  Fantastic! When visiting Idaho this is the place I'd hope to find. The food here is top notch, clearly the kitchen knows what they are doing. The fact that quality ingredients are used is what impressed me the most.
  Let me take a moment to sing the praises of the people who work here! Great service, outstanding conversation, and a degree of attentiveness that I have never found in the city.
  The view of the river off the back makes for a pristine backdrop for this dining experience.
  The perfect place to stop in between trips down the river.
  If I lived here in Idaho I would be sure to Cruz up often.
  Needless to say I will be sure to return here if I make it back to Idaho.

  Friendly staff and decent food with a great view of the kayaking and river rafting. Loved the waffles, but they are small.

  Adorable little roadside spot that sits high above the river and is seemingly the only (and best) option on this stretch of highway.
  
  This place is a gem of a pit stop for food that isn't crap. They have a good taplist too. Very satisfying on our roadtrip back home!

  Very nice view.
  
  Pretty nice people.
  
  Very greasy, expensive food. Not bad food mind you, just pretty expensive for what it is and very, very greasy so if you're not into that, this isn't your place.
  
  Interior is very cute, it's a walk up and order then seat yourself/get your drink kinda place. There is an adjacent store so people just hanging around talking.
  
  Bathrooms outside via key.
  
  Wanted to love it. Wouldn't go out of my way for it.
