We stop at Elevation 486 several times a year, 4-6 on our travels. We plan our travel to overnight in Twin Falls just to eat here. The food is outstanding, I usually try a different entrée each time but frequently have a steak. Last night...was quail and while on the smaller portion size, with a baked potato and salad was about right. Service has always been outstanding and friendly. The view is a million dollars, in warm weather the patio is perfect. I highly recommend and will eat here again.More

Our experience started out great, drinks, appetizers and salads arrived in a timely manner, and were delicious. Once these were cleared, it went downhill from there. Our waiter did not reappear for 10 minutes and another waiter topped off our water. We noticed that a...couple who arrived 15 minutes after us had their entrees. When our waiter returned and told us there was a bottleneck, I mentioned the couple next to us had their food and arrived long after us. He said our food was held up because we had appetizers. By the time our food arrived, we had waited 20 for our entrees. To add insult to injury, our garlic mashed potatoes were lukewarm. I had really looked forward to celebrating my birthday dinner here with my friends, instead it fell flat when the service and the food failed to match the money we paid. I doubt I will return.More

Amazing! Great food, great atmosphere! Christina and Parker were awesome. Never forgot anything, checked on us enough and always made sure we had everything we needed. We originally sat on the patio but I’m allergic to bees and they were everywhere. So they asked if...I would like to be moved inside and after a few started swarming I finally gave in. No wait time to be moved inside. Everyone was super friendly and the food was so delicious. I got the salmon and it was melt in your mouth amazing! My husband got the ribeye and it was also amazing. Definitely my favorite place to eat in twin so far through this vacation! And the money you pay is sooo worth the amount of food and the taste. 10/10 and I’m picky! Dessert was also amazing! Got the brownie which had hot fudge ice cream and strawberries. And we also got the white macadamia cheesecake. Ate every bite!More

We picked this restaurant because it has a great view of the Snake River canyon just below Mesa Falls. There is a golf course in the bottom of the canyon. Had it been cooler, we would have eaten outside on the lovely flowered patio but...was given a table with a great view inside - even without a reservation. I had a delicious large spinach salad with huckleberry dressing and pecans that I loved. My husband enjoyed his chicken sandwich and fries. The waiter was attentive but not intrusive. It was busy.More
