THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED 8th Street Wine Co. Restaurant Review:

Once a collection of off-the-beaten-path retail stores, the renovated BoDo (Boise Downtown) district is the city's new "go to" destination for locals and tourists alike. Housed in a renovated brick warehouse space, you'll find 8th Street Wine Co., with its adjacent wine shop that stocks 500-plus labels. With such a selection close at hand, it's easy to pair libations with the eclectic entrées of the café. One may find an exotic African spice-rubbed Cairo chicken with apricot currant relish, rich cherry-stuffed pork tenderloin in a brandy pan sauce, and a sweet-and-spicy maple Chilean salmon accompanied by lemon zest mashers. You'll also find small and large appetizer plates that can be shared with the whole table or made into a meal for two. The patio seating is ideal for cool spring evenings and late summer nights. The one visual detractor: two indoor chandeliers made of wine glasses allude perhaps too strongly to 1970s craft parties.
