   Both the food and the service is always excellent, but last nite was exceptionally good. And on a Monday nite. Who knew. So it just goes to prove that any nite is a great to go to Richards.

   Richard’s is our favorite restaurant in Boise. The food is pricey but outstanding and as a result worth those few extra dollars. The service was excellent! We will definitely be back!

   What a wonderful evening. Food was excellent. Service was attentive but not overly so, the perfect balance of service. Overly attentive can be so annoying. Noise level was low, even though the restaurant was full, allowing for easy dinner conversation. Overall I can find nothing to even nit pick about.

   Please don’t offer reservations at 8:30 when the kitchen closes at 9 and then act like we are an inconvenience when we come in for the reservation. We did not stay as we did not feel welcome. I suggest the restaurant change their reservation time options to avoid others from experiencing the same.

   Whole experience was wonderful! My husband went there for our anniversary, when we sat down at our table there was a Happy Anniversary card on the table! Waiter was great, knowledgeable and friendly! Food was excellent and because we were staying at The Inn at 500, we got a 10% discount off our dinner!

    It was Mothers Day, was expecting a notch above for the day. Picked Richards thinking it would be there, it was not. To be honest, I could prepare a better breakfast myself. Actually they wont like this, Big Bear Diner is a far better value all around... food, portions, taste, prepared well, service and value, should have taken her there, but she's a classy lady! I know its a broad comparison, but... just about any other place would have been better. The potatoes Richards served were tough and chewy, over cooked and no flavor. I could only eat about two thirds of them at best, the rest were not edible and a "very" small portion was served, and they were cold. My Mother ate half of hers. The muffin was dry and as equally tasteless, the omelette (brunch special) was good, but again very little flavor. And when my Mother asked for another tea bag for her tea, the server charged another fee and didn't refill her tea pot. Then to top it off the server was constantly interrupting, I hadn't seen my Mother for awhile, so it was a bit rude of the server in general, it was Mothers Day, I'm there for her not the server. Especially when I was asked if I had paid the check three time in fifteen minutes. When a customer puts the credit card or cash in the folder with the check, the standard is to put the CC in the slot at the top of the folder or let the cash stick out about an inch above the top of the folder to let the server know it's ready as to not continue to disrupt the patrons. I would have thought an upscale restaurant server would be aware of this, but it was not so. Very disappointed to say the least all around, will not return. First impressions matter! P.S. I spent 6 years in food service as a waiter including management in my 20"s, in the 1980's, working in Top Notch Restaurants in Los Angeles and Phoenix. My last year in the business I worked at The Pointe Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. As a Capitan at the in house restaurant, The Golden Swan.

    Our server Danielle was really great. The food has always been wonderful but that day it came out moderately warm and the pre mixed mimosa was flat, the bubbles were non existent. Next time we’ll know to order a fresh mimosa and I wouldn’t do the bottomless again.

    I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Richard's in Boise. The food was outstanding: I had the halibut with the cheese raviolis added. The accompanying egetables were fresh and tasty. The salad, which is their take on a Caesar salad using Arugula and Radicchio instead of Romaine, was great, and they included anchovies which are important. The dessert I tried was an interesting pistachio frangipane tart with a sauce of orange white chocolate mousse: innovative and superb! The wine list was good though somewhat overpriced for certain offerings, particularly the wines on which they used a Coravin to be able to offer them by the glass (as opposed to their more standard wines by the glass, which were fairly priced). Wine service was spotty, however. There was a typo on the list about the vintage of a particular wine, and they never got back to me with the answer. Also, the wine server forgot to bring me the second glass of wine I had ordered. The waiter, on the other hand, was attentive and good. Overall, however, I had a very nice dining experience at Richard's, and I would recommend it.

    Went there for brunch thinking that it would be a little bit of an elevated experience for Boise. I had the build your own Bloody Mary, which was decent but nothing to write home about. Then the food came. The biscuits and gravy were horrible. Who the hell makes biscuits and gravy with smoked turkey gravy? I thought, “maybe they have a great idea?” Nope. It was pretty tasteless and lacked luster. Then I thought the Benedict should be good. Again, let down, who makes Benedict with sliced lunch meat?!? I mean, I can make that at home. Basically, won’t be going there again. The food was inexpensive, and I can now understand why. They should raise the price and raise the value.

    We had made reservations before arriving and were seated anbout 5 minutes after our reservation time. Hostess greeted and welcomed us immediately. Our wait person was great and took care us in a courteous, and expedient manner. Food is was good. Our only disappointment was they did not have all the ingredients for one thier listed house cocktails. I had an Old Fashioned, and it was superb.

    First and last time to this place. The food quality and preparation was very poor for the price. We also were able to make reservations for 1pm for brunch not realizing they close at 1:30. It wasn't relaxing knowing they were trying to clean up and close around us.

    So arrived 10 minutes early for 7:30 pm reservation, so we expected to wait a bit. We went to the bar and got settled in and ordered drinks but when our table was ready, they couldn't get us cashed out from the bar (comedy of errors). So, then we didn't get seated until 10 minutes after our reservation time. We were probably one of the last seatings at 7:30 so everything just took a long time. Luckily, I had reviewed the memu before I got there and ordered an appetizer as we were seated. It was the only thing that came quickly. Since it was a busy time at the restaurant and likely short staffed, we didn't see the server for sometime to order our meal (app delivered by someone else). The server was friendly and helpful when around, it just took a long time. The dinner was nicely presented and good but nothing extraordinary. Then for dessert, out of 4 items all had dairy in them. The noise was pretty loud and I had a hard time hearing my companion. Just a disappointing evening since we don't eat out or splurge that often.

    Richards is not bad few basics: 1 the carpaccio - Appetizer was soaked in olive oil no cream or sauce with carpaccio. When the carpaccio, any comes with a good sauce is nice the appetizer experience could have been better Do not,please, soak the carpaccio in olive oil - that is not the idea 2 the risotto cakes / the quantity is so small is ridiculous the restaurant makes money but I get nothing in value the sauce in the risotto cakes had no flavor 3. The old fashion was waster! I could taste the whisky not bad 4 the pappardelle - entree not horrible but quantity and favor negative for the price 5. Watch it - I just heard from friends who think the same or worse. It did not used to be that way…

    The staff was excellent starting with the hostess. Trey was great, very attentive and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the variety offered on the menu and the cocktail options. It was a little difficult to hear each other, but other than that we enjoyed the ambiance. The pasta with clams was good, but would have preferred more broth. The rabbit was moist and tender. The fig flatbread was a pleasant surprise.
