“ My wife and I were looking for somewhere new to try and were reeled in by the “Now Open” sign. The seafood boil was great. Craig was our server and had several superb recommendations of how to really enhance the meal (I wouldn’t have thought to add broccoli on my own - game changer). Thanks for your expertise Craig! My wife greatly enjoyed her shrimp Po-boy sandwich and their fries are addicting. The food was hot, everything was fresh and well presented. Five stars. -Bryce M. ”
“ Miranda was amazing! The food, wow what to say. So good! The crab chowder had clams in the shell inside..the best my husband has had in years! Halibut and fries and shrimp and fries! So very good. All at an amazing price...we will be back. Thank you for a memorable and very enjoyable meal. ”
“ I would absolutely eat here again, however I am still a bit confused on what it actually IS. The photos on Google and the name is a bit misleading. It's a restaurant that is primarily seafood (like seafood boil), but has some other items as well. Evidently it also serves as an event space? It was decorated throughout the restaurant as Alice in wonderland. It's unclear to me if this is always the case. I'm also not sure how you know if they are closed for an event or if the restaurant is open. Regardless! The crab boil and clam chowder was excellent and I totally recommend! The service was friendly and it was relatively quick considering the cuisine. ”
“ I popped into Country Bay Bistro for brunch today and was immediately impressed by the welcoming vibe and charming decor. The service and food truly elevated the experience. I chose the corned beef brisket, which was not only beautifully presented but also exceptionally tender. Additionally, the fact that it's a family-owned and operated business added a special touch. I thoroughly enjoyed my brunch and am eagerly looking forward to returning for their seafood boil. ”
“ The food here is amazing!!! Chef Jason has the freshest seafood. The atmosphere is just as amazing. Truly a beautiful space for dinner or an event!!! ”
“ After waiting for a long time to be served (waitress was apologetic), the service was friendly and helpful. Flavor and quality looked great. I ate a whole pound of clams in garlic butter. The corn on the cob was excellent as well, and I'm not usually a fan of that. Washed it all down with an amber from Sockeye. Cheesecake with caramel drizzle didn't disappoint. We went on a Wednesday and it was almost empty. The food and atmosphere deserve to attract more customers. ”
“ We stopped in for lunch and ordered the crab dip , with fish and chips and clam chowder on the side. Our service was really excellent, and the manager Jason personally came to our table and asked if we were enjoying everything. And wow! The food is really excellent seafood. We couldn’t believe the generous portion sizes that were also very well priced. We highly recommend the crab dip, you won’t regret it. Come to Country Bay Bistro ready to eat an amazing meal! ”
“ We were just passing through Boise and looking for dinner, found this restaurant on Google maps and we love what we ordered ”
