We had a very nice relaxing breakfast. My wife and I tend to split our meals and it was nice of the chief to do this even with our cinnamon bun.

Food:

Just had the Easter Brunch (4/5/15). For $36 per person, the food was bad and the service was HORRIBLE!
The waitress didn't care, she was going to get her 20% any way (the bill said 20% ($35) for a large table). We had 4 adults, 1 six years old, and 1 seven months. They also tried charging the seven months a kid price ($15).
Save your money and stay away! There are way better restaurants across the street.

Food:

We reserved seats for Easter Brunch at Emilios. But when we arrived, the hostess didn't seat us IN Emilios," she led us straight to a small, dim, unstaffed, barroom across the hotel lobby/foyer from Emilio's. To get to the buffet tables, we'd have to cross the entire lobby (and back) from our assigned pub table in the bar ( with no tablecloth, no water glasses or other amenities, and too small to hold 2 buffet plates and a bread basket).

We opted NOT to stay and see if that "bar seating" would eventually include paper napkins and a glass of water (probably not, since it's a bar appeared closed on Sunday mornings). Atmosphere IS part of what you're paying for with a pricey Easter brunch ($40/head before tips), and if you cannot be seated in the restaurant, why pay the same price as the people who DO get the white tablecloths, ice sculpture, and refills on their Mimosas? Don't bother unless you know the chef or the hostess by first name.

Made a dinner reservation for my husband's birthday and was so glad we decided to try this place. You can pull right up to the restaurant/hotel lobby door & get free valet parking. There was live music [piano] playing as we came in, which really added to the enjoyment of the evening. We gave a small tip & got a couple of requests played with a flourish! Our server was a very attentive, friendly fellow that was helpful & upbeat, & even took our picture. The lights were muted, which was relaxing & our booth was comfy & private. My husband had the New York steak with a green salad; I had the portebello/black bean ravioli & spinach/strawberry salad. Salads were served almost immediately and dinner arrived in a reasonable time. Everything was excellent & we enjoyed it down to the last bite. [Actually, I brought some home.] For birthdays, Emilio's does a complimentary dessert for you & we got the chocolate ganache - large & yum! Overall, one of the nicest dinners we've had in a long time, and the best in Boise so far, imo.
