    I’ve never been here before, I planned a birthday brunch with my friends. Their website says they serve brunch and they did not. The service was very slow and the food was mediocre for the descriptions they have. I probably won’t be back because i went for the experience and it was not what i expected.

    We had friends visiting from out of town and I raved about western proper. I even sent them the menu from the website. They knew what they wanted when we arrived, only to be told that brunch was no longer available as they are changing menus. Okay, let’s transition to a lunch menu….but we’d still like coffee, but they were out of creamer, so we asked if there was anything else they may be out of, no. Until we ordered the breakfast pizza, yep, they were out of that. The food was less than flavorful and I just wish they would have been upfront with those who made a reservation at 11am on Sunday that the brunch menu listed on the website would not be available, so we could’ve made a choice to keep our reservation or not. My normal 5 stars on one of my favorite brunch spots in Boise wouldn’t be getting 2 stars. Communication is key.

    This venue is too noisy for us old folks. I didn’t experience the noise level as “lively; I found it overwhelming. We had to shout at each other to be heard above the din. Food was unimaginative and way overpriced. My steak was good and I loved the fries and fry sauce but $33? My friend was horrified to find her pricey burger had American cheese on it. Special drinks were outrageously expensive at $15 per drink. Desserts were boring and not worth it. Four of us agreed that we will not be going back.

    The atmosphere is great the service was all great. The alcohol is way over priced, so much that unless it’s happy hour we would not go back. Which is too bad cause the drinks were good. Foos was good, not fancy, but fine for what it was.

    We chose WP for the brunch. The results were overall, pretty good. The pull-apart cinnamon roll appetizer was better than homemade, but nothing else was memorable.

    Food was just okay… no offerings of salsa, sour cream just chips along with a quesadilla. Chicken with sticky rice could have used something (bed of rice and chicken breast was boring) Had to wait for silverware / napkins after food arrives. Poor beer selection (no domestics?)

    We had to wait for an hour and fifteen minutes after we ordered our food. It was cold and my son’s biscuits were hard as a rock. My chicken was over cooked and hard around the edges. It was very expensive as well. We did like the games and overall atmosphere of the place. Our server was very nice and apologetic for the kitchen being so slow.

    Overall it was a good experience. The service towards the end was lacking and we waited an unnecessary amount of time to get the birthday cookie. When it came, the server literally set on the end of the table and walked away without saying a word. Didn't bother to make sure it was put in front of the person who's birthday it was.

    We ended up leaving because a server didn’t show up for 15 minutes. A table nearby was sat immediately after us and their server showed up right away. The table next to us had a server - different one - but she never made eye contact with us so we could ask if she knew if someone was assigned. It was strange because the restaurant was only half full. We had a reservation so they knew we were coming. Eventually we got up and left. We stopped by the host stand to let them know and they just said OK.

    I was surprisingly disappointed at how horrible the bar service was. Our table did not receive our drink orders until we were finished with our meal. I understand on busy nights how things can get hectic, however this was 4pm in the afternoon. Our server was rude when asked about our drink order and acted bothered when we asked her to take the drinks off our tab since we had not received them and were finished eating. We most likely will not be going back.

    Don’t get me wrong, the food was decent and the place itself was very cool. The waitress did an ok job. However, we ordered drinks and when our appetizer arrived before our drinks we were told the bar was a little behind and that our drinks would take a little longer than usual. We completed the app and our entrees and still never saw our drinks. The manager would peek his head into the room we were seated in but did not make any effort to interact with any customers and did nothing to help the bar/remedy the situation. We’d gone for a special occasion and it was an overall let down.

    I made a reservation for brunch and was seated in the open area at lounge chairs and a tiny coffee table which barely had space for coffee cups and plates. It was incredibly loud (even without bowling) so difficult to have a 1x1 convo. Food was great but expensive. Great venue for a cocktail but not brunch and catching up with a friend.

    We were very pleased with Western Proper. It was our first date in a long while. It did take about 10 minutes after being seated to see our server and receive water. It was another 15 minutes before we were able to order our drinks for happy hour - we had to flag the server over. There were 2 more groups that were seated in that time, so they seemed somewhat busy, but other couples that came in 5+ minutes after us were taken care of first. Not a big deal, but frustrating when we came in for happy hour and then felt like our orders might not be put in on time. The food was fantastic. I had been there just once before for the cookie dessert, and it was so delicious, I wanted to take my husband there for dinner. We had the queso and meatballs for appetizers. Both were really good and filling. We split the breakfast pizza. It reminded me of one of my favorite restaurants in Jackson Hole, Trio: an American Bistro. I miss that place so much, so it was really wonderful to have a place like it in Boise. We ended up taking home most of the pizza, as our drinks (espresso martini and spicy margarita) plus the 2 appetizers were very filling. BUT we still left room for the freshly baked cookie in a cast iron pan with vanilla ice cream on top. Just so decadent and delicious. The dessert is served with a huge sparkler: something I neglected to tell my husband about. As an introvert, he was worried, but it was so fun to not only have the sparkler, but to see him laughingly embarrassed. We didn't have a chance to play any games, so that will have to wait for next time. Bathrooms were very clean, and the ambiance was lovely. The dining room had the front window open and the weather was perfect; draped from the ceiling were big brass baubles that were very striking, along with fake pothos, which looked very realistic. All in all, we will be making this our regular date night place - it's not inexpensive, but the food is some of the best we have had in Boise, worth the price.

    Food was very bland. Ordered Tacos, Pizza, and chicken sandwiches. Beer quality is poor compared to other local breweries. Server seemed new but was courteous. Very overpriced and underwhelming. Your paying more for venue than good food or beer.
