Angell's Bar & Grill   

Nice food, but stuffy atmosphere. Not the fun style. Almost too somber. Is it because it is underneath the Simplot offices? Brrrr!

Good service and not too pricey!

Angell's is one of Downtown's class acts! Quiet nooks, soft lights, wondrous wine list, and a menu that offers select regional seafood, steak and pasta dishes. It is a place to go for that perfect date escape. I love the patio too! Very open with a nice water feature. The staff is always courteous and friendly. I can't say enough good about this place! You must try the Trout, it is amazing!

Sorry, I can't imagine why this place gets great reviews. I finally tried it. Ambience was the WORST EVER. There was a direct, naked light bulb shining down on our table, as seen in police interrogations. I felt like sweating and demanding my lawyer. Then the iceberg-lettuce salad came, complete with cellophane-wrapped Saltines -- CLASSY!!!! The service was performed by your woefully-commonplace pimply sixteen-year-olds who don't know how to use a waiter's corkscrew. Yikes! Who hires these kids? The beef was only average, and not particularly warm. Precooked and been sitting there awhile? Seemed like it. Mashed potatoes -- well, I've made better spuds out of a box. Very, very sad. Hardly even on par with Black Angus (I prefer BA, actually) and very, very far from a "nice" or "great" restaurant. Stay far away unless you're hungry for mediocrity.
