    Salmon Wellington with mushroom risotto
    Caroline Rolofson ..

    My husband and I went on date night on a Tuesday when they weren't too busy and we had the best service. We booked our table online. On arrival, we were greeted by professional staff, and we were sat immediately. It felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant the way we received such excellent service by Denise. She had expert knowledge of the wines as well as the menu and had robust knowledge of the artwork. She provided excellent recommendations regarding the menu. The chef was phenomenal and everything was cooked to perfection. We started the meal with the escargot. It was my first time having escargot in the shell. Felt extra fancy. Served with additional utensils I had never used. I hope you are entertained by the video I have attached. next was a starter of feta cheese and olives with a flight of wine. Our server might have been a Somalia given how amazing she was with educating us on the wines we tasted. After our second round of appetizers, we did decide to indulge in some soups. The French onion soup was superb. It was broiled with a very thick layer of cheese on top. Chunks of French bread within the French onion soup made for a delightful treat to find. My husband had their clam chowder. He felt the clam chowder was exquisitely homemade. He didn't even offer me a bite to try! For our main course, we ordered the salmon wellington and the rack of lamb. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly medium rare. My husband paired the rack of lamb with the mashed potatoes. I went with the salmon wellington, which was a rare treat! I upgraded my side to get the mushroom risotto. I highly recommend both entrees! Lastly, we finished had the flourless cake for dessert. It was so rich and decadent. We took an impromptu tour of the facility, taking in the artwork and exquisitely decorated interior. I highly recommend this restaurant for your next date night or event! we will be back.

    My husband and I visited Roghani's for Valentine's Day. We ordered from the Cupid's Kiss Valentine's Menu and had an amazing experience. The pre-fixed menu was delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed every course especially the dessert. The atmosphere was wonderful, enhanced by the musical talents of Adam Gottesman. The service was top-notch, with our waiter being exceptionally attentive throughout the evening.

    Afternoon Tea (one Gluten Free, the other traditional)
    Lisa S.

    This Review is mostly in regards to the Afternoon Teas: (I've attended one on a Saturday as well as one on a Wednesday.) unfortunately... both times were lackluster at best... although waitstaff for other tables looked to be good, even possibly great... both times I've gone the actual table service at my table has been quite poor. (Also broken equipment, inconsistent gluten free experiences, unhappy staff before service even starts...) Also- absolutely would not recommend for high risk folks during era of Covid-19. (Yes they took people's temperatures, but didn't seem to enforce proper mask wearing to all staff... all staff, mask worn properly- being the key... ) I should note I usually don't write reviews with negative aspects... I usually simply don't review those places... but since I gave feedback on the Feedback card, gave detailed feedback to the mgr via email (per mgr request)... but to no response... after spending hundreds there both times, & recommending it to many many the last 5 years... I will no longer recommend. So I do not recommend the restaurant, do not recommend the teas, & I also do not recommend for events. (5 years of hearing of others, in addition to my own- of the very inconsistent service is enough.) Just know if you chose to go- know that it could be a good experience...or a very poor one. (And yes this also unfortunately extends to the Camille Beckman Gift Shop & her products.) Caveat: I do recommend the delicious local honey avail for purchase in the gift shop.

    Unfortunately I had high expectations. We came out on a night an event was going on. So if you want to try this place I suggest you ask if they are hosting an event before making the reservation. We were not told when making the decision and when we arrived we struggled to find parking. We were 1 of 5 tables in the actual restaurant and had arrived early to walk the grounds. They told us they could seat us early and then we waited 30 min before the singer took it upon himself to bring us some water. I suppose we should have realized that we would be waiting repeatedly through the night for general service needs. It was our special night and both of us had looked forward to this for months. We are very busy and rarely get to go out on a Friday. We love meals as an experience so me make a point to pair and document in a food journal the primer destinations with elaborate entries from all over Spain and the United States. (Only recently started sharing on yelp) I'd been raving about the short ribs I was served at a function a few months ago and wanted my husband to experience the risotto (must point out the best in the area). Something was not the same with the short ribs as I remembered still very good but the texture was different. We learned a new chef had just started so he will be fine tuning and should not be judged on his first day with an event of 300 in the next room. Again I must point out the [Food was very good and delicious] but unfortunately it was cold and by the time we got our wine it was very cold. The server whom we had told we wanted to make sure and pair our wine with each of our dishes seemed to understand and insisted we taste the house vineyard wines. First Photo: starting with an appetizer, we chose the wines we each wished to go with the escargot and he returned eventually to take the rest of our order. We placed our orders. 1st off he dropped off the salad and ran away. Our choice would have been a fun cocktail from the menu that would have possibly complimented the beet salad had he returned or even checked back on us (2nd course) thank goodness for the singer who noticed our water glasses were empty again. We sat wondering when he would return so we could order the glass to go with our entrees. Then came the 3rd course, he took our empty glasses and I chose a Pino noir and then as my husband was trying to ask for the glass he wanted the server walked away. 10 minutes passed we were, basically a second thought. My husband had to flag him down. Then he eventually returned buying our 2nd glasses (which was the right thing to do considering it was not the wine my husband had hoped to pair with the short rib) but we really would have rather had hot food with wine. It was another long wait. We were so bummed we opted out of coffee and desert. I stoped taking photos of the food after I lost inspiration. After another long wait for a check he returned and made a comment about how we should come back and order desert sometime. Hard to say if we will ever even try. I enjoyed the music and the grounds very much.

    Salmon wellington was absolutely delicious!
    Danielle B.

    The food and wine were delicious but it wasn't the greatest experience. My husband and I came here on May 14th for our 8 year anniversary. The moment we walked in I felt a little awkward. The staff were nice but...I don't know it felt a little odd. They sat us at our table and the dinning room was very beautiful. We were the second table to be sat as I assume they had just opened up for the evening. It took our waiter over 5 minutes to bring a wine menu, didn't get a regular menu until 10 minutes after we were sat and didn't get to order our food or wine until 20 minutes after we were sat. I could understand if they were busy but like I said there was only one other table sat and there was plenty of staff wondering around. About 10 minutes after we were sat a party of 4 were sat in the center of the dinning room and they were treated like royalty as at least 4 staff were waiting on them and talking and joking around while we were sitting right next to them being completely ignored. Our waiter was very nice and everything but it just felt like we were not worth their time. The only reason I am giving this place a 3 star review is because their food was absolutely delicious the the place was beautiful. We are willing to give them another chance in the future because the food was so good but my expectations will be a little lower so I am not as disappointed again. I was really excited for this place for our anniversary and I left a little bummed.

    Mussels and clams
    Hollie L.

    I talked a friend into going to dinner on Friday evening. We shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and started with the mussels and clam appetizer. After our first taste she was mad at me because I opted to choose only 1lb. They have an option of 1 or 2lbs. I said yes yes I'm so sorry but we have more to eat. She ordered the portobello mushroom cap meal that is filled with sautéed veggies. This THIS was hands down the best vegetarian dish I have ever tried. But then again I enjoy meat so I might not be the best judge. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli with sage brown butter sauce. It was to be honest a little too sweet for my liking. I felt like I was eating a desert wrapped in pasta. But I'm more of a savory dish person and it's one of their best sellers. The sautéed seasonal veggies that came with it were delicious! So please if you like that be your own judge and try it. The ambiance, the service, and the evening was a 10/10 for me. I was shocked at our bill and in a good way! For an appetizer, 2 entrees and bottle of wine it was about $130 before tip. I mean to not deal with downtown and crowds where your forgotten about this was beyond amazing!

    I found this place while on my way to another lunch spot. Had never heard of it, but apparently…read moreit's been here for 20 years tucked away in this little shopping center area. The current chef has had it operational for five years. Tons of great parking, even up to the front door. It's tiny when you initially walk in with about eight tables, but they recently expanded next-door so it should open up. The ambience is relaxing with background music from Sinatra and other swooners. You really wanna settle in for some good long conversation here. Everything was immaculate. You could tell that they really take care to ensure cleanliness is first and foremost. The menu is easy to read and very reasonably priced. I asked for the daily special and the server, who had a great attitude and warm personality, shared they had a turkey and bacon club with basil pesto, tomato and other goodies on an in-house made focaccia. All of it is lightly toasted and warm when it arrives. I ordered it with a side of fries, but it also comes with a salad or soup. This amazing sandwich did not disappoint in any way. The ratio of meat to accompaniments to spread and bread were perfect. The bread was not too thick. The basil pesto was not excessive. The meat was perfectly toasted. The size of the sandwich is enough to fill any appetite from small to large. It was in fact the best sandwich I've had in years. Recall from my bio that I was a chef and I had a deli where I made sandwiches that were award-winning. I have to admit, I had nothing on my menu that could even come close to this delicious sandwich. It seems pretty simple to be able to put some meat and spread on a nice bread and heat it, but this went beyond simple. The flavor profile hit on all cylinders. I ordered the fries and they too were perfect. Hot and crispy with just enough garlic, and Parmesan to taste it, but not overwhelm it. I cannot say enough about this meal. Between the service, the delicious food, and the ambience, this is now my go to place for lunch. I urge you to take some time to get to the Stuffed Olive in Eagle Idaho and experience what this chef is doing for this community and it's starving foodies.

    WILL BE CLOSING FOR GOOD ON JUNE 27, 2025. See owner's gracious farewell notice inserted below…read more If you want to bid farewell to Stuffed Olive you have another 3 weeks to do it. The good news in the sad news is that this will be turned over to a father / daughter team who will open a new concept here. The maybe not so good news is that in a community awash in chain restaurants on this side of Boise, I think the concept mentioned, Potholder Cafe, is a small California based chain. "To our dear Stuffed Olive Family: a heartfelt thank you to our incredible community. After 20 wonderful years, The Stuffed Olive is closing its doors on Friday, June 27th. This is a bittersweet moment for us. Running a restaurant like The Stuffed Olive has been our life's passion and our greatest joy; but it also has demanded everything we have and more. After pouring our hearts and souls into this beloved establishment for so many years, it's time for us to take a step back, to breathe, and to discover what's next. Most importantly, it's time for us to be truly present for ourselves and for our family. The Restaurant space is being handed over to a wonderful Father/Daughter team who are excited to start a new chapter in our space. They intend to bring their concept: The Potholder Cafe, a breakfast and lunch eatery into the Eagle dining scene. Alongside their new recipes will be some old favorites from the TSO menu. We're grateful that the legacy of TSO being a locally-owned, family-run space will continue with this new duo. Your unyielding support has meant the world to us, and we are so grateful for every laugh, every meal, and every memory shared within these walls. Thank you for making The Stuffed Olive more than just a restaurant. We will carry these moments with us forever. Cheers one last time, The Stuffed Olive Team

A reservation was made and we made our way in Saturday to celebrate. My husband and I were late arriving cause of work. But my family and friends got drinks and apps started. I wasn't expecting them to wait but I'm happy that they did! The drinks and apps kept them at bay till we arrived. The venue is stunning! I love the decor here. I have always been intrigued with European vintage decor and this restaurant is beautifully devoted decorated with this kind of esthetic. Such a romantic setting. The rich deep red wall. The ornate vintage frames. The plants. It's truly a beautiful set up. After my husband and I got settled in and drinks ordered, we got dinner placed. I got 2 orders of meatballs and my husband got the seafood pasta. While food was being worked on, everyone shared the bread and balsamic olive oil dip that was on the table. I heard the bread was good. I didn't get a chance to try it since it was communal. Our meals were slowly trickling out. My meatballs looked amazing! My husband's plate looked fabulous. You can see the shrimp, mussels, clams.... We all became quiet and started on our meals. My meatballs were huge! I have had meatballs at other restaurants and have been hungry still. The size of these babies let me know I was not going to have that issue. It was nicely covered in marinara. A hearty covering of parmesan. Everything about the meatballs were great! I have severe fomo so of course I had to try my husband's plate. I tried a couple of his penne. I was really thrown back at the heat of the sauce. I tried another bite and it was still spicy. The spice was something neither one of us were expecting. Before I say anything to our server, I did look over the menu to see if we missed anything in the description of the dish. No chili was listed. Nothing about it being garnished with chili flakes. From reading the menu, no spice was described in the dish. My husband has a real sensitive pallet so I asked the manager/owner why spice wasn't indicted in the menu. We wouldn't have ordered it if there was. The manager said they can remove the sauce and add new sauce that didn't have chili flakes in it. "It would make it less spicy." I was actually surprised he didn't suggest a new dish that didn't have heat in it. We were complaining about the heat and I honestly don't think replacing sauce that has spice in it with new sauce with spice will do anything.... but hey, we went with it. The second dish was made and dropped off. Unfortunately, the sauce was still spicy and my husband could barely eat it. He ate the seafood which was a few pieces of shrimp, clams, bay scallops, mussels and fish. This dish was drowned in this sauce so there was no way to eat the seafood with the sauce. This dish is 34 bucks and my husband could barely finish the seafood. Our server was kind and got me birthday dessert. The chocolate cake was killer good! It wasn't overly sweet. The frosting was rich in chocolate and the cake was super moist. I only took a couple bites and took the rest home. I was not going to leave this bad boy behind. We spent a little over 70 dollars on dinner to have my husband leave hungry. I came home and made him a second dinner. Nothing more disappointing than spending that much money just to come home and eat again. Money is tight for everyone so the fact that we chose to come here and spend our heard earned money to have my husband hungry just makes my heart sad. Overall, my meatballs and cake were good. Service was great. The venue is very pretty. But, having my husband eat a meal that was poorly described in the menu is just disappointing and having him leave husband is upsetting. I'm happy I got to try it out but I don't think we will be hitting up this joint again any time soon.

The last time I ate here, I really enjoyed our meal so I knew I was in store for a good lunch. I arrived first. I hung out for a bit. Raylyn (sp) greeted me and asked me if I wanted anything to drink. I had a flavored water so I content for the moment. My friend finally showed up shortly after. We got started on the foccacia bread and olive oil/balsamic dip. The bread was good but it wasn't warm like the previous time. It was nicely seasoned and buttery on top. The olive oil/balsamic dip is so good with it! We breezed over the menu while we were enjoying the bread. Raylyn came and took our order. We ordered some fried mozzarella to share. For lunch I got a side of meatballs and my friend got the chicken parm on pasta with a side salad. The fried mozzarella was so good! The piece of mozzarella that was fried was so thick! I had a fourth of one of the cheesesticks. I didn't want to get too full when I still had meatballs coming. My meatballs were so good! It was generously covered in their marinara sauce. It was rich in tomato with a slight heat to it, so good! My friend's chicken parm pasta was a generous portion! I probably could have made 3 meals off of his plate. He enjoyed the chicken of course and had some of the pasta. We couldn't end lunch without some birthday dessert so my friend got some cannolis started. This is my first time trying a cannoli and woooooow! It was so good! The cream in the middle had a orange flavor to it with some chocolate chips. The exterior of the cannoli was crunchy and sweet. The ends were dipped in semi sweet chocolate and was so good! I probably could have polished 2 more but I was so full from lunch. Next time I'm going to just have the bread and cannolis. That dessert was perfection. Lunch was fabulous today. Our food and dessert were divine. Raylyn did a marvelous job taking care of us! She was kind, attentive and is great at customer service. I can't stop thinking of those cannolis and I look forward to coming back soon to have some more!

The owner mentions that they plan to put the pizza oven in the space (see my long ago taken photo) to work as a pizza oven. (To now in the old ownership days it was used to finish bread.) Additions are also planned for for the menu. You will still need a reservation. The access problems from before are the same now. But the entire vibe of the place under the new ownership clearly including a skilled chef, will refresh your appetite to eat at this trattoria if it was ruined by the previous owners.

    We had a great date night at Tavolata this evening. Matt C was our server and gave us the BEST…read morerecommendations on cocktails and wine. He gave us the perfect recommendations for food as well. The ambiance is great inside this restaurant. It has a busy happy feel, cute decor for the holidays, and the staff is all extremely friendly. The food was delicious, although we are leaving in a food coma. We ordered one appetizer and two pastas, all 10/10. We will be returning!

    I really wanted to like Tavolàta, especially given the reputation for handmade pasta, but the…read moreexperience fell short of expectations. We walked in around 7 pm and it seems like a slow night. So I expect everything should be good but it wasn't. We ordered food and drinks and start right off with food even came earlier than drink. Obviously server doesn't care. The food came , salad and pasta all together and the ravioli was not even warm. The pasta itself was decent, but nothing memorable. Flavors felt a bit flat, and for the price point, I was expecting something more refined or at least more balanced. Service was also inconsistent. Our server seemed friendly but stretched thin, It didn't feel like anyone was really paying attention to the table. They seems to be paying attention on the phone than the table. And they seem really rush us out when they were only 8.30 pm when they close at 10 pm not sure why they keep asking if we need a box and put down the check right after we got our food. Overall, not a terrible experience, but definitely not one I'd rush back for, especially with other great dining options in Boise.

That is the description of what I ordered for their handmade fresh pasta rigatoni that I got. Let me just say that all these flavors that they put into one dish were absolutely amazing. I really did not think they needed to have the spinach and mushrooms. Because the lemon crema and the Gorgonzola cheese were absolute phenomenal the braze beef was just to die for. This is a very small restaurant and there's only so many tables to get. I was able to sit at the bar which Aisha was the bartender. He did an amazing job and really helped lead me to my order of ordering the rigatoni. I had a beer with dinner and I did not order dessert. If you need to go to the bathroom, there is a door that leads outside the restaurant to the bathroom the weight was a little bit long for it, and luckily a neighboring coworker was able to lead me to their bathroom. I highly recommend checking out this place just because of the handmade pasta, which was something of a unique taste because it was well worth the price

    My friend, who graduated from BSU with her MSW, and whose graduation we obviously attended, found…read morethis location. She was drawn to this location not only due the reviews but that they had the option of accommodating those with dietary restrictions. We were all excited to be there for the food but to also celebrate her. Booking the tables was quite an ordeal, but we managed. Unfortunately, at last minute, she learned that two members of her family that were supposed to attend, elected not to. As she did not find out until later in the day, she would not have been able to provide adequate time to contact them to let them now of the changes. I do want to share that overall, the experience was fantastic. Justin was a great server and the food and drinks were delicious. We did not get pictures of everything, but we ordered the following: Bucatini alle Vongole, Rigatoni, Blood Orange Bellini, (non-alcoholic) Limoncello Spritz, Lemon-Raspberry Tiramisu, and Pistachio Florentine Cannoli. I checked in with the others in our party, and they also indicated that the food was fantastic and the service wonderful. The concern we had was how some of our party was treated. This occurred on the evening on Friday, May 8, 2026. As mentioned, two members of her family elected not to join at the last minute. My friend and her wife relayed this to the hostess. My friend offered to try to squeeze into the booth with her other family members. The hostess then looked her and her family members up and down (with her face distorted in judgement), and said "you can try." My friend and her wife elected to sit at another table with two of her friends leaving the other table that had been reserved available (which was filled within 20 minutes by another party). This hostess then went over to the table where my friend is sitting and places her hand on the table, but I could not discern what was said. I find that type of behavior abhorrent. It is not only distasteful, but also makes patrons wonder if that is how this restaurant, this business, is run. If she is the first person you encounter, the face of this restaurant, the first impression - it does not bode well. There are some that may read this and think I am exaggerating, but I did note earlier, that the rest of our service was wonderful and the food divine. I do hope that whoever at the restaurant does monitor these reviews, really takes this feedback into consideration as I am sure that they do not want to be known as a space that shames patrons.
