“When I started bussing tables over a decade ago, Boise was a beer-and-a-shot kind of town. Since then, I’ve grown with the industry - from the dish pit to fine dining. Watching it evolve into a place where people ask about amaro is wild. Hemlock feels like the future we used to imagine.”

- Ryan, Floor Captain

"I’ve called Boise home for over two decades. It’s where I’m raising my kids, where I walk my mini doodle, and where I’ve built a life in hospitality. I’ve done every job in the book, but what drives me is simple: making people feel cared for. That’s the heartbeat of Hemlock, and why I’m proud to be here.”

- Chris, Assistant GM of Operations

“Hospitality is more than just serving food; it’s about creating genuine connections. Growing up in Antigua Guatemala, I learned the importance of community and warmth, values that stay with me in every role I take on. After 30 years working across restaurants worldwide, Boise feels like home because of its close-knit spirit and welcoming people. At Hemlock, I ensure that sophistication never comes at the expense of genuine warmth.”

- Geovanny, Training Manager Supervisor, FOH Manager, and Lead Server

“Boise is where my story unfolds, between field practices, family dinners, and those wild moments only a mom of five knows. Hospitality has taught me patience and passion over 20 years, but it’s the spirit of this community that really inspires me. Whether I’m keeping Hemlock running behind the scenes or chasing kids at a game, I pour my heart into everything I do. Here, it’s not just about work, it’s about making connections that feel like home.” 

- Amy, Administrative Director
