A busy Friday dinner; we were seated and served promptly and with good cheer. Our patio table has a most impressive view of Snake River Valley and bridge into Twin Falls. We started with coconut shrimp served hot and crunchy with a sweet sauce. Caesar salad was tastefully under dressed with homemade croutons. Our entree was a resounding flavorful mushroom and beef trimmings bow tie pasta. Dessert, a well prepared crisp a la mode. Splittable ample portions and well priced.

What a memorable evening having dinner with that view!!! It is so beautiful it almost doesn’t feel real. We are from out of town and this place was highly recommended to us. I didn’t pay attention when I was making reservations that you can request the outside tables. That’s where you want to sit!! The hostess was so kind to still give us an outside table. Our server, Amy, was so nice, provided excellent service and so helpful in picking drinks and food! Her recommendations were spot on. I ordered the ribeye with a fully loaded baked potato. It was cooked perfectly and came hot and juicy. The potato was perfect too. My husband ordered the “Falls Brand” grilled pork chop. It was out of this world!! It was the best pork chop he has ever had! Between the view and food it doesn’t get better than this!!!

The staff was very experienced about food allergies. They were able to accommodate all of the allergies I had with no issues. The prices of it were pretty normal and the portions were big. I think that if the dinners came with two sides it would be a lot more filling but to add an extra side for 3:50 isn't that bad. I really like that when I ordered the trout I actually got a whole filet that was filling and not just for ounces of fish. They only do take out if the kitchen isnt super busy.

Service could use improvement. While exhibiting the local museums. BOLD California gallery admin suggested dine in at elevation. Called ahead of time reception was detailed, splendid. Until I was seated. Felt ignored, by my server. Forgot to bring complimentary bread basket with the famous huckleberry butter(So delicious). Nevertheless, felt rushed. However that was all, the atmosphere and food was incredible. Will recommend. The anniversary surprise was enjoyable. Local smoked trout. Tuna Shashimi.

The view is certainly the highlight of the place, food and service were good. Certainly recommend making reservations, specially for the weekend. was quick to get seated and order food. Kids mac and cheese was underwhelming. Bread rolls with huckleberry butter was delicious. they allowed to split the entree and salad. Very delicious and fresh.

16 Nov 2025 Visiting Twin Falls, ID? Elevation 486 is a must for dinner. In my opinion a solid 5 star experience. Starting with the location... They are located on a canyon rim. Has westerly views so that ID sunset pic is there for the taking. The atmosphere is very laid back, no rush to get you out. Great food is only part of determining a star rating.... for me it's always about the people. Elevate Staff is very nice, FRIENDLY and helpful. Shout out to Stephanie, our server. The food was excellent. Cocktails were superb too. Naturally it is an ID oriented. Checkout the huckelberry butter. Rolls were warm. Glueten free available for the asking. It was a perfect evening for us. See pics included... BTW for those interested in where the name came from .... see the last pic in this grouping. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. Please enjoy! Pricing is very reasonable if you want to spend more... options are available.

Went there for a business ess di. Er with a coworker and customer at the local custo.ers recommendation. It d8d not disappoint!! Great little bar area that was easy to chat with my group. Our server (I think her name was Cory?) Was great. On top of the refill situation and checking in our our food. I ordered the Quail, and it was pretty tastey. First time having it.. so wasn't sure what to expect. But overall.. not a horrible choice! The views outside overlooking the canyon were pretty awesome. It was a great night to sit on the patio and have a few drinks with new friends and old!

We came here for the first time for our one year anniversary, and it was fantastic! The service was amazing and the food was delicious! Since we were celebrating, we got the prime rib and rack of lamb, so it was between $40-50 per entree, but I was pleasantly surprised that they had really affordable options as well! Our server, Martha, was amazing and made sure that everything was perfect for us! We will definitely be coming back again!!!

We came here at almost closing time and they still let us dine and I appreciated that it was still 1 hr or so before closing time. We asked to be seated near the bar area cause wanted to watch the Dodger game and they were so kind to put the game on for us. Blanca was our waiter and she was so sweet and patient with us as it was our first time dining here. We ordered a local beer and a huckleberry lemonade that was so yummy! We got their Jambalaya plate & the Pork chops and both were delicious! We had heard their food was all tasty and it didn't disappoint. The Jambalaya had great flavor and had a small kick to it and the Pork chop & baked potato were just so flavorful and well cooked. We also got served some warm bread with a huckleberry butter and that had me licking my fingers in how good it was. My point is the food was good! We came late at night & we're not able to catch the fun views but I've heard they are great and w plan to come back for sure and enjoy that. Overall the place was great, we were the last to leave but weren't rushed in any way like other places usually do. We'll be back very soon while we are here on vacation.

On our road trip back home from Las Vegas to Seattle, we decided to spend a night in Twin Falls and have lunch before continuing the drive. We couldn't be happier with our choice of this restaurant! We arrived around 11 AM as a party of four, ready for a relaxing meal -- and what a treat it was. The setting alone is worth the visit: overlooking the breathtaking historic bridge and the canyon, the view instantly lifts your mood and makes everything taste a little better. We enjoyed a few glasses of wine while soaking in the scenery, and it was simply perfect. The food was fresh and satisfying -- nothing overly fancy, but definitely well-prepared and delicious for a midday meal. Each of us ordered something different, and every dish hit the spot. The true highlight, though, was the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and carried a genuine smile every time she came to the table. After a long drive, her positive energy and professionalism really made us feel welcome and cared for. Overall, this little gem tucked inside a business complex completely won us over. Between the great view, good food, and warm service, it's the perfect place to stop and recharge. I would absolutely come back again if I'm ever passing through Twin Falls -- it's a spot that turns a simple lunch into a memorable travel moment.

We had reservations at 7 pm but didn't specify we wanted to sit outside but the hostess was able to get us a table by the window. I wasn't mad about it, it was getting dark and I noticed there are a bit more flies in Idaho than in other places I've been. Very cozy restaurant. Our server (his name slips my mind) was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the flat iron steak with a baked potato. Baked potato was average but.. it's a baked potato. ‍the steak was delicious and cooked perfectly. My partner ordered the salmon which was very tasty. The garlic mashed potatoes were great. We also had the salmon dip for a starter and it was very good. We would definitely come back if in Twin Falls. Great food, service, and ambiance

I made a dinner reservation at Elevation 468 for a Friday evening, given the restaurant's picturesque views. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see much after sunset but we were still looking forward to an upscale dinner. After checking in, we were seated and waited a while for a server to greet us. I wasn't sure if there were staffing issues, but we felt a little forgotten near the bar area. For dinner, we ordered the Potato Skins to start and Ruby Red Trout and Ribeye for dinner with the loaded Idaho potatoes on the side. The Potato Skins were decent, but it seemed like less than memorable bar fare. Our entrees came out, and I was impressed with the portion sizes. I was expecting half of the giant slab of trout, and it was overall really tasty with a few bones to pick through. My partner wasn't so impressed with the Ribeye, but we both loved the loaded potatoes! Nothing worth coming back for unless you have a view with your meal.

We called day-of and were able to get reservations. We asked for outdoor seating and they found a table for two for us on the patio. It was a 90 degree day but the patio is shaded and provided stunning views of the snake river canyon. It was an absolutely perfect night to eat outside. I chose the ribeye with veggies (asparagus) and Husband had the filet with mashed potatoes. Our meals were cooked perfectly to our liking and were tasty and delicious. We started with the shrimp cocktail which was on the specials menu. It came with cocktail sauce that was mixed with mango and lime. It was so good. A great summer twist on a shrimp cocktail. Service was excellent. They even have little slow moving fans to keep on the table to shoo any pesky flies that also want to enjoy your meal (hey, you are eating outside). Loved this place!!

Great views of the canyon and very good service. Unfortunately the food fell short. Started with the potato skins, which were not bad, but they were definitely overcooked and skins very/overly crispy. My wife loves Ruben's. Unfortunately, the Pastrami Reuben's pastrami looked weird (looked old and dry) and was overcooked; it didn't taste good. She ate less than half. The Monterey Chicken Sandwich would have probably been good but the chicken got burned on one side and so the sandwich tasted burnt which ruined it. Our server asked if the food was ok twice to her credit. We should've told her, but we were in a hurry and just let it go. I did not have time for them to remake both lunches. Maybe their normal cook was not working at lunch. Oh well.

What a unique spot! We stopped here to eat and stretch our legs while on a road trip. Our server Michaela was so sweet and helpful. She made great recommendations and even directed us to a nearby trail where we could go for a little walk before getting back in the car. There was a spot on the trail with a view of the bridge and a waterfall! Gorgeous! Back to the review of the restaurant as a whole: when we walked up there wasn't anyone in line but the hostess said there was a 25m wait to sit outside. We opted to sit inside since we were short on time but I'd say it's worth the wait if you're able. I think sitting in the bar is also a cuter option than the dining area if you're into that. We ordered the southwest salad and the Thai beef salad. Both were delicious. When we left there was a long line, so I think our timing worked out well. Hostess could've been a little friendlier but other than that we had a great experience because of our server. Would definitely try again.

Hard to ask for more than friendly service, excellent food, great drinks and an epic patio view. Elevation 486 had it all. Fortunately in easy walking distance from the Fairfield Inn we were staying at on a motorcycle trip--so a cocktail was in order. The old fashioned was well crafted and came in a unique glass. Enjoyed two of them! Food was equally enjoyable. I had the ravioli and a salad. Friend had the pork chop. We both were happy with our choices. Good weather allowed us to sit outside on the patio which is highly recommended if possible. The view of the Snake River canyon area was stunning. I will always eat here any time I find myself in Twin Falls.

I cannot say enough about the view! The service was great and the food was tasty. We stumbled on this amazing restaurant on our drive from CO to OR. Before we left the restaurant, we already planned to have dinner there again on our drive home. A must-do experience!

We had a great experience. I have anaphylaxis to dairy, so finding milk free meals that taste remotely good is difficult. The service is amazing. I was looking at the Thai beef salad. The sauce was dairy free, and the chefs did the steak at a request without butter. I feel sometimes as a burden when requesting what ingredients are in things. The waitress and chefs were very accommodating. The inside is great it overlooks the valley below the perrine bridge. The food was excellent. My wife got the beer battered fish and chips. We will be back.

Our server (outside bar area) was fantastic. We enjoyed the trout, pork chop and cheeseburger. All were exceptional, especially the pork chop. Great River views. It's off the beaten path which made parking easy.

Amazing view of the Snake river. 486 feet above the Snake river. We sat outdoors and took it all in. The service was excellent and fast. There were four of us all ordered different items. They all were excellent.

Our food was okay. I had the Ruben and green bean fries, I wouldn't call it the worst Ruben I've had, but it was just mediocre. 2/5 He had the French dip with onion rings. French dip was better 3/5. We came for the view, that made this stop over worth it. Service was good.

The service here was great! The view is already spectacular and the staff are great. I got a seasonal chicken salad and this came with a jam dressing and a variety of veggies. This was SUPER fresh and the chicken was moist. I loved the huckleberry dressing. It paired perfectly well with the salad! Loved the ambiance of the place and I enjoyed the lunch options as they offer a great variety of choices. I could not be more pleased. Just wonderful!! The salad was filling, yet very light. Perfect!

My sister & I came in here 2x. First time was during happy hour. We missed lunch hour. 2p-5pm is happy hour menu only. We made a reservation for dinner the next day I had the prime rib & it was delicious. Cooked just right & melts in your mouth. My sister had the ribeye steak & she loved it. Josh was our server both times & he was great. Very friendly & pleasant server. He also helped me with their wine selection. He suggested the Pinot Noir with my meal. He also poured me a taster of their local white wine. The view at the patio is overlooking the river which is beautiful but unfortunately it was too windy for us to sit outside.

The setting was truly beautiful, and the food was good. However, we were disappointed with the service from server Blanca. Our server added split charges to the bill--even though we never requested to split anything. We each ordered our own salad and she only split one of the salads and charged us and then we ordered an entrée, we never asked her to split it yet we were charged as if we had split both an appetizer and an entrée, which we never asked for and she never communicated to us that she did that to up charge us. Additionally, we presented a 10% voucher from our hotel as Emmy told us the place is Great, and the server seemed noticeably reluctant. Overall, it felt like the goal may have been to increase the total in hopes of a higher tip, which is not an appropriate approach. Blanca kept saying it's a seasonal place and maybe that's why she up charges everybody. We wanted to share this feedback so others can be aware. We just hope that she doesn't do this to other guests. The experience had great potential, but the billing left a sour note.

Amazing food, service, view! The pork chop was the best I've ever had and I consider myself a pork chop enthusiast! Lol! Seasoned and grilled perfectly. So juicy! Hubby had the Ribeye with mushroom reduction sauce. He said it was amazing! Ended dinner with the brownie sundae. I'm not a huge chocolate fan but it was just the right amount of chocolate. Not too strong and the vanilla ice cream and whipped cream made it thoroughly enjoyable! Yelp was 3/3 so far on this trip!

Gorgeous location - sit outside and enjoy the canyon vista! My server was excellent and the food incredible. I had Idaho trout and a baked potato - pretty perfect for my first trip to the state. I sipped a bit of an Idaho viognier wine which was also nice. I'd highly recommend.

Come for the view but stay for the food!! Had a great huckleberry chicken salad and huckleberry lemonade (seeing a trend?), and both were delicious!! Enjoyed the perfect mixture of all the features of the salad and loved having fresh huckleberry in my lemonade. These little additions made all the difference in flavor. Had great service from Alicia and would recommend anyone in the area to stop in. #thanksunclejoe

Went to visit Shoshone Falls and heard this place was good, so we gave it a try. It is truly a hidden gem because of the location. Very tucked away in a business park and off the beaten path. But once you've arrived, you won't be disappointed. The view from the dining room is amazing. You can see the Snake River Canyon from almost every seat. Chandler was our server, and he was amazing. We were very well taken care of. The food was also incredible. For lunch, we were a party of 4 and split a couple of sandwiches plus a cup of tomato bisque soup each and had plenty to eat. The sandwiches were large and delicious and very nicely done! If you are in the area and looking for great food and service with a view, try this place out!

The restaurant was recommended by our hotel. The setting was lovely. We were seated inside although there were tables open outside. We were seated next to a family with young children, not the most pleasant dining experience. The table rocked, we pointed it out to the server who did nothing. We had been seated long enough to decide on orders before the server even got to our table. She brought out our salads, which were just ok and forgot our drinks. The bread was served with some pink blob-no explanation as to what it was- and no offer of butter. The entrees were good. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, the service was slow and not good; I would not recommend this restaurant.

Drove 9 hours as part of our road trip. Stopped in town for the night and wanted to grab a bite. What a delightful surprise! Food was great, views of the Snake River Basin are breathtaking and our server, Blanca, was amazing. She made food and sightseeing recommendations throughout the evening. Will definitely stop there again when driving through town again!

This upscale restaurant is located in Twin Falls. The ambiance felt as if we were dining in San Francisco by the bay. They have floor to ceiling windows that overlook the Snake River Canyon. Although it was dark when we were there we could see the beauty all around us. They have a wrap around patio so we will be back in the summer to dine outside and fully enjoy the views. Now for the food. I had the Pork Chop meal with Plum Sauce. It was cooked perfectly and locally sourced. Of course I had to have an Idaho Baked Potato too and it was delicious. My husband had Prime Rib and said it was fabulous. He had rice Pilaf as his side and he loved it. We also got to have dinner with dear friends who have relocated to Twin Falls. I could highly recommend eating here and enjoying local sourced food that is so fresh. Nothing better.

Boy, we were so disappointed.... I expected a number of restaurants along the canyon walkway, but this is in an office building. The view is spectacular, it just was very difficult to find. By the time we arrived it was happy hour (2:00-6:00) and we were limited to the bar & HH menu. Chips are so-so -- says they are homemade but tasted like store bought. Buratta was a hit though. Pot stickers are deep fried, but I was expecting pan fried. Service was strange. Told us 25 min wait, so we went to the bar... But there were a lot of open tables. They finally agreed to seat us at a bar table. Waitress was nice, but new and made mistakes that would have added $24 to our bill had to be approved by the manager. If I lived in the area, I'd give them another try to taste the food I really wanted instead of the bar food.

Food is good, and services has always been good. It's got a gorgeous view of the snake river canyon. Just wish that price per portion was better. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of what we got. Will be going back !

We were visiting from Reno, and stayed at hotel a short walk from the restaurant. The views were awesome, but the food was awesome too. I had the trout and it was perfection. The tomato basil soup was also delicious too. My family had prime rib and the kids chicken tenders--everyone loved their dinner. The fries were a 11/10 per my son. We also tried the homemade crisp and brownie sundae, which were great too. The service was awesome, she even moved us inside without hesitation once the mosquitos came out. Overall I would highly recommend!

The food was real tasty but it seemed to be Overpriced and there were no simple vegetables salad, one had been removed from their website menu. The view was spectacular..if you could sit near a window.

I am disappointed by the dishonest response to my review. First, there were small tables available outside when we arrived but the hostess refused to seat us at one but we watched as she then seated another couple that arrived after we did. Second, no one offered for us to speak with a manager. That is untrue. I would never go to your restaurant and am further offended by the lies in the response.
