I had heard about Gernika from Trip Advisor, local friends, and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and took a day outing with family to try it. I read the other reviews on here and yes, it is small and yes, it has a pub menu, but that is the beauty of it. It's not supposed to 5-star French dining, it's a... more

Okay, so I love the lingua and there just aren't that many places other than burrito wagons where you're sure to find it. Gernika's preparation is always excellent and the place is magical in the way it has survived (and thrived) in spite of all the change (some call it progress) surrounding it. After a walk in the Julia Davis... more

Folks, the title says it all, be advised "Pub" means just that. The food here is tasty, good and on the level of appetizers and sandwiches that you would find a a decent bar/pub. The kitchen is nothing more than a short-order griddle and fryer placed right at the entry door. I mistakenly thought it would be like the family... more

We flew in and out of Boise on our Western Scenic Drives vacation. After seeing this restaurant featured on the Food Network, I checked out the reviews on Trip Advisor. It seemed like a great place to spend the last evening of our vacation before flying out early the next morning. I was soooo disappointed. The food was simply ok.... more

Read the reviews on Gernika on Trip Advisor and had to check it out. Dropped by twice for dinner in August 2009. Although enjoyable meals, I cannot express the same high degree of enthusiasm as many other reviewers have. No doubt the service was good on both occasions. The Spicy Lamb Grinder was very nice and the croquetas were great.... more

The food here is incredible, and very low priced! My husband and I both had the chicken kabob and a vegetable kabob, along with a salad. The kabobs were incredibly good and the salad was fresh. The garlic dressing for the salad was great. The kabobs were so good that we decided to try a lamb kabob and it was... more

The menu has tradational spanish (basque influence) items on the menu alongside regular favourites - a big step up from regular brew-pub food for sure!. The 'REAL Idaho' fries are not to be missed, along with the paella. Service was very friendly, down to earth and helpful. Food portions are very healthy and really good value. The pub room provided... more
