Best Vegan Restaurants in Boise

Dining on Christmas Eve was a treat. The place was full and the service was lovely. Had an early dinner reservation. Portions are a bit small for the prices, but very tasty. Decided to have a cocktail after dinner, which would have been about 6:30pm. In the French Brassiere, the bar was packed. Toured Tiner's Alley, but alas, was packed as well, however much of it was due to 3 RESERVED tables, including one for about 12 people. Didn't know a bar would encourage reservations, but there they were - all empty. Went back to the main bar, had a few people offer to move, so that me and my guest could have 2 stools together. After 5 minutes and no acknowledgement, we received glasses of water, with no greeting. After 10 minutes, the (1) bartender who was obviously overworked, never made eye contact, no greeting, and never asked for our order. Decided to leave. Perhaps someone called in sick or quit, but the manager was there enjoying a drink at the bar with guests.... Just sayin'

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Melting Pot in Boise. We were impressed with the level of service we received, in particular, the manager, Brett recognized there was a large Christmas party near us, and took the initiative to move us to a quieter location, and checked on us throughout the evening. Our server, Ashley, was equally attentive throughout the night and made our experience wonderful!

Our service was wonderful, and we could hear ourselves talk! Food, also was terrific food

The music playing was very loud. The server was friendly and attentive. This our first time eating Indian food. I wish the food was explained better.
