A little expensive to go consistently but if you’re looking for a “treat yo self night” this is a pretty good option.

If you're a local and haven't been, you're missing out and I feel sorry for you. My husband and I had a fantastic experience atEpi's a couple weeks ago. It had been some time since last visiting here and I was looking forward to returning, with highexpectations that were greatly surpassed. We began our dinner with a serving of excellent Ham Croquetas (thickened bechamelwith jamon serrano, crumbled and fried golden, $16.00 . I probably could have eaten two more plates of these and called it good.We loved them! They were perfectly crunchy and the filling was so creamy. There wasn't too much ham but just enough you stillnoticed it. You HAVE to get these. Entrees are served with soup, salad, bread and two pre-selected side dishes. Both soups weregreat! My husband selected a Red Bean (I think? tomato based soup and I the clam chowder. So much goodies in both, especiallyin the chowder. The salads were a little sad looking, a few leaves and shredded carrots that I could have done without. At leastit was fresh! I ate mine without dressing so at most it was a palate cleanser for me. I chose a lighter fare of Slow RoastedLeg of Lamb (hand carved boneless leg of lamb served with a burgundy sauce, $27.00, $34.00 for a regular portion with a side ofwild rice. It was nothing like I had ever had before. The lamb was tender like butter and the sauce exquisite. The rice was agreat side and it paired well with the sauce, too. As much as I liked my dish, the winner of the evening was my husband's, theHalibut Filet (hand cut halibut, citrus crusted, topped with lobster cream sauce, $41.00 . Holy cannoli, whatever was in thecream sauce was ADDICTING. I kept swiping bites from my husband's plate when I could. The halibut itself was excellent a hundredtimes over. It was some of the best food I'd eat in Boise in a long, long time.

This is a small restaurant in what used to be a home, so seating is very limited. We lucked out and got thefront porch area to enjoy our dinner. Everything we had was absolutely delicious, including the various desserts we tried. Thebread pudding was incredible! Service was extraordinary and our waitress was filled with information about the Basque culture aswell as menu. Food was plentiful including bread and butter, salad, appetizer, and entree.
