Elevation 486

We had a great experience eating on the patio here. The wait staff from the hostess to the busser was excellent. Our waitress was Kimber and she did great. The trout salmon and seafood linguine.All but we're excellent, and it would highly recommend any one of them. We will definitely be back.

I ate here with a relative and had a good time. We ordered the Reuben sandwich with fries, the mushroom burger with onion rings, and had the chocolate brownie with ice cream for dessert. Everything was very good. The restaurant is pretty cool inside and offer great views of the canyon. The Reuben was superb and the mushroom burger was good. The sides were also great. The meals weren’t expensive and service was good. I recommend Elevation 486

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.

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.

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!

Visiting from out of the area and decided on this spot based on location, view and ratings. Awesome experience in every way! Out waitress Catherine was very attentive, personable and fun! Appetizer salmon spread with garlic bread was very tasty and generous size. Shrimp tacos, and burger special were outstanding! The onion rings were a more delicate tempura, crunchy and full of flavor. Excellent first time experience and can’t wait to come back and try something else!

Came for the view (which is indeed amazing) but it’s the food that was far beyond expectations - very tasty and not pricey. Service is great too.

I had the flank steak with mashed potatoes. The steak was kinda small, but it was tender and filling. The view is stunning! Definitely worth it.

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.

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.

This is a hidden gem restaurant. The foods were excellent. The service staffs were great. The view was unbeatable. Overall I would highly recommend it.

A pleasure to be here for dinner with my wife while visiting the area from Nevada. Our server Diana was excellent and anticipated our needs on more than one occasion. The vistas of the canyon were amazing

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.

Great menu choices. The view makes this place a five star. The service was very good. The food was not amazing. Not bad at all, but unimpressive.

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.

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.

This place is so good. Delicious food and drinks. Service is very friendly. Good music and not too loud. Will be back

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 !

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Excellent place, fine food, the trout with mashed potatoes and ceviche were excellent. Patio overlooks Snake River. Easy parking

The food, service and views were spectacular! I recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

Great service. Beautiful view. A bit pricey for what we got, but overall, for a special occasion it was nice.

Very tastefully layout, comfy and cozy for a private lunch or dinner. Excellent food and professional service.

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.

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!

Had dinner here while I was in Twin Falls on a business trip. The food was amazing and the view was breathtaking.

I absolutely love the food here, the environment and staff. It never once has been horrible. The view is so beautiful! I have become a regular and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place! If you're ever passing through town I highly recommend stopping here!

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.

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.

Amazing food, incredible view of the Snake River canyon, and a great staff. What more could one ask for??? Be sure to try the fried green beans. Never heard of them? Neither had we, but are glad we tried them!

The setting is beautiful and the service was kind and friendly. They accommodated us sitting outside with our pup. You won't go wrong with this gorgeous setting and fresh food.

The menu has a great variety of beef chicken and vegan as well as lamb. It's a very nice restaurant on the edge of the canyon overlooking the bridge. Our service has been spot on so far. This is our second visit even though we live in Arkansas we made a special stop

The food is delicious, I had the jambalaya and it had so many flavors, you can't go wrong with it. And the view is spectacular. Our server was very sweet and very professional

Our meal was delicious but the location & view were spectacular! Zoom in to the distance. That's the bridge over the Snake River, 486' below!

The Quail is wonderful as is the huckleberry butter and they know how to cook a steak

Our visit was on a Friday evening. Firstly, I would love to rate this restaurant a 1, but our waitress was very prompt, the tomato bisque soup, and the bread with huckleberry butter were both downright excellent. Our problems started when the entrees came out well done that we ordered rare. I rarely do this, but I decided to send it back and asked for a different fire for rare steaks. Replacement steaks came out well done AGAIN, to say this was a disappointment is an understatement. We asked to just have it taken off the bill and sent back. To still be charged for the sides that ended up being the only thing that was eaten was disappointing. The only redeeming quality was the quail that was cooked very well, and the stunning view of the river. Can't say we will ever be back again.

First of all the view was fabulous of the snake river and canyon the food was great I had the grilled pork chop dinner with baked potato, applesauce was great too. the bread rolls were homemade and was great also. service was very good to and was not long on waiting you will not regret going there for sure.

Delicious food and beyond awesome service. Virginia is amazing. Hostessing staff was accommodating and found us a great table with an amazing view. A must go to when in Twin Falls.

Amazing views and great steak. You definitely get to sit back and enjoy the service of kind people. Came here twice for a work dinner and it didn't disappoint.

Recently we came to Twin Falls to do some hiking and sightseeing plus friends said if you're gonna be in Twin then you have to go to Elevation 486 for dinner. So after a long day of exploring and hiking we have this place a try. First the views are out of this world overlooking the whole valley and canyon. The restaurant gets its name because it's 486 ft above the base of the canyon. Inside there are no bad views but if you are lucky enough to either sit outside or along the windows the views get that much better. Our service was really good and our waitress was super friendly but did make us a feel a little rushed even though she said no rush many times. Dinner to me was just ok for me...I ordered the lamb and while cooked pretty well lacked the depth of flavor I was looking for and the potato on the side was really nothing special. My wife had the filet and again while cooked perfectly it as well lacked some seasoning or even a sauce to bribe it over the top. We also enjoyed the apple crumble for desert and wasn't that impressed either but it was homemade and the ice cream on top was delicious. Overall great experience just wished the food had a little more depth in the flavors, but for sure 100% would be back to try for lunch or dinner. I would really recommend this experience to anyone visiting this location and view is pretty special.

I wanted to be clear that there were 2 tables that seated 6 or so people. As the night went on some people joined and pulled up chairs to the ends of tables.

Great location and views nice decor with friendly attentive staff. Let down by one of the worst steaks I've ever had. What a shame.

Lovely views. Great patio. Nice variety of foods. Always well prepared and fine quality. Superior service.

Kimber was our waitress this evening. She was awesome, perfect timing in checking on us. Provided wonderful service. Just as sweet as she could be. She was nervous opening a bottle of sparkling wild huckleberry wine but was a quick learner when my son showed her how. Oh by the was the food is fantastic too.

Awesome views, great food that was fairly priced. Service was good. Very busy but was able to get outside table which made the experience even better

Great view and ambiance. Our table was outside and the weather was great! Table is a little small for four plates and appetizers but the service was excellent. Had the burrata and tomato appetizer...very good and tasty; had the halibut (for the price, the fish was overcooked but still edible); flatiron steak was good and jambalaya was spicy; and chocolate brownie for dessert, was yummy...overall, good experience.

Great food; sat on the patio with beautiful sunset. Service was excellent; a lot of attention to detail by staff. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place with amazing view. Walking trail just below the restaurant to walk off the wine! Great service and food!
