We weren't sure, but definitely glad we gave it a try! Food was incredible, service was fantastic! Our server was Deanna and she didn't miss a beat! My husband had the cod fish & chips which were amazing and not overly breaded, I don't eat much fried food so Deanna had them grill my halibut.....all I can say is YUM! We also started with oysters on the half shell and the buffalo wings (not breaded) EVERYTHING was up to par and there was nothing on our table that we could have considered less than great. And yes the ambience is perfect. We will definitely be back!!! Hopefully they start doing a happy hour soon Mahalo country bay bistro! read more

Decided to stop by one evening as we've driven by this location a ton of times on our way to the theater. Great food and great service! A fantastic date night spot, classy but casual at the same time read more

Met a group of friends for Happy Hour! Amelia's was excellent. The meatballs were tender, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor, and the sweet potato pie was absolutely amazing--smooth, warm, and not too sweet. A delicious experience from start to finish. The staff made us feel taken care of from start to finish. The ambiance was cozy without feeling crowded. I'll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends. read more

We just had a wonderful meal at Amelie's. We got there during happy hour and ordered appetizers from the happy hour menu. We had the calamari, oysters Rockefeller, the wagyu ravioli and a cup of chowder. We were pleasantly surprised at the portions, presentation and how delicious everything tasted. The calamari is quite spicy so if you are not a spice fanatic ask for it on the side. The oysters came out flaming and were excellent. The ravioli and chowder did not disappointed. Our server was attentive, courteous and the knowledgeable about the menu. We even had the manager/owner visit our table to ask about our meal. The ambiance was elegant but not overly and we felt comfortable in our casual attire. We will be back and will definitely try one of the boils as we oooed when it came to the table near us. Go, you will have a nice time. Prices are reasonable and portions are plenty. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food, service, and ambiance are amazing. I had one of the best meals I have had in a long time, and I am a bit of a "foodie." I ordered the Beef Bourguignonne, and it was fabulous. So tender you could almost cut it with a fork! My friend ordered the Steak Frites, and she was just as pleased. The coffee was freshly ground and brewed. Just wonderful! read more

absolutely AMAZING !! if you're a calamari fan this is your place. try their butter garlic sauce & lots of other HOUSEMADE SAUCES to perfection. Beer on TAP Food is French inspired & youll love it ! read more

The food menu didn't seem appealing first off, so I just went with an appetizer of fried calamari. It was terrible. The only flavor that could be tasted was that of rancid cooking oil. Otherwise, it was the most bland calamari I've ever had. The bartender was friendly and professional, but the rest of the waitstaff just walked around and cursed and complained the whole time I was sitting there. I will definitely not return to this establishment. read more

We went for The boil and it was not at all what it appeared in the online videos I had seen and the posted menu was not at all the same. After pointing out that we didnt receive some items we ordered we did get the full order but shouldn't have had to ask for the add ons twice. A little disappointed but still enjoyed our overall experience. read more

The food was very mediocre. I ordered it takeout and at these prices, I was expecting nice containers nice bag and delicious food. I had the salmon and the one good thing was the crispiness on the outside. It was served with very greasy potatoes. The chocolate lava cake was definitely food Service -seemed like fast food quality. Me not finishing a chocolate cake is a rarity! The ambience inside seemed like a fun environment, but definitely not a high-quality restaurant. read more

Best Caesar salad I've ever had. Weird thing to review, but it was exceptionally fresh and tasty. Calamari made the perfect appetizer. Clam chowder was excellent. The Hawaiian shrimp were also a big hit at our table. Oh! And I'm so glad we ordered dessert cause the beignets were better than ones we even ate in Louisiana. The chef here is obviously talented. The old brick building and ambiance has so much character that it feels more like an experience than just a meal. Our server had a fun personality and kept things moving at the perfect pace. I also noticed that they have an event room that would make for a great party or wedding venue. There's lots of seating, a dance floor and patio area. It wouldn't even need decorating because it's already got the great brick and decor. read more

Jason surprised us with an anniversary dessert today and it was outstanding! read more

Amelies - Pork schnitzel - Seafood Near Me - Boise, Idaho

The most incohesive restaurant. There is nothing French about the menu, it is all over the map, as if they are using the former seafood menu as a template. The ravioli were wontons. It's a cool building, but not French. A French restaurant would not have football on or have butcher table paper, which is fine if they are sticking with the seafood boils (of which there are alot). The fish and chips was the best meal at our table, and we could tell that someone knew how to cook it perfectly. All that to say, we will not be back. Gordon Ramsay would say, pick a lane. read more

We had the fish and chips, I liked the flavor of the fries, had a nice spice but my husband thought they were to soggy. The fish was good , he would have liked it cooked in several pieces instead of one big one. Tried the Citrus Louis salad, ordered to go and it was missing the dressing so maybe it would have been better with their vinaigrette. I would have liked the shrimp grilled better and the crab was to fishy for me. It also didn't have the pistachio crunch listed on the menu. Not sure I would try this again, the lettuce wasn't crisp to many things that made it not appealing to me. read more

It was so scrumptious and delicious. We got the le captain boil Cajun style it was very good we also had the cauliflower bites and those were amazing. My favorite place for a seafood boil. Never disappoints. Happy hour is also a great time for really cheap drinks. 2$! For a lemonade vodka tea that was strong but delicious at the same time. I hope this place stays open for as long as I live. Our server was also very friendly and checked up on us the perfect amount he's doing a good job. read more

Loved the calamari appetizer during Happy Hour and the service. Will be back when in Boise again!

Excellent food and service. My wife and I ordered the Schnitzel's both were really good, some of the best we've eaten. The fries were amazing as well. Huge portions. Our only complaint was their wine list. read more

Country Bay Bistro- nope Came with the girls for our lunch break. So disappointed. The atmosphere is ok. Service started out great but once they knew I didn't like my food, they barely came back. We had to ask for drink refills since they wanted to cash us out quickly. Food is way under seasoned and slightly overcooked. Lobster tail was overcooked and extremely hard to remove from the shell. The shrimp fried rice over seasoned and very salt. Scallops had absolutely no flavor-even the garlic butter was mediocre. The mixed veggies way undercooked and had a very bad taste as if they couldn't figure out what to spice them with. The Bacon Benedict was the only truly tasty dish. The red potatoes very well cooked. Overall will not return. read more

I've been to this location many times over the years. I loved the original seafood place but can't remember the name of the now nearly defunct chain. As for O'Crab, it was pretty good but this place is so big and they seldom filled it up. Their Nampa location seems to be going strong. I wasn't expecting much since there were almost no cars in the entire parking lot at 2 pm on a Monday. Both Cracker Barrel next door and Twin Peaks down the block a bit looked fairly crowded. I only ordered appetizers. Fried calamari/oysters combo and a bowl of clam chowder. My waitress recommended the chowder over the other soups. I can see why! It was a good amount with great flavor and plenty of baby clams (15-20) on top. They seemed to have been cooked in the chowder rather than added as an afterthought. The broth was wonderful and this was not just potato soup with clams added. There was also some small pieces of toast that were perfect for sopping. I'd eat this anytime. I'd suggest a side plate to put all the clam shells in. As for the calamari, there are two ways to perfectly cook it. Lightly cook for a minute or two--sometimes even less. OR cook it a long time until it turns tender again. This was just a bit undercooked. It needed maybe 20 more seconds in the deep fryer. Some thin circles were done, most were like rubber bands. The taste was excellent with the lemon. I took about 60% home and reheated/finished in the oven for lunch the next day. The oysters were nicely cooked but had a slight irony flavor. A bit more than usual. There were plenty of them. The value of the calamari/oyster appetizer was tremendous. Country Bay is full of antique items. It's very clean and everyone was friendly. Still kind of a nautical theme but more downbeat than Red Lobster. Either way, I'd definitely go back for chowder alone, and next time I'll have a dinner as well. (Follow up, I drove by Sunday afternoon on my way to Costco. There were barely a handful of cars in the lot. If you like this place, go often and immediately. It won't last much longer otherwise). read more

Went for happy hour appetizers. Shared 5 giant shrimp and 4 giant meatballs. Very tasty and filling. Also got the crab cheese dip. Everyone loved it. The owner brought us out complimentary sweet potato pie. Delicious. Great experience. Cost was very reasonable. read more

Brought a group there for Happy Hour and we all had a great time. I love their oysters. I've had the fresh oysters, meatballs, crisp cauliflower and others had the pineapple shrimp, which looked amazing and the crab dip. Everyone enjoyed their food. I recommend that you try them. read more

Great happy hour menu with tasty food. The pineapple shrimp was the best.Outstanding service

Great place! Had Happy Hour with a few friends and felt right at home. Good food with fantastic service. Will be back!

My friend and I came into Amelies on Dec 17, 2025 and this is my new favorite restaurant. The ambiance was awesome: chandeliers and lighting was perfect. The menu was very eclectic which it was interesting to read. My friend had the Jager Schnitzel which she liked. We had both been in Germany so I thought she had a good read on it. I had the fish and chips. I'm always afraid to order that because so many times it's fishy or greasy or the breading is awful. It was perfect in every way. We shared the cauliflower bites. Oh my goodness, I can't wait to go back in for these. The sauce was so good and the breading on the cauliflower was perfect. The owners introduced themselves. So very, very nice and I wish them the best. Oh, and by the way, I saw the wedding venue! Absolutely breathtaking!! read more

Received a coupon in the mail for $9.99 fish and chips, cod or halibut. My husband and I both ordered the halibut. This was our first time here. The fish was mushy and did not have the consistency of halibut so we doubt it was halibut. My husband also got a cup of the tomato bisque. He took one sip of the soup and slid it away saying it tasted "off". Not good at all. He told the waitress but all she did was take it away and she did not remove it from our bill. My husband also ordered a Diet Pepsi, $3.50 and the waitress never offered a refill. We won't be back. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful day celebrating our 59th Anniversary, culminating with a very special dinner at Amelie's. That story is romantic in itself because the owner & fabulous chef, Jason Wang, named the reimagined restaurant after his wife, Amelie. They were both such gracious hosts, along with our terrific server, Neil. The inside of the restaurant provides a lovely atmosphere and every bite of food was delicious--from the mouth watering appetizers to the amazing entrees. All that being said--it was the personal service and interaction that makes us want to come back & bring others soon. This was definitely a 5 star restaurant & experience! Thank you, Denny & Kathy Freeburn read more

went there for Xmas buffet. prices were $45 per person. dinner was ice cold , turkey and ham were processed meats, prime rib on buffet menu but of course they didn't have it. very low quality food and service read more

Not sure what this place is. It was very empty. Staff were not friendly at all. We immediately left.

Food is delicious but one of the worst wine menus I have ever seen from a place that doesn't have a full bar.

The food here is amazing! Chef Jason has the freshest seafood. The atmosphere is lovely. Great patio for the warm days. Highly recommend for dinner or any special event! read more

Finally tried this place. Shocking it excited my expectations! Would do this again. Until we were almost done and saw the bartender or waitress/waiter go out and vape, came back inside without washing hands. That's just a huge no for me! read more

Disappointing After seeing reviews on Nextdoor and receiving coupons in the mail, we decided to try Country Bay Bistro. We were in the neighborhood for a basketball tournament and decided to go here. The restaurant is right next to a theater complex and yet there were almost no cars in the parking lot on a Saturday shortly after noon. I wondered if they were even open. First strike against the: they had no children's menu! Really? Half the restaurant didn't even have tables and chairs. The room we were seated in had one other group and a second one came later, Our waitress didn't seem to know much. The coupons we had received in the mail touted a "lunch special" from 12 to 5 with 12 diferent entrees or $9.99. The menu she gave us did not include the lunch special. I asked her about that. She didn't know, and went to ask someone else. She came back and said that was only Monday through Friday. The coupon didn't say that and I told her so. She only stared at me blankly. I notice they are still sending out the same ad with coupons for a lunch special that does not specify it is only good on weekdays, Despite the lack of customers, our service was inattentive. My adult daugher asked for a refill of her Dr. Pepper, but after it arrived, she found it was Pepsi, which she doesn't like. Our waitress was nowhere to be seen. She finally appeared maybe fifteen minutes later during which time my daughter was waiting for her drink refill. So we finally got that an then she didn't appear promptly with the check. My husband rarely gives less than a 20% tip, but on this occasion, he gave her a seriously reduced tip. I don't expect they will stay in business very long. Save yourself some frustration and go somewhere else. read more

Great service, I love the new decor and ambiance. I had the schnitzel. Was perfect!

Definitely our new seafood place. Price vs proportions were definitely above competitive places in the area and the taste was great! New decor was nice compared to the last couple places in the same location. read more
