We decided to write a review because we wanted to warn other people about this place. It looked nice from the outside. The long and short of it is: Server was terrible. She kept standing to the side and behind me where it was impossible for me to even look at her. She didnt make any drink suggestions from the bar even when pressed by us as to what specials were available or what drinks they recommend. (She could have up sold us big time!) She brought out the food in a strange order and some of us were eating before others. I am a cook and have worked in many restaurants. I have to say that the food was awful! The only decent thing was the spinach artichoke dip and the bread. I wish that was all we ordered. When we got the bill I was APPALLED! It was $73! We only had 2 drinks, 2 entrees, and 1 kids meal. After I left I also realized that she had charged me for "Bushmills" and "Jack Daniels". All I had was a Jack and Coke. I guess I paid double. I will NEVER, EVER go there again. I cant believe people actually think this place is good. Oh, and it was a FRIDAY NIGHT! HA! That means the best staff they have were working.... sad.

What a disappointment. The hostess had her mouthful of baklava and smelled like strong cigarettes. For dinner, we ordered two steaks (New York & Baseball Cut Sirloin), which came out charred, which simply overwhelmed the taste of the meat. We werent expecting steaks like Jaks grill, but at least expected something better than my 8 year old niece could cook & flavor. Service was terribly slow and the waiter seemed to always dWhat a disappointment. The hostess had her mouthful of baklava and smelled like strong cigarettes.

Best Italian food in Issaquah. Prices are high, but this is fine dining. Additional review after one year of visiting this restaurant: The parking is becoming worse, so be prepared to park on the street, or the lot next door after 6PM *ONLY*. This place accepts your "Passport Corporate" discount cards for BOGO, so if your work provided you with the card, definitely use it. The service here remains slow, and the lighting rather dim, which stands fair with some of the 1 star reviews/rating that I have seen thus far. Neither of which affects me since I do not rush when I wine and dine at an upper scale-ish restaurant. With that said, this is not a fast food place, so take your time and enjoy yourself. Every now and then they have live bands in the bar area, which is great for happy hour. However, happy hour does not support Passport discount. I am keeping the 5 star rating.

Had a paint nite here. Only had 1 server for all of us. Was very slow, food was horrible had to send back, then had to wait for paint nite to be over to eat. Ended up at ihop only thing open after 10pm on a Wed night on our way home to Tacoma. Best pancakes ever! I can not believe how long it took to chew one piece of meat or how bad the calamarie is. Way way over priced for the quality of the food. It was clear it wasnt fresh. And they stuck us ( the paint night people) in a dark room could hardly see what the hell we were painting. My friend asked for a box 2 times never got it and where ignored several times. If you live out of town dont waist your time or money, fast food would be better then eating here

My husband and I visited Antebellum for our wedding anniversary after hearing rave reviews from friends. The Antebellum-style home has been well-restored and makes for a romantic, candle-lit setting. The noise does reverberate off the walls a bit, so the louder patrons easily created a din. However, the impeccable service, well-rounded wine list, ambiance, and incredible food more than made up for the moderate noise level. The modern twist on Southern classics is creative and beautifully presented. Our server was amazing and she did a wonderful job recommending our wine choices. I would certainly recommend for anyone looking for somewhere to celebrate an anniversary or other special occasion.

I have lunch at Pogacha 5 or 6 times a week and dinner 4-6 times a month. They have about a dozen salads plus a weekly special salad. Large portions. They have thin crust pizza, about dozen different kinds. They are good for one hungry person or two with smaller appetites. There are pasta dishes, chicken platters, steaks and prime rib, sandwiches and more. There is a bar with a patio and five TVs for watching sports. The restaurant side also has a family patio. There is free on-site parking. Their service is the best in town. They are a season sponsor of the Village Theater in Issaquah.

Love - love - love this place!!! The food is wonderful, fresh, tasty, and prices are reasonable - especially happy hour. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is great whether youre inside or out. The ambiance inside is cozy if youre in the bar area - the fireplace makes a nice statement. In the summer there is not a better place to be than on the patio - umbrellas for shade. Perfect! The dining room is elegant, and more formal. Ive never had a negative experience. My husband and I have been long time patrons for nearly 12 years. It never disappoints.

The waiter would have been more at home in a car wash, the porterhouse steak was thin and grisly, the sort youd find in a bad Spanish restaurant under Franco circa 1970. I did like the bread, which is apparently a signature, and the beer was cold. If you are taking the gang our for pizza or something after a soccer game, this might be a great choice. As a night out for dinner....there are at least 10 places in this small town that are lots better.

Were happier with this restaurant than the numbers would indicate. The food isnt rocket science but the place is comfortable and good and large quantities. It is a great place for a clan gathering -- for a modest upcharge they basically double the size of salads and entrees and serve it up family style. So a clan of twelve could eat for a little more than the price for six.

Horrible service! The hostess ignored us and was slow. We waited almost 20 mins to be acknowledged by our server, finally we have up and left...I would only come here if you like watching the staff walk by you like youre invisible. One star was only because zero stars in not an option!

I had the gnocchi and can be pretty picky about the dish. I thought it was great here, good texture and yummy sauce. Service was friendly and fast. I went in a weekend night with a party of four and we did not have to wait more than a few minutes to be seated.
