Apart from the novelty of the "experience" - the building itself is nice, the view from the back of the restaurant is nice (not amazing, but nice), there was a skilled guitar player playing live music... I have no reason to come back here. The prices are absolutely exorbitant ($400 bill for a party of 8) and the food mediocre. My husband said the trout ($36) was *ok*, but literally double the price of the salmon entree ($18) that he orders at Oak Barrel in Eagle (which is really good/much better). I didn't want to spend much (someone else was treating us) and wasn't very hungry so I ordered the strawberry fields salad - a small handful of spinach, 3 strawberries, 4 candied pecans, and a small sliver of red onion ($18). I was appalled at how small it was, for that price. I can buy a large box of organic spinach at the store for $7 and make 10 of those salads. Another guest at our table ordered the shrimp and also felt it was mediocre, not much to eat, and certainly not worth $36. What was really odd was that we went to eat at 4:30pm on a weekend and yet they were already out of potatoes... I'm not sure how that happens in Idaho, but it did! Side note: I'm always courteous, respectful, and kind to our waiter/waitress but the waitress did not seem very friendly. One of the younger guests at our table accidentally knocked over a water glass (nothing broke, just spilled water on the table and some on the floor), and the staff handed us a roll of paper towels to clean it up ourselves. I went and cleaned up the water on the floor on the other side of the table with paper towels because there was a small pool of water underneath someone's chair and didn't want them to slip. I have no problem cleaning up after myself or my party (in fact I always try to clean up the table a bit after we are done eating), but their actions simply weren't a reflection of good service at a high end restaurant. Another thing to note: If you have trouble with stairs and you go to this restaurant on a cold (or really hot) day, you'll likely be seated next to the bathrooms and door to the kitchen. (That was pleasant!) If you have a hundred dollars to waste I can see that it might be really nice to sit on the patio on a warm evening and watch the sunset with a friend or love interest... Otherwise, this place isn't special, at all. I felt scammed, honestly! read more

Excellent meat and sides, with a delicious whiskey peppercorn sauce on the filet. Service was great, even though the salads came after the meal. (Kitchen got a little backed up on Mother's Day.) Grounds and scenery are beautiful. I'm looking forward to going back again! read more

They cater to the beef eater! Expensive but quality food in barn style atmosphere. Live music depending on day and times. They have a decent selection of wines, ciders and beers. They are continuously expanding. Their patio is superb for the warmer days. Note: They have two helicopter pads read more

Beautiful drive to the restaurant. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. However, food is mediocre at best. Definitely not worth the expensive prices. The food portions are very small too. We left hungry which was disappointing for spending the amount of money we did. read more

Pictured is the filet with seasonal veggies, just one of many incredible dishes my family and I had today. To say that we were impressed with this experience in Sweet, Idaho would be an understatement...we were blown away. Anderson Reserve makes a steak better than Chandler's, Owyhee Tavern, and Lock Stock & Barrel combined. 1000% worth the drive from Boise to experience this culinary treat. Thank you thank you thank you! We will be back!! read more

Anderson Reserve - FILET - Steakhouses Near Me - Sweet, Idaho

We were actually booked for an early dinner. It wasn't a busy evening yet but the service was VERY slow. 4 tables received their plates before us. After a long wait, 2 of the 4 plates had the steaks OVER cooked. They recooked them but one was STILL over, but let it slide. The manager sent a message offering us dessert on the house. We each ordered carrot cake to go. We drive 45 home and we're ready to try our dessert, only to find blue berry cheese cakes!! No one likes cheesecake in our home. I call the manager to complain about all our experience that evening and after paying OVER $550.00 all we got is "oh sorry, I'll talk to my staff, goodbye". NOT; "come back again, we'll make it right" . I'll NEVER GO BACK!! read more

We went here for lunch, on a Thursday with 2 other couples and was told because it was Valentines on Sunday that all they were offering was the Dinner Menu for the week. Well, we ordered the finger steaks and the pistachio crust lamb chops and split it between the two of us. There was only 2 other tables that had a couple of people each and the service was super slow BUT the waitress was very nice and the food that we had was very good. We just will not be back for lunch as we have never paid so much for lunch and split it ever. After writing this I am thinking we won't even be back for dinner considering the price we paid. read more

Anderson Reserve is a special gem tucked away in a quiet town. The atmosphere is warm, like walking into a home, that was yours but not yours. The property and restaurant and butcher feature is all family owned and run. The staff is A+ friendly and welcoming, attentive and just a group of great personalities. Then the final bonus? Being from the 808 now living in the 208, to run into their Executive Chef in the dining room AND finding out he's a Kailua boy, wow! He's full of energy and ideas and creativity. This was our first time here but definitely not our last. It's a little of a treat dining here because it's a bit pricy but you get what you pay for and it's definitely worth working hard to save up some $ to dine here. The views, the service and the food. My food coma is a compliment to everyone here. read more

Interesting experience getting there and nice location and inside was great. However, not worth the drive when you can get much better food at a place like Chandlers. If your re driving by or in the are then go ahead and try it out. Otherwise, would not go out of my way for this. read more

Anderson Reserve was recommended by a friend. We stopped by this weekend for their brunch. The drive to the location is very beautiful. Once you arrive, there is plenty of parking and easy access. Super friendly, attentive staff and great tasting food! We enjoyed live and relaxing music from a guitarist. For our main course, my wife ordered the Ribeye, which was cooked to perfection! I had the Chicken Fried Steak, unfortunately I found it to be somewhat on the chewy side. Large selection of libations, beer and wine are offered. If the weather permits, it is recommended to sit on their patio and take in the beautiful setting. During our visit, we met the Master Butcher, he spent some time with us and made us feel at home. Very hospitable! read more

I know this is going to sound a lot like Josh B's review, and he pretty much covered everything I was going to say...so I'm saving ya'll a lot of reading. We are also first timers. We had family from Alaska come visit, so they, along with the rest of our family decided we would make the drive to Sweet for a early dinner. Immediately upon seeing the "barn" and the beautiful grounds, etc. we knew we were in for a good time. Mr. Anderson greeted us at the door and the fun began! I spotted those awesome cinnamon rolls by the front door. All I could do was look and smell them...my "boss" says I don't need anymore of those. Although I did try and plot a way of getting one of them outa there. From there, Richie, along with a wonderful young apprentice, Mackenna, showed us to our table upstairs. Just a bit later, Cn'a (yes, that's the correct spelling), took over for Richie and Mackenna. She took care of us the rest of the evening with other fine people chipping in along the way. We started off with the Bone Marrow & Rocky Mountain Oysters. Loved them both. Couldn't get the women to try the "oysters" but they loved the Bone Marrow! As far as our main courses...I had the New York Oscar...gotta tell ya, I asked for it rare, and this was the first time I ever got what I ordered. It was perfect! My son ordered the Surf & Turf. Again, perfectly cooked. Can't say much for the others...everyone of them ordered the Seared Ahi ! It also was cooked to perfection. I was just hoping they each would order something different. Mainly so I could sample other choices. But, when all was said and done, each was glad they got what they did. And dessert...the Blueberry Cheesecake was fantastic. That was a popular choice along with one that had some sort of ice-cream with a caramel sauce. Also, they had a guitarist that set up right next to our table. Oh, I'm not complaining, it was fantastic. His name is, Harry Dial, and that man has an incredible voice and he can play that guitar like nobody's business. I loved singing along with him. We will definitely go back when he's slatted to play! I got to meet, Chef Paul, as we were leaving. As I was telling him how much I enjoyed my steak, he said, "you were the one who ordered it rare!" That's a great Chef! Over all; just a flat out awesome place. If you don't like the food (which is NOT going to happen), you're sure in heck going to love the Anderson family and their awesome staff! As Josh said, IT'S WORTH THE DRIVE! Ok, so much for keeping it short. I type like I talk...a lot! read more

What a waste of time and money. The Strawberry Bubble drink was like pure sugar. The Rocky Mountain Oysters were not edible, they came cold and had a ton of breading. The filet was good quality but again it was cold along with the sides. The butter was good but bread was cold. The waiter brought our app and dinner up the stairs and then took it back down, then back up 4 min later (I'm sure that contributed to our cold food). It wasn't even busy and it took an hour to get our main course. Such a let down. The seats were so uncomfortable, they dug into our legs and we had to get up a few times bc we were so uncomfortable. We will never be back. Save your time and go to chandlers. read more

The ambiance and the views are a 10/10. The staff is also very nice. The alcoholic drinks were definitely reasonable and tasted great. However, my husband's steak (he ordered medium rare) came out with almost no pink at all so we sent it back. Then when it came out the next time, it came out almost purple as if it hadn't been cooked almost at all. My husband ate about half the steak he ordered because he said it tasted awful (said it had no flavor and was not cooked enough). The waiter did not offer to comp the half eaten steak. They also charged my sister for a refill on soda so we had two charges for $2.95 but they didn't charge to upgrade a whiskey choice to an old fashioned. Odd. Overall, the drive out there is nice, the ambiance is great, but the food is not worth the price or anywhere near it. read more

I think I would enjoy eating a hockey puck more than their overcooked filet mignon. Denny's quality at the best... and even that is a huge compliment to what I got. read more

My husband and I love this place! We were perplexed by some of the negative reviews on Yelp. We have been several times, most recently for brunch and the food is delicious. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful setting and has an incredible view of the mountain range. The architecture and design is unique and feels very open with lots of natural light. The owners are very accommodating and hands on. We will be back again and continue to recommend it to friends and family. read more

This place is amazing. It was worth the drive from Eagle. My sisters were visiting from out of state and we decided to make it a special dinner to celebrate my sister's citizenship. We arrived on a lovely evening and the family that owns the place is so kind and gracious. I asked if we could sit outside because the view is stunning. It was not really open but they were gracious enough to let us sit out there. The food was delicious and the service wonderful. The young lady...I forget her name but it began with a J... was a super server. I cannot wait to go there again. It was the highlight of my sister's visit. You cannot go wrong with this place. read more

Love this place! It's a bit of a trek, but super worth it. Great food, amazing ambiance, and beautiful scenery.

Went on A Saturday night and was so noisy we couldn't hear ourselves think. Chairs are horrible and some dishes had to be sent back because they were cold. The atmosphere doesn't match the prices for sure read more

THE BEST! How can I describe the best meal I've ever had... EVER! These guys are the real deal! Moses was our waiter. He had incredible suggestions and recommendations. We even got to meet the owner and his wife. Down to earth good people, folks. read more

I'd honestly like to give a 3.5. We happily found this restaurant while on a trip up to Sage Hen Reservoir. We arrived during their Sunday brunch where they had a prix fixe menu. $35.00 per person with three courses served. The appetizers were ok. I enjoyed the seared cheese and my hubby like the strawberry bruschetta, but it in my opinion was lackluster, with the balsamic dried to the plate and the bread not even toasted. My hubby ordered the Monte Cristo waffle. He enjoyed it very much. I ordered the filet mignon with eggs. I ordered it cooked medium, it came slightly under. It was still tender and tasty. The eggs were ordered over medium and were cooked over hard. I couldn't even finish them. The potatoes were lukewarm at best on both plates. When we shared the info with a server who was clearing our dishes she said it was because it was towards the end of the brunch service. The dessert was brulee salted caramel cheesecake...it was rich, decadent and delicious. The portion sizes were adequate. A wonderful wine and beer selection. I enjoyed a great glass of Paso Merlot. For a restaurant that says it is five star dining, in my opinion it needs to work on just a few details to make it so. Not so sure it was worth the 85.00 + tip. The location was a pleasant surprise. A beautiful barn, light, open and airy. There is the option of sitting outside on a beautiful patio (too hot today) or upstairs. We were seated upstairs. The seating is a bar stool type seat. You are seated at a glass topped wine barrel. If you were there for an extended time, it wouldn't be too comfy. It would be nice to have a comfy, cozier type of seating, maybe a booth type available. The service was good. Everyone was very friendly. We said thank you as we left...no response from any employee. We might make the drive to try once more, but not sure at this time. read more

I wish I could do -5 stars. What a horrible place. Food - awful. Ordered medium-well filet mignon and got super well done piece of rubber. Lamb chops were just OK, definitely not worth the money they are charging. Now the interesting part: We returned the filet meal because it was awful. Waitress asked if they can make it up somehow, but at that point after waiting for our food for over an hour we just wanted to get out. We said nothing, but if manager wanted to do something nice for us he could take care of the wine, but we did not demand that, just a suggestion. Few min later the manager and the cook come to our table getting all defensive that we didn't like their rubber steak and handed us the check and did NOT take off the awful filet we returned to them off the bill. When I asked why are they charging us for the meal we returned manager said "there's nothing wrong with it". At that point I was done and very frustrated with the whole experience and started telling him that what he is doing is wrong. This is where the interesting part started. The manager told me to shut the F up and that he is going to knock my teeth out. Wow! What a great service. He was more worried for other people not to hear how awful their food is to the point that he was willing to threaten a customer with a violence instead of just accepting the fact that the food was not good. So basically it was "pay or get beat up". And the worst part is that even if we called cops it would be "he said she said", so I just let them rob me. I did not authorize them to charge my card, they simply did it holding me hostage under a threat. Then only good thing about this place was the waiter - very sweet and kind and worked really hard to provide great service. Anyways, if you are ok paying high price for subpar food, and like getting ripped off, threatened and kicked out for telling that your experience was not good - be my guest. Otherwise take your business somewhere else. Barbacoa will get you steak that will melt in your mouth and a service that will wow you for same money. read more

We went for dinner here with high expectations due to what we had heard from others. We were greeted by friendly staff and have nothing negative to say about the service. However, the food was very subpar. I had planned on ordering a 6 ounce fillet, but changed my mind and ordered the prime rib special instead our waitress raved about it and so I wanted to give it a try. My husband ordered the 16 ounce bone-in cowboy cut ribeye. My prime rib was not tender and had little taste. In fact, I would have to call it very chewy. Not what I expected at all from a restaurant that advertises prime cuts of meat. My husband's steak was tastier and more tender but certainly not at the standard for a $94 steak. We drove in from Nampa, which was basically about 100 mile round-trip altogether. What a big disappointment. We will not return, nor will we recommend this restaurant. read more

The Anderson reserve was a wonderful experience for my husband and I. The customer service was absolutely awesome and it made you feel like family... The barn is absolutely gorgeous. They have done a good job making it feel exclusive here. We ordered the filet mignon as well as the New York strip. The New York strip was cooked perfectly... And the filet mignon was a little undercooked... The server did ask to take a steak back but my husband decided to eat anyway. It was still good. As you can see in the photos they do three or four dots of sauce. The sauce is were absolutely incredible and I wish they would've given us more like at Barbacoa where they give you an entire little cup of the peppercorn sauce. That would've made the meal a lot better. Overall it was a good experience. Some of my critiques would be a few more options for bread maybe do fresh bread? And more sauce with the steaks... They do offer their in-house sauce at the table to try, but the sauce that comes with the actual steak on the plate that's more of what I'm talking about :-) Thank you for a great evening we will be back read more

The view alone is spectacular! Add a nice glass of wine, great food and service and that's all it takes to get me back! I will add that it's the only restaurant we've been to since covid started where staff wasn't wearing masks. It was our choice to stay but it was unusual. read more

Anderson Reserve - Steakhouses Near Me - Sweet, Idaho

June 2022-we had reservations for 8 for my in-laws 50th anniversary, unfortunately we had to cancel due to them both getting Covid. Called back couple weeks later and got a new reservation this happened to be exactly 1 month after the original. We had a wonderful server, he was attentive and recommended some wonderful cocktails. Food was only ok--I had the surf and turf, my lobster was so overcooked it was curled up. Basic overall consensus of the table unfortunately. Once we had paid our $1500 bill we went outside to take some pictures. This is when it got really bad--they owner called and yelled at my sis-in-law (she's the one that made the reservation) because we no showed on our reservation. She tried to explain that we had just paid for our meal and were still on the premises. He just kept yelling saying that she was 86'd from ever making a reservation there again, that her name and number were on the list. We thought about going in to speak with him, but he was so upset and yelling and cursing, decided it wasn't worth it. We didn't like the food enough to come back anyway. read more

Came here on Sunday night with good friends and we all had a great time. The food was sooo yummy! Steaks cooked to perfection and all apps were amazing. I tried a bite of Rocky Mountain oysters and to my amazement, they were good. Just couldn't think about it too much. The owners are very warm & welcoming. They greeted us at the front door when we arrived. Our server, Moses was very informative and took his time with us, we never felt rushed. The place & ambiance is truly beautiful . It's like a big pole barn inside and upstairs each table is spaced just right from the next for true intimate setting. There are glass tables on top of wine barrels. On the first level, the tables are giant half trees. They are long and would accommodate large parties. There is a bar and the outdoor patio is very rustic with the natural setting and old decor, like farm equipment . This would be a beautiful place for a wedding. We will definitely return again. We had Filet Mignon, Mountain Oysters, Rib eye bone in, Sturgeon, shrimp cocktails, trout appetizers, wedge salad, macaroni, & some great Japanese whisky, champagne, bloody Marys & more! Everything was awesome read more

5 stars for setting, 1 star for owner's lack of caring. I really liked this place for lunch a couple of times, then had a less-than-impressive dinner experience. Instead of posting a review, I emailed the owner privately in hopes that he would appreciate it and take it as constructive criticism to help out. I kind of expected a "hi..thanks for the feedback, appreciate it, will try to make it better next time you are here, let me know when you come up...blah blah blah" But there was no response. A week later, I followed up with "hi..just wanted to see if you got this...". Again, no response. So apparently they don't care, which was confirmed by a friend I had dinner with a few nights ago that heard something similar about the owner. So here is exactly what I wrote him. 1. We went for our 18th wedding anniversary. I noted this on the Open Table reservation form, but there was no mention of it when we arrived or got seated. Not a big deal, but someone should read the notes on the reservation system to catch things like that. 2. I ordered a martini and the waitress brought it, noting that they had run out of green olives, and asked if I wanted to have kalamata olives. Not knowing what it would taste like, I said I would try it. That was a mistake, as it made the drink taste horrible. I returned it and was able to get the money back downstairs when we left. Running out of olives is something that should never happen. 3. Ordered a side Caesar salad, and it was not good at all. A small plate with a few pieces of iceberg lettuce and a little bit of dressing. I don't think it had any croutons or shaved parmesan, but maybe a little. 4. We ordered the NY steak medium rare, and it came extremely rare. Sent it back and when it came back it was done more but pretty rubbery. I know the steak is what you pride yourselves in. 5. Ranch dressing tasted like it was out of a bottle. I don't eat it, but my wife loves to have it and can tell the difference pretty easily. Suggest you make it on site, as it makes a lot of difference. If you are down in the Eagle area, try the ranch at The Tavern at Eagle Island. It's the best in the area. That's pretty much it. We left as soon as we were done. You have such a nice building in a beautiful setting that it is worth it to drive up from Eagle, but as a high end restaurant, basic things should be better. read more

We went to the Anderson Reserve after Christmas and was greeted with a smile wasn't planning on eating there after we viewed the silos which you have to see we decided to stay and eat.

I dropped in on Anderson Reserve in Sweet, Idaho on Sunday. What an extraordinary gourmet experience. We were greeted at the door by Paul Anderson, was escorted to a patio table with a spectacular Idaho mountain vista.....and then the fun started. We kicked it off with a Ferrari Carano Chardonnay paired with some Mejool Dates, blue cheese and a Balsamic glaze. The filet mignon and egg brunch was prepared to perfection and we ended the meal with homemade Carrot Cake.

Anderson Reserve - Steakhouses Near Me - Sweet, Idaho

This is a beautiful dining destination, which also has a real butchery. Getting there is easy; it's less than one hour from Boise via beautiful drives from any direction. Enter the door and you'll see Dennis Anderson (Master Butcher and owner Paul Anderson's dad) or Phemia (Paul's mom and baker of the every-morning-fresh treats), or Samantha, cheerful and charming co-owner with husband Paul, with genuine glad-you're-here smiles.It's a bit like walking into a friend's home. At the entrance is where butchery orders are transacted, and you'll also see the day's MUST-GET giant cookies and cinnamon rolls! The small gift shop has a great selection of mostly locally made syrups, honeys, spices/rubs and sauces. Then, the restaurant, and bar. We didn't see the charming bar soon enough to enjoy it, but definitely will next time.There's a robust wine and spirits menu, as well as creative takes on familiar cocktails. As for the restaurant: they call it fine country dining, but it's more than that.The cuisine is amazing, thanks to meticulously prepared, top quality ingredients.This is a REAL butchery; Anderson Reserve specializes in prime cuts and is also clearly attentive to the sides that go with them. Everything on our plates was beautifully executed, and easily rivaled that of the fine-dining restaurants in the Boise area. For dinner, we started with the bone marrow, roasted and rich, with tasty crostini, then moved to a nice fresh caesar. We had the braised shortribs, marbled and moist throughout. Flavors were tremendous. The pan-fried gnocchi and broccolini were each perfectly done, textures just right. Temperatures of each element were spot-on, as were the portions. Check the website for their regular offerings and prices, but know that there might be more available when you're actually on-site. Service is notable! Ranging from young locals (Hi Taylor!) to more experienced talent (Richie!) to international pros (Jo-El!), everyone we encountered made us feel like they were happy to be there, and happy to see us. Consistently friendly and warm, yet efficient, each also seemed to be trained to really put the guest first. On first entering the dining area, I asked for something very different, seating-wise. Host Jo-El's first response was, "Let me see about that," And he immediately went to ask. Requested granted. Later, during our dinner, our wonderful server Taylor came rushing over, "Someone heard that you wanted to get a roll--there's only one left! Shall I save it for you?" WOW! Teamwork. And last but not least, at brunch the next day (YES, that's right. We came back for brunch), we ordered the lobster bisque. Our super server Richie told us they were running low, so he said he'd be back and excused himself to rush away to try to fulfill our soup order. He came back with a small cup of bisque. Just one, because they had indeed sold out, but he managed to get a little for us to try. Gratis. Sunday brunch is a prix fixe three course affair, with several selections for each course. This is a much more interesting brunch than the standard, with starting dishes (when we were there, everything from a salad of fresh greens with strawberry, goat cheese, quinoa, beet and red onion to yogurt parfaits to shrimp cocktail) in perfect small-plate sizes to go with the robust main courses.The soups are amazing. We really hope they keep the lobster bisque, easily the best we have had in the area; not only full of meat, but you could taste the ingredient quality. The clam chowder was likewise superb. We can also recommend the grilled sirloin-and-eggs; steak was prepared just as we requested, and its flavor and texture were fantastic. I also particularly liked the potatoes, because the cubes were lightly fried (?) to a nice "chew." We ordered our eggs cooked differently, and they were just right. There's a lovely spacious and shaded patio that easily seats 50 amongst the various tables. The atmosphere is casual but also refined, in a friendly way. We saw everything from shorts and suspenders (not on the same guy), to dressy-dresses. RVers: Anderson Reserve allows self-contained RVers to stay overnight! The RV area is fantastic: several friendly acres of mowed grass, level, and with plenty of room to maneuver any sized rig, and large enough for privacy and space. Call ahead to a spot at least one day in advance. You'll be within 600 steps of the restaurant. If you can, plan to arrive for dinner, and have brunch/lunch before you head out! read more

Discovered Anderson's while exploring the area. Shocked to find such a highly regarded steak house so far off the beaten path. Read their story and decided to take our adult son there for his birthday; he's a steak lover. Beautiful scenery and atmosphere, but we won't be going back. Food didn't arrive for over an hour after we placed the order (this was early afternoon and the place was not full), the steaks were all ordered medium rare; one came out medium and the other two well done. We had all skipped breakfast in anticipation of an extraordinary meal, and after waiting more than an hour, we were too hungry to send them back. Byes, our polite waiter apologized and offered us free deserts. We came for the steak, which was chewy and over cooked, and over priced. Sorry, but at those prices you don't get a second chance from us. We have much better local. read more

My mother in law & I brought my husband here for his birthday. It was so much fun & the staff was so friendly. The vibe was spot on & location beautiful. We enjoyed our meals & our drinks. We plan to come here again in the future. read more

What a bummer - went for what we believed would be a "upper" scale brunch and instead ended up with a meal and service that assured us that we would not be back nor recommend it to others. The overall experience began with the woman who seated us, who couldn't have been less enthusiastic than if her car was just repossessed. There was also a dude at the entry that appeared as if he had some sort of ownership but was just weird as hell and very annoying. After we were seated, the service was pleasant but was unbelievably slow even if it was for a leisurely paced brunch. My dish included eggs that a portion of the whites were literally clear and uncooked and had to be sent back if nothing else for safety reasons. (NOTE: no lie, I have returned food less than 5 times in my entire life). The Monte Cristo sandwich was NOT as the menu suggested and was more or less a fried (burned) ham and cheese sandwich. Breakfast is pretty hard to screw up but they definitely nailed it - a real disappointment . read more

The drive out to the restaurant was fun and the scenery around the restaurant is beautiful. Would be a fun place for a special occasion but the food was pretty mediocre considering the prices. Ordered a medium rare steak and prime rib and both were overcooked and pretty tough. It felt like, even if they were cooked right, they were kind of bland cuts of meat. The sides were good, and the halloumi appetizer was great. Service was great. Probably won't be back, after looking at the yelp reviews it seems like overcooked steak is a common problem. read more

Moses was our server and he was on point. With 4 of us dining, he suggested the tomahawk steak and a couple apps.Delicious!!

Had an okay dinner tonight at Anderson Reserve. First and foremost, the staff was amazing. Hostess, bartenders, server...all 5. Very friendly and professional. Cocktails were very good. Tables and chairs are at a very awkward height. Either raise the tables or lower the chairs. Food was cooked properly, medium & medium rare, and though mine was @ room temp my husband's was barely there. Our server offered to have it warmed up but my husband was too hungry to wait. For the $$$, it should come out at a proper temp. read more

Not worth the drive or the price! Although the drive out there is beautiful, there are MUCH better steaks in Emmett, Boise, Eagle, or wherever you live. We ordered the T-bone Thursday night special and we expected a big thick juicy steak. Instead we got a small, very thin and overcooked steak. The owners and waitstaff were nice but the service was slow and not very attentive to refilling drinks, bringing out extra silverware or plates, etc. We brought 2 bottles of our own wine and they charge a $25 per bottle corking fee which is ridiculous. Our expectations were high based on the menu, prices, facilities, and the advertising on their own website, but what a disappointment. read more

My family was super excited to visit Anderson for the first time recently. We first noticed this place about a year ago when we picked our new puppy up from a breeder in the area. So called ahead and asked to set up a couple of their butcher packages to take home after our much anticipated dinner. Would have been hundreds of dollars when all said and done so was surprised with the response we were met with. Made a reservation and somehow was linked to open table because their website would not make a reservation. Have made hundreds of reservations on open table with no issues there but something went wrong. We arrived after driving almost an hour in a cold rainy day from Eagle. Staff was ignoring us upon entrance and questioned our reservation in a condescending way. At last one of the staff said they didn't have us for a reservation. We showed them the open table that somehow forwarded us to the next Friday and they basically said they couldn't help us, no boxes and sorry see you Friday. We stated we had driven far and followed them for over a year but this fell on deaf ears. We cancelled, and will not only ever come back but will make sure to let all of out friends, family and clients know exactly how these people work. For a place that prides themselves on quality and service they have surely failed and I can't imagine that's it's only a matter of time until their business fails accordingly. read more
