Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Issaquah

Our dinner experience lived up to my memory of having been some years before. Exceptional service to the degree that substitutions were made with ease for allergies and intolerances. The food was excellent - all of us enjoyed our dishes very much. And being my birthday they brought out a small slice of tiramisu and sang happy birthday to me. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

We’ve actually never been to Jak’s for brunch and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, the service was great. We sat in the back of the main dining room and found that the sound was a little bit louder than we would prefer. The menu has changed somewhat. We found this out because two of our party wanted steak for breakfast —and our server told us about the new menu. Sized and sides have shifted….but the stars of the show —the steaks —were prepared to perfection, outstandingly well—and we will return for that. The blackened salmon sandwich was top notch, the quinoa bowl with top sirloin (prepped “blue”) was devoured, as were the two filet and eggs brekkies.

The food was exceptional. So many great menu options it was tough to decide. We had a party of 6 and each ordered a different entree -- trout, banh mi, french dip, ahi salad, burger, and the prawn scampi. All noted as delicious and satisfying --fairly large portions. I ordered the sticky rice thinking it would just be two small ones, as it is most other places I have ordered from, but it was actually 5 on a plate and about 2-3 bites worth each one. We cut them in half and shared. It is very dark inside in certain sections, especially contrasted to the bright outside if you have a table by the door like we did. The service was pretty average. We saw our server three times, once to bring water and immediately take our order (didn't have a lot of time to think it over, though we could've asked, but felt a little rushed), then he brought us drinks, then at the end for the bill and cleaning up dishes, but nothing in between to check on us. Music is too low to hear but there's a lot of conversation happening in a small space so the music serves as somewhat of a white noise. I would definitely go back, I want to eventually try everything on the menu!

Overall great experience. Friendly service and good food and drinks.

Went for the first time to celebrate a girlfriend’s birthday and the tearoom is so cute and charming! The food was great, the service was helpful and friendly, the tea was delicious and the assortment of fingerfood were delightful and yummy! The ambience was very festive due to it being the holiday season which was a bonus and can’t wait to revisit see how it’s decorated normally!
