In 2011, we had a vision of a restaurant that offered fresh, bold seafood. Our vision was somewhat new to the Idaho food business (seafood and sushi in the land of potatoes, whaaaa?!), but we combined our collective culinary experience then rallied our most trusted friends and colleagues to make a lifelong dream come true. And voilà! The first Lucky Fins was founded in Meridian, Idaho.

After opening a third Lucky Fins in Downtown Boise in 2013, we felt there was more to aspire to within our brand. As a company who truly values feedback, we recognized one primary remark: guests loved the restaurant but had certain friends or family who were not fans of sushi or seafood. This was a great opportunity for our chefs to demonstrate culinary skills developed while training in the South and on the East Coast. The team began experimenting with creative, non-seafood dishes and dropping these dishes off at the diners’ tables for feedback. From smoked ribs to Southern-style Nashville Fried Chicken, the response was overwhelmingly positive.

For our fourth location in Littleton, Colorado, we couldn’t consider this another “Lucky Fins” restaurant — because menus provided dishes that other locations didn’t offer. So, we got creative. That is when six Smokin’ Fins locations were born — in the Denver area, Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Chandler, Arizona (near Phoenix).

Zen Baja was the latest concept in the Fins family and offers a trendy, fast, hip, and modern way to eat your favorite Asian and Latin-inspired dishes and brings them together all in one place. Located on Broadway Ave. in Boise (near BSU), the restaurant provides a wide variety of bowls, tacos, and sushi rolls, all for a steal of a deal.

Acero is our latest venture. An upscale yet approachable dining experience in downtown Boise that boasts beautiful bruschetta boards, creative charcuterie boards, and a unique wine selection, Acero is a truly unique dining experience. Located in the heart of the Grove, Acero is a wonderful place to meet friends for a casual cocktail, enjoy a variety of shareable small plates, and even indulge in a little sweet treat. From boards, to flatbreads, to pasta, Acero provides quality food with a beautiful aesthetic.

Our roots may be in seafood, but we've ventured out into many different concepts. We love great food, and we're passionate about sharing that with our local communities.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

Veteran Status

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.
