Everything was excellent! The food was delicious, and our waiter, Skyeler, was wonderful. He was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, and really helped make our experience enjoyable. And a small thing that we really appreciated, plastic straws! We were so thankful not to have paper straws. We had a great experience and will definitely be back! read more

Headed to Bardenay in Eagle to celebrate my birthday with some family tonight. They arrived first and got us a table out on the patio. It was the most perfect day for outdoor seating. And with the view by the patio, how can it not be the most perfect setting to enjoy my birthday dinner. We just stuck with water since it was on the warmer side today. We just went straight in for dinner. As much as the appetizers sounded lovely, I was ready for the main event. So for dinner tonight I ordered the charboiled salmon with seasonal veggies in place of the salad. My salmon was plated beautifully with nice char marks on it. The veggies were a variety of squash and were sautéed nicely. And you can tell visually that they were seasoned nicely with spices and herbs. I dug right into my salmon. My first couple bites were delicious. I did spread some of the sun dried tomato butter on my salmon. The butter was fantastic! It added a nice flavor element to the salmon. After I ate about a a fourth of my salmon, I noticed that it was not cooked all the way through in the middle. With my new kidney, I can't have rare or undercooked fish. My immune system can't handle a parasite if the fish were to potentially contain any. I shouldn't have assumed that it was going to be cooked all the way since our server didn't ask how well I wanted it cooked. I did have to send it back and have another one remade. While my new fish was being prepared, my server gave me a small salad plate to transfer my veggies to. I got to work on them so I wasn't staring at my family eat. The veggies were cooked perfectly. They weren't overly soft or still raw. It had a nice bite to them while still being tender. Unfortunately, they were overly seasoned and was on the saltier side. I was hungry so I polished them off. But I did have to drink a good amount of water to help with the saltiness. Thank goodness the portion was on the daintier side. As hungry as I was, it would have been bad if it was a bigger portion. All that salt would not be good on my new kidney. My second round of salmon came out. Was it as pretty as my first plate, no but it will do. I'm sure they set the flame on high, let it sit on the grill for a while and then flipped it to cook the other side. I have cooked salmon well done plenty of times and have it come out tender. When you cook for a living, having cooking times for your dishes should be down to a science in your kitchen. Unfortunately, the salmon was super dry and flavorless. As hungry as I was, I ate it. The butter did help with the dryness of the salmon. But I shouldn't have to rely on butter to make the dish edible. For my birthday, I got a free dessert. I chose the gluten free carrot cake. My cousin eats a gluten free diet so I thought this cake would be perfect for all of us. I enjoyed the cake very much! The cake was moist. The spices in the cake were fragrant and very noticeable in each bite. I loved the frosting on the cake. Since the cake wasn't overly sweet, the frosting added a nice sweetness to it. I enjoyed the cake very much! Our server did a mid job. There were times when she would be gone for long periods of time and we had to wait for her. The patio was perfect with its stunning view. Dinner was ok but dessert was fabulous. Overall it was a decent experience. I do look forward to coming back and enjoying the outdoor patio with my husband for a date night. I just know now to make sure I vocalize everything to my server so I don't end up with dry salmon again. I do want to come back and have a better experience. read more

Great experience. Tasty fish and chips, great service, and I also loved the zero proof drink, although I forgot which one it was. It looked like a fancy cabin inside the place. read more

I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and when I cut into it, the poached egg was completely cooked through, no runny yolk at all. I mentioned it to our waiter, and his response was basically, "Oh yeah, I'll tell them." That was it. He didn't offer to replace it, have it remade, or adjust the bill. The seating also made the experience difficult. We were seated at a table right in the aisle, and because of the placement, we couldn't even move our chairs next to each other. It was so loud that we could barely hear each other across the table. I understand restaurants get busy and mistakes happen, but I was more disappointed by how the issue was handled than by the overcooked egg itself. When a customer lets you know that part of their meal wasn't prepared properly, I would at least expect an offer to make it right. Unfortunately, between the food, the seating, and the noise level, this wasn't the experience we were hoping for. read more

Good food. Good service and good ambiance. We had a big party and they accommodated us very well.

Love going to this restaurant! They have great menu selections, service is good and the food is always amazing! We really enjoy sitting outside on the patio near the water! We would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Oh my gosh I love this place!! What an incredible location with patio dining backed up to the greenbelt... the restaurant is nice! Pretty large and a hopping upscale sports bar vibe. They have an incredible menu! So much to choose from... our server was awesome and loved her recommendations! 2 of us had the sea bass with gnocchi and wow! Perfectly cooked, seasoned and portioned! My husband loved his pork chop! Also perfectly seasoned and cooked just right!! We sat for quite a while and were pretty much the last of the guests in the patio and the staff was so nice, checking on us and telling us to enjoy our time! I HIGHLY recommend dining here! read more

Bardenay served my Vietnamese sister-in-law chopsticks with her fettuccine Alfredo. She did not ask for chopsticks. Nobody at the table asked for chopsticks. Fettuccine Alfredo is an Italian dish eaten with a fork. The only reason she was given chopsticks is because she is Asian. This is racism. It may have been thoughtless rather than malicious, but the effect is the same: singling out an Asian person and treating her differently based on her ethnicity. It was embarrassing and dehumanizing, and it ruined what should have been an enjoyable meal. Update: Bardenay responded to the review I left on Google asking me to reach out -- then deleted their own comment. They had the chance to own it. Instead they hid. That's not a mistake. That's a choice. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Ohmigosh yes! Such delicious sweet potato fries and salmon. Also, their gnocchi is really good as well. I like how the ceasar salad even had a lil spicy flavor to it along with the fries. The waiter was super friendly. I loved where we sat, and even had some cute ducklings visiting us. read more

I have eaten here 3 times and every time I've had great service and excellent food. I love sitting on the patio next to the water watching the ducks. I highly recommend Bardenay Restaurant & Distillery. read more

It is one our favorite places!!! The ambience is wonderful and the service great. The spinach and pear salad was a nice balance of flavors. I love that it is offered as a side instead of the usual fries or dinner salad. I highly recommend. read more

I get the salmon every time I go and it is amazing! I also am obsessed with their chai chai again drink, I am nursing and my baby has a dairy allergy and they are also very accommodating with keeping the butter away from the salmon for me and the drink is made with almond milk which is perfect as well! This is our go to spot for birthdays! When I used to be able to eat their cheesecake I would get it every time as well, it's all so delicious! read more

Bardenay has quickly become a family favorite for family celebrations and honestly, I'm remiss since I haven't rated this place sooner. The only downfall to Bardenay is the lack of ability to make of a reservation. This was obvious when a rude party of 10 literally stopped their car in front of my daughter and me in the parking lot to jump out in their effort to beat us to the host station. People, chill....Bardenay has never let us down, even if there is a wait....no need to be a selfish jerk. But this isn't the restaurant's fault....but having the option to make reservations for large parties would probably limit these types of aggressive situations. The wait at the host station was inordinately long due to the large party, as they tried to figure out seating. There was only one person at the front trying to handle their obnoxious party, while the other 5 sets of people that came in after patiently waited. It took about 10 minutes to finally be seated, but it was worth the wait. Keana was our server...what a ray of sunshine, joy and rainbows. Adored every moment we had with her...prompt, thoughtful service, drink refills without asking for them and just a wonderfully positive experience overall. They were still serving the brunch/lunch menu at 11:30 am on a Saturday....it was actually hard to choose what to eat; everything sounded delicious. I opted for the Bardenay Club with fries and ranch dressing for dipping, husband had the tuna melt and daughter had the Caesar salad with chicken. Food came out quickly and correct to order. The Caesar salad was heavily dressed, but the dressing was so wonderful the amount of dressing wasn't an issue. Chicken was fork tender, bacon crispy and the tomatoes were diced to perfection. Utterly scrumptious. My club sandwich was layered with the same crispy bacon, tender stacks of turkey, ham and crunchy lettuce. All the ingredients sang in unison. Loved the fries and that herbaceous ranch dressing was the perfect kiss of flavor with the fries. Hubby had never had a tuna melt before and was pleasantly surprised with the grilled cheese like texture of the bread, melty cheese and fresh tuna salad. Service was top notch. Even though I didn't sit outside, the patio was pretty full....but the patio looked beautiful and the view was very serene from my vantage point. Can't wait to try the patio one day, but will always love my visits to Bardenay no matter where I sit (thank goodness they sat us far away from the very loud party of 10 so we could enjoy ourselves). read more

Went here on a whim. Got a great hefenweizen beer. Others had cocktails. Very good. Had the 14 oz. ribeye with tasty veggies and garlic mashed potatoes. My son had the French dip with bell peppers, cheese and onions. My grumpy granddaughter had fettuccine and became happy again. Sat outside by river. Very nice setting. Service was very good. Topped it off with cheesecake desert. Forgot the pictures of entrees. read more

Update: Ms Mary Stepanian, the manager at Bardenay, reached out to me and made things right. They know how to take care of their patrons. Excellent customer service! We brought my brother here while he was visiting from CA. We really like Bardenay. The food is usually good and we like to sit outside by the water. Today we came at about 3 pm. The place was not that busy. Instead of being shown to a table it was seat yourself, something we hadn't experienced before. Still, no problem. We waited a few minutes and our server, Summer, came over. She was nice, brought us waters, and took our order. We waited longer than usual for the food, and someone else brought it out. Summer never brought us silverware or napkins. My brother had the grilled chicken sandwich, my wife had the steak tacos and sweet potato fries, and I had the club sandwich with fries. My brother said he liked his sandwich, but for my wife and I, the food was cold. I suspect for my brother as well, but he didn't want to say anything. If it was just my wife and I, I would have sent our food back. However, I didn't want to make my brother uncomfortable. My wife said something to Summer at the end when my brother had gone to the restroom, and she acted surprised and said she would find out what happened. We know what happened. The food was not brought out when it was first ready. I don't blame the chef, I blame the server. This was disappointing, because we had talked Bardenay up to my brother. read more

Great outdoor patio and great happy hour ! Thank you. Food was delicious ! Nice place to enjoy date night read more

Let me just say that this place has been our favorite so far while in Idaho. It sits on the river and the views are gorgeous, as well as the restaurant itself. It was still decorated for Halloween, so festive. The service was amazing- so friendly, great recommendations and super attentive and kind. We had a splurge night tonight and the teens got various mocktails, I ordered the huckleberry lemon drop (which was by far one of the best drinks I have ever had) and a guava drink (that was decent). We ordered the cheese board to start, which in my opinion is such a nice addition to any menu, and everything on it paired well together. For our main course we ordered the French dip, which was honestly our least favorite thing, it was okay, but didn't compare to everything else we tried there. The Alfredo with added chipotle chicken as well as the mushroom tenderloin pasta (which was amazing, and one of the best pastas we have ever had). For dessert, my daughter ordered the chocolate lava cake, which she said was delicious. Overall, we absolutely loved our experience, service and the food and drinks were amazing. Also, everything is priced so reasonably. We would definitely go back. read more

This is a bar masquerading as a restaurant. My party arrived for a late brunch/early lunch. Those who ordered brunch were extremely disappointed. How can you mess up eggs and French toast? I don't know but they found a way. Those who ordered from the lunch menu didn't find it much better. Had we gone in thinking we were eating at a bar, we may not have been as disappointed. Still, not very good. read more

The ambiance and service is really good and probably most of their food. But I wouldn't order their Fish and Chips ( they have their own name for these) again. At a price tag of $17, the 3 piece fish was pretty thin (to make the illusion that there is an abundance of food on the plate). The coleslaw was also skimpy (with possibly 2 tablespoons worth) and an over abundance of French fries (a very inexpensive way to make the plate abundantly full). For the price, a better arrangement would be 4 pieces of fish, 5 tablespoons of coleslaw and half as many French fries. I will have to say in conclusion, this was the worse Fish (and Chips) meal I've ever had and I've had many (aged 73). read more

Pasta with the veal was delightful! Service was fast and on point. It was very loud inside but it was a Saturday night and a lot of people. This didn't affect our experience. I enjoyed the rustic brewery vibe as well. read more

Darcy was fantastic and wonderful food! The patio setting is really enjoyable, made a great evening!

Great job taking care of my family for our family dinner party. The service was great my two granddaughters had birthdays coming up so we celebrated their birthday. My salmon was just a little over cooked and delivered just barely warm. Thank you for a nice family party. read more

Great location and a pretty good chill place for a meal. Menu choices/portions and prices very fair. Service was great. Will go back for sure. read more

Absolute mediocre. Spinach pear salad was like eating newspaper, the fish and chips was an insult to the original, which looked, tasted and was proportioned NOTHING like the classic. 4 pieces of Cod, each the size of a potato chip, overcooked with twice the amount of breading compared to the amount of fish, which in hindsight I'm not even sure was cod. I've eaten here twice and will not return. Helpful staff, great location. read more

I'm a big Bardenay fan! It's great anytime of the day and with any form of company. You can bring family, friends, or coworkers here and everyone will leave happy. The service is great! Friendly and fast. And the menu is fantastic-they have something for everyone. On my most recent visit, my brother and I just stopped in for a quick bite and a drink and we both left feeling very satisfied with the whole experience. Do I personally think some of the menu is a tad over-priced? Absolutely. (But what restaurant isn't overpriced these days?) read more

My Husband and I had been looking forward to our Sunday after church date all week. We chose the Bardenay on Eagle because of the beautiful patio. We sat down and were "greeted" by our waitress who didn't even introduce herself. We tried to put in our drink order and she asked for our IDs. My ID had expired less than a month ago (and am waiting for an appointment at the DMV) and she told us she couldn't serve me. My husband asked her why that was a problem since I am above the age of 21 and she responded VERY rudely and said "it's expired" with more attitude than I've heard in a long time. We get up and say we will leave and she says very loudly BYE and walks inside. Upset, not about the drinks but about the attitude and service we leave. As we are driving home I called the restaurant asking for the manager and she practically excused everything our waitress did. To say the least we are VERY upset about this situation because we love this restaurant so much. read more

We came here for lunch, Bryan was an excellent waiter best service we've ever had and great food!!!

Love Bardenay, eat here frequently. Tonight the doors to the patio are open and it is Cold!! Btw our server Aaron is amazing. Shut the door it is 53F outside and I'm wishing I had a jacket. Food was good however it's too early to open the patio. read more

We frequently eat at Bardenay and always have great service and food. Not this past Tuesday 6/30. Service was horrible ..our food server was rude and lacked personality...very grouchy. The food was not good at all... everything was cold and flavorless. My steak was grey and looked like it was steamed cooked. Manager didn't seem to care. We had out of towners visiting and were highly disappointed. Just wondering if there had been a recent change in management because this was the worst experience we've had. read more

My wife and I have been dining at this establishment since it opened. My wife has lived here for 30 years and I've lived here for 20 years. After our experience tonight, I regret having ever referred our friends to this restaurant. I estimate (combined) my wife and and I have referred 75+ people to this restaurant. Up until tonight, our experience was always five stars. Tonight, we ordered our "go to" meal which is the trout, mashed potatoes, zucchini and caper cream sauce. Tonight on 9-11-25 at 7:00 pm.. not only was our portion 1/2 the size of what it has always been, but our trout was over cooked beyond recognition. Our zucchini was also 1/2 the normal portion and swimming in oil. I'm so deeply disappointed. Such a major bummer for those of us that aren't newbies to Boise. Just because some of the new people to town are used to be ripped off, doesn't mean that you should be stealing from those of us that know better. Shame on you!! read more

Came here for breakfast/brunch and what a beautiful experience! Sat outside on their deck and enjoyed the view. We ordered a biscuits and gravy, eggs Benedict and the roasted turkey sandwich. All of it was top notch especially the eggs Benedict! Looking forward to returning on our next visit to Boise! read more

Second time trying it on a recommendation. Fries and fry sauce make it worth coming here. Service was exceptional. Really nice casual place.

We ended up leaving after receiving NO SERVICE! During a time of seat yourself, we chose a high table near the bar and could not get the bartender or anyone else's attention, the bartender seemed to intentionally avoid looking for customers. Another table of two near us had gotten water, but we're also visibly annoyed with the complete lack of service. Abysmal failure for this restaurant! Not the first time we and others have left this failure! read more

Ok maybe this was on me since I ordered the fish and chips (fried cod) but it was sooo underwhelming. When they brought my fish out my heart literally sank breh. Instead of being a nice LIGHT, GOLDEN battered fish, it looked like a flat piece of DARK CROQUETTE. I wish I had a picture but I'm not kidding when I thought it was half of a fish, cut into strips, then hammered until flattened. I bit into it and it was like 90% batter/fried bread crumbs, 5% fish, and 5% oil. The fries to fish ratio was also off...i think they were trying to compensate for something. It was like fries with a side of fish. read more

Great location along the river and walkway, especially in the summer. Fast, good service. Our waiter checked in with us routinely. Food is a bit lacking and just ok. Brussel sprouts appetizer is good and had lots of of bacon bits. But is soaks in a sauce. Different than most and not bad, just different. Fish tacos were ok. Small chunks of fish instead of larger pieces. Lots of cabbage and lettuce, less fish. Chimichonga was also, just ok. Best part was the sweet potatoe fries. Delish. Would go back in the summer and try other things as the menu is full of options. read more

We ordered a steak dip and a salad, the services very subpar, the people working there were all way more focused on socializing with each other than serving the customers like a teenage hang out instead of a job. My wife ordered the steak dip with fries but didn't get fired and the steak dip was so bad she had three bites and was done with it. For such a hefty price point and fancy ambiance you would think the food would be a lot better, not going here again. read more
