Upscale Restaurant and Wine Bar in Boise

This stylish casual dining establishment specializes in gourmet comfort cuisine, alongside a curated selection of beer and wine, situated in a thriving residential area of Boise, Idaho. After being acquired in a distressed state, the current ownership has dedicated three years to revitalizing the business with major renovations, a complete rebranding, and a revamped menu, along with a food-cost management system that enhances visibility into expenses and profits. As a result, the restaurant is now achieving around $900,000 in annual sales, with most months in 2026 showing profitability or approaching break-even. This listing is primarily for the assets. The venue occupies a 2,347 sq. ft. leased space (excluding the outdoor patio) in a rapidly growing residential zone, surrounded by new housing developments. It features seating for 50 indoors, 24 on the patio, and 10 at the bar, all within a fully operational restaurant and bar setting, ready for immediate use. The dining area opens to a spacious, dog-friendly outdoor patio, creating an appealing indoor/outdoor dining experience. The business benefits from a favorable lease with about seven years remaining, ensuring long-term stability at a reasonable occupancy cost. Assets total $117,675. In terms of competition, this restaurant stands out in Boise's vibrant casual-to-upscale dining scene, characterized by a mix of independent eateries and wine bars. It has carved out a niche by offering a unique high-end comfort food menu complemented by a selective wine and beer program that few competitors match. With a solid brand, an active social media presence, a proprietary customer loyalty database, and a unique patio setting, the business has established significant barriers to entry for potential new competitors. The ongoing residential growth in the area is also increasing the customer base more rapidly than new competitors can emerge, giving it an advantage with new residents. Several growth opportunities remain, including a planned "Phase 3" expansion, third-party delivery, catering, and a mobile wine bar/event service that is yet to be launched, despite existing demand. Current ownership believes these avenues could elevate annual sales beyond $1 million. Additionally, there is potential to improve labor efficiency, as the current owner operates part-time alongside other business interests, allowing for cost reductions and enhanced margins if a full-time operator takes over. These factors, combined with the area's continued residential development, position a new, dedicated owner to significantly expand on the existing operational and brand framework.
