    Lamb Ragu
    Anthony L.

    TEN! Where are more stars?! The Avery has come out swinging in the ever expanding downtown Boise restaurant scene. The restaurant takes up 3/4 of the ground level of the hotel (last 1/4 is Tiner's Alley bar, also great!) . The inside is very tasteful design, not overly done, just the right amount of gorgeous Parisian style, feeling like you are in a place far away from Boise. We started by enjoying some Vancouver BC west coast oysters, our favorites! Since Little Pearly Oyster Bar closed we were left wondering where would be a good alternative, come to find out Avery has us covered. One special on this night was truffle gnocchi which my wife ordered and thoroughly enjoyed. I almost went for another special that sounded amazing, but got sucked in by the Lamb Ragu which was just out of this world! Finished with creme brûlée and chocolate cake.

    This is a review for the restaurant. So good! My brother-in-law and his wife took us there for brunch this morning during our visit. With many good choices on the menu, I settled on a starter order of Scotch egg and a side of breakfast sausages for brunch at the last minute. The alternative I considered was grits with a sunny side up egg and cheddar. The egg was perfect 8-minute egg with a slight soft-core yolk coated with layer of deep-fried meaty goodness. It was a generously sized egg placed on a small bed of green salad and bacon pieces so I wouldn't have needed the sausages in retrospect as the side came with 4 fat juicy pieces. The service was very attentive and friendly and the decor was inviting and cozy. It was a yummy start to the weekend.

    Pistachio Soufflé, served crème anglais. It's worth the 20 minute wait.

    The Avery is a hotel, restaurant and bar. This review is for Avery Brasserie, where my wife and I had dinner with another couple on Saturday. Parking in downtown Boise can be a challenge, especially with all of the road construction. We ended up parking at the ParkBOI 2-1/2 blocks away. The restaurant is a brasserie, so it's set up like a French cafe. The space is absolutely beautiful, although the tables are quite small and quite close together. We briefly considered moving to a table in the Bar, which is located in the back room, past the restrooms and the kitchen, but there was a lot more light in the Brasserie and it felt slightly warmer. Although we were seated between two occupied tables, both tables left before our food arrived, so we enjoyed a little bit of space from other diners. Kim, our server, was excellent. She knows the menu and is very efficient. First, we had cocktails. I was told that the espresso cocktail was good, there was a nice rosé cremant (aka a French champagne produced outside of the designated Champagne region) available by the glass and the bar had Lagavulin. I had The Manitou (Montenegro, Buffalo Trace, Egg White, Lemon, Simple, Bordeaux Cherry). It was served in a small rocks glass neat, just like the Lagavulin, and is quite tasty, if a tad bit sweet. I ended up switching to the rosé cremant for my second drink. For an appetizer, we had a couple of orders of Crispy Baby Artichokes (white beans, shaved parmesan, baby arugula, artichoke vinaigrette). They're excellent. For our entrees, two of us had the Duo of Beef special, which paired a braised short rib with 42-day dry aged ribeye eye cooked medium rare and mashed potatoes. It was excellent. One of our party had the Halibut special. But in my opinion, the standout dish was my wife's Cassoulet (lamb, duck, house made sausage, pork belly, grilled baguette) from the regular dinner menu. Every component of the dish was very tasty (yes, she lets me sample her food), although more white beans would have been appreciated. For dessert, we ordered a couple of Pistachio Soufflés, which were served with tiny pitchers of crème anglais. What's not to like? I'd definitely head back to Avery Brasserie during my next visit to Boise. I'm already looking forward to it.

    My fiancé and I stayed at the Avery Hotel over Valentines Day weekend 2025. The experience from check in to check out was exquisite. Every member of the staff, valet, and housekeeping were exceptionally friendly. This stay was extra special because I wanted to propose after dinner one night. I reached out to the hotel and they were excited to be a part of our special evening, willing to decorate our room secretly while my girlfriend and I were eating dinner on the main floor (the restaurant is incredible)! Smiles, greetings, and clean rooms made our stay top-tier. The hotel itself is BEAUTIFUL and sits in a prime location that's walking distance to the hub of Boise - 8th street. The second floor of the hotel has a library with old books about Boise loaned to the hotel. This hotel will have a special place in our hearts and we will be back, if not for anything else but the lovely staff which accompany the splendid building. Special shout out to Brighton who really made the entire experience! Thank you, Avery Hotel!

    The restaurant and bar are amazing. Food, drinks, service and atmosphere are all incredible. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. Conveniently located in downtown Boise. Within walking distance to whatever you are looking for. Food, shopping, bars. Pool hall, movie theater, etc. Etc. When we arrived, Leigh checked me in. She was great. She answered all of my many questions and went above and beyond what she needed to.

    Great food & drinks. Had the fried artichokes appetizer, delicious. The special Halibut was delicious too but the potatoes it said it came with were like a tablespoon to hold the fish on plate. The short Rib was good alsobut more like a chunk of pot roast. Sole was good, but I thought it was a bit fishy (but my friend didn't). Only negative was the tables were VERY close together and NO privacy. It almost felt like your neighbors table was part of our party. I would go back again when wanting to spend a bit more for my dining. It was a bit pricier along the lines of fine dining in a loud and crowded room. Service was superb!

    We had such high hopes for The Avery, that my wife made reservations for my birthday dinner. Let's talk about the good before we get into the bad. We received a friendly greeting and were seated quickly. The decor and style of the restaurant was top.notch. Lots of nice details and a great aesthetic. Restrooms were very nice as well. Our server Bob was attentive and pleasant. This is where the good mostly ends. My wife ordered a Dos Hombres Espresso Martini, which is one of her favorite Press and Pony drinks. She said it tasted like it was made with trash coffee and was definitely not a fan. This could be because it's not listed on their normal cocktail list. Who knows. We started with the ceviche. Honestly it was pretty good overall with a nice variety of perfectly cooked seafood and a mild citrus flavor profile. It could just be me but I prefer having at least some onion flavor in ceviche, and it was non-existent in this dish. I was still hopeful at this point, but those hopes were soon crushed I ordered the steak fries and my wife ordered the roasted chicken. Presentation of the chicken was good... The steak, not so much. It looked like a turd on the plate. I ordered the steak medium rare and half of it was well done, the other half was medium well at best. The steak and gravy were also cold when they arrived, which was strange because it came out multiple minutes after my wife's meal. Beyond all that, the steak was extremely tough and had little to no seasoning or flavor. One of the worst steaks I've ever had, and considering we're in Idaho, the land of great beef, this was a major let down. There's really no excuse for this here. My fries were also cold upon arrival. The roasted chicken was okay. The gravy was tasty and the chicken wasn't dry but that's where the compliments end. The potatoes had little to no seasoning and were void of texture. The macaroni au Gratin was pretty decent but was essentially overpriced fancied up mac and cheese. Like I said, we had high hopes for this place due to the chef's reputation but it didn't come anywhere close to the hype or our expectations. Every restaurant deserves a shot, but this one won't be a spot we return to.

    Manitou cocktail- incredible
    Christine C.

    This place is so well designed. So many beautiful details. We were there on opening night- our initial cocktails were quite delayed, but our server Douglas was very communicative about the issue. They even comped our first round- not necessary but much appreciated! The Manitou cocktail was amazing and the Old Fashioned was probably the best I've had in town. Hanger steak and roasted chicken were yummy- and decent sized portions. The ravioli was fairly small but insanely delicious. We will be back- great job to the staff on the first night open!

    They did SUCH a great job with this remodel! The Avery restaurant looks like a classy brasserie I have eaten at in Paris. There is such an attention to detail and a care to not only renovate the over a century old space, but also restore and carefully recreate some of the charm of yesteryear. They had a Brunswick bar shipped over from New York, that was only a year older than the original gorgeous bar that graced the wall of the Bouquet for decades, to have it's place in The Avery. The original bar from the Bouquet was moved to the English pub in the back of the space called Tiner's Alley. They managed to produce an entirely different vibe back there and an entirely different menu. My father is a musician and had played at The Bouquet years ago. We are all native Boiseans. He, as well as my sister and I, were interested in what they had done to the place. We were all looking around at everything! Our server came and told us the specials and filled our water glasses (my ONLY complaint is no ice in the water...I'm a big ice person. :D ) She never rushed us and answered all our questions. Very friendly and cheerful! We started with a few drinks and then decided that we wanted to try a few starters. We had the petit salad (field greens with a very light vinaigrette), the watermelon and heirloom tomato salad (I don't usually like fruits and veg together - yes, I know tomato is technically a fruit - don't @ me!), and this rabbit and duck dish (something like a pate) with artisan bread. Everything was SO good! For dinner, my dad had the sole, I had the chicken, and my sister had the ravioli. My dad and sister finished theirs and loved it. I, too, loved the chicken, but had to take about half of it home because I was so full from the starters!! I didn't get pictures of dessert because I was so fully invested in the evening that I completely forgot! We had the sorbet trio which came on a homemade shortbread cookie, the panna cotta, and the pistachio souffle. All of it was incredible! And everything was freshly made. We then went in the back to Tiner's Alley and had a night cap there. The bartenders were so friendly and personable. The drinks were great and crafted with care. This is a great place to take someone for a special night out, or just come in and hang out in Tiner's Alley for a few drinks and some fish & chips. Such a great evening!

    Absolutely... UNREAL! From the second you walk in you can feel the charm in this historic building! We came here last minute for food and drinks. Sat at the bar and had phenomenal service from Jacob. The drinks were outstanding! For appetizers we had the artichokes & the scallop crudo. Incredible presentation- and even better flavor. I would've been satisfied with just the drinks & apps. But we ordered the rabbit & the sole (fish) which blew our minds. All of the unique flavors so perfectly paired- incredible. This is hands down the best food/drinks in Boise. SO worth the price and experience! The friendly staff, amazing service- INCREDIBLE food and drinks... is unlike anything Boise has seen. We were lucky enough to tour the hotel... what a gem. You can see how much work they have put into this place if you're from the area. They have kept the historic feel & touches- but updated it enough to have a modern feel. This place is outstanding! We will be regulars here! I can't say enough great things about the food, experience, staff, hotel, etc. We are blown away by this place & the ownership- and so so special to have this historic building revamped into something unimaginable! Way to go!!!!

    Is there a dress code?

    I'm assuming that like most places, there's a "no shoes, no shirt, no service." Other than that, I don't know of anywhere in Boise that has a dress code to eat out. It's come as you are!

The amenities!! I can't leave that out!! Full size refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, coffee maker with coffee, bean coffee, was what I enjoyed every single morning. Plenty of counter space!
