This place is tucked away in a little strip mall but worth finding. We had a great meal with very friendly staff and fast service. I must admit my favorite item was the raspberry drop! Holy cow the "glass" was an ice sculpture! Our table enjoyed the pulled pork Mac and cheese, chicken tender salad, hamburgers, house made potato chips, house made donuts and rib tips. Everything was very tasty. We would recommend this place to anyone who is in the area.

Friends took us to their favorite hideaway and introduced us to Lexie, who obviously has a great passion for wine (and the knowledge to back it up). She offered us a few samples, made some great recommendations and took care of us all night. We intended to "graze" and ended up ordering half of the menu, including a salami & cheese plate, spaghetti & meatball, halibut, and tortellini alla panne. Raves all around. The live music was a bonus. Wish we lived in Issaquah so we could hang out here more often.

My wife and revisited this restaurant last week for happy hour - we had stopped in the place about a month ago just for a cocktail and wanted to try their food. We sat at the bar where the staff congregate at the end near the kitchen and arrived just after they opened. My wife had a glass of wine and I a margarita - both marginally discounted for happy hour. We ordered tacos which were openfaced and miniscule. The beef tacos ($2 for $7) should have been off a child's menu. We were asked if we wanted some chips and thinking they were complimentary like every Mexican resaurant on the west coast but no, we were charged $5 for the chips and two mini-cups of salsa. We could order other salsa samples for .42 cents each and tried the one flavored by peanuts which was very good. The next cup size below the sample cups must be a thimble. We also bought a large spoonful of rice and beans for $1.50 each and a shrimp cocktail $7 that was tasty. Our bill which included taxes and a "5% kitchen living wage" was over $60. We liked the regular bartender, the opening bartender (tall, bearded, tatted) had major attitude. The place reminded me of a local's joint in a ski-area with little snow. We won't return or recommend.

I love seafood but had not been in for a while. I came in due to Veteran's day the free meal for Veteran's they were offering. I greatly respect all businesses that recognize veterans like this.Many dishes sounded good but I ended up with the paella which was flavored and seasoned well and balanced along with being tasty. I just missed the crunch under the rice that is usually with a good paella but for free what can you say. Thank you. I had a nice draft beer and the lady who ran the bar was excellent and very customer service-oriented. I forgot her name but she had a lot of tattoos.

We stopped here to check out the happy hour, which runs until 6:00. They have a very good selection of out-of-the-norm craft beers, all at $2 off the regular price. The HH food choices were all discounted a decent amount too. We enjoyed the smoked salmon flatbread as well as the chicken wings. Our friends had the broccolini and bean dip, which were both good as well. This is a good choice for happy hour when in Issaquah.

This was the first time we ate lunch here. The service was great, but the food not so much. We ordered Sunset burgers. The meat had little flavor, the bun was doughy and compressed to a hard lump in the mouth, and the fries were way too salty. Eleven-dollar burgers should be much better than these were. Also a tip was tacked onto our bill without our knowledge. Disappointed, we will not return.

We wanted to watch the ballgame while getting something to eat-- hopefully something more than deep-fried bar food-- and try a new place. This place was great! Service was quick, friendly and courteous. Salad was robust and not just lettuce. Steak was lean and hardly any fat. Baked potato tasted baked and not steamed or nuked. Will return.

The reviews I read had been hard on this location. My recent experience totally contradicts these reviews. I visited on this past Sunday evening and found this place to be exactly what I was looking for. A laid back, unpretentious pub with great beer, friendly and attentive service, good food and an enjoyably diverse patrons. There were countless choices for beer and they offered growler and carry out options as well. The menu options were attractive, prepared well and affordable. In addition to generous happy hours, they offer special nights for the Service Industry and Military. The new manager Abby said hello and bar tender Darlene made offered great recommendations. Both were a pleasure to be around. I'll be a regular for sure.

Probably the best pizza in Issaquah! We ordered the grilled romaine and a pepperoni pizza to share. Both very good. I also ordered a classic Old Fashioned which was good as well. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. Good, bustling vibe. Issaquah needs more casual dining options like the Black Duck. Leave the kids at home (it's 21 and over I think) and plan a fun date night here. Next time I'm going to try the burgers. They looked very appetizing!

We have been going to this particular location for the past several years. In fact, it is one of our go-to restaurants when friends and family are visiting. So it was no surprise that our daughter wanted to go there for her birthday dinner.We have always gone there for the food - local, healthy and good portions. The quality has always been great. The calamari appetizer is one of our favorites.However, it was a far from pleasant experience this time. Their kids meal comes with a bowl of fruit. When the fruits arrived, we found that one of the grapes had white fuzzy mold all over it. We asked the server for another bowl explaining that this bowl had mold. It got really weird after that. The server examined it carefully (at our table) and then took the bowl over to the manager who inspected it further. The rest of our food came out....and eventually another bowl of fruit. The server apologized and said that they had opened a new bag of grapes. I hope that was indeed the case.What was surprising was that we did see the manager a few times - he brought food over to the next table. But not once did he stop by to apologize. Come on - mold in a kid's meal is pretty unacceptable at any eating place.The bill came and there were no surprises. We paid the full price and our server made sure to not hang around the table too much. Not even the customary "how was everything?". When we were leaving, I told the hostess about the disappointing service - while I understand that the mold was not intentional, the least the manager could have done was stop by the table and apologize. She offered to get us a coupon for a free appetizer for the next time. I told her that based on our experience, there would be no next time!!There are lots of great eating places in Issaquah. One with moldy food and an unapologetic manager can be easily avoided.
