Gourmandie — Restaurant in Idaho

Hmmm. I have mixed feelings about this place. I would not come back though . What’s great….the food was delicious, atmosphere awesome, and seriously loved the 80s music. The service was okay. One person was very sweet and smiley. The other was not very welcoming at all, it felt like I was bothering her. The bad….i spent $21 for a flat bread and was charged $26. When I asked why, she said it’s an automatic gratuity, and then proceeded to have my sign a slip with a blank tip line. That is dodgy as heck. It’s also almost 24%! Why? I was one person, not a group. I had to order my food at the counter, get my own water and napkins, and put away my dish. Why am I spending 23+% on an automatic gratuity? $26 for one flatbread is crazy.

Makes me wonder how many people don’t even notice and then leave extra tip on top of that. I still give it 3 stars because the food and ambience is good. But I don’t think I’d come back to a place with dodgy...

This wine bar and cafe is situated in a market type setting and has a great selection of local wines (and beers) to try by the glass or the bottle. They also have a selection of wine bar type food such as meat and cheese platters and other types of finger food. For such a casual setting, this place is great. It has great prices on the local wine selection; however, with its market vibes, it’s like your shopping for the wine at retail, and happening to enjoy it in the store cafe. Chances are, you’ll be greeted by the sommelier, who is quite the character providing in-house...

This is the choice for apres ski eating for the ladies I ski with on a weekly basis. Comfy sitting area with good windows for people watching. Always have interesting beers and good wine choices. 3 of us are vegetarians and we always have a couple of interesting choices. AND …. When we had a birthday on a ski day and I asked if they could make a small lemon cake … they not only did but it was beautiful and a delicious, dense moist cake with a rich buttercream frosting. Oh my, Complete yumminess!!!! Well done. 👏applause...
