Sitting on Boise’s vibrant Main Street, Avery shines agelessly in a Parisian & New York-inspired interior in a newly renovated historic building built in the early 20th century. The Avery inspires all occasions—romantic and casual alike—fueled by the culinary creations of Michelin-starred chef, Cal Elliott. Enjoy elevated classics inspired by French techniques. A warm & moody Gastro-Tavern, Tiner's Alley, is tucked in the back for cozy after-dinner cocktails and free billiards. Turn any evening extraordinary with a finely curated list of cocktails and a French-loving, diverse wine list selected by our in-house sommelier.

If you are looking to make a reservation for a party larger than eight, or don't see your desired party size and reservation time, please get in touch with the restaurant directly at 208.990.1010 for assistance. Valet service is available for $10 flat fee, per car.

This was our first time eating at The Avery. We were very impressed, particularly with the chef-level food and the superb service. Our servers were both professional and personable. The food is incredible. Highly recommend the fried artichoke salad appetizer. Uniquely tasty.

Mushroom soup was fantastic and large enough to share. The beef duo dish was spot on. Definitely will return.

Excellent table in the back that was perhaps a little quieter, for four of us. Excellent ambience. Service was attentive, but a little slow initially( very busy Saturday evening). Appetizers were excellent. My husband ordered sole meunière, but it was halibut instead. ( he was told of the substitution). It was good, but not the flavor combo he had been anticipating. Lamb ragout, gnocchi, scallops and pork belly were delicious. It was nice to have different choices Pistachio souffle and crème brûlée were both delicious. There were a good choice of wines by the glass, and my sons liked their cocktails. Downside? It was quite loud, mostly due to a full restaurant with lots of conversation ( not due to loud background music). We will definitely go back.

We just enjoyed another fabulous dining experience at The Avery! Each time we're there it feels as if we're dining in a top NYC or Parisian restaurant but without all the fussiness, pretension, and outrageous prices. We highly recommend this Boise gem!

Food was delicious, service excellent. Loved the mushroom soup, French fries, Mary’s chicken, and Lamb Ragout. Gnocchi tasted great yet we wished for a larger portion. Loved the ambience of the historic hotel. We will be back.
