    I came in from the Hilton across the street with a $15 coupon, so I decided to give this place a try. I ordered the salmon, and what I received was disappointing -- a small piece of fish served over cabbage, as if they ran out of ingredients and just threw something together. I'm a seafood lover and have had clam chowder from all over, and this was by far the worst I've tried. It had no flavor at all; I actually had to add hot sauce just to make it edible. Based on the quality of the food, I can't see this place lasting long unless they make major improvements. They could honestly use a Gordon Ramsay-style wake-up call, because the food was nowhere near the standard it should be for the prices they charge. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant in its current state.

    The young owner (also the chef) seems a nice guy but he is running a bad restaurant and our (one and done) experience was a miserable one for ambiance, service and food. My husband and I went in at lunchtime (same menu all day) because I read high praise for the schnitzel here on another site and some local radio personality called it "the coolest place ever". (Who ARE these people?) It wasn't planned destination dining, but we were near the Boise mall and and I remembered Amelie's was nearby. I should have know better (but hope springs eternal) because I knew the backstory here. Let's start with that. BACKSTORY: Amelie's is the second format for eatery (if at first you don't succeed...you know the rest of that maxim) by owner Jason Wang in a building that was once McGrath's Fish House (now defunct) and became O'Crab (chain franchise) and then with this owner Country Bay Bistro, a largely seafood boils kinda place in 2021'ish. That didn't work out (for all kinds of reasons) and earlier this year the owner announced a new name, Amelie's (after his wife), that he said would be a French focused food place, to quote him, "...bringing timeless flavors and elegant French charm to Boise." Remember that mission description. What could possibly go wrong in reimagining the cavernous space, with fishing dock and net'ish decor, in that Spectrum location with a seafood boil menu and making it ""...timeless flavors and elegant French charm" ? Turns out the answer is a lot can go wrong. I feel sorry for this owner who seems a good guy, but this bad eatery likely won't last long. SERVICE & VIBE: When we arrived at 12:45'ish, a dark haired young woman dressed in all tee and pants with dark hoodie (that seemed perhaps kitchen attire) was standing alongside the host-stand talking to a man who was seated on a bench drinking coffee. She looked at us as if surprised to see us enter and after a significant pause asked "Do you want a table?" We said we did. She led the way to the dining room, which had no lights on and where we were the only customers except for a man at the bar eating a small green salad (he was still there when we left an hour later), invited us to choose where we'd like to sit among the long tables (all topped with white butcher paper like a motif remaining from the seafood boil days) or step up booths along the walls and asked if we wanted to start with a beverage. (We declined.) A while later she returned to take our orders and left the big menus sitting in front of us. I moved them to the side of the table to get them out of our way (where they remained until the check was delivered). Some time later she returned with our food in three different trips from the kitchen. We didn't see her again until my husband walked out to the front desk (to find her on the phone) to tell her we were ready for our check. When she returned to the table to bring us the check (finally picking up the menus as she said "let me get these out of the way") she asked if we needed take-away boxes since there was a lot of food remaining on both plates. We declined. This was not a person trained in food service. Not her fault. That is a management issue to provide training. About 1:30'ish, towards the end of our meal, a man in an O'Crab shirt appeared from the kitchen and, from behind the bar, finally turned on the lights in the restaurant. French elegant charm this is not. FOOD & $: The menu has several seafood options, like fish and chips and some western Euro options like three kinds of schnitzel. Since the chicken form of this is the dish to which the other diner awarded high praise, this is what I ordered. Per the menu, I expected, "Crisp, golden-breaded cutlet...topped with a creamy mushroom sauce, melted mozzarella garnished with lemon and fresh herbs". What I received was a cutlet so cooked to smithereens that it was difficult to cut, a lettuce salad on the plate (not fresh herbs) with an off taste (as if dressing had gone bad), a lemon wedge and a thick brown'ish sauce that was inedible (delivered to table in gravy boat, no less). My husband didn't fare much better with his choice. The coating on the "crispy beer-battered halibut " fish and chips did not stick to it and while the white fish was flaky it was also tasteless, almost wet textured. The best part of both meals were the French fries and that was largely thanks to the ketchup to dunk them in. The total for the two dishes was just under $40 with tax. Low prices and low quality. NOTE: The owner also advertises this as an event and wedding venue. I am not kidding. PARKING: Private lot. ACCESSIBILITY: Accessible parking in front. Tables are standard height but so close together that it will be difficult for a wheelchair user to sit anywhere but on the end of the tables coming in. LOOKING FOR CLASSIC FRENCH FARE AND CHARM?: Bacquet's in Eagle is the place.

    The food was absolutely amazing both times we've been in. The service was nice as well, they just mis charged us both times. First time was charged for a bottle of wine versus a glass, and then we were charged for double lobster. Both waiters were kind and corrected the mistake quickly and kindly. The atmosphere is also a beautiful place.

    Good food, wonderful staff & owners, beautiful ambiance. Always a pleasure working with them on our events. I highly recommend Amelie's for any event or even a date night.

    Went early to dinner, made it in time for HH. For a mere $2.00 I enjoyed a vodka tea, actually had two. What a bargain. I had the halibut with fries, so yummy. Lightly breaded with a very large serving of fish. Came with steak fries that were also good. Would definitely order again, more than I could eat. My husband ordered the steak Fritas with fries, also good bit the halibut was better, I ended up taking some home as I could not eat it all. Service was excellent, and the venue is very nice, very clean.

    Such a wonderful experience! Beautiful dining area and peaceful atmosphere/ music!! We got the poached salmon appetizer and it was one of the best appetizers we have ever had!! The shellfish plate was also super flavorful and the fish was hearty! Servers were very honest and helpful and helped pick the best items and made our experience perfect! Also very good prices for a seafood boil. They packaged our food for us and not to mention the food came out extremely fast!! We will be coming again to try the Sunday brunch and more dinner items for sure!

    I though this place so so incredible!! I want to say that it may newer or is struggling to get out because it is not super busy. The people and owners were so nice and educated. The restaurant was super clean as I watched people spot treat the tables. I had order the Shoreline Sizzler and I truly was so impressed with how good the food was. It did not take to long. I would come here again!!

    I have nothing negative to report about my experience at Amelie's. My wife and I were treated with respect (despite being severely underdressed) the service was amazing. Our server Deanna was fantastic and made our dining experience as pleasant and enjoyable as she could. The vibe at Amelie's was very comfy and relaxed despite being a high end dining experience. The lights were low enough to have a candle lit ambiance while also bright enough to see easily. Now finally the food, I was blown away by the quality and flavor the food had. I can't think of a way to explain it beyond the fact that it was the best seafood I've ever had. Bravo Amelie's, and we'll be back soon,

    The BEST ever Clam Chowder Soup, with the clams inside the shells..Amazing!
    Crystal S.

    I took my husband here for his birthday and was delightfully surprised at how much the decor had changed. We've seen this place change hands a few times now but we were very impressed. The decor and ambiance were just right and it was very quiet (of course it was 4pm on a Sunday...perfect time to go). We both ordered the All You Can Eat which included anything on the menu except for lobster or king crab, but everything else was included and we were very impressed with that. We had shrimp cocktail, oysters, the BEST clam chowder I've ever had (even had the clams in the shell), ribeye steak (which comes out sizzling on the metal plate so be careful when you order, if you like it medium order it medium rare, etc.), calamari, and scallops. Everything was amazing. One thing to be watchful of is that you can't take anything left to go, so be careful. I ate way too much but couldn't help it because it was all so good, but I felt horrible having to leave a good portion of my steak behind. Also, they have a Black Currant Cider that was amazing and I can't wait to go back, even if I only ordered that and their clam chowder soup. Our waitress was so helpful in assisting us in the ordering process and she had some great recommendations. We both agree that this is our new favorite place (it used to be Barbacoa) and we will definitely be back.

It has a nice ambience. Inside are a combination of booths, half booths, low and bar height tables, dark wood, with a nice semi-circular bar with a nice, semi-circular metal decoration that was filled with artificial plants, wine bottles, and small kegs. There was a wine rack accent wall on the right. It is located in downtown Boise at the corner of Idaho and 8th St along restaurant row. Our server was Matthew B, and while he was a nice guy, he did not provide good service. It took him a while to get to our table, then after we ordered drinks, it took too long to get them. We then ordered appetizers but he didn't take our dinner orders. We waited too long for the appetizers, and then we ordered our dinners, which also took a while to come out. Runners brought our food out, not Matthew. He did not to refill the women's sodas, we had to ask. He did bring another glass of wine to one of the men, but that was because he was signaled. He did not ask the other people that ordered beer and cocktails if they wanted another. We never had our water glasses refilled. We told him about the birthday celebration, and all he said was, if we ordered dessert, he would put a candle on it. What? Most places serve a complimentary dessert for a birthday celebration. He also took too long to bring us our checks. We're all good tippers. We gave him 15%; he didn't deserve it. The food was OK, not spectacular, but overpriced. As far as the apetizers, the asparagus fries were not that flavorful, though nicely crusted. The cauliflower was just OK, likewise the chicken wings. I did like the honey and balsamic grilled brussel sprouts. Speaking for my wife and I, she liked the BAM Sammy. The side salad was average. I ordered the Urban Burger. While the patty was cooked well, it was small. I can get a bigger, better burger that costs less at any number of restaurants we frequent, including a few near us (we live in Star). I did like the fries. Crispy, with I believe Parmesan cheese coating them. My friend said his smoked salmon salad was just OK. We found it very loud, and difficult to hear each other in conversation. Needless to say, we have no plans to return to Fork.

I know my husband who is a huge pizza lover would absolutely love their pizza here. So for my birthday, I decided that we should hit up The James for dinner. I had made a reservation for a patio table a couple days ahead of schedule. I really wanted to sit outside with the family and enjoy our meal. Of course the day of my birthday, the weather was windy and cooler. I called the restaurant to see if we couple l could possibly dine inside. The gentleman that helped me over the phone wasn't really friendly but he assured me that dining inside shouldn't be an issue. We had a cute table reserved for us inside. It was pretty chill when we came in. A few people at the bar and another table enjoying their meal. The last time my friends and I were in, it was so busy. I actually appreciate how chill it was tonight. Nothing like enjoying my family and our meal in a calm space. We got some food ordered. We started off with some wings, clam chowder and zuppa tuscono soup. A pepperoni pizza for my husband and I. My daughter got the French dip sammy. I planned on having a little bit of my daughter's sandwich. I have to make sure it's tasty! The wings came out first. They were cooked perfectly! Crispy on the outside but the chicken wing was still tender. The buffalo sauce and ranch were in dipping cups on the side. We all had a few and then soups were dropped off. My husband's clam chowder was money. It was so good! Clams and potatoes through out each bite. My daughter's zuppa was very hearty and spicy. I love the kale in the soup. I had a couple bites but the heat was becoming a little too much for me. Our pizza was hot right out the oven. The cheese was perfectly melty. Plenty of pepperoni slices on the pizza. I appreciate the fact that the crust isn't crazy thick. It's thinner so you're not eating a tone of bread. The crust is crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. The sauce is not overwhelming in herbs. This joint seriously has some of the best pizza in town! Each slice I had tonight was fantastic! My daughter enjoyed her sammy. I didn't get a chance to snag a bite. I was too busy tearing up our pizza. I did snag a few fries and these folks know how to produce a great fry. We didn't get the gorgonzola fries this time but it will be a must have the next time we hit this joint up. It's been a hot minute since I have had them and I still daydream about them. Our sweet server got me birthday dessert. Chocolate cake with raspberry sauce on it. It was devine. I couldn't tell if the cake was flourless. It was really dense like it was but I didn't mind. It was still so good. I enjoyed the raspberry sauce that came on it. Since the cake was so dense, the raspberry sauce added some brightness to it. As full as I was, I had to make sure my birthday dessert was finished. I'm a sucker for anything sweet no matter how full I am. Tonight's dining experience was great. Our server was sweet and delightful. Our food was killer good. My dessert was banger. And the vibe was chill. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better dinner to celebrate my birthday. I look forward to coming back, sitting on the patio and vibing out while enjoying our food.

We have tried many nice places around Boise and me being new to town and her knowing everyplace I was surprised when I found out she had never been here! Huge plus, huge expectations for a better than average meal / experience! Everything was damn near perfect! Parking lot next to it, finding street parking on a Friday at 7pm is impossible! Had our table ready, a nice little two person booth by the windows in a beautiful space! This really is a nice room, as you come up the large sweeping staircase, you're greeted by this large open space. Nicely laid out space, not loud at all for the size of the room and the people, well planned! The service was great, drinks near perfect, company unmatched! I had the Black Cod which was perfectly done with a nice crisp skin side to it! She had the roasted chicken which was perfectly done and sweet to the finish! Through this meal I ordered a glass of wine, something Red and good with the fish...a Cabernet perhaps...another spot on match, great glass of wine...soft notes that hit with the fish just right! We did skip the desert, but have full intentions of coming back, soon! KT

    We had a lovely dinner last Saturday night. The staff were very friendly and worked well together…read more Our waters were filled by several different people and meals brought out by someone other than our waitress- a real team effort! I felt like staff checked on us, but was not overly attentive. Perfect!! We had the Percy potatoes (so good and the perfect crunch) and the sugar snap pea appetizers ( wish the menu would have stated the peas are served cold- my husband loved, but I don't like cold sugar snaps) For our main I had the chicken, mash and asparagus. All 10/10 and you could really taste the smoke of the oven. My husband had the sticky ribs and he said some of the best he's ever had! We finished off our meal with a delicious slice of carrot cake.

    Percy is a "hidden gem" for lunch downtown. My wife and I went there last week and I still can't…read moreget over the amazing short rib pasta. They are in a nondescript spot and we almost walked by but thank God we didn't. From the friendly hostess to the attentive waitress to the excellent food, it was a place worth visiting. We started with their spinach artichoke dip with house-made fermented hot sauce (spicy, tangy and delicious). Then I ordered their phenomenal short rib pasta and my wife had a salad that could have fed both of us. The vibe of Percy is a mix of business professional and casual lunch with friends. The music was classics and the decor is refined with huge windows to view the surroundings. If you are ever in the Boise area, I would recommend you get to Percy. It will be worth it.
