Romantic Weekend Dining & Music at Papa Hemi’s Hideaway
Valentine’s Day celebrations start on Friday and don’t stop till Monday at Papa Hemi’s Hideaway. All weekend long, the historic 1940s log cabin restaurant where Ernest Hemingway once lived and wrote is offering romantic fireside candlelight dining and three fabulous and varied nights of heart-warming acoustic entertainment – perfect for romance!
“We can’t think of a more romantic way to spend an evening with the one you love,” says chef proprietor Lynn Sheehan. “My sous chef, Aaron Lewis, and I have crafted a very special Four-Course Valentine Prix Fixe centered around fresh and local Idaho farm and ranch product. We just love working with Idaho foodstuffs – you really can taste the difference!” Chef Sheehan will also be available to recommend hand-picked wine or bubbly pairing sure to impress. Papa’s has over 40 wines by the glass, many more by the bottle, and specializes in local Idaho microbrews on their 9 tap heads. (See the prix fixe menu below) Papa Hemi’s Hideaway will also be offering their regular menu and additional specials throughout the weekend from 8am-10pm.
Live acoustic music will be performed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings – three very different styles to suit every heart.
Starting Friday evening from 6:30pm is Spare Change, with two of our most revered and well-liked local musicians, Chip Booth and Peter Boice. “Bluegrass inspired” is the most apt description. Chip is perhaps our finest local bluegrass performer and plays a wide variety of string instruments from banjo and guitar, to mandolin and… uke! And Peter offers an excellent voice and musicianship. But when Chip and Peter team up, the music rises to another level with rich harmonization and a tight sound that approaches perfection. Always very popular with restaurant guests who often hope for “just one more” when the curtain falls at 9:30pm.
Direct from Boise is Gayle Chapman with ‘Sandy’ Sanford on Saturday evening (from 6:30pm). Often compared to Bonnie Raitt and Melissa Etheridge, Gayle is an extremely accomplished musician and vocalist who writes many of her own tunes. Gayle spent her early years as the keyboardist/vocalist for Prince (the artist also known as) when he was first breaking into the hot Minneapolis music scene. Later, Gayle lived in NYC where she studied and performed jazz, and honed her already honeyed voice. Sandy has performed in Las Vegas and around the country in a variety of headliner bands, but his true love is the blues.
Sunday, Valentine’s Day, Papa Hemi’s is proud to feature the Latin Jazz Duo of Alejandro and Maria Laura (from 6pm). In their native South America, the duo was a popular nightclub act and many of their romantic songs will be performed in their native Spanish. If you liked the bossa nova stylings of Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz, you are sure to fall in love all over again with Alejandro and Maria Laura.
Make your honey the happiest person in town by combining candlelight dining and romantic live music in the old Ketchum style log cabin atmosphere of Papa Hemi’s Hideaway.
