My wife and I went out to the Cutthroat Club to celebrate my birthday last week, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience! While this was not the first time that we had eaten there we’d always sat in the bar, but this time we reserved a table in the dining room. Much to our surprise, while the bar was almost full, there were only a few occupied tables in the dining room, and it was very quiet and serene. What’s more, our server was extremely attentive and helpful, making suggestions and checking on ingredients for us. And when we received our main courses (I had the lamb shank and my wife had the Ahi Tuna special), we were extremely happy with the quality and quantity of our choices. Then, when it came time for desert, our server even put a candle in our order (a DELICIOUS slice of double chocolate cake) and enlisted one of her coworkers to help sing “Happy Birthday” when it was delivered to our table!! Honestly, this was one of the tastiest and best dining experiences that we’ve enjoyed in the Wood River Valley for some time, and I can’t recommend it more highly. And If it was in Ketchum, it would probably be packed every night!!!

River Six is always a nice experience! We enjoyed the chicken salad wrap, breakfast burrito and clam chowder. Jensen was a charming, attentive server and Manager Angela is the best!

Lovely dinner! Top notch service and amazing food. I had the filet mignon and it was perfectly cooked, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the mustard crusted sea bass. We also appreciated the addition of rolls and the tomato basil compound butter is amazing. Finally, a trip to the Idaho Club would not be complete without brownies and ice cream. Sooo good!!
