Excruciating night of vomiting blood and explosive diarrhea ensued after eating here. Obviously something went wrong handling the food in the kitchen. 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

Don't order the Special spinach raviolis if you're hungry. For $22 you get two raviolis me and my husband were shocked. Should be labeled as only two raviolis or as a appetizer. Super delicious but not worth that price. read more

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, beverages, liquor selection and service. I'm in town visiting family and apparently they are regulars here, driving over from Sweet. 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

Bardenay Restaurant & Distillery - Eagle - Brunch menu 06/20/2021, full menu not available until 3pm Sundays - New American Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

See all

The food is always good at Bardenay and the drinks are amazing. They make their own vodka and it's super delicious. It's a pretty loud atmosphere which is okay but just something to know. The service is usually pretty good, the last time I was there I walked up to the bar to order a drink and the bartender was obviously put out. After a couple of tries he conceded that he would take my order but he was very busy. That was pretty annoying since I had just arrived to join a group of friends and wasn't sure who my waiter was. That said when I got to the table the waiter was incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly. Overall it was a good experience, but I didn't appreciate getting brushed off by the bartender. 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 it breaks my heart to give only 1 star as I am not usually that person. Me and my boss had just drove 5 hours for a work meeting in the morning and just wanted a drink. We were staying at the Hilton (same parking lot as the distillery). We walked over at 9:50pm and just as we were walking to the door a couple in front of us was let in, So we figured we could politely knock and ask to have a drink since the door was locked. Finally after a few minutes the bartender walked over and let us in for "a" drink. Then when sitting down at the bar (which had 6-8 people still drinking) we ordered our drinks. The manager named Michael then told us we closed at 9pm and myself not being from here explained I am sorry the hotel told us you were open until 10pm, rudely he said nope closed at 9pm and walked off. Came to find out the couple let in before us was ok because Michael knew them. I must say that I would have given 5 stars just based off of Chris the bartender as he was very accommodating and polite to a few girls just looking for a drink in the 90 degree weather after a 5 hour drive. I hope that things are a little different when it is not a Monday and you are wanting business to pick back up after COVID. We just wanted a drink, no food just a drink to help sleep. read more

Had lunch here the other day.it is a very nice place to get a bite. The food was great and prices were average. Nothing spectacular to say but it's a nice place to eat. read more

The view, the food, the service, all great! The prices are reasonable, especially for lunch. I love taking my friends and family here when they visit! read more

Shantel is by far the best server I have ever had anywhere! She was so attentive and sweet. Also literally the funniest server ever! You HAVE to request her when you come in! read more

Bardenay Restaurant & Distillery - Eagle - New American Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

Excellent food, great service (even for a large party), and nice outdoor seating (even on a cool evening)! I'd go back!

More visits give me what I need to know I was wrong in rating at my last review, when I said 4 stars, and my first review, when I said 3 stars. Repeated visits put me at 2 stars. Service vacillates between lackluster and indifferent. Food is hit and miss. The saver is if you go right before 5pm and can get a table outside on a summer day absent searing heat or an abundance of flies, you can enjoy the setting along the river and pretty good specialty cocktails which may be enough to put up with the previously mentioned deficits. But see recent reviews from the following folks. Jennifer W. " Service was appalling...We will not be returning.. Chris C. "My conclusion is that it is a brewery with ho-hum staff a great menu that needs to be executed better!" Luis M "This place is just ok. The food was average but our waitress was grumpy." Yep. I agree. read more

Great service, food was yummy and I would go again. It was a cold night and the seating by the fireplace was just right.

Blah. That's all I can really say about this place. It feels like Cheesecake Factory in that the menu was huge, but none of it seemed to be done particularly well. Service stunk. My pasta special was basically a salmon Alfredo soup that was just there. It's like no one in the kitchen tried. Everyone just kind of picked at their meals and had that look on their face. Hopefully this isn't true for everyone, but our experience while in the area just stunk. read more

Great location but the kitchen really let the rest of the team down. Fish & Chips came out with the fries cold, not warm but actually cold with the hot fish on top. Another plate within our party had a pork chop that was dry & over cooked (they did enjoy the garlic mashed potato side). so many other outstanding Eagle area options to chose from. read more

This the second time we have tried this restaurant and been disappointed. Will not go back. The first sign of "we shouldn't eat here" were the 2 ladies next to us getting up and left because of no service. We sat at the bar to have a drink and lunch. It was not that busy, but from where we sat we could see the expo window and food was back up just sitting there in the window. I watch an order of eggs benedict sit there for 15 minutes, it was brought back to the kitchen immediately. A new couple sat next to us got their water and drinks and ordered. After 24 minutes I'm like we need to ask what's up. Then the couple who were seated after us got their appetizer. So I asked another server if she cold check on ours and could see her scrolling on the kiosk and she asked the manager to come see us. He was very unpleasant and told us that we had only been waiting 20 minutes and it would take 35 minutes to make our 2 sandwiches. This is at 2:30 in the afternoon. The kitchen from watching them the whole time had no sense of urgency, tired from breakfast service. My husband is a chef and we both have been in the industry for over 25 years and this was disappointing. I don't understand why people with no customer service skills work at restaurant's. From the hostess to the bartender to the manager very poor, phony and rude and unfriendly. We left and went to Albertsons and bought 2 sandwiches! read more

Moderately priced decent food with casual atmosphere. It can be a little noisy inside, but the outside patio is very nice. I recommend more as a lunch spot. read more

Was in Eagle for a business trip. And Bardenay was across the parking lot from my hotel. It was very busy. But lively. My server was busy but she always checked in to make sure my drink was filled. I ordered the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. Got the blue cheese butter topping. The mash was flavorful great roasted garlic flavor without being over powering. The veg was a medley of summer offerings squash peppers and green beans. I was very pleased with my meal and the friendliness of all persons I encountered on the staff. Next time I will try one of their distilled spirits. read more

Amazing food, service, and ambiance. Highly recommended! Definitely going back there again.

Awesome spot, great food and adult beverages. Will be back for sure!!! Excellent place for a work lunch or just to chill with friends.

I've had several menu items and everything is soooooo good! My favorite is the trout with capers and mashed potatoes. The tuna sandwich, fish tacos, and the ahi salad are all superb too! Drinks are great and service is excellent! I would eat here everyday if I could! read more

The food is very good. The waitresses are so sweet, really noisy Hart but if you go before the crowd, you really enjoy yourself.

Came in after work with some friends the server notified us that the kitchen was closing in a few minutes and to get our order in. Felt kind of rushed the whole time. I ordered a burger with pink inside and it definitely came out well done. I tried this key lime honey mustard for my sweet potato fries and it was not my cup of tea but their ranch was fantastic. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful and dimly lit which definitely set the vibe. read more

Super loud inside, marginal service, and a real strange cheese board give this place five stars for me. I won't even mention that the one drink I had with mid shelf bourbon was 10$. Yeah, no. Not overly impressed with this location. The cheese board is rather small and came out with a ton of tarragon leaves shredded On top. The cheese east just these blocks that you had to cut yourself, and the oil for the bread was just olive oil with no flavor to it. I will say the bread portion was generous. There wasn't really enough cheese to match up with the fruit that was given, and not even close to enough cheese to match to the bread. Price for the bard was high for what you get so I'm guessing the atmosphere is what I'm paying for? I'd like a refund. Granted, I went on a Friday evening so I expected there to be a fair number of patrons, but there is nothing done here to mellow out the loud cackles of the table of eleventy women who must have just left work and needed to party like it was 1940. It was very hard to hear anyone when conversing with them unless you went into I'm going to tell you a secret mode. I'll try this place again for lunch before the big crowd and see if it's better, for now it's a three star at best. read more

I'm being very generous with 4 stars. I don't think 1 bad experience should overshadow many positive visits. Today 6 of us went in for lunch. 3 ordered the Pho. Is was AWFUL. It was meat and noodles in a broth without the veggie toppings that make Pho. The meat was tough and tasteless. The noodles appeared to be a wheat noodle rather than rice noodles. I would give it a -1. I ordered the Bahn Mi sandwich. It was just okay. The chewy grande bread overpowered the sandwich ingredients. I would give it a 3. The other two meals were fine. No one raved but they were ok. When we picked this lunch spot, everyone agreed they'd never had bad food at Bardenays. (Until today) read more

Especially enjoy the patio in the summer. Just wish we could make reservations as it gets extremely busy and we have to go early for dinner most days in order to get a table. But they have the best food and service in Eagle and we love meeting friends there for lunch and dinner. read more

I love dining at BardeBardenay, despite the excessive noise level, it's part of the charm of a distillery. The patio is a beautiful option when the weather cooperates! Great food, thanks for bringing the grilled salmon sandwich back! Huge Thanks to Jason H. for the exceptional service he provided me and a friend Friday afternoon. It was the best and so much appreciated! read more

Cocktails! I love their citrusy cocktails. Nice to sit outside in the summer. Good service.

This place is so pretty and I can see the potential of a nice meal on the patio. My review is specifically for Mother's Day brunch. I treated my mother and sister and was embarrassed. We were in and out within 45 minutes. The line to get food was long, the food was cold, and the selection was slim. One little mimosa with no option to buy a bottle. Just $6.50 for each additional glass. We usually like to sit for a while and relax. Disappointing and embarrassing that my mother ate cold food for her day. (Frozen strawberries on waffles, and cold gravy on the biscuit) read more

Chancie was absolutely amazing and the food and drinks were phenomenal. Got a shot of whiskey and it was the smoothest shot I've ever had. 20/10 will be back. read more

Drinks and food were good The fish tacos could have used more sauce Service was cheerful and efficient We will come back read more

Let me preface that Covid probably had an effect on the menu and service but I'll go ahead and leave my not so great review. We had reservations for 7:30 but we were about 10 minutes late getting our table. Not a huge deal but still. The waitress got us water and we ordered tri color chips and salsa. I had a stout and my girlfriend had a prickly pear cider. The stout was great. I didn't care for the the cider but my girlfriend enjoyed it. The "tri-color" chips were tri-color by definition only. All yellow corn chips with 2 or 3 "other color" chips thrown in. There were tons of crumbs on the plate so we were at the end of the bag. Chips tasted great though and the salsa was fantastic. Took about 20 minutes for the waitress to come back to get our food order. This was partially my fault as I couldn't remember what she looked like to flag her down to tell her we were ready to order. Our water glasses were never refilled. The food was pretty decent. I had the charbroiled salmon sandwich. The bread was awesome, nothing outstanding about the fish itself. The Caesar salad wasn't that great. Lettuce wasn't crisp and only a few croutons. My girlfriend had the club sandwich. The sandwich was had great meat portions and the sweet potato fries were really good. All in all, decent food at a decent price. The service wasn't that great BUT, again, I'm will to accept Covid as an excuse. We might give the place another shot if we stay at the hotel next door again but won't we go out of ourway to visit the next time we're in Eagle. read more

Going to keep this review short & sweet. Have been here a couple of times, service is great. Unique atmosphere & architecture, really love the space. Food is great, presentation is very nice. Prices are fairly reasonable. One of the bigger negatives (for me at least) is when the place is busy, the inside dining area gets pretty loud, almost like a school cafeteria. This is primarily because the place is open concept inside. This is easily fixable if you're lucky enough to get an outside table. Trust me, try to get an outside table (when the weather is nice). Haven't had a bad experience yet, one of the better places to come to in Eagle / Meridian area. Parking can get somewhat packed, so you can park in the hotel parking lot which is next to the restaurant OR park at the nearby park (Reid Merrill Park) and walk down the greenbelt to the restaurant (a VERY pleasant 15 minute or so walk). FYI, you don't wait for someone to sit you down at a table. You sit yourself. Kind of felt like a n00b when I came here my first time lol. If you do find a seat inside, but you soon find an open spot outside, you CAN move outside, they will know you moved! read more

Yum! I went here 4 breaky with a gal pal after a walk around the river with my infant, and they were AWESOME. The food was tasty, and the service was top notch. I didn't have to ask 4 a thing. My infant was with us tableside in a carrier, and he thoroughly enjoyed himself, too. If you're looking 4 a family-friendly, upscale restaurant with great food, check this place out! You won't regret it. read more

Both times here were great- I have qualify that by saying I am from out of town and here just to grab a bite. I can say definitely that the food is top notch. Service is really friendly and excellent - but I compare that to the Silicon Valley where nobody cares about anything. I didn't sample any of the brews, do I can't help there- sorry. If you want a great meal and a fun and friendly place that is classy but accessible- come here. read more

I got a different dish than I ordered and when I questioned the waitress she said the dish I wanted wasn't on the menu any longer. The young lady was obviously doing the best she could to make it right and didn't really know what to do with an upset customer. I wanted to apologize to her personally but after she dropped the check, someone else picked it up. I asked her if she was the manager and she said "yes". I said that this nice girl didn't know what to do when I was upset and she should have gotten her manager right away to help her. I then told her I didn't think she was a very good manager and promptly offended her as well. I decided to leave her a good tip and a note that I felt bad for being a jerk but like an idiot, I wrote that she should quit this job the first chance she gets. What I want her to know is I didn't say that because her service was bad but, I felt sorry for her because her managers had failed her and this might not be the best place to work. Please accept my apology for my snooty behavior and embarrassing my Wife like I do all the time. I feel horrible that I have hurt this young lady and I hope anyone reading this will tell her I'm sorry. read more

This place is always good. They have good service and a ton of food to choose from. The location is awesome too.

Walking in the door in a Sunday night your are immediately struck with an awful smell, like bad breath or stale fish. The bar was full and so we walked to the far end of the bar where you can see into the kitchen or prep area. From there you are treated to a moras of dirty dishes and glasses sitting in bussing bins. From there the smell was stronger. I have had drinks and food from Bardenay Eagle and downtown and was unimpressed. It's surprising the place was as busy as it is. Too many better places in the area. We sat for a couple minutes and no one acknowledged our presence and so we left. We won't go back. read more
