Sitting on Boise’s vibrant Main Street, Avery shines agelessly in a Parisian & New York-inspired interior in a newly renovated historic building built in the early 20th century. The Avery inspires all occasions—romantic and casual alike—fueled by the culinary creations of Michelin-starred chef, Cal Elliott. Enjoy elevated classics inspired by French techniques. A warm & moody Gastro-Tavern, Tiner's Alley, is tucked in the back for cozy after-dinner cocktails and free billiards. Turn any evening extraordinary with a finely curated list of cocktails and a French-loving, diverse wine list selected by our in-house sommelier.

If you are looking to make a reservation for a party larger than eight, or don't see your desired party size and reservation time, please get in touch with the restaurant directly at 208.990.1010 for assistance. Valet service is available for $10 flat fee, per car.

The food was very well done, however the seating was poorly thought out and we felt as if we were intruding on other people's dinner. The tables were not strategically placed to ensure any amount of privacy. As much as we enjoyed the menu food and wine we will not be back because the seating needs a lot of work.

Wonderful chef. If only Boise could clone this chef!! Artichoke appetizer - so tasty, same for sole and lamb ragu. Wish they served (homemade) focaccia, like Alavita. On-the-mark cocktails. Dessert soufflé was superb.
