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.

Oyster mushroom with buffalo sauce

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
Katherine G.

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
Yen D.

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.

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!

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

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!

Black Bottle is surprisingly vegetarian-friendly, which was extremely helpful during my completely…read moreself-invented colon-cleaning regimen--a medical program designed by me, for me, with absolutely no professional supervision. The vegetable dishes were excellent: flavorful, well-prepared, and apparently packed with enough fiber to move several years of unresolved business through my digestive system. By the end of the evening, my bowels had entered what I can only describe as "Super Slide" mode. This was not ordinary diarrhea. This was an express-lane evacuation. Waste did not merely leave my body; it checked out early, skipped the front desk, and fled the premises without saying goodbye. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive, and my colon emerged feeling lighter, cleaner, and emotionally available. Highly recommended for vegetarians, food lovers, and anyone whose lower intestine needs a firm but flavorful motivational speech.

There's a menu section that filters all their items based on dietary restrictions, so it was pretty easy to find items that fit her dietary needs. The aguachile was fresh and bursting with flavor, the chilies were really well-seasoned, but the duck was the real standout. So well-seasoned, tender, and that cranberry sauce?! Did not expect to like it as much as I did. We also got some mocktails which were yummy and hit the spot! Docking off one star just because the price was pretty steep for the portion, but otherwise was a nice spot.

The burger is thick and really juicy, great bun and aioli. The fries are perfectly crispy. The pizza had a really great, I'm assuming wood-fired, crust. The duck was tender and sweet and there was a lot of arugula. It's a sparser craft pizza, which is just so delicious when you are looking for something a little heavy but not over the top. While they boast about their craft beer offerings, they have a great cocktail list as well, and I love that they have a specific whiskey cocktail section as well, with a few that are less common at some bars. The Brooklyn is probably my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. Also, a fellow patron asked for a Toronto and the bartender was happy to look it up and make it for him. And what about the atmosphere here?! It's so wonderful in summer! With its narrow design giving a sense that an entire wall opens to the outside and the patio that extends beyond, it feels Ike you are vacationing somewhere tropical and beachy. This somehow combines really well with the industrial vibe of the interior. They also have some TV's for sports. The service is very friendly, attentive, interactive, and helpful. One thing that was consistent across my three visits, however, was the feeling that the place is always understaffed, so things tend to move slowly. I'm not sure this is the case, it's just the feel you get when it happens the times you visit. This is a bit of a double-edged sword though, since it's such an easy place to just want to sip and nibble slowly while delving into conversation. So, that's not enough to detract a star for now, and honestly I'm already thinking about when I get to eat here again!

Wonderful experience. Great service and super friendly…read more The food was amazing. Had the fish and chips for the first time. They were Really good! The beer selection and cocktail choice is awesome. Loved the stock manhattan cocktail. My wife enjoyed the Snap Dragon cocktail, nice use of tequila on this drink. Kinda busy for a Friday night, but got a table right away. Nice buzz in the place, mild rumble to the room.
