21 Best Seafood Restaurants near Meridian

“I’ve been to/ordered from Red Fort a lot, and always enjoyed it, but it’s those outlier experiences that get you to remember to write a review, for better or worse. Last night we celebrated my daughter’s birthday and we decided to DoorDash an order from them. This was a long distance order. We got the food, and as usual it was amazing. Absolutely stellar entrees. But something got mixed up in the kitchen and something sweet my kid ordered was seasoned savory, which just didn’t work. So I shot them an email, referencing my order number. I was expecting that they could double check to make sure no other orders had that issue, maybe give me a coupon for next time. No. A manager called me. Because of how far we are (30 minute drive), rather than reemploy DoorDash, he *personally* drove a fixed version of her item—plus extras—out to us. This was a smaller item, not her main food. We’d have been okay. But it made her birthday having the problem fixed. This is the best customer service I’ve received, and paired with the quality of the rest of the food and the fair prices, it pains me to say since they are a franchise, but Red Fort is quickly becoming my favorite Indian restaurant in the valley. Highly recommend.“

“Lucky Fins Seafood Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently revisited Lucky Fins in Meridian. In the past, I’ve been to the original location, which is the one in Meridian, as well as the one in downtown Boise, which has since closed. There is also a location in Greeley, Colorado. We started with an appetizer of Kickin’ Shrimp ($15) - Crispy shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy honey-chipotle sauce, served with a side of ranch and a lime wedge. Similar to Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp, but uniquely its own, this isn’t excellent appetizer! If you like spicy shrimp, it’s worth visiting for this dish alone. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos ($15) - Tempura battered and fried Arctic cod with shredded cabbage, chipotle aïoli, pickled onions, cojita, and micro cilantro. Served with cilantro lime rice, lime wedges, and choice of salsa. The fish tacos were bland and flavorless. I didn’t realize until I started to write this review that they came with a choice of salsa, but I don’t think that would’ve made much of a difference. I liked the cilantro lime rice. MW ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon ($29) - Center cut, grilled Arctic salmon on Northwest Cedar plank, seasoned with Rocky Mountain meat and fish rub, loaded smashers, grilled asparagus, charred lemon. MW liked the salmon dish, but would opt for something a little more interesting next time. For dessert, we shared Bourbon Bread Pudding, which came topped with ice cream ($10). It was good. The ambience and service were excellent!“

“We eat there frequently and the salad bar is excellent We have also enjoyed other meals including Cod. Today however, the Cod had absolutely no flavor. I tried to convince my mind that I was eating Cod, but there was no hint of flavor at all. My wife had the exact same opinion. I should have said something to the waitress. When we checked out I kindly mentioned that I generally don't complain about a meal, but that there is something wrong with there Cod. I wish I knew then what I know now. I asked Google what could cause Cod to be absolutely tasteless and it said that over cooking would drive all the flavor out. I'm sure now that was the case because both of our dishes were prepared with Cod that had a brown dried crusty coating on them. We were deeply dissapointed. It was the first lousy meal we have ever had there.“

“Best of Meats ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best of Meats aka BOM is a new meat-centric Boise-based food truck that serves Japanese charcoal grilled meat. They offer appetizers, mains, desserts and drinks. I visited for the first time on 11/12/20 and ordered a Grilled Platter. Platters come with two skewers of meat, seasoned rice, cabbage and house sauce. I wanted the beef tenderloin but they were out. I ordered one chicken thigh skewer and one pork tenderloin skewer ($13). That week, everyone who ordered a platter received a free Glazed Donut Ice Cream dessert. One of the owners heard me mention that I was bringing the food back to my office, he generously threw in two more skewers of meat for me to share with my coworkers. I and my three coworkers unanimously agreed BOM deserves a 5 star rating. I am no expert when it comes to Japanese charcoal grilled meat but the meat was high-quality, flavorful and tender. It was served on top of a generous bed of rice and cabbage with a delicious house sauce. The appetizers which consist of two meat skewers, would be perfect for those following a Keto or Paleo diet. Highly recommended!!!“

“absolutely delicious 🤤 one of my favorite restaurants now.“

“This place is the best in Meridian! The staff knows what customer service is, especially Alec and Emma! The food and choices are great! I’m not much of a drinker so go the there strictly for the food! and the service and vibe! Have and will recommend to everyone I know!!“

“I'm a Cajun from da mouth of the South (New Iberia, LA) and I approve of this place. We boil dem crustaceans in the seasoning, tho. Also, check out Louisiana Soul Bayou by the IMAX theater if you want legit Cajun food, made fresh by someone from my back of the woods!“

“Went to El Tenampa to celebrate my daughter's graduation from Boise State University. The main server was a great guy, Hispanic, in his 50s and struck me as someone who actually might be the owner. There were 10 of us yet we got seated within 3 minutes. The food was great and reasonably priced but the best part was this man's constant attention to us. He must have visited our table 15 times bringing food and refills on drinks. He addressed us as "amigos" and "primo" in the most friendly way. His love of working in this restaurant and serving the public was plain to see and he could teach a course on how to be an excellent server. I live over 400 miles away but his great service to our family on my daughter's special day will make me want to visit El Tenampa again!“

“The best menu I’ve found in Boise for gluten free options. The food was excellent! We had the chop ion soup, ahi blackened salad and salmon fillets. I can’t say when I’ve enjoyed a meal away from home more! And the portions, they were just right!“

“We had a really nice lunch today. We tried three appetizers. Two were huge! The fish and chips was just a bit on the salty side....but overall very good. Oh and the Espresso Torte is a MUST.“

“food was wonderful. service was top notch. they could use some sharper cutlery for their customers though.“

“This is our go to Mexican restaurant in the valley. The staff is TOP NOTCH!!! The food hits the spot (every time) and the booths are comfortable.

We had great experiences there regularly, I highly recommend you give this a shot.

Tip well, the staff works hard. If I was the owner, I’d be proud of how they carry themselves and how they treat the customers.“

“I ordered a large take-out order. My family loved everything!!! Very professional and excellent quality!!! Hot and ready on time!!!Thank you!!“

“Everything was amazing!! Great people work here and they create the best food...super fresh and delish!!!“

“The owner and staff were so friendly. The food was on point and I left full and def coming back!“

“You fired my daughter because she was not annoying enough! She was a hard worker and only 15. Good work for making a young person feel like crap. She tried hard and did extra work when she could. I think it's disgusting to fire a 15 year old that was so proud to work for you! Absolutely disgusting! She was trying to be respectful towards everyone! Aron, you are truly a real piece of you know what!“

“Low-key Chic!
My son took us to celebrate my birthday. What a wonderful experience. The service was impeccable. The food was extraordinary. Four people, two appetizers, four different entrees and two desserts. Everything was spot on, delicious.
The pace of the service is remarkable. Very attentive, yet relaxed, never felt rushed. We could actually hear each other and share conversation as we broke bread together. The wine library is a nice touch. The ambiance is very romantic. Perfect for date night or a nice family dinner. I really can't say enough, no notes. True fine dining.
Thank you for wonderful evening!
Looking forward to returning again and again.“

“Such a great place to eat!! Staff were even great!! :)“

“Family-style resturant with attentive staff and broad menu to please a wide range of tastes (incl. a selection of non-Mexican options). Our table went with fish, carnitas and el pastor tacos, yummy in themselves but might benefit from being served without rice and beans (or make optional)“

“FINALLY authentic Szechuan food in Boise! Delicious!!!“

“We went to Red Lobster tonight. The waitress was excellent. The food was hot, crispy and delicious.“
