Best food ever and wonderful service. Cute little building with a pretty patio to have dinner. My favorite is the Idaho trout. Definitely a wonderful little restruant that you do not want to miss if visiting the Sun Valley area. On Main St. in Hailey Idaho. read more

Another great meal at CK,s! The food, drinks and staff are excellent! The menu always offers some great local farm to table options. Highly recommend! read more

Best restaurant in Hailey. Great spot to celebrate any occasion or a fun date night. I wish the Washington clams were available when I visited, but they sold out the night before. Try the wagyu steak tips. read more

food was good, but service slow and abrupt- had a small gift card to use towards large bill and apparently without notifying you in advance if you use a gift card there is a mandatory 25% tip tacked on regardless of level of service. read more

Consistent First Class Experience from Appetizers to Desserts. One of our favorites for any type of celebration.

Simply put, one of the best menus and meals that I have ever had. Wish I could have ordered more. Staff and atmosphere were both warm as well. read more

My wife & I went to Sun Valley for the weekend to celebrate our 21st anniversary, with CK's as our most indulgent meal. It was wonderful. The service was very good, but the meal even better. My wife Loved her beet salad and Rack of Lamb entree, while I thoroughly enjoyed my shrimp (huge) cocktail & Fresh fish of the day: Halibut (always a fave). All in all a terrific meal in a romantic venue - it did not disappoint. Thank you CK's for a lovely meal & evening. read more

Rob the manager is quite rude. I made a reservation on THEIR website and he called me right before saying there was no table for us. We had already been driving for 20 min. Then he said it was our fault and we should have called him instead of making a reservation on their website. If you enjoy fine dinning, I highly recommend Cookbook, Vintage and maybe Knob Hill in the area, they are at least as good as CK food wise, but you would be treated much better and they provide excellent service as well. When you intend to spend lots of money on a nice dinner, service and how you are treated matters. read more

We had been at a wedding, and left before the cake cutting, so we were craving dessert. We've never gone out for "just dessert" before. We sat in the bar and ordered 2 cocktails, a lime pie and chocolate cake. Can I just say that their dessert game is on another level? So delicious! The cocktails were also meticulously prepared and presented by the super nice and skilled bartender. Thanks for being so awesome CK's! read more

The food was really good. I had the lamb shank, a salad and a scoop of ice cream. The hot fudge on the ice cream wasn't hot and they forgot the taffy crumbles that was stated on the menu but oh well. I wanted to commend the hostess that night that is a server as well. Her name was Katie. She definitely saved the other lovely server who seemed to need ALOT of help. Katie is a multi tasker and I REALLY hope the owners know this. She saved the restaurant a lot of unhappy clients. The food was sitting at the chef's kitchen for way too long. Thankfully for them the plates are hot. Anyway, kudos to you Katie. I hope you are treated well. read more

Food was okay but took almost 2 hours to get our food. Server forgot 1/2 of the things we requested.... Wouldn't eat there again

Seriously overpriced and the entrees don't come with sides. Don't order the broccoli pancakes. Great atmosphere and wait staff, but don't think we will be going back, as we were disappointed with the food. read more

Heard that this place was the Shiznit. I can most assuredly say that it isn't. I ordered the rib eye. It was thinner than I would like and way over cooked. I like medium rare. This was almost well done. They also forgot part of my order. Otherwise the service was good. read more

One of the best restaurants in the valley! Excellent menu and service and lovely atmosphere. The food is locally sourced and of the highest quality and the bartender makes great cocktails. If you are in Ketchum and visiting town, I recommend taking the 20 minutes to drive south for dine here. read more

The food is good but dinner there is spendy. It is good if you like beef steaks or lamb. Their seafood dishes have been not so great to my taste although their seafood is fairly fresh. The waiters would explain the "specials", but those are actually more expensive than the ones on the menu ($35+ for the entree) so be aware. Some of the younger waitress are not really careful about the specific orders I made such as "no dairy product" for my dish since I am mildy allergic to them. However, the wine steamed clams (appetiser) had butter in it (I noticed it but I ate it without complaint), and the fried Kale which was substituted (original side had dairy) side had cheese in it. I complained about the cheese in the fried Kale to the waitress but she insisted that there was absolutely no dairy in it. But I can tell the difference of the cheese and garlic so I picked up the cheese piece and gave it to the manager on the floor, then they finally admitted that cheese was in. They apologized for it but they offered no discount nor free dessert or anything. In the past, they put tomato ketchup instead of raspberry sauce on the pena cotta by mistake. That time, I recall that no discount nor free dessert offered as well after I complained. I guess I had to complain harder? I think it is a standard courtesy to offer something if they made mistakes like that. But usually, the service is good so the stories like above are not the norm there. Good deal for the dinner is a slack time special which was $35 set menu for the dinner including appetiser, entree, and dessert. 40% off for the selected wines by a bottle. Their lunch is very reasonable and good too. read more

Great food all grown locally and prepared deliciously and seasonally. Its a little on the pricey side but I have to say that the food was delicious and the wine selection was great too. My friend and I didn't need a reservation when we ate here last Wednesday night. read more

This was great! Loved the ambiance, the staff and the food, especially the vegan and gluten free lemon creme Burle... would definitely visit again. read more

The grub at CKs is incredible but this time I had the burger, it was top notch. The best burger in Sun Valley as far as I'm concerned. I tried Ketchum Grill, Vintage and Grumpys, they were all great but CKs was the best. The burger had a certain char to it that you could taste. It wasn't burnt but it was seared to a point that it had crisp yet was moist and delicious inside. They had the perfect bun and it was worth passing up other items on the menu. The place is great, trout is the usual pick but next time I go I'll be craving that burger again. read more

The food at CKs was really killer. My husband & I were treating ourselves, so we tried several aps with a great glass of rose, including a vegan stuffed avocado served with a salad that included edible flowers & pea vines. My husband loved his Kobe Flat Iorn steak & I tried the slow food of the day. I really love that their menu is seasonal & features local ingredients. It was a warm summer evening & it was such a pleasant atmosphere with the doors open to the patio. Half of the great atmosphere was the wonderful service. We go to surprisingly few restaurants where the staff is actually warm & friendly. I was so happy to experience that at CK's. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted in such a friendly way. Our server was very pleasant & attentive as well. Even when we left the bartender wished us good night. Just a great experience. read more

Absolutely delicious food! The service was great, but truly we loved the atmosphere food and wine. We couldn't have picked an item wrong off the menu. We started with gluten free bread, gluten free Mac and cheese with bacon. For the main dish we had a lobster risotto and their rack of lamb. The lobster risottos was to die for and so generous on the amount of lobster in the dish. We finished the night off with a ginger beer float, so creative and delicious. Definitely will return and refer friends! read more

First time at Ck's.. Excellent service. Great food- oysters, beat salad and chopped salad are too notch. Our group was not a big fan of the special- squash blossoms with goat cheese. Dinners that were the favorite - salmon, flat iron and roasted chicken. Desserts were amazing. read more

THIS IS THE PLACE!!!!!! The food is out of this world! Where do we start. The menu items were unique, not too many choices that you were overwhelmed but enough variety that every one can find something they like. The presentation of all the dishes was compared to that of a gourmet chef presentation. The taste was what really got us. Like nothing we have ever had before. We ended up getting their soup of the day, the beet salad, the cheese plate which I highly recommend, the bread pudding spinach morel appetizer. We got all three specials considering how good everything up that point was which was a phenomenal choice!! Not only did we order all three but we ate all three completely, they were just too good not too. And of corse we had to try their deserts which you can't go wrong with. Amazing beer , we got the stout which was one of the best we have had and the wine list is incredible with lots of choices and great selections. The server was very calm, smiley, honest, knowledgable and most of all friendly. She made sure we had everything we needed and that we ordered the best things on the menu. She was great at letting us know what dishes not to waste our time on and which to order. We are from kuna, which is a Good 2 1/2 hour drive away and we both agreed that we would gladly take the trip just to eat dinner here again. Truly a top pick of mine in Idaho!!!! read more

I'd give CK's ten stars if I could! Ambiance= ten stars, friendly service=ten stars and food= ten stars! We had squash blossoms and crab cakes to start, both amazing! The fresh catch was a wild salmon with local corn and fresh pesto. Did not disappoint. Neither did the homemade carrot cake! I love CK's! read more

My favorite restaurant in the Sun Valley area! I went here with a couple locals that recommended the restaurant -- it did not disappoint. Our server, Janine, was SUPER professional. She was never intrusive & was able to describe all of the dishes we asked about. I had some dietary restrictions, she wasn't awkward about it which is always annoying... We each had an appetizer, entree, side & dessert. The Cajun Trout was out of this world. It tasted fresh & the tartar sauce had a beautifully balanced flavor & texture. The others also thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Cocktails were on point, wine selection BTG was decent. Dessert was absolutely delicious, I appreciated the variety of options. I had the lime pie with a glass of sherry that Janine recommended. Experience was perfect from the moment we stepped in the door until we left. Highly recommend for both their hospitality and delicious food. This will be my go-to place when I'm in the area. read more

This is truly a great place! The food is creative and delicious and you may try some new combination of flavors when you visit. The gardens are amazing and if the weather is good sitting outside is a real pleasure. The staff here go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, at home and enjoy your visit. Don't miss this spot if you are visiting the Wood River Valley. read more

Yes it was pricey. Yes it was good. Farm to table with the local glitterati. Expected more, but it was still very good. The outdoor seating added to the ambiance. I would recommend the slow cooked meat dishes. read more

Really excellent food. Service is very good, and staff is friendly and accommodating. Had a large group of hungry mountain-bikers in town for the week, and everyone really enjoyed the food...certainly the best dinner of the trip. Ordered the lamb and panna cotta for dessert...both were excellent, and lamb was a generous portion, cooked perfectly, with a sauce so good it brought a tear to my eye. Also had a chilled apricot soup that I think had beets in it as well...was tasty but hard to describe since I've never experienced apricot themed soup before :) With the obvious quality and freshness of the ingredients, would very much look forward to eating here again. read more

Our first time here certainly did not disappoint! Their patio is shaded and ruined with beautiful flowers and greenery. The menu was inventive with several options that made it difficult to hoose just one dish. All food is housemate, which adds to the flavorful quality. Each bite was a delight! read more

Wow... after spending the day working on an airplane, it was so nice to sit down to a beautiful meal in a quaint and beautiful location. Living in Los Angeles, I have grown accustomed to dining in typically over priced, over hyped restaurants that are known more for the clientele they serve rather than the food they serve. CK's Real Food in Hailey, Idaho was a welcomed surprise. Located on Main street, among several local businesses that appear to be operating from venues that were once homes... CK's is no exception. If you blink, you may pass this wonderful little oasis. It is nestled in what looks like a house with a wonderful garden and patio. They have a FANTASTIC wine list (which is why, if I am rambling... 3 glasses later ~ I am ready for bed) and a wonderful menu that seems to change daily depending on what vegetable is available from the garden they have out back or what meat is currently supplied by local ranches. Our table shared an appetizer of flowering squash (grown on the property) stuffed with feta cheese and rolled into a batter then lightly fried. wow... I only indulged in a bite ~ but, it was amazing. For dinner I had the seared ahi with mango salsa salad. It was delightful. The ahi was seared to perfection and served with 3 different sauces for dipping (wasabi, soy, and one other?) It literally melted in my mouth. SO GOOD! Both of the gentlemen I dined with ordered the Rib-Eye. One exclaimed that it was simply the best steak he had ever eaten. And let me just say, this means a lot coming from him. I work/travel with him at least 10 days per month and he is a very finicki eater. We finished off our meal by sharing some of the vanilla ice cream. Which of course did not come from a tub. They make all of their ice creams from scratch on the premises. And plain vanilla ice cream never tasted so good! Ck's cuisine is inspired globally but, comes from local organic suppliers. This restaurant is a must if you find yourself in this sweet little town. Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing service and amazing prices! read more

When my husband and I visit Hailey relatives we always go to CKs at least once a week. Never disappointing. Love to sit where we can watch the chefs in the kitchen. read more

It may serve local organic and environmentally sustainable meals, and it may charge California prices for it, but when you are in Hailey, ID in the summer you are not dressing up to attend this true gem of a restaurant. We found this place and instantly fell in love with the menu which included local sustainable slow roasted pork shoulder, ahi tuna poke, Idaho trout and Alaskan Salmon. The wine selection featured lots of great California favourites as well. All in all a great place to dine when in Hailey. read more

This is always such an excellent place to have a meal. The menu constantly changes according to what's fresh locally and cooked to perfection The owners, family and staff are simply the best. We always sit at the chefs counter and watch all the food being prepared as well as have great conversations with the chef and other staff. This is a resturant you always come back too. read more

Great atmosphere. My husband and I had dinner outside on their patio area and it's absolutely beautiful. Definitely recommend this place of you're looking to eat out with someone special. Very friendly staff read more

Outdoor seating.No reservation needed if you come on the late side. Large portions. Extensive wine menu. Upscale.

Best restaurant in Idaho! We have dined here many times and have been blown away every time. The food is the freshest and perfectly prepared! The wine list is perfectly matched for the cuisine and very fair priced. We would recommend CK's without a second thought. Can't wait to go back. read more

Great RESTURANT with great menu and service! The resturant was very clean and help was very nice!

It's all about the food here. Service is good. Not pretentious. Seasonal food cooked to perfection. I looooove ck's!

Just an ok meal. The pate was not great. Fig appetizer disappointed. Wedge salad was excellent, beet salad not so much. Nice ambiance and good service. read more

This place is ridiculously good... Idk why they don't put oil and vinegar on the table initially but ask for it. The roasted cauliflower is probably the best side. Everything on the menu is great! read more
