    The food at The Avery is always delicious although a little pricey. The larger problem is the service. It's sadly some of the slowest service so be prepared for long waits on drinks in particular and sometimes your food. We had our whole meal comped after waiting an hour for our food. My dish came out but sat getting cold for 20" before my son and husband got theirs. There was no conversation from our server or anyone until I asked the manager I happened to see walking by. We gave them another try last night, we really appreciated them comping our meal after such bad service. The service was better last night, our food came fairly quickly but the extra touch just isn't there. Our drinks sat empty for quite awhile, we had to flag a waiter down to order more. Once we did order more, 2 came fairly quickly while the 3rd person didn't get their drink until after he had finished his dinner. We were also given dessert menus but then never checked back in with to see if we wanted dessert. The food and ambience are great, hopefully The Avery can get their service dialed in.

    We went for brunch and the food was good but nothing special. The atmosphere is really nice though.

    Exceptional in every way. Our CEO hosted a dinner at the Chef’s Table and it was the perfect place to entertain a small group. Highly recommended!

    The Avery was an exceptional experience for my husband and I. We were promptly greeted by super friendly staff and shown a table right away. The staff was prompt, professional and a true pleasure to talk with about their recommendations for food and drinks. Born and raised in Boise, The Avery was a breath of fresh air. I'd recommend this restaurant for anyone celebrating an intimate occasion or simply wanting a relaxing night out. The entrees and appetizers were not your typical selection from the Boise "norm".

    I always get the French omelette! I’m never disappointed. Super fluffy, great sides, and excellent service.

    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.
