Red Feather Lounge - Boise

I had a great time at this intimate restaurant with a fun atmosphere. The wine selection was excellent and the food was delicious!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant. I requested a quiet table and the host made sure to seat me at the quietest table available. He was very helpful throughout my meal. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. However, after two hours, I realized I had left my cell phone behind. The same host who seated me remembered me and help me search for my phone. After calling my number, we heard the muffled ring and he was able to locate my phone under the bench seat. I am extremely grateful for his quick thinking and assistance.

I was seated upstairs at a four-person table that was too small for us. I was squeezed into the corner seat against the wall, which was very cramped. It took at least 30 minutes for our drinks to come out, and one of them was just a beer. Our food arrived right after the drinks, but one person had to wait a long time to get a knife to eat with. Unfortunately, the two orders of duck we had were not good. They were cold and not cooked properly, making the meat tough and the skin thick and rubbery. The sauce was also cold, and the plate was missing cranberry agrodolce. We ordered a second round of drinks but decided to cancel them and leave after waiting for a while. I used to enjoy this restaurant, but I probably won't be returning.

Hayden took good care of us and gave us plenty of time to relax with drinks. His wine recommendations for the food were good. They were hammered on a Friday night mid TreeFort festival. The space is dark, narrow and crowded with very small tables. We had fried cauliflower doused in sweet chilies sauce spicy but good. Duck breast with butternut purée and Brussels sprouts was good. The streak frites ok, frites sat under the heat lamp, too long. IF you need the 8th street location this is a nice change from some of the larger/noisier places in the block.

We made reservations for Valentine’s Day and when we arrived they sat us by the door on a very small table (which is now on the patio in an enclosure). We asked for a different table but could not be accommodated. The server was amazing (wish I had noted her name) but the bar service was TERRIBLE. We got our initial drinks AFTER our dinner was served. Tried to order a 2nd and had to cancel because we were done and ready for the check still waiting on the 2nd drink. Had it not been Valentine’s we would have walked out. Very disappointed.
