We had an enchanting dinner at the Grill at Knob Hill on a wintery Saturday night. From our table by the window we could see twinkling trees and children romping in the snow. The calamari appetizer was deliciously different with garlic, shallot, green onion, tomato, and red chili flakes. My husband's Wienerschnitzel was prepared in the classic manner -- which is the only way it should be served. I made quick work of the Idaho trout with capers and pine nuts. Our server was knowledgeable and the right blend of friendly and professional.

Had a half of a Rueben sandwich. The sandwich has great flavor and the bread was excellent. My main complaint is that there wasnât enough pastrami in the sandwich. They also have a variety of iced teas, that were delicious.Next visit I will try their other baked goods. Hi CRMotorbikes, Thank you for your review of our Reuben. We appreciate your feedback. I like to use reviews as teaching tools in the kitchen. I will double check portion sizes at your suggestion. On another note, our fresh bread is always a hit as are our baked goods. We do hope you come see us again and indulge!

This restaurant was recommended to us by two different friends in Boise, so we had to try it. We enjoyed our meals very much. You could tell that the place had been around a long time. The food and wine were very good and so was the service. I would definitely return should I make it back to Ketchum.

We visited on a Monday night and while we did not have a reservation, we were quoted 15-20 min which we were fine with. We were super hungry from a long day but really wanted to eat here. Not sure if Mondayâs after 7 are typically a crazy time but we got our table in twice the time quoted and our appetizers took another 30+ minutes to get to us once we ordered. The staff staff seemed nice and the food was delicious. Maybe it was an off night for logistics. Thank you for your feedback..we're sorry to hear about the long wait! We're so glad you enjoyed your food, and hope you give us another try in the future.

A friend and I took a snowy day off from skiing and weâre luckily able to get a reservation at Christinaâs. It is a tiny spot, and every table was full the whole time we were there. Soups and salads were both great and they have a nice wine list for lunch. All the ingredients were fresh and everything is prepared daily on site. A highlight was the home made cookies we had for dessert! I highly recommend this local lunch spot!

We were in Sun Valley area for my husbandâs birthday and made Pioneer Saloon our birthday extravaganza destination. We were not disappointed! This is something of an institution in the area, a favorite for locals and visitors alike. We enjoyed conversation with some other travelers in the comfy waiting area sipping wine while waiting for our table. The decor is crazy fun, and the dining rooms are cozy and good ambient space. We both chose the Jim Spud dinners, a comfort food combo of baked potatoes filled with 6 ozs of tender prime rib cubes, carmelized onions, sour cream, and then topped with cheese and lightly broiled to melt that cheese! Heart be still! Oh what a meal! With red wine, it was the quintessential Ketchum birthday meal! Highly recommend it!

Several locals referred us here for breakfast and it seems like lots of locals and tourists eat breakfast here. The usual fare plus some of their own breads. Decor is rustic western in one large room. Service was indifferent. Checked this place off the list, don't feel compelled to return.
