Hemlock Steakhouse Opens in Boise

Boise's culinary landscape is gearing up for a transformation with the introduction of Hemlock, a boutique fine-dining steakhouse. Set to open its doors on May 6, 2025, at the esteemed Inn at 500 Capitol, this new venture is spearheaded by the creative minds Scott Slater and Todd Ketlinski, who are also known for their successful restaurant, Spitfire Tacos + Tequila. Hemlock aims to infuse fresh energy into the steakhouse tradition, combining innovation with culinary excellence for an unforgettable dining experience.

A Fresh Approach to Steakhouse Dining

As Todd Ketlinski notes, this restaurant is not merely an addition to Boise's dining options; it represents a reimagination of what a steakhouse can be. He expresses pride in contributing to Boise's evolving culinary scene, where traditional dining practices are challenged with modern sensibilities.

The Menu: Traditional Meets Inventive

Guests stepping into Hemlock can anticipate a menu that embraces both tradition and creativity. The offerings will showcase premium cuts sourced from renowned ranches, including Riverbend Ranch in Idaho Falls and Snake River Farms from Eastern Idaho. Guests can look forward to standout dishes, such as:

• - 14-ounce American Wagyu New York Strip
• - 40-ounce Prime Porterhouse for Two
• - 8-ounce Wagyu Skirt and 8-ounce Wagyu Denver

But steak is just the beginning. Hemlock’s inventive starters will also delight, such as:

• - Table-Side Baked Potato for Two – a giant spud with exciting toppings
• - Brontosaurus Bone – a 10-inch sous vide beef rib, expertly dry-rubbed and prepared for the ultimate flavor punch.

Mixology and More

The beverage selection will feature a curated list of craft cocktails, aiming to elevate the dining experience even further. Signature cocktails will include:

• - Sage Grouse – a unique blend of Famous Grouse blended malt Scotch, elderflower, vanilla, lemon, passion fruit, cucumber, and a hint of absinthe
• - Ponderosa Sour – a twist on the classic, combining Old Forester 1920, Disaronno, almond, and egg white.

Catering to Evolve the Experience

Not only will Hemlock serve as a dining destination, but it will additionally take on the role of the exclusive caterer for events hosted at the Inn at 500 Capitol. This opens avenues for creating memorable culinary experiences for weddings, private gatherings, and corporate events. Furthermore, guests staying at the hotel will have the luxury of in-room dining service delivered right from Hemlock.

Conclusion

With an innovative flair and strong ties to the local community, Hemlock is set to make waves in Boise's culinary scene. Reservations can be made via their website at hemlockboise.com and diners are encouraged to follow their Instagram account @hemlockboise to keep up with updates and exclusive offerings.
