Regional dishes with international flair |
110 South Fifth Street Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 338 6550 |
The bad news is that longtime dining tradition The Renaissance is gone. The good news is that an equally elegant and delicious restaurant has taken over its stone-walled space in the basement of the historic Belgravia Building. Offering white linen service amidst a romantic setting, the restaurant features a menu that changes often. Rainbow Trout Roulade and Mortimer's Famous Lamb Shank are an example of the delicious entrees. The desserts, such as Saffron Poached Pear and Dark Chocolate Timbale, should not be missed. Idaho wines are also prominently featured. Review © 2007, Wcities |
