Tim was friendly, helpful and accommodating. I know absolutely nothing about cigars and he took the time to help me get just the right ones. The place was spotless, comfortable and welcoming. I never smoked a cigar but I'd be willing to give this place a try!

I was in town for business, and I had a local friend tell me, "you gotta go in here. You can tell…read morethe bartender what you like flavor wise, and they will make you something even better than you can imagine." And that, my friends, is exactly what happened. I walked in, not sure what to get. The bartender asked me what flavors I like. She went away and made me this epic cocktail. She told me all the things she added, and it was clear, these bartenders are the real deal. They know their stuff. I drank my delightful cocktail way too fast. But it was so damn good. The vibe is fun. They bartenders interact with everyone and do all kinds of cool things with cool ingredients and tell you about it all. Perfect spot for a loungey date night, or a meet up with a friend. There is no food. But plenty of spots on 8th in walking distance. This is probably one of the best cocktail bars I've ever been to. ... and I've been to a lot. :)

I first came here in June of last year (2025), Before I moved to the treasure Valley area. Within…read morethe first hour of being here, I felt the most welcome. Like this bar changed my whole perspective on the whole state of Idaho being a California transplant, which doesn't hold that much weight with other people in Idaho, but I don't care. I will always come here anytime I come downtown and I will always overtip because the likes of Ruby and Darien never disappoint, including the regulars, whom are also always nice. For every overrated cactus bar with the worst service, there is the mode lounge which sets the standard for everything in Boise.

It tasted even better than I remembered--rich, earthy, and perfect. Cocktails: Still top-tier. Consistently some of the best drinks in town. Spicy Calamari: My old "usual." A little less tangy than I recall, but still a great start to the meal. Flat Iron French Dip: Very solid, though the Double Smash Burger looked so good I'll have to get that next time. The staff was fantastic--attentive and welcoming. It's rare for a place to live up to the nostalgia, but this spot still has great vibes.

You are checked on frequently but not so frequent to interrupt the occasion. The food is the best around. The steak was huge and we decided to split it, still resulting in steak to be taken home. The Mac and cheese was some of the best. The asparagus dish was absolutely the best thing I've had in a long time. If I could beg for a permanent menu addition I would! Their cheesecakes are always on point, the GM makes them and deserves a raise based off the cheesecakes alone.

Now I know I have not eaten here before...we did stop in a couple of times and once left because nothing on the HH menu looked good to us at that time. The second time we walked out after sitting there for 10-15 minutes and not getting any service! Now it was a beautiful morning and my gf really wanted to go here, great patio I will say. It took a bit seeing that we didn't have a reservation but we did get seated on the patio. Now I will say the service was not great but it was not an issue for the most part, I thought our waitress did a good job she was just really busy! What I will judge was the wait and the food! I love the fact they care about their ingredients, what they use and where they get it...it showed in some ways! What I didn't love was the fact they absolutely sucked on the follow through! I had the crab eggs Benedict...now I remember from culinarily school that hollandaise sauce is hard, but making it without it breaking is a MUST! Mine was broken, fat separated out, something you would never see at a half ass breakfast place like Dennys!! This was gross, pure and simple! My gfs breakfast came out wrong...took a while to get it the first time and even longer to get the right dish!!! It was an eggswhite Frittata, they do not take long to make in a very small cast iron! Now the part that I really didn't like...she paid, she is not my baby momma, love of my life but not mother of my daughter...and she paid the whole bill!! She should not have been charged for the Frittata...it took forever to get the right one and then she didn't eat much of it at all, we were done time wise and it was not good...very bland and rubbery!! She wouldn't let me complain since she was paying, she is so sweet and kind, just that kind of person! I was tempted to quietly track down the manager...but didn't! Should have! Over all, don't think I would go back! When your kitchen can't make simple sauces and the basics, why should I give you my money?? Or hers! The manager owes her a gift card! KT

I had to walk up to the bar a few times to order. I get that they do bikini nights on Thursdays to get more people to come, but I think it's actually doing the opposite as a few potential customers walked in and walked out after a couple minutes without ordering anything. Great place to watch sports with a lot of tvs, but that's the only positive for me.
