I am not sure if I need to do a "re-review" but Brick 29 is so good that I feel like I need to. In…read moreour regular little town of Nampa, there is a premium level restaurant called Brick 29. It is one of those places where you wonder why you don't go there more often. From our amazing appetizer to the delicious cocktails to the top level dinners (fish for her and filet mignon for me). On top of that the staff is always friendly and a joy to interact with. And don't get me started about the selfie perfect view since the restaurant is on the top floor of a downtown building. Do not miss out on this restaurant that is at the level of the best restaurants in Boise or anywhere in the Treasure Valley.

The best part were the chips, not sure if they were a purple sweet potato or a beet chips but they were to die for. Well done.

It was a fun day to be there on July 2 when they were spraying screaming children in the Plaza with a fire hose, yes, hot that day!

We were in town for a few nights and stopped in for a nightcap on multiple nights. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly, but Josiah stood out. We had great conversations with him while he crafted some delicious drinks. The bar offers a full selection along with a solid cocktail menu. Whether you're staying at the Holiday Inn or just nearby and looking for a spot to grab a drink, Burger Theory is definitely worth checking out.

There is a full bar, with half a dozen or so beers on tap. Surprisingly, only one other group was there at the time. Of course, In-n-Out opened right next door. I hope it doesn't hurt business too much. The squeeze and I shared the Ultimate Sriracha Burger. It has Swiss cheese, bacon, grilled onion, lettuce, tomato Sriracha Glaze and Sriracha mayo. Served on a potato bun or lettuce wrap with choice of side. Very good flavors but not real spicy. The meat didn't seem like it was seasoned before cooking, but it still had good flavor. The bun was very good and the onion rings were excellent. The service was great, but again, hardly anyone there. They have happy hour every day from 4-7 and also have dinner specials.

Before the Restaurant Impossible episode featuring the formerly named Island Kine Grinds aired in…read moreJanuary, ownership had quietly changed hands since the show was filmed the previous May. Renus and Ludi Domingo, whose struggles were showcased by Robert Irvine, sold out to a mysterious entity Sport Island Llc, which has no listed online history, only a drop box address in Sheridan, Wyoming, according to a filing with the Idaho Secretary of State's Office. We ordered the lumpia appetizer while deciding on entrees. Lumpia is a Filipino specialty but fit the former owners' concept; they were natives of Hawaii but pegged their restaurant as serving Hawaiian and Asian fare. Strangely, though, the lumpia used beef as the meat, when typically pork is featured. They tasted good, but they were greasier than any I've eaten before. I ordered an adobo plate lunch with rice and mac salad, Hawaiian standard side dishes. The adobo was tasty and came with a flavorful sauce. The mac salad was bland, a definite downturn from what the previous owners provided. Kristy ordered kalua pig, a Hawaiian specialty. Instead, they brought her pork katsu. She chose to eat it, as we had already waited more than 20 minutes for the dishes to arrive. The pork was dry and the rice provided on her plate was seriously undercooked. Where mine was tender, hers was crunchy. Despite only one other table in the restaurant filled on an early Saturday evening, neither of the servers checked back with us. We were almost ready to leave before one came to ask if we wanted a refill of our soda pops. Maybe it explained why Kristy got the wrong dish when the server came with our bill and asked what I had ordered. I thought she wrote it down when we ordered. Maybe not. All in all, it wasn't a bad experience, but one we're not likely to drive from Boise to try again. We were interested in seeing how having the Restaurant Impossible experience had improved the restaurant for the Domingos. But with them no longer running Aloha Island Grille, we lost our enthusiasm.

It was not busy, and with only one person in front of us it took over 20 minutes to get our ice cream. Not sure what the difficulties are, but it seems like the drive thru orders were being processed before any orders placed at the counter.

Irma introduced me to her niece Elizabeth, who was my server and bartender. Elizabeth recommended the fajita bowl, and OMG--¡muy delicioso! I ordered it with half chicken and half beef, and all I can say is WOW! I also enjoyed a delicious Cadillac margarita, which was the perfect complement to my meal.
