While Idaho has never been known to the rest of the country as a food mecca, we have some truly magnificent eateries here. But every so often we hear so many compliments about a particular restaurant that we simply have to take a more in-depth look at everything that makes it so special. Of all of Idaho’s local favorites, one particular dining gem rises to new heights (literally) as a spectacular place to dine with a location so over-the-top gorgeous that we couldn’t resist featuring it: Elevation 486. If you’ve never had the opportunity to visit this scenic gem, check out what you’re missing:
