    Was pleasantly surprised by the food here. They have a happy hour with food and drink specials. We came in for a wine tasting, which was pretty good. Food was good and the server was attentive. It took a little while to get our check and pay and they weren't busy at all. I would definitely try it again. It's spacious inside with a big bar area.

    The best server ever
    Kevin W.

    Cailin is the best server ever! She brought a ton of energy and made the visit memorable. I was here for a company event and everything was amazing. For drinks, I got a marshmallow old fashioned that had smoke and a toasted marshmallow and a wine and whiskey concoction. Both drinks were a good balance of taste and strength. I can barely remember any of the food. I think I had a nacho, hot cheetos wing, and a chicken slider. Food was not bad but not that good either.

    This seriously had the best burger! The service was excellent!!!! You've got to try the oyster mushroom with buffalo sauce. I could eat plates and plates of these mushrooms! Five star service

    Chicken sandwich, Hibiscus sparkling drink
    Sabina M.

    Maybe this was just a rough day for them, I had a team lunch at the Boardwalk where I excitedly ordered their crispy chicken sandwich. To my surprise, this sandwich came drenched in a BBQ sauce that I didn't quite enjoy and caused the rest of my meal to be a bit disappointing. I also had their sparkling hibiscus-lemonade which I liked a bit, and their arugula salad which I liked a lot. Their service was great and the ambiance is perfect for an informal team get-togeth

    Burger

    The absolute BEST cheddar garlic waffle fries -- portions are massive and so good I always have to get these when I come here! Their happy hour deals are great and everything I've tried has been amazing. I was really pleasantly surprised by how good the burger was too, super juicy and very well seasoned on a soft and pillowy brioche bun. Definitely worth a visit!

    Cauliflower wings, buffalo wings and cheddar garlic waffle fries

    The food is what you would find at The Rock or Hard Rock cafe. We got the fish and chips (with flat french fries), cauliflower and buffalo wings, Mac and cheese, grilled asparagus with soft boiled egg, hamburger, chicken burger and ice cream sandwich with molly moon ice cream or affogato. Service was good. Food was ok. Lots of tables and chairs to sit at.

    - great place for happy hour options, they have burgers/sliders, loaded fries, nachos that are pretty tasty. It might be difficult to find a table past 5/6 but just come early and be flexible. warning, the place is pretty loud indoors and you might be talking loudly to hear your companion as well. it's a good place to get some work done as well; I saw some people with laptops and working.

    The smash burger with fries is really great The fries are between a little bit like chips, but softer and crispy The burger has good patty and the bun is soaked with butter Love it

    Really enjoyed a quick dinner here while visiting the Microsoft campus. The interior design is prefab, but that's to be expected given the location. The space a light and open, with lots of different spaces for hanging out to catch a drink or sit and have a bite. We ordered off the happy hour menu. I got the Mac and cheese with chicken added on the server's recommendation. The Mac and cheese was good, although could definable been cheesier. The grilled chicken was a great addition though - really nicely seasoned and char-grilled. The staff is super friendly and attentive and everything is clean. Would definitely stop here again when visiting!

    Cod & fries
    Sheri H.

    Overpriced food with small portions. My fish and chips showed up with 1 piece of cod - this is not enough food for a meal, folks. The salad it claimed it came with was a clump of greens with olive oil drizzled on. Seriously. The cod was cooked well, but can't really destroy fried fish. $18 pretax for this, UGH. When it comes to having something to drink that isn't alcoholic, they were all out of the really cool root beer the waiter raved about to me. Then he told me they don't have a full bar so he couldn't make a Roy Rogers. Then he told me they didn't have Dr. Pepper. "Tell me what you have that is not alcohol, tea or coffee," I asked him. He told me about some lemonade spritzer none of us had ever heard of, and I said I'd try it. It was awful, so he said he wouldn't put it on the check. Menu is limited, and everything is expensive. Note that this is on the Microsoft corporate campus, but is open to the public. Parking is a bit of a beast and via the parking garage, but you'll have to register your car with reception before you can go to the restaurant. Food: 2 Service: 4 Ambiance: 3 Parking: 3

    The 'campus' bar
    Paul L.

    The campus bar... Microsoft campus Ambience: 4 Food: 4 Drinks: 4 Value: 4 Boardwalk is the Microsoft campus bar. Situated in the Microsoft Commons, next the sports field, this is the only place on Microsoft campus to get a drink. In fact, I think you might need a badge to get in during business hours. Of the typical modern hipster style, the interior is quirky and innocuous. The food is pretty good, fries are crispy, sauces are savory, and the portions are decent. The drinks are even, dare I say it, a bit eccentric. With a cherry infused Manhattan and a spicy Serrano margarita, it's actually not bad. Most of all, it's very nicely priced at happy hour, with cocktails around $8. This is overall a really good place to go for a happy hour drink... if you don't mind being surrounded by Microsofties.

    Salad with Kale
    Hazel K.

    Had a great time here! Was greeted as soon as I walked though the door, grabbed my drinks at the bar and sat down to an amazing meal. Was brought here by some folks who work for Microsoft so was a bit tricky finding the place but really enjoyed the food and drinks. Ordered some delicious food, was checked on multiple times about the food and if we needed anything else. One of the best Caesar salads I ever had in my life!! HANDS DOWN! Cheese was so finely graded, greens tasted fresh and dressed perfectly. Everyone I was with had a great time (as we do get kinda loud and crazy so not so packed bar/restaurants are perfect for me and my loud and obnoxious friends) and here on a Friday night was very enjoyable. Will be coming back for sure!

    Bellevue Brewing Company - Spring District Brewpub - Chips Trio (cheese, salsa, and guacamole)

    Bellevue Brewing Company - Spring District Brewpub

    (184 reviews)

    $$

    I love going to local brewpubs and microbreweries when traveling. So when I saw this location of…read moreBellevue's largest microbrewery, my wife and I had to stop in for an early lunch with a sampling of beers. The food and beers were great. As the name states, the very large brewpub is located in the Spring District, inside the park/greenspace. The district used to be an industrial area, that has been transformed into a mixed residential/retail area, centered around the light rail transit station. The brewery makes great use of the outdoor space, with a lot of seating for an impromptu biergarten on nice days. This Tuesday was a typical March day in Seattle, which meant dining inside was a must. We ended up finding street parking a couple of blocks away, though they do have validated parking: in the underground parking right below (with under 10 dedicated spots) and the bigger Spring district Parking garage nearby. Amanda was our server, and she was super friendly, giving us suggestions. They have a large selection of house brewed beers, and we chose eight of the non-IPA ones as two flights, consisting of 4 5oz glasses (assuming it cost $12). We tried the Harvest Boom P.O.G. Wheat (this was our favorite one), Bothell Brown (liked this one), Snake Charmer Irish Red (strangely very mild for a Red), ChugMeister Mazren Lager (my second favorite). Second flight consisted of 1882 Pre-Prohibition Lager (very crisp and light), Muckle Flugga Scotch Ale (really like Scotch Ale in general, though hard to find on the West Coast...thought this version was OK), Schwarzbier Black Lager (different, very mild, really enjoyed), and a Der Kommissar Pilsner (super light with no body). I don't think I've been able to choose two flights of non-IPA in-house beers before...they keep a very large selection here, and it's worth coming to, just for the draft beers. We ordered some bar food that both of us like, and each plate was excellent. Shareable thick cut fries ($11) was very filling, especially since they were fried very well and were sturdy enough for dipping. Got Scotch Ale Chili ($13) and it was hearty, with plenty of pinto beans and good ground beef, with not too much chili powder. It came with housemade tortilla chips, which were thin and excellent. Wanted to try their beef birria, ordered their birria Nachos ($19) and it was really well prepared. Everything was diced into small pieces, used a really good beer cheese sauce and the the fresh guacamole was solid. For a brewpub, it has excellent bar food. The portions were large...we ended up taking about half of it home. Next time, will stay longer and try some of their main course dishes. The room was modern with plenty of windows for natural light. The central bar is huge, but there are plenty of bar tables as well, letting patrons decide how they want to dine/hang. My only complaint was that the payment process was at the table with only a tablet, and gave me no chance to look at the receipt. The total seemed right and was expecting a chance for receipt, but Amanda grabbed the tablet after my tip and signature before I could ask for a digital receipt, and then disappeared. I suppose I could have tracked her down, but getting a receipt after a meal should not be that hard. Can't remember the last time I was out, and couldn't get a receipt easily...would have made this review a bit easier.

    This is definitely my favorite eastside brewery - if not Seattle area brewery in general. Not sure…read morehow I haven't posted a review before!? I'm not a huge IPA fan, but they always have something malty or lager-like on the menu, too. Food is, IMHO, solid. Burgers are good, the fish and chips can be greasy but are usually quite good. Wife seems to like the chili and gluten-free pizzas. Staff are always awesome characters with a (fun, good) personality. Usually some game is on the TVs, and depending on time of day/week/year the crowd varies. Go visit. Breweries are closing because the younger generation's drinking less. You don't have to drink a ton, just support a local place with good food, vibe, and drinks (there's plenty of NA things).

Safe to say that everyone loved it and now I'm getting ready to book another party after multiple requests. The food is 7/10 - I loved the fried pickles and I had a couple wings which were good, but I'd try something different next time. Others ordered sandwiches and other sides and seemed to like them. The service was great as the KJ got all our names added to the karaoke list before he even got his set-up running. We also had a great server (I forgot his name - so sorry!!! I think it might have been Ian??) who started us off with a couple food orders and our initial drink order. The expectation was set for us that we would get a better experience going to the bar whenever we want another drink/add more food to our tabs. I love that they were honest about this from the get-go because it gets CRAZY crowded on a Saturday night and our tables were adjacent to the dance floor. Excellent people-watching entertainment. Karaoke starts at 8pm, our party got there at 7pm. Karaoke process here is that the KJ puts your name on a list, you give him your song when it's your turn, your name stays on the rotation until you tell him you're done. There are A LOT of names in the rotation. I sang my first song at 8:15 and my second song after midnight, everyone in between only sang once. Get there early if you want to sing early.

When in Kirkland, this is definitely a place to try. The flavors are unique and shouldn't be missed.
