be somewhat isolated. Made for a MUCH better evening.
