Mortimer's

The two-dollar-symbol (out of a possible four) rating by an internet reservation service seems a little confusing in retrospect. Still, the meal that we just enjoyed was top notch; Mortimer's earned every penny. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable -- they answered every question and volunteered a few thoughtful pointers without a hint of arrogance. The atmosphere was subtle and sophisticated, with a soundtrack that was sleek, not stodgy. Courses were expertly timed -- attentive visits earlier, with pace slowing towards the end so we could comfortably linger over coffee and port alone. Admittedly, money could have been saved by passing on the extravagance of the tasting menu, plus wine, plus coffee & port. Even if you turn your meal at Mortimer's into a special occasion like we did, believe that you'll walk away very, very happy. Pros: The tasting menu's mix of complementary flavors were expertly delivered in perfect portions. Cons: If Mortimer's had a view of something notable/romantic, it would be pretty close to perfect. more

I travel to Boise on business every other week or so. The hotel I stay at suggested Mortimer's. I dine there at least twice a month. I find the sevice, food and wine list to be the best around. I like it so much my wife accompanied me on business two months ago so we could celebrate our anniversary at Mortimer's. Highly suggested. Pros: Great Wine List Cons: No Mortimer's in Seattle more

Elitist environment with nothing to be proud of. Huge attitude. Mediocre food. Hands down the most disappointing meal I have ever suffered through. Pros: The food is better than McDonalds. Cons: The unfounded reputation is disgusting. more
