    Cant say too much since only had ceasar salad. They have some nice options for vegeterian but would recommend some halal items too. Staff was nice, located like inside MSFT campus

    Kristin C.

    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!

    For a restaurant on microsoft campus, they make it extremely difficult for coworkers to split a bill.

    I really dig this place - been a handful of times, both the NA and boozy cocktails are well done…read more Bar staff is knowledgable with a very well equipped bar - on a recent visit my wife didn't see anything that caught her mood and they happily made something else for her. Food has always been good, from apps to mains. I don't think I've had a burger here, yet...most recently I had the fried chicken, which had been well marinated and cooked - juicy, flavorful, plentiful. Vibe is always chill, here. Now that the weather's warming up, outdoor seating is available. I usually make a reservation, but my sense is for a couple one could almost always walk in without a rez and get seated quickly. One of my favorite east-side places...if it was a little closer to me I'd be there all the time!

I wasn't feeling like a big entree but I put together a fun little meal out of their falafel bites and tomato soup- both were really good. I appreciated that the service folks made sure I got some extra toasted bread with my soup. A coworker got the buttermilk fried chicken and it was an impressive serving. Also loved the extensive selection of whiskey, cocktails, and non alcoholic cocktails. Non alcoholic options really allow anyone to relax with a drink. But not me I had woodinville rye whiskey because it's a local fav. OH! They sell hotdogs here and that's awesome cause it's hard to find a good hotdog place- and these hotdogs are made of freakin waygu beef.

    Fun dive bar! Cozy…read moreenvironment. My friends and I stopped by after a wine tasting nearby and wanted to get some food and more drinks, of course. This was the best spot for exactly that! They have karaoke every night, cider on tap (my fav) and a full menu!

    A few months back I reserved a few tables at this place for a company karaoke party on a Saturday…read morenight with all managers (risky). 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.
