    Meatballs and corn cream brulee

    10 out of 10. Service spectacular, food amazing. But i am formally requesting for their hand in marriage to whom ever came up with the recipe for corn cream brulee!!

    This place was amazing, everything was perfect. We went there for the first time for our anniversary and it didn't disappoint. Service was great, food was amazing, environment was good. Only thing is you can't go there and not expect to spend some cash. It's a little spendy for me but worth it for special occasions.

    This was hands down the best restaurant experiences I have had in years. The vibe is ultra modern, high end steakhouse with a mix of being at a club. The food was amazing! From the craft cocktails to the bottle of delicious wine and the food OMG! The one thing anyone has to order is the table side potato! This was life changing and you're in Idaho of course you have to have one! They have everything you could ever want on a potato including burnt ends and potato chips. The steak was also cooked and seasoned so well it was like butter melting in your mouth. Then for sure order the accompanying sauces they are a must. The service was nothing short of 5 star. We came a little early and had a few craft cocktails at the bar prior to dinner and this is also something that shouldn't be missed. The vibe in the bar is awesome! You can eat in here as well but we made a reservation for a special event. There was a snafu on our reservation time that was on them and they felt really bad and gave us our bar drinks on them. Nice bonus! Our server was nothing short of amazing and made the whole experience and our special night all that more special! If you live here or just visiting out this ultra cool new spot on your list!

    Filet Carpaccio

    Great date night location! Delicious food, phenomenal drinks, and amazing service. Food: 5/5. Wow! This restaurant is pricey, but the food is unbelievably good. We started off with my new favorite drink, Carajillo. It was one of the best I've had. The Hemlock was also a great drink. The bread is unlike any other bread I've had. The filet Carpaccio was SO GOOD! Not something I have had before but definitely something I would recommend. As someone who LOVES all things potatoes, the table side potato for two was one of my favorite things about Hemlock. So many options to choose from, but our "Spud Stud" was great and made the perfect potato! We also had the Tri-tip for two that was the best meat I have tasted. Service: 4.5/5. Camren was delightful and super friendly. Everyone working was really great. Although the food was delicious, it did take a while to get our food. We also had reservations, but had to wait in the bar area for about 5-10 minutes for our table. While at the bar area, no one came to take drink orders. Atmosphere: 5/5. The atmosphere of Hemlock is beautiful and very thoughtful. Our table was on a platform that was titled marble, which was very slick getting in and out of our booth.

    Baked Idaho

    The service and food was great. Atmosphere was a vibe. Steaks were awesome 10/10 Corn 10/10 Mashed potatoes 10/10 Mac & cheese 10/10 Mushroom soup 5/10 (would never get again- lacking flavor and odd consistency) Baked Idaho dessert 5/10 way too sweet, the meringue was loose and sloppy once we scooped one bite and cake was dry. The fact that they print our name and occasion on the menu made this place 5 starts for the details and environment even though a few dishes fell short.

    My wife and I went to Hemlock last Thursday for my birthday, I have to say it did not disappoint! Our server was terrific. He walked us through everything they had on the menu - the drinks, the available steak flights, and also told us about the baked potato table side service. My wife had a filet mignon and I had the ribeye both were cooked to perfection. We also got the tableside baked potato, which was outstanding. The server that put that together for us was also very entertaining and very nice to talk to and it was very delicious. The drinks were great and very entertaining - my wife particularly enjoyed the olive brine foam on her martini, which was very good. The ambience is great, the valet parking is also great making it a very easy place to get to - we will definitely go back and bring friends the next time.

    My husband and I just had an amazing dinner at Hemlock in downtown Boise. Everything from the drinks to the atmosphere to the service felt elevated and memorable. I ordered the Smurf Turf Margarita, and it was outstanding. It had the perfect spicy kick and was made with roasted jalapeño agave that gave it a deep, smoky heat. I could still feel the spice on my lips hours later in the best possible way. My husband ordered the Hemlock Old Fashioned that came with an orange peel and a steak burnt end for a garnish. It was so good that we both had to order a second round. We started with the oysters that were so fresh and delicious we almost asked for more, but we wanted to save room because we knew what was coming next. The tableside baked potato bar was the highlight of the night. The Potato Princess herself, Malory Martinez, created a full performance at our table. She brought out a giant potato that was already over a pound, scooped out the inside, and mixed it with lobster butter, lardons, five cheeses, and red onion. She topped it with cheddar and torched it right in front of us with a small blowtorch. She finished it with house-made potato chips tossed in truffle oil and added a very generous serving of sour cream on the side. Once all the toppings were added, this potato easily weighed more than three pounds. It was rich, decadent, and absolutely unforgettable. For our entrees, I had the filet mignon with bacon hollandaise, truffle sauce, and crispy shallot. My husband had the 16 ounce ribeye. We also ordered the mushroom side. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and everything was full of flavor. One of the most thoughtful touches of the night was the personalized menu. Since we booked through OpenTable, our last name was printed on the menu. They will also add special occasions if you note them in your reservation. At the end of the meal, they roll up your personalized menu into a scroll tied with string so you can take it home. It is such a unique and charming detail. Hemlock is definitely on the pricier side, but the entire experience is absolutely worth it. The ambiance is hip, modern, and swanky, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. This was a special treat and a fantastic night out. I highly recommend Hemlock for a celebration, a date night, or any time you want an unforgettable dining experience.

    Absolutely amazing. DO NOT SKIP THE FRENCH ONION SOUP. We went right when happy hour started to split a few items we were very interested in before our drive back to Portland and they did NOT disappoint! The thousand layer duck fat potatoes brought us in and while they were delicious, I could've used with a little more salt or seasoning. The steak skewers were great on the spot and in the car later. The French onion soup was the undisputed star of the show. It blew both of our minds and we're still talking about it a month later. Check this place out, you'll be glad you did!

    I got the Syringa as a cocktail instead of a cocktail...it's a little sweet and a little sour, but absolutely delicious!

    If you don't know, Hemlock, on the ground level of the Inn at 500 (hotel), took over Richard's a few months back. They did a redesign on the space and the menu, as they're a high-end steakhouse, and although it's their focus...it's not all they do. We stayed at the Inn at 500 this week, and made reservations for Hemlock for one of our nights there. It's a classy. place, but there isn't a dress code, so don't worry too much about what you're wearing. The ambience is warm and relaxing, low-lighting, dark wood tones, privacy between tables. It's quite lovely, and I inadvertently fell in love with a flamingo lamp with feathers in the corner of one of the booths. I will find a look alike....I have to! There's a combination of things that make this place outrageously wonderful, but food and service are at the top of that list. I can't tell you how many different people checked on us while we were there. Our glasses were always full or replaced, they offered recommendations and tips, and they were all incredibly respectful and kind, even when my husband was throwing out ridiculous jokes. Oh, and get this....the name of your party will be on your menu, welcoming you to Hemlock. Most people never notice, according the our server, but I did, and I thought it was such a thoughtful thing to add to the experience. Now, for the food!!! Spoiler alert: we over-ordered. There were so many delicious items on the menu, we had a hard time deciding. We started with a Grilled Caesar to share, which was lovely and the handmade dressing was delectable. For dinner, my husband went with the 8oz. PRIME Filet Mignon, I chose the Pasta - linguine, locally foraged mushrooms & pistachio mascarpone sauce - so rich and wonderful, but you better be a. mushroom fan! Aaaaand, we also ordered the "1000 Layer Duck Fat Potatoes". These are not baked potatoes, nor are they French fries....they are something very different that I'm not going to share because it's something you need to experience on your own. Don't get any sauce with it. Just eat it as is. Trust me on this.

    Happy hour menu.

    I was in town to help out at a Yelp Elite Event and stayed at the Inn where this restaurant is located. I was about to walk down the street to find something to eat before our event, when I heard the hustle and bustle of what sounded like a happy hour coming from Hemlock (which is located just off the lobby). So, of course, I had to check it out! This place was SO much fun! I quickly found a seat at the bar, ordered a dirty house martini (with bonus foam), and a plate of their over-the-top delicious steak bites. It was all so good. What put this spot on the 5-star list for me, though, was the incredible, fast, and super friendly service from my bartender. Not to mention, the casual-yet-elevated decor. Apparently this gem was recently renovated and rebranded, and let's just say they are on point on all levels. My only regret is I was in town for just one night, so I couldn't enjoy happy hour all over again the next day!

    We had been meaning to try Hemlock, the newest steakhouse in downtown Boise that took over the former Richard's space in Hotel 500. It is the latest concept from the team behind one of our favorite taco spots, Spitfire in Eagle. Parking downtown can be a bit tricky, but Hemlock does have valet service available out front. We stopped in for happy hour and grabbed a high-top in the bar. The atmosphere is stylish, with high-end finishes that feel elevated without being pretentious. The chairs, tables, and overall décor all make a great impression. For food, we started with the deviled eggs topped with pork belly, which were perfectly done and a standout bite. Next we split the burger and fries. The burger is a classic flat-top style, made from the prime steak trimmings, and you can really tell. Their house-made burger sauce was an instant hit with both of us. Even though that was plenty of food, I could not resist trying the "1000 layer potato." Imagine the buttery flakiness of a croissant, but made from thinly layered potatoes. Absolutely divine. Happy hour prices were excellent and the service was outstanding from start to finish. Hemlock is an impressive addition to Boise dining and one we will be returning to many times over. Highly recommended.

    The Hemlock special edition whiskey sour. Classy.

    From the thickly padded and upholstered entry door to cloth beverage napkins and everything in between, the atmosphere exudes class. The professional, attentive and courteous service staff in crisp, clean uniforms furthers the argument for Hemlock being a swanky dining experience. The personalized menus for our small party of four was the icing on this very polished cake. My first thought when I looked at the menu was that we had picked the most expensive restaurant in town. I cannot count the times that high prices did not equate to value. Hemlock is not one of those. Every dish set on our table was extraordinary. It did not disappoint. When they brought the tab, which was significant, we didn't have a problem one with it - the food and experience was worth every penny. Our table had the French onion soup people have raved about, pork chop, mushroom bisque, filet mignon, grilled Caesar salad, and duck fat potatoes. It was all remarkable. Even the salad was something special. Drinks were expensive but exquisitely crafted and delicious, including the complimentary birthday shots of some pink deliciousness. I can only imagine the desserts, which unfortunately, we were too stuffed to sample. Next time! Overall, I would rank Hemlock among the best of dining experiences. May want to save it for special occasions as it may break the bank to eat there frequently.

Fresh bread and butter was served, also. The Texas Tonion arrived quickly: hot and delicious. NOT GREASY! I prefer ranch dressing rather than the dip provided and Melannie brought it quickly. The salads were out fast. Tasty. The entrees were delivered long enough after the appetizer and salads so we didn't feel rushed. NICE! I don't enjoy starting an app or salad only to have my hot entree placed in front of me. Good timing here! So, that being said, my potato was warm not hot. His potato was hot and a little dry. His steak was delicious, seasoned nicely without an overabundance of salt, and cooked medium rare as he asked. My salmon was perfect. Again not overly salted but perfectly seasoned. The rice was good. It was a very enjoyable lunch. The atmosphere is conducive for conversation; we didn't have to yell over the music to be heard. Melannie was very attentive, checking back frequently, and brought another soda before I needed to ask. The only other cons, hence the 4 stars, is that my menu was filthy. I asked for a clean one and the hostess found 2 more that were dirty before handing me a clean one. Also, his fork had food stuck to it and my steak knife was greasy before I used it. I was so busy I forgot to take pics of the entrees. Sorry! They looked good. Take my word for it.

My girl had the rotisserie chicken, falling off the bone delicious, Colonel Sanders needs to step up his game. Another thing I can say, I find usually in high end restaurants I find myself still hungry afterwords, not here, I was completely satisfied with my meal. We ordered dessert, it was the vanilla bean something or other, don't eat fancy so I don't quite know these things. Here comes my only complaint, the sugar coating tasted a bit like burnt coffee, but was still delicious and we ate the whole thing. Before she brought it out, our server asked about the occasion. She took a picture of us with our dessert, which had writing in strawberry sauce, "happy anniversary". Like I said, we don't eat fancy often, especially because we feel unwelcome in many places with as young as we are (18 and 19), but this place made both me and my girl feel special, thank you land and ocean. I cut our faces out for privacy, she took a good picture don't worry about that.

    Our waitress Kansas was amazing. I have a newly diagnosed gluten allergy and she was really helpful.read more

    We came to Corso to celebrate my friend's birthday. We all love happy hour so tonight we killed two…read morebirds with one stone. You can't beat happy hour vibes and birthday celebrations in one visit. Talk about a win win! I was that weird customer and got here exactly at 3 when they opened. To be honest with you, I loved that I got to spec out the bar area before everyone showed up. I got to appreciate the beautiful richness of the bar. It's just stunning. The red just makes the vibe sexy, mysterious and romantic. The tables were all beautifully lit with table lamps. I see people just falling in love with each other over a romantic cocktail here. I didn't really check out the dining area but if the bar area is this romantic, I can only imagine the other half of this joint. Cameron took care of us tonight. While I was waiting for the others to show up, I got myself a coke zero and chilled. I did peep out the menu and of course the happy hour menu. I knew we were in for a real treat. After the girls showed up, an old fashioned and a couple glasses of wine were ordered. And of course we got some food started! Oysters, fried caprese and shrimp cocktail. I know this food line up was going to be banger. One by one our food was coming out. Each appetizer was prettier than the plate before it. The shrimp cocktail was elegantly plated. The fried caprese was delicately garnished with herbs, tomatoes and a balsamic glaze. The oysters looked like they were just brought from the ocean fresh. Presentation was on point. I had to pass on the oysters. I don't eat oysters but I also can't have it cause of the new kidney. But from what I heard, the oysters were fantastic. I started off with the fried caprese, so good! The bread crumbs on the outside were savory and crunchy. The mozzarella in the middle was creamy and slightly melted. With the tomatoes, herbs and glaze in each bite...... wow. The ultimate flavor combo! Sweet, salty, cheesey and crunchy. To only have was hard cause I could have polished all 4! The shrimp cocktail was perfectly halved. Sprinkles of capers and microgreens added some earthy tones to the plate. I appreciate that they were sliced in half. It was easier to eat. I was able to cover each slice with some cocktail sauce. There was a nice heat from the horseradish that wasn't overwhelming. Enough to tickle your nose but not make you blackout. The fresh bread did make an appearance while we were eating. Better late than not getting fresh bread at all! The bread was out of the oven warm. I took a nice piece and slapped some butter on it. Fresh bread and butter will always be the best combo. I love the saltiness from the seasonings on top. It was soft, warm and crusty. I could have came here for a huge chunk of warm bread and left happy. That bread was killer. Cameron was great and got my friend, Laura a piece of limoncello cake for her birthday. Laura saved me a chunk of that slice of heaven. I was outside on a phone call when they started working on it. Grateful my friend was kind and shared her cake with me. Woooooooooww. We were making jokes about saying it would be our birthday every week so we can come in for limoncello cake. It was the perfect dessert to end our meal. I'm so happy we got to come in tonight. Food was chef's kiss. Cameron did a marvelous job taking care of us girls. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. And I loved how diverse the crowd was. The vibe was truly one of a kind unique. I look forward to coming back with my husband and having a romantic dinner here. I got the fun, light hearted happy hour experience. My next visit will most definitely be a romantic dinner with my husband kind of visit. I can't wait!

    I hate leaving negative reviews, but after choosing Corso Italian Steakhouse to celebrate my mom's…read more50th birthday, I feel like people should know about our experience. It started with the stuffed mushrooms, which were disappointing. They were basically just stuffed with sausage and lacked any real flavor or balance. My Hugo Spritz arrived with what looked like only two sips in the glass, which was surprising considering the price. Unfortunately, the entrees were even worse. My mom's steak was served cold, and her twice baked potato looked like it had been made the day before and barely reheated. Another steak and potato were exactly the same. We sent both steaks back, and after waiting quite a while, they came back looking like they had simply been microwaved. Instead of fixing the issue, both steaks were now completely overcooked and dry. We had chicken piccata pasta and that was honestly inedible. My chicken Parmesan was just okay, but the broccolini had such a strong chemical taste that I couldn't eat it. For what should have been a special dinner celebrating my mom's 50th birthday, this was incredibly disappointing. Between the poor food quality, long wait to correct obvious issues, and the fact that the "fix" made the steaks even worse, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. We left frustrated and wishing we had chosen somewhere else for such an important celebration.
