This was a quick stop on our way through Boise. Came in at 8:15 (they close at 9) and you could tell they had just gotten through a huge dinner rush for the World Cup match. The server was still so friendly even though you could tell he was the only one working tables and the bar. Our food came out quickly and was delicious. Great wings and really good pizza. The crust was not too thick and not too thin. Also had a really tasty Mango hard cider. read more

My friend was headed upstairs for a meeting. So, I stopped in here and met another friend that happened to be near by. I noticed they a few Great Notion beers on tap, this excited me. The bartender was, Joe. He was excellent and offered me a taste of each to make it easier to choose which one I preferred. I decided to also get some food. My friend had already eaten, so I had an entire personal size pie to myself. It came out quick and it was sooo good, I ate the whole thing! I would 100% recommend this place. The vibe was cool and relaxed mixed with some great tunes. read more

Shut "The Front Door". I went in with a group of 14 other people on a Monday evening for dinner. Monday evening - not busy at all. Three of us in the party decided to split a pizza. We decided on the "Capo", basically a combo with peperoni and sausage, olives, and red and green peppers. Cooked peppers always taste bitter to me, so I asked to have the peppers put only only half the pizza so I could skip them. 35 minutes later the pizza shows up with lots of green and red peppers all over the pizza, and pepperoni only on half. The waiter tried to serve it to others in the group, and needed to be redirected to us. He set the pizza in front of me, and WITHOUT apology, said the person working in the kitchen misread his note and made it incorrectly. The waiter did NOT offer to have the pizza remade, and did NOT ask if we wanted it. Just set it down and left. So I got what I did not order and did not want to eat. To add insult to injury, we were charged a 20% gratuity. Didn't matter how bad the service was - just pay it. The mis-made pizza was not discounted. Wrong thing but made to pay full price for it. Wrong pizza offered to wrong customers at full price and full tip. This place does not care about customers. I'm not going back. Neither should you. read more

This is a great small place on 6th St. perched at the bottom of the stairs to the Reef. It can get a bit crowded this time of year because the patio dining is closed. Decent discount on well drinks during 3-6 M-F. Always great high temperature pizza. Best recommendation is to get two personal pizzas instead of the large one. The small ones are of higher quality and taste better. All of them have the delicious burned edges and bottoms. The "dough is great" is heard whenever people take their first bite. The chicken Caesar salad is a fan favorite. Our best experience has been with their Goodfella pizza. We have heard fabulous praise for their Mac & Cheese stuffed pizza. read more

Cool ass little Italian joint right below the Reef. I ordered the cobb salad with a couple modifications. It was huge and delicious! I was also able to try the garlic bread. It came with a good helping of marinara sauce. The meatballs were ok, they were on the dry side but had a good amount of sauce and cheese in top. There was only one server and he did an amazing job maintaining our drinks, checking up on us and serving others diners that were eating. I look forward to going back. read more

Really surprised about this one. Based on other reviews and Yelp Pictures I was optimistic that this would be a hit. Sadly I came up short on that. First issue if you will was the Tomato Soup I ordered. The picture on Yelp looked amazing, the product received looked and tasted more like pizza sauce. Still suspect I was duped. Nonetheless, I ordered a Margherita of sorts with pesto drizzle. It came out slightly different from that. It wasn't bad, but then again it wasn't great. Room for improvement here. All in all, it was ok. A few tweaks and this place and subsequent review can go from ok to fantastic. read more

Friendly service and cozy space. We enjoyed the tasty IPAs, delicious garlic bread and pizza, and amazing jalapeño poppers. Four of us loved the Goodfella pizza. The crust was as good as the toppings, the mozzarella was high quality (not stretchy/rubbery), and there was just the right amount of artichokes. The poppers were more like stuffed jalapeños, spicy and super yummy. And we really liked the Triceratops IPA. We'll be back the next time we're in Boise. read more

I really only have 1 rule when it comes to picking a great restaurant. I only need the people fixing and serving the food to care as much about it as I do. Ok - well - it can be better than that. And in this case it was. I came in for a quick lunch. I'm traveling from back east for work, my expectations were admittedly low. But Nathan, David & Lucas sort of blew me away. Who'd expect to be so excited by a club sandwich and a cup of tomato basil soup? I was. Look. You can see why. I should've known by the look on the chef's face when he brought it out. He was overflowing with pride and expectation. And he was right. If you're in Boise, eat at The Front Door. read more

What a great experience!! The bartender, Isaiah, is an exceptional waiter - personable, knowledgeable and a good listener! Refills were delivered promptly. He and the kitchen staff took my food allergy questions seriously & double-checked ingredients to ensure I had amazing choices and could eat safely with the others in my party. And the food !?!?!?!? Really, REALLY good pizza! As transplants, we had not yet found a favorite pizza place, but that search is OVER! Who knew a "mac & cheese" pizza could be so flavorful? Even the adults were delighted! The "under 10 crowd" declared it "magnificent!" (yes, really!). And the Bootlegger may be THE perfect bbq chicken pizza!!! The ambiance is pub-like but completely family friendly (before 10 pm). OK... admittedly I have one situation that wasn't ideal... We had called ahead for reservations and were walking to the restaurant... and... (even though using our phone's navigation app) walked right past!! Obviously, we did find the right "front door". Despite this small initial snafu, we count this a 10/10 experience and I will look forward to a return!! If YOU are looking for the "Front Door", be sure to look for the door below the sign for the "Reef"!! I'm quite certain you will find it worth your search!! read more

Only one complaint. Beer was yummy. Chicken pesto sandwich was really good. Fresh, great bread. Pesto was good. Cheese and tomatoes were also good. Chicken cooked perfectly. Beer cheese burger was delish. Fish and chips were a miss. Good breading but the fish had a lot of veins and fishy parts even for being fish :-) BUT...... the hand cut fries were excellent! Service was attentive and quick. Wouldn't go out of our way to go back but with the dogs, more likely.

Gluten free blue cheese and bacon fried. This is a half order and I shared with my husband. We had to take a lot of it to go.

Hold it right there.... there is a corking fee but don't worry, your beer will still be WAY more affordable than a beer down the street or in the heart of town. (Beers on tap as well!) The only challenge with this place, choosing which delicious beer/cider you want. You will want them all! Great place to try something new!

Fantastic service coming from The Front Door. I came inside the restaurant and instantly felt welcomed. The aroma from all the food delicious looking food hits you as soon as you walk in the door! I had the large half wise half enforcer pizza that was recommended by Brandon White out server. It was absolutely huge for the minimal price I felt I paid! Not to mention the pizza had great flavor and presentation. Our server Brandon really made our date night one to remember and we will definitely go back to The Front Door to try out more food from the extensive menu! read more

First time here with the wife and we're so glad we stopped in!! Our server was Jose who promptly told us about the lunch specials. We ended up ordering a medium half "Wise Guy" and "Mac N Cheese" pizza. Crust was thin like we love it and the flavor was great. Probably the best pizza for the $$ we've had in a while. We ended up taking the rest home as a medium was more than the two of us could finish. It was just as good the next day after heating it up on the griddle! read more

We went as a family after Art in the Park. We had a large pizza, and our server, José, was the best! He suggested we get a half and half pizza as we could not decide what type of pizza to order. Everyone loved it. We also got the Italian nachos and our kids loved them as much as we did. Fantastic food and fantastic service - what is not to love? It is a favorite for our family. - Amy and Mark, Boise read more

I had been following these guys on Instagram for a while, and was really excited to go and try their food. There are a lot of great pizza companies in town, But I would say this is just an average place. Too loud, too crowded and our waiter got our bill wrong twice. Not to mention the pizza was pretty bland :( read more

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and made to feel welcome. I ordered the Dirty Olive House Martini and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Bardenay is the nation's first restaurant and distillery, serving its own handcrafted spirits. Their house-distilled vodka made for one smooth and delicious martini! Our server, Sabrina, was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. She recommended the fish tacos, and they were absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the burger and fries, and he couldn't stop talking about how good they were. What really impressed me was Sabrina's attentiveness. As soon as she noticed my martini was getting low, she stopped by to see if I'd like another. I figured, "Why not?" I was about to spend a few hours on a plane and was hoping to catch some ! The bar and seating area were spotless, and we enjoyed watching FIFA on the TVs while we ate. Great food, handcrafted cocktails, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're flying out of Boise Airport, I highly recommend making time to stop at Bardenay Restaurant & Distillery before your flight. We'll definitely be back!

Today my friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here so of course I said yes! We decided to sit on the outdoor patio today. It wasn't the warmest day but it was beautiful out. The sun was peeking out once in a while. The table was nicely shaded by a huge umbrella. The sun was nice but to have it beating on you isn't the best so the umbrella was appreciated. It was the perfect table for our outing. Jerika (I hope I spelled her name right) greeted my friend and I with her beautiful smile. We got some drinks started so while they were being worked on, my friend and I breezed over the menu. I did somewhat enjoy my charboiled salmon at the Eagle Bardenay for my birthday a couple weeks ago. The chefs did undercook my first plate of salmon. The server was kind to take my plate back to have the chefs remake it. The second attempt was appreciated but it was unfortunately a fail. The salmon came out so dry. I get that I wanted it well done but not jerky. But, today's a new day and I was willing to give it another shot. So today, I ordered the salmon with veggies instead of the salad. My plate came out and it looked promising. I love beautiful char marks on my food. The char marks today were perfect. My veggies looked nicely cooked but I could tell that some of the squash was still undercooked by the color. I didn't mind, it's a sign of freshness. As much as I wanted to stare at the prettiness of my food, I was ready to dig in! My salmon was so good! It was perfectly cooked! No raw spots in the middle, it was flaky and moist. It was a fabulous piece of salmon. The sun dried tomato butter is a fantastic add on to the salmon. I honestly could have polished another piece of fish. The chef that cooked my salmon today needs a raise! My lunch was chef's kiss! My friend enjoyed her lunch and her birthday drink! The outdoor patio was so relaxing. My lunch was also enjoyed. Our server was kind and attentive. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday lunch for my deserving friend. I hope that it won't be another 5+ years till I come back. I will need another plate of salmon with that sun dried tomato butter soon.
