Cookbook Restaurant

One of our favorite things is to find a " mom & pop" restaurant that cares about the entire experience and then nails the execution. At Cookbook, you are greeted by the owners, who seat you, answer your questions about their restaurant/menu, then take your order, etc. Tonight, this was followed by a great cup of sausage and kale soup, bison ragu with brocholini for me, squash bolognese for my wife, then the seven layer cake which we shared. All of these (except the cake) were piping hot and made with fresh produce and proteins. As for the cake, it was wonderful and the perfect way to end a perfect dining experience. The family atmosphere reminded me of meals I've had in small family run places in Ferringdon(outside London), Milan, Grenoble, Angier, Seville, Toledo, Madrid, and Augsburg, etc... Felt old school European, including the pride of ownership and the simple ingredients prepared well. If you find yourself in Sun Valley area, give this place a go, but might want to make a reservation as Cookbook is pretty small and filled up quickly tonight. Vegetarian options: Couple of options.

This place was dead at 5:30ish on a Saturday. We walked in looking for a quick bite to eat. The person greeting us at the door acted like we were an inconvenience asking if we had reservations. Plenty of tables were open and apparently the next reservation was at 6pm. The waitress was nice enough, but she seemed very disappointed that we only wanted a small pizza. We didn't order drinks, alcohol, deserts, or pasta. It's incredibly disappointing because the pizza was great. Would love to see how they'd do a New York Slice. Unfortunately, the experience was so disappointing I would never go back. I have no idea how well this place does during peak season, but seems they'd do a lot better if they didn't act like it was a two or three star Michelin place.
