Portneuf Grille Lounge

Got to say I was a bit disappointed. I ordered a ribeye and requested it medium rare. Unfortunate it came out well done. If it wasn't for how long it took to come out, I might have sent it back. On the other hand, other food came out just fine. My sonloved his seafood chowder and two other people in our party had the Salmon. Both entrees came out well. An order for Macaroni,which is on the unpublished kids menu along with chicken strips, was not mixed and came out with chunks of powder. My daughtertold me it was some of the worst Macaroni she has had. For a fine dining restraunt I had expected better of the food. It wasoverall an experience in between good and bad.

Wow! We stayed the night at the riverside. This was our decision for dinner. We arrived later and were able to settle into a table outside. The creek is nice but kids go down on tubes so you get to hear their joy. The drinks were okay. We ordered aFrench onion soup as appetizer. My wife ordered the salmon and I got the clam chowder. The soup was a perfect appetizer andover the top on flavor. It was primo. I had a clam chowder in California by the shore and it was not nearly as good as thePortneuf clam chowder. Their clam chowder was simply divine. My wife said her salmon was amazing. I wouldn't know as I didnot get any and she enjoyed every bite. They are pricey but the cook has to be a pro. The cook even came out and talked to us. She also gave us a piece of cake on the house because we were on our honeymoon. This was a culinary delight on our honeymoontrip.

Terrible experience. all employees were completely french, flogged and with only a few tables unorganized to wait for it. the place was divided, dirty and had outdated decoration. the food was distinguished for the price. we couldn't wait to finish our drink, spread greasy salmon and out. there are much better places to eat in the city, but when they go to reserve. even for bare seating!. they are insanely reserved. and only for some good weeping and decent desserts go and sit outside (the excellent terrace overlooking the river). but they can find the largest part of the same weine for cheaper in others operated in the city.

Hard to believe the best culinary experience in Idaho is in the basement of a haunted hotel in Lava Hot Springs! Spring salmon and asparagus in a delightful buttery sauce, tastefully herbed, cooked to perfection. Wise pairing suggestions or exquisite, original non-alcoholic options compliment a concise yet excellent menu. Even if you don't catch a glimpse of the ghosts wandering the halls, the dining selections are hauntingly delicious. Taste the spectral magic of Portneuf Grille's new chef. Meeting her in the lobby after the meal was a classy touch. The service was also instrumental in evoking the spirits; polite, prompt, and attentive. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. We even enjoyed a sliver of river view from our seats through the wall-to-wall windows at the back of the dining room. The only regret we have in posting this rating is the difficulty in getting a reservation once the word gets out. And the restaurant is open to all, not just the hotel guests. Get a reservation while you can!
