We had dinner this evening we had a gift certificate from our kids who couldn't rave enough about the food and ambiance. We had a different feeling about the food. Our waiter only 2nd day on the job he was all over the place taking our order. My husband order the New York; rare our friend ordered medium well. We were so hungry we had early reservations at 3:30...we waited to eat we were starving. I asked for a bite of my husband steak it was really more tough and I noticed how well done it was and our friend got my husbands rare New York steak, when we looked at the two steaks we noticed the mix up. People that eat rare meat don't like medium (unless their really hungry. I explained to our server and he at first said he didn't notice and finally agree he messed up. He was so all over making sure our friend could eat it rare. I told the server we are extremely disappoint and I thought he should replace my husbands half eaten steak he argued and offered us a desert.I had salmon it was dry and hard with bo sauce just garlic mashed potatoes...worst salmon ever. I told the guy at the door when I was leaving and he said he heard about the steak fiasco....no big deal for him. I was so excited heard wondythings about the food. Very disappointed not impressed at all wast of $250 dollars-don't waste your time and money Should have gone to Barbacoa!!!! read more

Four couples made the drive from Payette to Anderson's Reserve on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. Great drive , especially if you can talk someone else into doing the driving....out in the middle of nowhere, but an interesting drive. Impressive from the minute you walk in. With the virus we reserved outdoor seating and with the umbrellas it was very comfortable. Wife had the shrimp cocktail and strawberry salad and I had mushroom soup and stuffed chicken. The other people also had the stuffed chicken or steaks. No one was disappointed. I ordered a rib eye ( uncooked) to take home...will cook it Tuesday. About 0430 a guitarist set up and completed our perfect dinner. Will be going back. read more

Unbelievable. I can't believe we didn't discover Anderson Reserve sooner! We went for our 13 year Anniversary and this will be one that we will always remember. It was so truly special! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. The service was so pleasant and the steaks, oh dear God, the steaks were absolute perfection. I ordered the filet with candied bacon, gorgonzola, sundried tomato butter and red mashed potatoes with asparagus and bruseel sprouts. Perfection. My husband ordered the Ribeye and it was cooked to perfection. I am dying to come back!!! This is by far, my new favorite restaurant. read more

I went in with high Hope's. Walked out disappointed. Steak was tough I was not impressed.

Beautiful ambiance, beautiful location, building etc. High prices for the worst food I've ever had. We love fine dining and I've never been to a place and paid that much for something so bad. I had halibut, it was the driest fish I've probably ever had, the polenta tasted like oatmeal and it was all completely tasteless. I poured salt and pepper on and it was still awful. Several others in our party ordered steaks and some were completely raw. My husband's steak was tough and tasteless. The couple next to us ordered the surf and turf and said some of it was completely cold. The chef tried to tell us that it's the way dry aged steaks are supposed to be. We've had dry aged steaks before and it was not at all like that. I feel so bad because they were the nicest people but I think they need to seriously consider firing their chef read more

The food at Anderson Reserve was well prepared; our filet was cooked to perfection. The vegetable side dish was the perfect mix of sweet and savory. While the food was incredible, the service was phenomenal. The owner, Paul, stopped by the table to check on our meal. Hailey, our server was wonderful- friendly and competent. We'll be back soon! read more

Michael G's review last night was strictly out of spite. Showed up upset at everyone for not wearing masks, was told this restaurant might not be the place for him before he was even seated. Continued to make a stink as he was leaving.....props to the owner for asking him not to return. So no doubt spite driven review. I on the other hand was eating at the same time found everything fantastic. The dry aged filet is incredible, coming from a frequent Barbacoa "Hot Rock" guy. The views are incredible, and the Andersons were so nice to everyone. Highly recommend Anderson Reserve. Word to the ADA County people coming here for dinner, masks are not worn nor should they be. If you can't handle that go to an outback steak house. read more

Okay so I really don't want to be a Karen about this because we were told so many good things before we came so I'm hoping it was just an off night. Everything leading up to the main entrees was SO GOOD. Our cheese board was good, service was FANTASTIC, best clam chowder we have had (and we love seafood) as well as salad, dessert, wine fantastic! But the main entrees was a miss. Both our steaks were easy to eat but bland as cardboard. My potato side was cold as ice (and yes we asked if that was the right way it should've come out) the lobster was undercooked and bland. The only thing that was good was Brussel sprouts and that's saying something. Our service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was amazing but for the price of dinner and the disappointment from the steak...I'm sad even writing this. I'm hoping that this review will help them reevaluate the main entrees because we would love to love this place. read more

Anderson Reserve - Filet Mignon, ribeye with lobster - Steakhouses Near Me - Sweet, Idaho

This gem of a place is tucked away in Sweet Idaho, and it was on our to-do list. We've only been there for lunch, but my wife and I have been there 3 times and have taken different people every time. The patio dining is wonderful and the food is great. We've each had something different every visit and have not been disappointed. As a bonus suggestion, if you like to grill at home pick up their dry aged beef. We took home a couple of filets and they were the best I've ever made at home. read more

We have been here several times since Anderson Reserve opened...the food is fantastic, the service is superb, the owners are wonderful (always making sure we are happy with things, chatting with us, etc.) This is our "go-to" restaurant for a wonderful "date night experience". Love this place, the food, the atmosphere, the music (usually a person playing a guitar and wooing us with beautiful music), I can't say enough good things about this establishment. read more

Food was great, atmosphere stunning. Then dessert frozen cake. They need to teach wait staff what dairy is. Told me no dairy but it had mouse and cheese cake layers, dairy, I am allergic. read more

I rarely give a 4 star review on a restaurant or business. Anderson reserve has a beautiful venue. The staff were superb! The drinks were good and different. Their garnish was a little wilted but the taste made up for it. We had 2 appetizers, the Rocky Mountain oysters and Crispy Halloumi both were very good! The cowboy cut steak was cooked perfectly, it was over garnished with vegetable medley which was good but the raw tomato on my steak was not to be desired, the potatoes was different over cooked in my opinion. Otherwise wonderful! The Filet was delicious, tender and cooked to perfection! The shrimp were like precooked, previously frozen, but still tasty. Overall, it is totally worth the drive and experience. read more

When I discovered Anderson Reserve, I was looking for an alternative to the Boise classics. I was surprised when I saw a brunch with great ratings...and I was even more surprised when I saw that it was in Sweet. Brunch is not brunch without a bloody Mary or a mimosa, and I was concerned about driving "that far." In reality, it takes longer to get from our house in Eagle to the freeway than it does from our house to Anderson Reserve. Our brunch was amazing, from start to finish. The barn-style restaurant is "country elegant and the setting is gorgeous. Great music accompanied our flawless meal. I HIGHLY recommend Anderson Reserve! read more

This is a 5 Star restaurant all around! We have enjoyed dinner at Anderson Reserve twice now and absolutely blown away both visits. The atmosphere and scenery is breath taking and enjoyable. Enjoy live music and fun traditions during your visit. Upon entering you will be friendly greeted most likely by the owner Paul or his parents. All of the staff we have encountered has provided excellent service and has been extremely friendly and inviting. You feel like family when you are here. The food is to die for! Everything we have eaten there has been absolutely delicious and talked about for days after. Do expect a bit of wait for your main dish after ordering, but don't fret you'll have appetizers and soups/ salads at your table quickly, enjoyable live music, and friendly staff all around. And trust me that wait is WELL worth it! We will continue coming back! read more

We visited Anderson Reserve for the first time yesterday for lunch to celebrate our anniversary. Very disappointed! When we arrived we were seated upstairs and it was freezing, so we elected to go outside. Very nice covered area. We had to shoo flies from our food the entire meal. First I ordered a bubbly mojito- no mint, couldn't taste lime, sent back for a mule instead. Was charged for both drinks. The charcuterie board was good. My husband ordered the finger steaks - there was such a think crusty coating on them, it was difficult to taste the filet minion inside. I ordered the crab cake burger. I should have realized that you need to be near an ocean to get good tasting crab! The burger was very fishy tasting and more filling than crab. Do not recommend! We have a gift certificate to use up, so we'll try again for dinner and hope our experience is better. If we didn't have the certificate, I don't think I would return. Very nice people, and the service was great, but the taste and quality of food wasn't even close to the cost we paid. read more

Anderson Reserve Is a beautiful surprise. It is located in Sweet, Idaho in an absolutely stunning location. Came for brunch, had delectable Crab Benedict. Live music is also a wonderful plus. Fortunate enough to meet the fascinating owner who has a true love of Idaho. Menu changes with fresh ingredients. There is also a butcher shop here with an incredible history. read more

Discovered Anderson's on a trip through Sweet. They have dry aged beef to die for. They often have live music. They recently expended the patio to provide as much indoor as outdoor seating. read more

I wanted so bad to like this place but there must have been a problem in the kitchen! Two NY strips ordered medium rare came out well done and two halibuts were cooked dry. Such beautiful ingredients utterly ruined. What a shame. The risotto and waitstaff was pleasant though. read more

I can't rave enough about this place!!! We stopped in, just hoping to check it out because we have 2-year-old twins and we didn't want to take them in an establishment where they might draw attention. But we were welcomed immediately by the owner's father, Dennis, and he was wonderful. He and his wife made us instantly feel like family. The owner, Paul, stop by and talk with us for a little bit and welcomed us. We learned how Paul built the establishment with his own hands and I can't speak highly enough about his craftsmanship. The building, both inside and outside, are amazing. It's the perfect blend of refined country and elegance. The food was also amazing. We ordered the meat and cheese board and the small was much larger than we expected. They are known for their meats and ordering a steak is an absolute must! Be sure to stop by this place for a romantic evening or bring the family out for Sunday brunch. read more

It was Grand Opening weekend at Anderson Reserve..what an amazing place. I went over for brunch and glad I did. It was a difficult decision between the Crab Benedict and the Salmon BLTA, I went with the Benedict. A good choice however I'm sure the BLTA would have been delicious as well. Oh and the country potatoes..very good! I look forward to trying something off the dinner menu in the near future. read more

Atmosphere is great. However, food (chef) and service staff is extremely lacking and uneducated for how fine dining this restaurant try's to be. We ordered a bottle of champagne off the wine list for a birthday celebration. Server brought out no joke a bottle of warm Cooks and attempted to serve us with only saying, I was able to "find" this, hope that's okay. They tried to charge us $50, for COOKS, it's $4 at the store. Also, BOTH white wines were served warm?! Steak was good quality but not seasoned at all. Plates came out just a mess, not wiped and finger prints all over them. Steak was overcooked and the rest of the steak entree was just not good, with raw cherry tomato and wilted greens "garnish" and a small amount of unseasoned boring smashed potatoes and bland vegetables. especially for $50, I was disappointed. Also, the Bone marrow appetizer was a joke, they were done wrong and very overpriced, $18 for two small bones cut vertically, not horizontally like they should be served. I got one bite of marrow out of the 2 bones. Desserts were just weird, huge pieces of over sugared cakes, that I know were stored uncovered in a freezer cause that's exactly what they tasted like. Step up your game Anderson Reserve and Chef. read more

I had been hearing about this place for several months and when I heard they had a large patio I was like we gotta go!! This is a stunning beautiful space perfect for a nice dinner out or date night (if outdoor seating is more your thing right now they have a huge patio). I'd recommend a reservation around 7:30 that way you'll be on the patio right around sunset otherwise it'll be a little too hot. Once the sun sets you are in for a treat, gorgeous views and relaxed dining atmosphere. This restaurant is a culinary destination/treat well worth the hour drive from Boise. The food is definitely higher end (in terms of pricing) and yet it was definitely one of the best steaks in the area (as noted by several of my friends who ordered different cuts of meat). I got the beef short rib, fall off the bone tender flavorful full of flavor from their marinade. In everything they do they did it right from delicious home made salad dressings (who makes their salad dressings homemade these days haha) and their epic house made desserts. It was a wonderful evening a definite must try if you are looking for a nice night out or a delicious steak (they have a great reservation system and work well with groups; top notch customer service).. read more

What a joke. Horrible food, warm drinks, the worst cut of meat your could think of and an owner that isn't fit to flip burgers at Mc Donald's. Food quality less than your neighborhood Golden Coral would serve. Good luck pal you won't be around long. Do yourself a favor and save the drive time and treat yourself to a real dining experience at a quality establishment. There was seven in our party and everyone was served a cold flavorless poor quality meal. Everyone had the same horrible experience and two of our meals were sent back to the kitchen. Absolutely awful. read more

We came here on our last night in town visiting family. Honestly I'm very disappointed with this place. The reviews we read set us up for a fabulous evening. This is not what we had. Our food took so long to even come out. Three of the four steaks were amazing! The asparagus and au gratin potatoes (actually diced potatoes) weren't cooked all the way. The lobster tail and shrimp were cold. They offered free dessert because of the issues we had, and then didn't give the correct ones. They took a discount off the bill but could only do it in one of the bills. For the hour drive out there... definitely wouldn't recommend it. read more

Beautiful patio perfect for enjoying the fall afternoon. Appetizers were good. Steak was just okay for the price. I felt that the chef tried too hard to be "fancy" instead of perfecting the basics. I was disappointed for the price. Desserts were good. Very disappointed that there was zero social distancing and no one wore masks despite a major spike in cases for our state read more

Pretty disappointing we ordered Dry Aged NY strip steaks. We didn't notice on the pickup they had bones in. For the price we paid for these streaks we were not happy to be paying for bones and all other times we have never had this happen before. I have never had NY steak with bones. Very disappointing and will most likely not order steaks from them again. It is a nice place and had a number of great lunches there but this really put a bad taste for them now. read more

Pretty overrated, in my opinion. Expected more, especially at their prices and with their "prime" butcher shop. Steak was average at best. Requested Med-rare and came Med-well as did the other steaks ordered in our party. Service was mediocre. Overall, not impressed. Pretty disappointed after all the hype. I can find better steaks and better meals around Boise without the drive and the inflated prices. Likely won't go back. read more

Awesome meats and food, bit expensive but worth it. Menu is always changing and usually fantastic. Good selection of local wine and beer.

This restaurant came highly recommended and turned out to be a huge disappointment. The ambiance was very nice but the staff was not well trained for a fine dining restaurant and the food was very ordinary. But, they made up for it by overcharging. We drove an hour to get there to get $48 tough steaks and tiny salads. Because I told the staff as I was leaving that the meal wasn't good, the manager followed me to my car and told me to never come back. I responded that he did not need to worry about that. My recommendation: Don't waste your time! read more

The drive is not worth it. The food was fine. Not good and not memorable. They do not offer a children's menu nor did they try in anyway to accommodate ... actually far from it. Our salad was not fresh; steaks were poorly cooked. I do not in any way recommend this establishment. read more

Beautiful views, nice staff, inconvenient restaurant design, mediocre and very overpriced fare. Likely very nice for a wedding or anniversary, perhaps a corporate event, yet not a go to for much else. read more

Great food, but they are not practicing any Covid-19 reopening prodicals. Be careful, I won't go again

Beautiful setting..went in with high expectations and walked out very disappointed..from the steak to the management..not good. And to top it off was charged an automatic 20% tip for a party of 2!! Won't go back and will be happy to spread the word! read more

We tried this last evening at the recommendations of several people and an article we saw on FB about the best new restaurants in the Treasure Valley. The space is charming and the friendly owners were there to greet everyone. Friendly and efficient wait staff as well. It totally lived up to the reviews. Food was delicious and portions were big (not sure what that 1 star review is about maybe that person is 600 lbs lol) Everything is made from scratch. I had the filet and my hubby had the Cioppino. The menu changes weekly. Can't wait to try what else the fabulous chef makes. Totally worth the drive if you live in Boise. Highly recommend! read more

Wow wow wow. This is the place. This building is straight from the Napa valley. Make a reservation for a special occasion and enjoy the drive out into the country. The service and atmosphere is unbeatable. read more

Just a day before my wife's birthday, I stumbled upon Anderson's Reserve while scrolling on the map frustrated with my local restaurant search. Sweet? Sweet?!?!? Yes. It's in Sweet, and it is SO worth the drive. My wife had the lamb that was so good, she still won't shut up about it. My ribeye, on the other hand, was in the top 3 steaks I've ever had, EVER, and was so good, I can't remember the other two. Chef Joe works magic not just with the meats but with the glazes and sauces and even makes the salad dressings. Everything here is FANTASTIC. Here you're talking about meat, butchered and aged on site, cooked to perfection and presented beautifully and in an ambience that is rustic yet stylish and classy. A family operation, they really work hard to make your meal a grand experience. Fresh? Picture this... From the time the cow's soul leaves its body, through the gentle dry aging amongst blocks of Himalayan pink salt for 30 days, to the moment you order your meal and it is expertly butchered and prepared, the Anderson family lovingly keeps control of every succulent morsel! With a menu that regularly changes, Chef Joe is allowed to focus on only things that are at their freshest and at their peak of quality. Local beef, farm to table has never had a shorter path unless you shoot the cow yourself. Service is outstanding and you are treated like a member of the family from the moment you walk in to the moment you get in your car. This is my new favorite place, hands down, and if there was a house for sale within walking distance, I would buy it so I could visit and eat with the Andersons every day. Leave Chandlers and Ruth's Chris, and everywhere else for people you don't like. Anderson's Reserve is a place you take people you really love. Oh and try the Rocky Mountain oysters! I'd never tried them before, and they were great. Thank you Anderson family. You are hitting it out of the park with this endeavor. We love you! read more

Run far and fast from this place! Overpriced, tiny portions, horrible service, mediocre food. We came here based on all the reviews and marketing, but it didn't deliver (or try to for that matter). A group of 6 of us went for Brunch last weekend. The drive was beautiful, the restaurant was great looking, the people were nice, we were seated fairly quickly, but that's were the good ended... It was fairly busy, but not that busy. Our drink order was taken, but delivered 30 minutes later. The Bloody Mary's had little or no vodka in them. All of which we weren't so concerned about. Our dinner order was finally taken 35 minuted after we arrived. Still not a big deal until we watched other tables leave, new people seated, those people get their meal, finish eating that meal, and after 1hr 10min us finally having to track the waiter down to see where ours was. He assured us it was being plated as we spoke (which it wasn't). Then 15 minutes later a nice young tattooed gentleman came to our table to let us now if was going to be 'a while' for our food because they're so busy. (Yet, some of the other tables have been served). He also assured us that he'd keep his eye on it for us. It's now been ~1.5 hours. The food finally arrived. All cold. The breakfast steak was like rawhide. This is supposed to be a steakhouse and this was the worst steak I've ever had. No biscuit with it either. The eggs benedict with shrimp came with a single tiny shrimp and on only one side. All the portions were incredibly small. The waiter came back about 10 minutes later and dropped a single plate of pancakes and said we had to sort out who gets them. These were actually warm, but raw and gooey in the middle. To finish it off, when we asked for the check to be broken out, they gave us the look of utter disgust and were totally put out by the request (this was the nice tattooed gentleman that didn't keep his eye one anything). Though, he did take 10% off the meal price, which didn't even cover one drink. Basically, this place is all visual and ZERO delivery! read more

This place has it all. Great decor, food, service, beer, wine...and the views are spectacular. We drove there from Boise, and it was well worth the trip. Highly recommended! read more

What a great place to eat! We ate lunch there today and we all something different. The 4 of us loved what we each had. The service was great. The views are outside the windows are beautiful. The ambience is fabulous. Recommend highly. We will going back and often! read more

We were excited to finally get the chance to drive out to Anderson reserve to celebrate some special occasions this past Sunday. We decided to try out the Sunday Brunch and the menu items sounded great! We were greeted right away and sat outside on the beautiful patio. The server was very good, although seemed a bit off his game. 3 of the people in our group ordered coffee and when it came it was luke warm. No biggie... but then the creamer they had out was also expired and curdled in the coffee. The server took care of that and brought fresh coffee for everyone. The first course of the meal was small but delicious. We all enjoyed. The main courses came out and looked beautiful, but they were barely warm. Almost on the cold site. The flavor was great but would have been better served hot. My husbands steak was almost raw and was barely seasoned. The other steaks were just okay (in my families words). The eggs were ordered over medium & came out hard. We overheard the table next to us saying the same. The best part of the meal was definitely the desserts. But we didn't drive an hour for dessert. Beautiful place, but not quite worth the drive I. Our opinion. read more
