The service was great. Those Bartenders know how to make a Cocktail. Wow! What a great Time!!

If you are looking for an awesome, friendly atmosphere with amazing food... you've found it! Bardenay is a favorite for me. Whether it's business or pleasure you can't go wrong, I'm always welcomed with a smile and made to feel they truly care about my visit. If something isn't satisfactory (which is rare) they make it right!! Thanks Bardenay! You guys rock! read more

Zero consistency......I've experienced near perfect service and food (which I come to expect from this establishment), but sometimes it feels like rookie training day.....I spoke to Vince the first time the Restaurant was off it's mark (1 year ago)....and he asked for a chance to make it right......and for several visits following, things were better....then yesterday, they had fallen off their average again. Unacceptable. Vince happened to be off that day, and the crew, were largely off par. Shame. I called Vince today (after first driving by to speak in person, when he was not in), and explained the events of yesterday's lunch visit, and to inform him, that was my last. read more

Impressed every time we visit! The bartenders are friendly and real, the drinks are great ( fun cocktails and great wine selection), Service is wonderful and amazing food especially for the price. Thanks for being so reliably delicious!! Our favorite place to go for a quick social drink or dinner. read more

Fantastic day with Mikey at the bar! Nothing beats the beautiful riverside dining at this welcoming restaurant. I cannot stress enough about the specials. Just order it! You will not be disappointed. read more

Pretty disappointed in tonight's experience and food. Had to send my plate back because the order was wrong. Came back wrong again. Still charged full price. Not okay. read more

Delicious food at a great price. Their happy hour skewers are a great bargain (full price not so much)

Massive drink menu. Amazing food and still chill enough to bring my kids. I love the chorizo sandwich and drink of choice has to be the basil instinct. read more

The food was only okay..I didn't think it was that great. The environment was interesting and different than most other restaurant that you'll find but I do remember being cold ain't being very loud, this could've been just bad timing on my part though. However I wasn't blown away by any means by my experience. read more

Great location and food. Back deck makes for a lovely evening dinner. Great bar atmosphere but still family friendly. Great beer selection and must have clams. Servers and bartenders are also very friendly. read more

Awesome spot. All dishes are great. Good choices of beer, wine and cocktails.

Our recent trip to Bardenay was awesome thanks to an amazing bartender Caroline. Despite being incredibly busy she made us feel like we were the only customers. She is personable, extremely efficient and made our first experience there incredible!!! read more

Worst bar ever.... Not a great selection of beer.. horrible service... 3 bartenders who were more concerned about have their own conversation then actually tending to their customers... Waited 15 for the bartender to even notice we we're done and ready to leave because he was more interested in his conversation with his female coworker... Will never go back there again... Have never been to a bar with such horrible service.. beautiful Bar.. such a shame it has horrible service read more

My daughter came in from Seattle and wanted to go (at the last minute) on a recent Saturday to a nice place to celebrate her new job. With 9 of us it was impossible to get last minute reservations at any of my tried and true favorites, so after checking reviews, I decided to go to the Eagle Bardenay. I am sure glad I did! We walked in at about 5:30 and the staff gladly moved tables together for us and we were seated immediately. Service was prompt and our waitress was so professional and fun at the same time. Drink orders came out promptly followed quickly by our appetizers and entrees. Even though the restaurant filled up quickly after our arrival, our waitress followed up with drink refills and checkups on us the entire time we were there. Food taste and quality was remarkable considering the cost was quite reasonable. Favorite choices were pork tacos with amazing homemade kimchi. Not authentic but oh so delicious! The salmon portion was huge and perfectly cooked and the seasoning was sooooo good it was a party in my mouth. Everyone else loved their choices and we enjoyed our stay. The room did get noisy as it filled up, but it was not intolerable. I wish it was possible to get reservations as by the time we left there were people waiting to get seated. read more

I'm really surprised this place isn't rated higher. My sister and I met my friend from Boise here during my road trip out to Seattle, WA and was extremely impressed with this place. They had a good array of drinks (particularly in terms of beer) and a lot of delicious food to choose from. I settled on the pear spinach salad, which is tossed in shallot vinaigrette and comes with crumbled gorgonzola cheese, diced pears, and balsamic-orange glazed walnuts. You can add shrimp, salmon, or chicken for an additional charge. I added the salmon and it was SO worth it. They basically added a whole salmon filet, which was incredible. I could not believe the portion and how great it went with the salad. My sister went with the fan favorite and ordered the black bean and sweet potato chimichanga, which comes with Mexican Cotija cheese, sweet potato puree, corn and black bean salad with cilantro, onion, and bell peppers. It was served with mango salsa and chipotle spiked sour cream. I took a bite and it was very good. I finished my meal with their vanilla bean cheesecake, which was a VERY good cheesecake. I thought the graham cracker crust was delicious. Absolutely no regrets with that dessert. In sum, a very delicious lunch and great break from my road trip. I can't wait to return. read more

I've been to Bardenay twice while visiting on business. Since I'm by myself I sat at the bar both times. My first visit I I did not order off the Happy Hour menu but it looked like really good prices for good food. Their menu has a wide variety of options. I ordered the black bean and sweet potato chimichanga. I really enjoyed the food and the service was decent, but nothing to write home about. The restaurant had a strong and off-putting smell, I'm assuming because it is a distillery. It took me a while to get over the aroma. Went back last night and ordered the tuna sandwich, which was dry and flavorless, and the soup of the day - a Hungarian mushroom. The soup was really flavorful and I would definitely recommend it, but that is all I can say for my recent visit. My waitress/bartender was too busy doing side work to ask how I was doing or see if I needed anything. She didn't check in with me once during my meal, even while standing right in front of me prepping for the bar. Someone else cleared my plate and offered me dessert. Overall Bardenay is worth a try. They have a lot of potential. read more

This is usually a favorite place. I realize it is busier now during the holidays, but the service was very slow tonight. There were 2 of us and we were there 2 1/2 hours. Although the steak I had was very good, the side (gnocchi) was very hard and cold. I told the server and the person who brought and took plates away. No one seemed to care one way or the other. It will be awhile before we go back. read more

A close friend who truly knows fine food from gastro pub to haute cuisine and now lives in the North End of Boise recommended Bardenay, and my partner had been to their Boise location with her and enjoyed it so we went so I could try their burger and share my findings on Yelp. It's a great looking place, masculine, sophisticated and very comfortable. They've got a gargantuan patio that sits along the rivers edge and makes mighty fine al fresca dining when weather permits. It's casual enough that customers pick and choose where they want to eat and it worked fine on weekday at 2:00 PM so we found an empty 4 top mostly in the sun although it was fast eclipsing as the sun went over the roof top. We had a great server who was super attentive when we wanted or needed him, and invisible when we didn't. It's an interesting menu that is heavy Mediterranean with plenty of room for casual Californian. The appetizers just didn't sound appealing so we went straight to my burger and my guests Salmon ka bob which loved and was quite generous. I ordered their burger with Swiss cheese and fries but could have got sweet potato fries, a small dinner salad or a small Caesar. I asked that it be cooked medium and that's exactly what I got. The burger came on a standard white china plate with a mound of piping hot house cut fries, and after making a dent in the fries I found three small slices of sweet pickle and about half a slice of red onion. I lifted off the top half of the bun and although it was perfect for the meat, dairy, produce and condiments it contained, it would have soared if it was toasted or briefly grilled. The Swiss cheese was generous and perfectly melted and the meat was cooked nicely. I asked for Mayonnaise and a ramekin of room temperature, creamy and bland sauce appeared and it was mediocre at best. There seemed to be no sauce or produce on the burger so I assumed they didn't offer either, until I reduced the pile of fries and discovered the above mentioned pickle slices and meagre slice of onion. all in all it was a quite good cheeseburger, not one I could rave about, but well conceived and executed with high quality makings and fixings. I recommend Bardenay and hope they notch it up a bit. read more

Nice food, nice drinks. Not great, but not bad. Worth going to, and reliable food and service, just not one of our go to places.

Just had a great soup, bean & chorizo at Bardenay. Servers were super nice and seemed on top of their game. Nice atmosphere except the place is pretty noisy. Looking forward to warmer weather when you can sit outside on the large patio. Nice location close to the Boise River. read more

Good food at good prices and big selection of drinks. I'm a fan of the Huckleberry Lemon Drop!

The Salmon is always cooked perfect at this lovely riverside restaurant. Something I can't say for other Boise restaurants! The drink menu is divine and is what keeps us going back to try the new selections. Even the busboys are polite, watching diligently to whisk away any distracting dirty dishes when you have finished. Kudos boys! read more

We ate here for a number of years. Loved the summers and eating outside. This is the prime people watching restaurant in Eagle.....after that enjoy medoicre bar food. One bright spot is the hot Trout dinner....very resonable on price and very good.....after that...enjoy something. read more

I used to go to both the downtown and Eagle Bardenay at least once if not more per week until they stopped carrying Splenda. I know it sounds dumb, but I love ice tea and diabetic - Splenda is the only sweetener I like. I brought my own for a while, but got tired of it. I figured that since I spent between $100-$150 in per week (family and clients) that I did not need to pay for my own Splenda. I would also like a bottle of ketchup vs the rationed ketchup cups. I always need more and then have to wait - sometimes for a long time if they are busy. Bottom-line, Bardenay is good - but, they do not offer the little extras to put them above the competition. read more

Love both downtown and Eagle locations. Would like to see Saturday and Sunday brunch in Eagle. Have not had a bad meal there. Service is usually great. Love the Albacore Tuna, portobello mushroom sandwich and the salmon filet. The pork chop is amazing. So glad Eagle has hostess seating. We eat there more often in the weekends because of that. read more

One of our go-to's! Consistently friendly service, yummy food and great prices. When my parents visited from CA they wanted to go here for every meal - they were that impressed. Love the building and the view outside can't be beat. Manages to be both casual and classy at the same time. Noise level may be a bit high but honestly that is one of the things we like about it, as we have a 3 year old :) read more

This is a very busy place anytime--lunch or dinner! The food is very good, the service as well. My only complaint is that it's very noisy and sometimes hard to have a conversation. However I was here recently with my brother and had a delicious meal at lunch time. We were able to talk without screaming at each other. I had the burger special with sweet potato fries and it was such a huge amount I ended up taking half of it home. We were eating the fries for a few days and they were yummy! Burger was great also! I like the salads here as well. When the weather is nice the patio area is a good place to sit and enjoy a meal. read more

We were in/Eagle visiting my wifes family and they suggested we go to Bardenay for dessert and drinks. We get there and sit near the bar area. The whole purpose of our visit was to try the carrot cake which we heard was the best around. When we get around to ordering we find out there is no carrot cake because their distributor did not deliver any that morning. Of course I was disappointed but oh well, I end up ordering the pineapple upside down cake. My wife and her family that was with us decide to order a bottle of the Moscato D'Asti to share. The pineapple cake comes and it is dry and disgusting. My wifes uncle orders the chocolate cake which comes out looking like a Ding Dong except with out the aluminum foil. When the wine comes, instead of one big bottle, we get two small bottles. Why, because we are told they are out of the regular sized bottles. We were specifically told by our waitress that we would only be charged for the one regular bottle size since it was their fault they were out and had to give us two smaller bottles. Of course when the bill comes we are charged for the two smaller bottles which is significantly more than the one regular bottle that we ordered. We remind our waitress what she told us and she goes back to talk to the bartender. Ends up since we got 4 glasses instead of 3, we get charged for both bottles. Does this make sense? The waitress doesn't seem willing to adjust our bill even though she assured us originally that we would only be charged for the regular bottle that we ordered. Instead or arguing we just pay he bill and leave, wasn't worth it. Needless to say we won't be going back next time we are in the area. read more

Just ok which is such a shame since atmosphere and menu concepts should result in higher ratings...unfortunately food execution is below par. For example "homemade coconut cake" was tough and dense both from overmixing batter to storing in the refrigerator too long. Beef in the pita sandwich was very tough and nor chewable in the sandwich. With a little more attention to detail this place could go from mediocre to great. read more

Worst brunch I've had in a while. It is really too bad. Dinner here is great. Everything was over cooked. Disappointing.

I had the fish tacos and they were incredibly tough. Great location but the food has been below par the last couple of times.

Had breakfast there this morning the food was burned and late and expensive for what I got never been so disappointed in me and all my life also very bad service have had lunch there and been quite satisfied but their breakfast it was disappointing read more

Great atmosphere for meeting friends or entertaining clients. Food and service is consistently good. I believe this has been, and remains, the best price value restaurant in the Treasure Valley. Recommend the plank salmon! read more

I have been coming to Bardenay for about a year now and I have never been disappointed with the food and also have never been disappointed with the service up until now. My girlfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary last night and we were so excited to go because Bardenay is our favorite place. When we got there we seated ourselves and a waitress came to us quickly asking for our preference on drinks, it seemed like before we could even get out a word the waitress just said I will get you two water while you look at the menu and ran off. When the waitress came back we ordered drinks and an appetizer she never once even looked at us smiled or anything she made us feel like we were bothering her. We got our food and we ate and she did check on us twice but what bothered me the most was another couple sat at the table next to us and that same waitress greeted them and made small talk and smiled with them and waited for them to order drinks? (It was not a busy night at all) At the end of the night she came to us with the bill and i pulled out my card and she ran it on her card reader and turned it around with the tip selections I was so bothered because I wanted this to just be a nice day and experience for my girlfriend and I but that waitress made it into probably the worst experience I have had at Bardenay I can honestly say I was a little torn on whether to leave a tip or not. I did though reluctantly and a good one too. I can't say all was bad the food was amazing as usual but I don't know I am still bothered by the whole experience to be honest I don't know if I will go back.i just hope Bardenay stays on top of how their waitresses treat guests because this just wasn't ok. read more

Always great food. Great atmosphere and servers are very nice. The salmon entree with the cesar salad is super good...

Go here for lunch often, it's always quick service and great food! Love that they have more than just one vegetarian option.

One of our go-to spots. Gorgeous atmosphere in the spring/summer on the patio overlooking the river. It can be too noisy inside for some but the food/drinks are so consistently good it doesn't bother us. read more

Great food. I had the Kobe beef tacos and a mojito. The bugs did start coming out as the sun went down as we were eating on the patio. Still a great location, just a little preemptive bug spray needed. read more

We walked over from the hotel next door and met up with a friend. We were cheerfully greeted by the hostess and sat quickly. Our serve was very polite and explained to us the menu, answered our questions and quickly brought us our water and our drinks. I tried the Red Panda which was pretty good. We had a great dinner and found the food very tasty and delicious! My husband and local guest had the steak wrapped in bacon and they both said it was was wonderful. I had a pasta dish that was really good. We enjoyed our dinner and we later walked back over for a night cap outside on the patio once the weather cooled down. The service was great and the food was worth the walk for sure! We came back our last night in town and I ordered the Blacked salmon with lettuce wedge. Oh my it was soooo good! Our server wasn't the friendliest person. But she got the job done and the food made up for it. We never waited for our drinks or food and the food was so good we didn't care! If in town or in the area I would recommend this place! We can't wait to drive back 9 hrs to eat there again. read more

Terrific place for the locals in Eagle. The food is solid, the service good, and the environment clean. Terrific prices as well.
