What a great place to hang out on a summery day! Part of the Riverside Hotel and right next to the Boise Greenbelt, the place has a fun atmosphere with live music, good food and service.

One of our regular stops for greenbelt bike rides. Great for people watching. They often have a local band going on the weekend. Kitchen can get overwhelmed when it's busy so plan accordingly.

The food and service were just ok. Fries had obviously been sitting out for awhile and the bread from my grilled cheese sandwich was soggy on the bottom. When the waitress asked if my husband wanted to take home the best fries ever, he told her they actually weren’t very good at all, and she was unapologetic. The music, however, was great.

I normally LOVE this restaurant. Not this time. I've never taken my kids. Only 3 options on the menu. My son got a kids burger after his chemo appointment. It's a completely burnt piece of meat the size of a smooched meatball on an adult burger bun. He couldn't chew through it. Wouldn't eat it. The waiter had been busy. We were chill. Had ordered a soda and a beer from another waitress who was helping him out. The manager had come to our table while she was walking around. I only ordered fries bc I was insured my burger would come out rare. I wanted to see my kids first. I talked to the manager about the burger and then gave my fresh basket of fries to the waiter and told h to share them with the staff since they had just come out and we weren't going to eat his burger. We were charged full price for everything. The manager literally never even told the waiter the issue. We will never go back for kids meals or burgers. It's a spot I frequent actually, but have never swayed from the few things I know I like. Disappointed today.

We had a great lunch here of fried steak fingers and French fries, and a nice spicy margarita. We sat by the river and watched all the bikers and runners go by on the trail. It does close in October I think so plan accordingly. Uber had no issue getting us here but for some reason we couldn't get Uber to find us to leave.

For the music, definitely 5 stars. I come to see Soul Patch here and the acoustics are pretty great! The food is hit and miss... sometimes it's hot, fresh and tasty! Other times... so so. They even run out of things occasionally. They should know better as this place is busy all. the.time. I'll be back as I love to see live music!

Where do I even begin... We ordered wings as an appetizer and they came out after our food did. No problem, they brought them out once we brought it up, but then they were cold in the middle. Also there were flies everywhere! They had good drinks but thats about it. Food was meodicre, and the reviews were very misleading.

Not very good. Labeled as a vegetarian friendly restaurant. My wife and I split the Beyond burger and chips and salsa. Not a vast menu for non-meat eaters. The burger was $18 and incredibly bland and boring. Chips were meh at best. The scene was somewhat bizarre. It was like a Jimmy buffet place with loud music, people walking around in swimwear and getting smashed by the pool. The best part was it was on the river and near the green belt which was cool to see so many people being active. Wouldn't recommend.

Great menu, gf friendly, and quality is good. Good service from waitress. We were a little bothered by all the flies. Wish they had those little spin things on the table to shew away the flies.

First, this place was difficult to find. It was on the back side of the Riverside Hotel. No directions to tell you where to go. I had to go into the hotel (front desk) to ask for directions. It is all the way in the back by Ling and Louie's restaurant - fyi. The restaurant/patio is alongside the river but also next to the pool of the Riverside hotel, where one could not help but see all the Riverside hotel guests. As it is a part of the property people walked around barefoot and in swim wear, which is ok but just a bit strange if you are not a guest. The live music is nice! The sandbar burger was delicious, however, the fries were awful. The person waiting on us had no interest in waiting on us, she was very short and cold. I asked for my burger not to be split because the "share" option was additional $2.50, but she did it anyways. I didn't say anything, paid my bill with a 20% tip. Will never come back!Parking: free parking if you can find a spot between the guests and locals using the greenbelt

There are way to many flies and the food is not bad but not good it took them about an hour to get our food and it wasn't the best experience and the ice cream was so chunky.
