The staff was overwhelmed by the lunch crowd. Our waitress was rarely attending to us and it being just a three top told one of us to hand her the water so she could refill it when all she would have had to to is walk around the table and fill the water. Food was served cold except for the sweet potatoe fries and not all the food was served at the same time. Average. read more

Great place! We had lunch on the outdoor deck. Food and service were great! We will be back next time in town!

I've only had good service, which is refreshing in an era of lacking work force. Good craft cocktails. Great happy hour. I love the patio. Food is good too. read more

I have read a lot of the Bardenay reviews. I see a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde thing going on here. As I'm sure many reading this do, I understand it. The bar!! Another story!! I have to offer a separate review of that. because just from my experiences here, I don't believe the kitchen deserves to lose any stars. Pick your poison. I don't like a buffet, so I don't go. I don't like ribeye so I don't order it. If I found it awkward to seat myself I might stay away from off hours. The dinner rush may be noisy with a wait. Funny, that last one is my personal favorite, but that's just me. It had been several weeks since our last visit to Bardenay. Last night we made it just in time for the rush. As I pulled open the door and the noise hit me (like a punch in the face), I could not stop myself from smiling. guess I don't mind a little chaos. So, it's true the acoustics in this room may not be perfect for an intimate dinner at certain times of the day. I think just before or just after dinner rush might be good for that. The food, no the kitchen, ok no...the food! The menu goes a long way to include a wide-ish variety . I like that. But I only like half the stuff, so I only order from that half. Mostly.... THE........kitchen! To say that we have only had good experiences from the kitchen would be a understatement! Salmon...perfect every time. Filet......perfect Appetizers.. good job This is only my experience. I mostly order entrees during the rush. But I trust this kitchen. I trust this kitchen so much I think I would even order something I don't like. I routinely ask my server to go back and tell the kitchen I said "thank you"!Again, just my experiences. For me, the bar is a different story and it is clear why. I hope to review that next! read more

I had a great experience her the other night and have to throw out a shout to my waiter Chris. I travel all the time for work and I can say that Chris is probably one of the best waiters I have had in a long time. The vibe of this place is a modern brewery with lots of seating options and tv's all around to catch your favorite game... I had the smoked chicken wings and a side house salad and both were excellent. I loved the fact that they make all their dressings in house and you can really taste the difference. The wings were cooked perfectly and the spice was also perfect with the right amount of burn. Just a great experience all the way around and Thank You again Chris for making this a great visit. read more

We had a 5-star experience. Our server Brian was awesome! Everything came out like clockwork and the food is dandy ;). We started with warm chips and delicious pico-style salsa with sides of sour cream and they were perfection. A couple of bacon-wrapped filet Mignons, a chicken topped salad and couple of sandwiches with fries for days and our little family was in happy camper mode. Mom was happy with the banana-centric cocktail and we ended with cheesecake! The patio was lovely and we got a little windstorm at the end to make it fun with leaves swirling around our feet. We enjoyed our experience here! OH and before we went in, kiddos got to skip some rocks in the river (there's a nice path to the river right behind the restaurant! So fun. read more

Stopped in for brunch on a Saturday after an overnighter at the 500 in Boise. We opted for soup and shared the B. Club. The wife had a Bloody Mary but I stuck with water. Both the French onion soup and chorizo stew were excellent and came with bread. Always a great choice and the menu will never disappoint. Cheers! read more

Went there with office group for dinner. Food was good and drinks were fine. But they were too loud to have a conversation with anyone or anybody. Moreover, they don't take reservations for large gatherings even if informed well in advance. We were seated on bar stool table and even though we were sitting uncomfortably close to the person opposite to us, the place was so loud one cannot hear the person sitting next to them. Anyways, it was our mistake to chose this place in the first place. If grabbing food and drink is the requirement, sure this place fits the bill but definitely a no no to have a romantic evenings with loved ones or chill with friends or those causal evening outings with colleagues. The service is rushed as I believe they would like the table to be empty sooner than the later for the next party to dine in. Not my kind of place, may be yours. read more

My wife and I rarely get out with the tribulations of life, work and kids. We went out to the Bardenay due to the scenery and pleasant reviews. She ordered a fillet and it was cooked as she ordered with wonderful crispy shallots a stow. I ordered a sirloin sandwich, Cajun style. The flavor was spot on and cooked how I like it, however the steak was a bad quality and required a jaw workout to chew. I did not finish it and probably won't return here. read more

One of my favorite spots for over 10 years now! Best service and bartenders in the valley! Feels like home. My favorite food.... Chicken satays with a side salad, fish and chips and the bacon cheese burger with fries never disappoints. read more

I first tried this location and experienced the worst rib-eye steak I think I have ever had. Then I tried the downtown location thinking maybe it was a one-off and experienced. I had an even worse rib eye that left me with bad stomach cramps all night long. This restaurant is simply horrible for food! read more

Meh. Ordered food to go while staying at the hotel next door. Waited over an hour until our order was complete. We were very surprised when we went to pick up our food that the restaurant was nearly empty. Why the long prep time? The food was not great. My husband ordered the carnitas sandwich and didn't eat it because it tasted off. Given the positive reviews and the popularity of the place at other times we'd expected more. I would not recommend this place and would not return. read more

Team was very nice to set up our table for 10 very quickly. Our server was very nice and efficient To me the negative was the food was just ok. I had the carnitas sandwich. The pork was tender but not much flavor. The menu touted having poblano peppers on the sandwich....there was very little of it. So it became a very bready dry sandwich. I heard the same complaints about the turkey sandwich. May want to look at your condiments to kick up your flavors. read more

Love sitting on the patio along with the gorgeous baskets of flowers ! Plenty of choices on the menu, something for everyone and the servers are attentive. read more

satay was good, French dip had no flavor and the carrot cake was stale and also had no flavor. Serving sizes were good. But we wouldn't go back. Very noisy inside read more

Our family is still in shock after our experience here. I'm a business owner and chef of over 20 years, so we love food. Service was ok, it wasn't super busy, food was ordered and arrived in a decent amount of time. Our meals were mediocre but my son happened to order the Kimchi Reuben sandwich, sounds yummy? He's a huge fan of Reuben's and also kimchi, as a chef he has had the ability to try all sorts of food, he's also 18 years old. He took a few bites and literally turned red, he could absolutely not eat this sandwich, he said it was so hot it made his mouth numb. We told our server about this, and she said she was sorry and went and got Soucie the manager. WOW I have never experienced anyone in a restaurant act so condescending. My son calmly explained the issue, and she completely got defensive and attempted to explain what kimchi is in a very harsh tone, he couldn't get a word in, and she wouldn't stop I attempted to step in and calm her down. This women would not look at me, acknowledge me, or stop, she finally offered him something else after a really uncomfortable 3-4 minute rant. After she returned with the food my son thanked her, but she started to lecture him again. My son had a good point to make and really just a suggestion to warn people how hot this sandwich was. she was just not interested. The point he was trying to make was, If an elderly person ate the Reuben and was not aware of how extremely spicy it was, someone could really have a medical issue, like his grandma for example. She went on to explain that the kimchi was made in house and the "older crowd ordered this sandwich of death all the time" we thanked her and ran for the door never to return again. read more

It was a fairly busy Sunday afternoon. We were a party of 3. Was seated immediately. Did not get visited by a server for a good 15-20 minutes. Then after ordering, waiting at least 35-40 mins for our food, we were then told they were out of cod. Had to order something else and wait an additional 15 minutes. Food was decent at best. Wont be going back. read more

Great place to dine with friends and family. Have a good conversation good food and good drinks.

Great Food and Friendly service. We sat outside on the patio that was very enjoyable. read more

This is by far one of the best restaurants I have been to, and I always come here with my family and I love how it is by the Boise river and I love how the staff is so nice. The food is also great as well it might be because I always get one thing but every time I get it, it is always good! read more

So I just visited the Bardenay for my husbands birthday, I had a few of my friends recommend this place so I had high hopes, the food wasn't all that good, I got tacos and the hot sauce they brought me was expired!!! That was very upsetting. Told the waiter and he acted very calm about it like it wasn't a problem... we'll rip my toilet rn. read more

Bardenay Restaurant & Distillery - Eagle - Do not recommend- expired food - New American Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

We are elderly regulars at Bardenay Eagle who typically visit 2-3 times/wk because it is very close to where we live, the menu has some variety, the food and the bar are good, the prices are reasonable, the hours are generous, and most of the servers (e.g., Chris, Austin, Bryan, Shantelle, Darcey, Abby, Hayley, etc.) are wonderful. The purpose of this review is to get a message to a relatively new server who ruined our last evening there. We are partially to blame since we run our own business and often have urgent matters that push our dinner hour late. We arrived at the restaurant on a Thursday at 9:35p, knowing they close at 10p. We ordered a simple dinner (soup and salad & drinks), and were finishing up by 10:40p when our server, Skylar, handed me the check and was clearly angry. I gave him a generous 30% tip, but he came back to lecture us on how we were keeping people waiting. There were still quite a number of people still at the bar, The staff was still cleaning up, and none of the other servers we've had ever attacked us in this manner. My message to Skylar is: 'Don't attack the customer, especially a regular who generously tips, because you will drive away their business. You are in the hospitality business, and customer satisfaction is paramount.' We will take our business to other restaurants for awhile, until Skylar cools off. read more

Amazing food! We had great service and the atmosphere was good too! We would highly recommend it!

The food was a little Applebee's ish. We had the bacon wrapped fillet and pork chop. The sauce on the steak seemed like it was from a can and the sides were cold. Great drink menu and nice outdoor seating. read more

My wife and I have been there several times and the reason we keep going back is because of the good quality of food on their menu and especially the friendly personal service by the servers. On our recent visit we sat at the bar where Vinnie took care of us. Friendly, personable, professional with a good sense of humor. I had the fish and chips and my wife had the burger and fries. Both were excellent. The fish was a good size serving; not greasy and very tasty. Plenty of fries as well. My wife enjoyed the burger, which was cooked exactly as she had asked. Overall the experience was excellent! Can't wait to go back. read more

We love Fish & Chips but our dinners on Aug 1, 2023 consisted of three pieces of fish about the size of a silver dollar (along with fries), and sadly, the fish was overcooked as well. I've never seen such a skimpy portion of fish. It looked like an appetizer. Wow. I understand that food costs are going up, but jeez. I doubt we had more than 2oz of fish each. Servers are friendly, but we're not going back. read more

Have been told to visit for some time but never made it. The food was just as good as promised and the service was quick and friendly. The only down side was the noise. We ate inside as it had rained earlier, and although not all of the seats were full, it was difficult to hear much. The room is open with high ceilings and stone floors and it's just a big echo chamber. Now, it wouldn't keep me from going back, but something to be aware of. read more

Great first visit here today on Father's Day for lunch. We decided to sit at the bar so as not to have to wait, just me and the hubs. Christopher was training Kayla behind the bar, and never missed a beat. Great personable service as I picked his brain about being a bartender (something I've always wanted to try doing). For such a youngster, he had a lot of bar knowledge. We learned a few things. Only craft beers on tap, but they have domestic bottles too. Like I said, service was great, but that's always because we're face to face, I do think table service was slower. We saw drinks sitting, waiting to go out, for longer than I would be happy with. Bathrooms were clean with hot water. Absolutely amazing patio seating, but wasn't our choice to wait today. The greenbelt is literally accessible right out the parking lot. Walk off that dessert. This place is beautiful and we will definitely be going back. read more
