Epi's A Basque - Meridian

I had no idea it was a Basque Country restaurant in Boise, Idaho. This place opens only 5 days a week for dinner. The kitchen from a region of Spain and France. This is how food is like Spanish tapas and French cuisine. The croquetas is a little too salty for me. The shrimp and rice cream soup is pretty good. The halibut is good. Steak is tender.

This is a legitimate can 't miss when visiting Boise. Recommended to me by my local coworker who is Basque. I ordered exactly what she told me to order--croquetas, tongue and bread pudding. It was all delightfully unique and satisfying. Quaint dining room has a European feel to it. I was a single rider on a Wednesday night, so I had no trouble getting in. Well worth enduring the awful traffic on Fairview to get to Meridian.

Visiting with my daughter, we went to dinner here. The service was excellent, the wait staff was very friendly and very on top of things. The food was delicious. I had lamb stew, one daughter had leg of lamb, and the other one had the beef meatballs. Almost more food than we could manage. We shared a dessert because we wanted to try at least one of them. We chose one that was like a cake with lemon cream and topped with a raspberry sauce. It was sooo good. Go to experience a nice evening and enjoy the food, but do expect to pay for it. All things considered, it was worth it!

I bring all my visitors here because I KNOW the food, service and total experience will always be excellent. The calamari is some of the best I have every tasted and some of my guests say it is the best. Sometimes I dream of that calamari. I've had the scallops, halibut, steak medallions and meatballs. All perfect with the scallops my favorite. Dessert also good, too. We share dessert and always have to have some of the entree to take home, which doesn't usually last long after we are there. I feel so lucky to have this gem in my town.

What an amazing dining experience! The atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxing. The restaurant smells so good! My wife ordered the halibut and it was cooked to perfection. I had the rib eye and it is the best steak I have ever had. With entrees you get a generous amount of bread, soup, salad and 2 sides. Very friendly staff and the owner, Erik, is all over the place visiting with customers, working in the back, making sure his restaurant is firing on all cylinders. Love seeing the pride of ownership in the food served and atmosphere of the restaurant. Highly recommend Epi’s !
