It seems some of the reviews mix the event center up with Red Hawk restaurant which is in the same building. Both venues are terrific. Canyon Crest Event center is a great place to have an event. The staff is a lot of fun and make sure their guest enjoy the event. The charcuterie boards are awesome! The food is delicious. I look forward to future events at Canyon Crest!

The place was cold the food was not that good thanks to our job for giving us a partly but I think it would've been better if we had our party at our work just brought food in

I went with a family member to their Christmas party, held at Canyon Crest, the service was amazing. They were very attentive and professional. They made the whole experience that much better. I also enjoy the food that was served. I had a great evening. Thank you.

Great views but the food is terrible, ordered medium rare rjb eye and had about 4 bites of a medium sirloin at best.Take your 36 bucks and launch it iinto the canyon.Service was great and that's why i gave 1 star,,

The food and service were both disgusting. When did it become ok for a waitress to have painted fingernails longer than her fingers? Gross. Must have affected her ears as well. Brought the wrong food. Told her nobody ordered that. She placed the food anyway. Never came back to table. The "lobster" had to be forcibly pulled from shell and was like rubber. Couldn't cut the steak. For $ 150 a total fail. Don't understand.

Still a disappointment. So sad.
my mother and her classmate just had their class reunion there. Basically the crowd was too big for them to have decent food served.The water and dinner rolls were good, but the salad was warm and wilted and the separate dishes of chicken and the noodles were cold.

Spectacular view. Service is extremely slow. Blueberry crepes were great!
So embarrassed to take our family here for what we thought would be a special evening. EVERYBODY who came in after us was served their dinners, and we were only a party of 4! Our waiter was clueless and asked us what we wanted for dessert even though we still had not been served our entrees after an hour! Finally 3 of 4 entrees arrived, incorrect according to what we ordered, no salad served as menu stated and who knows when the final entree would be served. Then the waiter said, oops, that last entree was served to someone else, but you're at the top of list. Really?!! Don't waste your time or money here!

The most surprisingly impressive cocktail experience I’ve had since I moved to Idaho. Exceptional service presentation and it was absolutely flawless

Great views and good food.

This was my first visit here. And the food was good, the service was AWESOME, the view is stunning. They offer a great desert menu and have a bar. I recommend the bloody Mary ?

Mother's Day Brunch May 2023. We drove in from Boise for the single worst dining experience of our entire lives. We were there a few minutes before the doors were unlocked and so we were the first people sat. It started upon entering the restaurant with breathtaking panoramic views of the canyon with the morning light reflecting from burnished wood surfaces, when the server led us though a door in the back of the restaurant into a dank, disused service hallway and into a connecting event hall with disgustingly dirty carpet, haphazardly placed tables with old used-to-be-white tablecloths thrown on top, a couple menu cards, and zero ambiance whatsoever. One of the chairs had a booger crusted on it if that counts as ambiance. We ordered drinks shortly after being seated – I say ‘ordered’ and not ‘enjoyed’ because we never received them after 30 minutes (remember, we were the first people sat so presumably there wasn’t a rush prior to our order). A good third of the pile of plates at the front of the buffet station were dirty (bits of dishwasher-dried-on food stuck to them), so after finding an acceptably clean one I wandered through a lackluster potluck of side dishes comprised mostly of mac/cheese and potato dishes that looked like they’d been shipped directly in from the hospital cafeteria leftovers. I settled on cold smashed potatoes, even colder stuffing, some mac/cheese bits (the only good part of the entire morning) and headed over to get some prime rib (the ham looked like they found it on the ‘last chance’ rack at a roadside butcher – no thank you!), and WOW was I about to be disappointed. After digging through the bundles of red napkins wrapped around dirty silverware to find something passably clean, I was trying to use my butter knife since they didn’t have anything else to saw through this RAW (not medium rare and certainly not up to 120 degrees) chunk of gristly…well I guess it could be technically called prime rib, but it was mostly silver skin and uncooked fat; it could seriously have used the au jus that wasn’t present to give the otherwise bland, undercooked, overly-fatty lump of beef some flavor. Truly, at this point it was just disrespectful to the cow. My wife decided on the breakfast side of the buffet and her experience was not any better. We’re talking previously frozen breakfast foods: luke-warm weirdly colored ‘sausage’, greasy limp bacon, cold french toast and pancakes, and boxed muffins/desserts. After a half hour waiting for our drinks in our dreary converted mess hall I journeyed back through the weird hallway into the actual restaurant (which again, is breathtakingly pretty) where I tried to flag down a server. I asked about being seated in the actual restaurant (which is where I was led to believe my reservation was originally) and I was very rudely told that it was not possible. I asked to speak to a manager to check on the status of my drinks (remember them?!) and I was told there was not a manager on staff at that time and I was welcome to wait at my table in the dungeon for our drinks. This was nowhere close to what was represented on the website. If I would have known I was driving 2 hours each way to sit in a musty, dirty-carpeted room at a table with no décor and booger-crusted chairs only to be exposed to either helpless or rude staff to try to choke down disgustingly underprepared food off of dirty dishes with nothing to wash it all down, I would have laughed! And to sell this experience for Mother’s day of all days? That’s just straight up mean. I cannot fathom what the general population of mothers has done to make this restaurant hate them so very, very much, but rest assured, the message was received loud and clear.
Love the food
