The meal was good. Portions were fair, but enough food. The clams & halibut dishes were served to perfection. One bummer was the pork dish arrived undercooked, so our guest had to wait for them to cook hers a little longer. When it finally made its way back, the two with the clam dishes were almost finished. (Our friend with the pork dish told everyone to please eat while the food was hot. I waited, but was still satisfied with my halibut.) Wonderful, relaxing atmosphere. Our waitress was pleasant, but spaced on the creature comforts of water refills (especially to our D.D, who went the full meal without a refill. That was a minor inconvenience, though, because water is probably more of a courtesy.) She did help pair my dinner with a terrific red wine from Walla Walla, WA. Overall, we enjoyed our guests’ company (they were from out of town) and meals. We were also celebrating my hubby’s birthday so Erica brought him a sweet treat to top his meal off.

Our Server Matt was very knowledgeable and helpful. The tomato soup and grilled Caesar salad was incredible. My halibut was delicious. I only rate the food 4 star because my boyfriend’s ribeye was less than expected for the price and my father’s scallops were fairly small.

What a delicious brunch! We had eggs Benedict and the breakfast sandwich was absolutely amazing and filling! I love all the add-ons you can get with the bloody Mary! We will definitely be back again!

When I go out to spend this type of money on my food I expect the quality to be very good. I wanted to try a restaurant I hadn’t been to yet, I checked reviews and decided to try Richard’s. This was my first and last time. The Positives were: The service was comfortable, atmosphere was pleasant. The cocktail I got was well balanced. The Negatives: The food, unfortunately, was way below our expectations.

One of the top 10 best meals of my life. The restaurant decor and ambiance was sophisticated and gorgeous. The staff were attentive and friendly. Our server, Giovanni, was especially helpful with menu suggestions. It was difficult to choose items from the menu because I literally would have eaten any item on the menu. The food was beautifully presented, cooked perfectly and really delicious. I highly recommend and will be returning.

We’re visiting Boise from SoCal. We met some locals at a bar and they suggested Richards for brunch. The bartender chimed and said good things too so we gave it a shot. It did not disappoint. It had a lot of the same things as a traditional weekend breakfast joint – a decent amount of options, good drinks, good service – without the +30 minute wait for a table.

My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here. The food and service did not disappoint! I would have loved a better table, perhaps with a better view. They placed us in a booth in the corner, which I assume was for a more intimate vibe. But it was a little awkward with the table legs from the pedestal under the table on that tiny platform; you have no place to put your feet…like it was meant for a built-in table, not a cafe table.

I had a great experience for my moms birthday. The staff were very friendly and the server was very attentive to our needs but didn’t bug us either. We ordered the whipped feta appetizer and the presentation was great. It tasted very good. I ordered the papardelle pasta and it was really not my favorite. The walnuts did not fit in the dish and the sauce tasted off. I would never order that again. However, the food did come hot and the squash that was in the dish was good. The sauce ruined the whole dish. My mom got the cheese ravioli with the pesto cream sauce and that was so delicious I wish I had gotten that. I will be coming back. Hopefully Richards sees this and changes the sauce on that dish.

Just had lunch here. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich which was average at best. Very heavy breading. Side salad with the house dressing was very good. Service was pretentious bordering on rude. Atmosphere was very stuffy and rigid. I do not recommend this place.
