Nice atmosphere and ambience, friendly polite staff. My wife and i both ordered the French Onion Soup. The Soup had to be sent back because It wasn't hot when it was brought to our table. The second round was hot and very good. read more

We were treated like family the minute we walked in the door. Everyone in the restaurant was having a great time and you could tell they enjoyed the food. It was quaint and comfortable inside the restaurant. The chef helped us select our wine pairing with our meal and it was fantastic. I recommend! read more

What a beautiful night! Visiting friends in Eagle, they took us to Bacquet's for a memorable dinner. Knowing how much we loved visiting Paris, they knew that we'd love this restaurant and were they right! We started with the fabulous flatbread with cheese, bacon and onions that tasted just like we remembered having in Alsace. We followed with their house salads, which were delicious. The guys had the Pork (Tenderloin) Parisian with the girls being very lucky to have nabbed a taste. It was delicious. One of us gals had the Beef with the green peppercorn sauce - which was tremendous, and this gal had the best scallops of her life - Coquilles Saint Jacques! We also enjoyed a delicious red Burgundy and feasted on shared Apple Tarte and the Croissant Bread Pudding with a touch of chocolate at the bottom. UNBELIEVABLE!!! This will definitely be our "can't miss" place when returning to Eagle and already are looking forward to returning soon. read more

Food, service and ambiance were great. My only issue is when I went to this restaurant my previous time I felt the chefs wife could have been more professional. read more

We dined here on Saturday evening and had a fantastic experience! My husband and I had the vegan version of Gary's Vegetables and it was delectable. So much flavor! Our three guests all had the Veal Piccata and had rave reviews. We were celebrating my grandmother's 80th birthday and she said it was the best Veal Piccata she's ever had! The wine and desserts also received incredibly high praise. Ben was our server and took excellent care of us - he helped make the evening even more special. Thank you for creating such an incredible establishment and for helping us to give our grandmother a fantastic experience. We will be back! read more

My wife asked for a small change to a repaid event for a picky eater in our group, several days ahead. The owners not only denied the request but also offered not refund for our four tickets, and indicate they'd be selling our spots again for full price. Since then many stories about them being rude, fights with customers, this is not the restaurant experience we need in this area. read more

It has been a long time since we ate here and we were looking forward to it very much. The chef Frank and the entire staff did not disappoint. We great service and excellent food. I had the escargot and the special Pheasant. Both were perfectly cooked to perfection. The rest of our part had the duck confit flatbread and the charcuterie platter (I forget the name on the menu) as main they had pork in marsala, seafood pasta. I got to taste all of them they were all delicious. A perfect evening with friends and great food. We'll be back for sure. read more

Great food. A bit pricey, but worth the cost for high-quality food. The staff is exceptionally nice. A great dining experience.

Wonderful Food and ambience!! Fantastic wine selection. Love the quiche offered on their lunch menu. read more

Tried this place on the advice of a francophile friend. Had my doubts as to whether or not this was the real McCoy, as I am French and very familiar with that cuisine, and lo and behold, it is the real deal. Friendly and fast service, warm welcome and very good food. Wine list is not really available as you can just walk to the cellar and enjoy all the offerings. We started by the coquilles St Jacques (bay scallops). Well, this was my choice as hubby was not interested in a 1st course. He promptly changed his mind after tasting the delish garlic/butter/cheese toppings. He also got over the guilt of eating half my order in a jiffy... Upon the recommendation of our waitress we spilt the seafood pasta, pictured below. Very tasty! Chocolate mousse is more of a milk chocolate mousse and not quite as intensely chocolatey as what I prefer, but it was good. Topped this with a nice sauvignon blanc from France. Chef/owner came out and we chatted a bit, nice guy. Will return for sure. read more

Bacquet's Restaurant - French Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

Wow!! This beautiful, quaint restaurant has the most delicious food. I was visiting my son and we both came here for lunch. I Love french onion soup and so many restaurants do not have it on their menu. So I was excited to try it. It was the most incredible French soup I have ever had!! My son's chicken dish was so moist and savory. The chef / owner Franck came over to our table to talk. Such a genuine nice person and amazing chef. The staff was friendly and courteous. I have been to many upscale restaurants and this place is now at the top of my list. I am looking forward to returning the next time I am in the area. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!! read more

We visited Bacquet's Restaurant for a dinner on Friday. Made reservations one week prior. Nice atmosphere, good service, free soda water on tap. We had the house salad ($8.50) which was rather small but the dressing was good. As a main course I had the Wild King Salmon Champenoise ($30) - the salmon was cooked well, the sauce was delicious, the rice with veggies was rather bland and the veggies were a bit over cooked. My husband liked his dish (pork, prawns, rice, $30). For dessert we had the apple tart with ice cream ($12) which was good and the flourless chocolate cake ($8) which was excellent (not too sweet and perfect texture). I also ordered coffee which was never delivered. Good selection of wines. read more

My husband and I took our parents here for their wedding anniversary, and was met with amazing staff, delicious food, and a photo with the chef! The restaurant ambiance feels like a French courtyard with unique pieces. We will definitely visit again. read more

Cost to Taste value isn't there. Pretty spendy place and the food is not to par with where it should be.

Well, I was a bit suspect walking into this dining experience because the reviews were quite variable. Nice ambiance with a French focus. Very cool. Service was quite pleasant. Awesome menu with many unique options. Great escargot and French onion soup. I had the lamb tenderloin. Phenomenal sauce and great lamb. Awesome. My wife had the Gorgonzola pork tenderloin, she loved it as well. Food was superb. Odd scenario after dinner, they accidentally tossed our leftovers. The server came and told us the situation. Gave us the option of not charging corkage or remaking the meal so we had leftovers. They ended up remaking the meal and not charging corkage. I was truly impressed with this service. I look forward to going back and enjoying the amazing food. read more

5/15/21 Update. Started w Salmon Salad. Huge is dwarfed by the gargantuan size. AND Franck's consistently perfect Salmon really shines in this starter. My partner had the Salmon entree (again, consistently perfect). I had the final serving of Halibut cheeks. Superbly sautéed with textured balanced herbs. Paired w Michelle's recommendation for an outstanding Sancerre. Support your local artists. All masterpieces edible! Boise's Best. My vote for GOAT! Franck Bacquet read more

Visited on my birthday 14 July and was very impressed. My son and daughter-in-law took me out and I requested Bacquets. I have always wanted to visit this restaurant but had not been yet. We went early because the older I get, the earlier I want to eat. I started out with the French onion soup and as advertised it was the best I had ever eaten. I even begrudgingly, shared a bite or two with my son and daughter-in-law. They were equally impressed and the presentation was a picture perfect. I then ordered the Veal Marsala and was blown away by the size and presentation. The wine sauce was just perfect and veal was so tender you could cut it with a fork. My son had beef stroganoff equally as impressive and delicious. Both of those meals came with homemade delicious pasta noodles. My daughter-in-law I have the salmon and she said it was fantastic. Our server was very attentive and had great recommendations. She was always present when we needed her and not when we didn't. The ambience was very quaint like a small Parisian café. Chef even came over to ask how we liked the meal. To top it off for dessert we had the cheesecake and crème brûlée. They were presented exquisitely and the texture and taste were delectable. I look forward to going back on Thursday for the prime rib and piano bar. Do not hesitate to go to this magnificent French restaurant. As good as Paris, France, that is much closer to visit! read more

Bacquet's Restaurant - Bacquets with Jeremy and Becky Frix for Kathryn's birthday. - French Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

This chef is from Alsace and man can he cook! Beautiful atmosphere, outstanding service, varied menu. Such a treat to eat here!

*UPDATE* No, Michelle, you yelled across the restaurant, just as I stated. You were at the back of the restaurant and we were at a front window table. She's SEVENTY SEVEN, she forgot. What does it hurt you to be kind? What is your problem with old ladies? Well, the French are at it again. Food so good you want to lick the plate, and so rude you want to slap 'em. Lunch with my mother. Waiter was very nice. Mom stepped away from the table to go to the restroom, and got yelled at across the restaurant, "Ma'am, do you have a mask?" (of course she did, we needed them to enter), "You need to put it on." That woman could've been heard outside. There was a much better way to handle. Not sure if I'll return. read more

Happy Mother's Day to me! I was given a $200 gift card to use and was told to check this place out and were from Phoenix and big time foodies. Super excited I called to express that I have a gift card and would like to place an order before I even finished my question the man that answered the phone told me to call back later and I repeated that I was going to place an order and I was told NO they are too busy and can't do that and I called in the middle of Mother's Day, my point exactly, I called them before 4 PM which I had plenty of time to wait for my order if they needed time? I was of zero priority. I have quickly changed my mind and not interested in this establishment. Sad, because I was really looking forward to it and heard good things. I honestly probably wouldn't have minded so much if the person on the phone wasn't so overly rude about the situation. if you can't handle the flow, maybe you should work at a slower pace restaurant. read more

I am copying this review from Google: buyers should beware here Service: worst we ever had. It began badly with us waiting at our table for 20 minutes before anyone even approached us to see if we were ready to order. At the end of the meal, It took 20 min see the waitress, we were with water and drinks while we waited patiently after finishing our meal. When she did show up , it took another 30 to get our check when we said we had a movie to catch. We only got it after asking a second time 30 minutes later. The waitress actually said, oh that's right you need your check. This is after waiting 30 minutes! Drinks were always empty, wonderful selection of potatoes, but they could've used a little more butter and there was no one to ask because there was -- no service! Food was wonderful : cheese platter was a great variety. French Onion soup was the best I ever had. The salad had one choice of dressing and was awesome. Salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious. Ribeye was good for my husband. There are so many good things about this little restaurant... But it was not worth the complete lack of service. It was especially frustrating for my husband who saw other tables around us getting service, while he had nothing to drink. My husband will not go back because of the absolutely horrible service unless The manager contacts us as we were told she would. We paid $150 and were ignored continually. This is not what fine dining is about. When we talk to the manager, he could do nothing but take our name and phone number. I'm sure he did not know that I'm an international blogger with thousands of hits on my site every week, nor did I threaten him with this information. I guess we will see if reviews on the site About bad service and hostile management are deserving. I will place an edit if I ever do hear from that manager. If I do not, I will consider putting this on my main blog. UPDATE ------------------ Looks like the 1 stars here are deserved. I thought my review was very balanced - what I liked & didn't like. As I said, other tables saw their waitstaff 5 times more than we did... sometimes people mistake Christians for pushovers. Had she apologized for the bad service I would have upgraded to 3 star and she would have prospered. Unfortunately I received a private message from Michelle: Next time, try practicing the kindness you preach. It's people like you, Lynn, that give Christians a "bad rap". You've been permanently 86'd from Bacquet's. Shame on you. My God let her reap what she has sown. I was not boasting -- my blog averages 2-4000 each week. I was hoping she would realize she had a great chance to clear her name. You can see many other one star reviews for this type of behavior along with the owners horrible attacking responses. read more

We're visiting from California celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and were looking for a date night restaurant. Bacquet's was fantastic!!! I would say one of the best meals we've had in our lives! Don't tell our moms! I almost cried because the food was so good. I can't wait to visit again just for this restaurant! read more

We discovered this gem last summer and since we're not comfortable going to restaurants these days we ordered takeout. My husband and I both decided on the pork gorgonzola- it was delicious, and enough for leftovers (we still ate it all at once because we just could not stop!). The food came with salad (the vinaigrette was excellent) and a dessert. Dessert was a layered super fluffy cake with chocolate and vanilla mousse. Yummy! Our little ones gobbled down their Quiches and we could tell they enjoyed their food as much as we did. I was lucky to grab a tiny bite of the quiche and it was just perfection. Long story short- if you're looking for excellent food, this is the place! read more

SO proud that this restaurant enforces the mask mandate!!!! Too bad it takes such bravery and to be punched just asking a patron to wear a mask. But we will frequent this restaurant for it's amazing food by a great chef AND because they went out of their way to protect patrons during a dining in experience!!!! 10 stars!!!! read more

The food was very delicious with a authentic taste and atmosphere. Our server Ivana was very spectacular and attentive to our table and was very knowledgeable on the food and recommendations. read more

Try the quiche and you won't be sorry. Best we've ever had. They have a great wine selection and a wonderful patio.

My partner and I were excited to try this restaurant after seeing the positive reviews but had a very different dining experience than what others have shared. Our waitress was cold and unwelcoming. She spent the minimum amount of time at our table. And when she did come by she appeared impatient and inconvenienced. Did I mention we went here for my birthday? Don't expect a free dessert by the way if you come here on yours The escargot was good. We got a meat and cheese board that looked thoughtlessly thrown together and the waitress took no time to explain what was on it when she brought it out. There was for example a suspicious grey blob that I would've liked to know more about. Was it cheese? Was it meat? I'm not sure but it tasted like an unlaundered sock Our main entree came out after over an hour of waiting. I got the Kobe beef steak with prawns, the most expensive item on the menu. The prawns were ok but the meat was tough and slightly burnt on the outside. My partner had salmon that was so over seasoned that he had to scrape it off to eat it We will not be going back Re to owner: For other special occasions, I have gone to Petite 4 (a fabulous French restaurant that I was hoping yours would hold a candle to) and Chandlers and have received special desserts. I'm not sure that Applebees does give a free dessert on your birthday, your restaurant may be more comparable to them. I hope that you will you have the "courage" to ask your servers to treat guests more favorably. As a diner at a fine dining establishment that's not my responsibility that's yours. read more

Amazing food, service, and ambiance. A hidden gem, no need to go all the way downtown for a good meal. Best food in the treasure valley!

Food was amazing and service was exceptional! The ambiance was perfect. My husband loved the French dip sandwich and I had the chicken Piccata. Both were flavorful and the portions were great. We also had the ocean flat bread which was delicious and the escargot is a must try, full of flavor. read more

When ever in Boise, Bacquet's restaurant is an absolute must. My wife and I believe it's the very best of Boise. After living in and traveling Europe for nearly 28 years (my wife is Italian), Bacquet's captures and brings to Eagle and the greater Boise area, excellent French cuisine. It's a wonderful choice for a special evening event, or, for just dropping in for a casual lunch. We've become somewhat irregular regulars and have enjoyed our meals immensely every time we've dined there. It's never disappointed. This evening I enjoyed the Seafood Pasta, my wife chose the Salmon topped with crab, both were superb, and beyond our expectations. Chef Franck ( Bacquet) and his lovely wife are wonderful hosts, moreover, a Chef who's cooked for Steffi Graf and others luminaries in Europe is absolutely good enough for our family. Kimberly our server, also provided exceptional and friendly service. Thank you all so much, JW Bost A wonderful dining experience again, as always. We highly recommend Bacquet's, it's a treasure! read more

Absolutely outstanding meal... service was great the owners are fantastic! Can hardly wait to go back! Dave B. read more

Everything here is made from scratch. We went on a Tuesday night when they have live music. The ambiance is very good although acoustics can make it slightly loud if there is a large party or the musicians are playing. Bacquet's restaurant, being French, supports their cuisine with a large selection of French wines from various appellations, particularly Burgundy or Bordeaux in both white and red. They have a wine bar where you can taste wines to narrow your selection by the glass or bottle. There is a tremendous amount of attention to detail in food handling, preparation, and cooking. We started off with appetizers of Lobster Bisque (a special) and Coquilles au Gratin (scallops). The scallops were outstanding and notably were not salty, which I find is a common mistake in most restaurants. The owners, who I spoke with take great care to minimize salt levels. The lobster bisque was a style that we had never tasted before. It had no cream, and came with intricately seasoned croutons. The bisque was a brown broth that had been seeped from the lobster body/shell for two days in a hot pot and was fortified with Sherry. However the lobster was added in chunks instead of being pureed. We did not particularly care for the overall taste and texture, which is unfortunate because the owner explained how lengthy the process was to create it. But I was glad to have experienced such a special dish. The warm french bread was soft on the inside with a hard crust outside and was delicious! I ordered the Sea Bass special which had a superb cream sauce with capers. It had some lemon in it but was done perfectly such that the ingredient complemented the sauce instead of overwhelming it. Again, the dish was not oversalted. The sea bass was never frozen and the quality was evident. The vegetables were steamed green beans and whole baby carrots that were soft and delicious, as well as a side of saffron rice. My wife had the Prawn Aglio e Olio, large tiger shrimp in a light oil sauce with wide, thin, pasta noodles and chili flakes. It was spicy and delicious and I would put it up against the best northern Italian restaurants. Portions were ample and the Prawn Aglio was a large serving. Pricing can get expensive for entrees here but ours were $39.50 and $32.50 respectively which I thought was good value for the quality received. I ordered a Burgundy Chardonnay which paired very well with my creamy Sea Bass, although it was not as buttery as some. My wife had a fine French Chenin Blanc which had a little sweetness and paired perfectly with the spicy Prawn Aglio. I really enjoyed the owners, who obviously took great pride in their work but come across as sincere, humble and pleasant hosts. This is a great venue for special occasions and they will cater events as well. I recommend that you try this one as it is unique in the Treasure Valley. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant that my husband come back to time and time again. The French ambiance is romantic and intimate. They have a wine selection you won't find anywhere else to pair with cuisine that is prepared to perfection. While they have much more sophisticated French dishes, my staple favorite is Croque Monsieur with a green salad, my husband loves their escargot, and the La Puissie Sancerre Blanc from the upper Loire Valley was a nice compliment. Our server was superb and the husband and wife proprietors are hands on in every aspect to ensure the highest quality experience is had. read more

Food is incredible! Top notch service and the owner's / chefs interact with their customers to make for a wonderful dining experience.

As good as it gets. Last visit I had chicken piccata that would melt in your mouth. Some days just a bowl of their french onion soup will make you feel better. read more

Enjoyed an amazing dining experience last night at Bacquet's. The French Onion soup is incredibly flavorful. I agree it's the best I've ever had. I don't have the words for the sauce that accompanied the prawns and kobe beef----delicious, fantastic, amazing, exquisite may come close. The ambiance is the perfect mix of rich and casual. I would be comfortable dressed up or in jeans/shorts like we were after a day of sightseeing. Our little dog was welcomed with his own water, meal and sitting area. The owners and wait staff were very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to visiting again soon to try the recommended seafood pasta and rack of lamb. read more
