Was very impressed with the quality of Italian food and the serving sizes are consistent with Italian family restaurants. Definitely need to make reservations before as the restaurant was full on a Thursday night.
We had a business dinner here and they have a section for a bigger group (8 people). You receive a complimentary portion of freshly baked bread with balsamic drizzled over which lays the base for a good meal. We started with an appetizer sampler which was delicious and quite big that we could have stopped there. For my main course I got a lobster tail with pasta in a saffron creamy sauce which was absolutely scrumptious. There was a good amount of saffron in the sauce, you wouldn't realise it's the most expensive resource in the world, thigh want overpowering the dish. Needless to say I finished all of it
Unfortunately didn't have space for dinner which was ok as the main meal was worth it. Left satisfied and slept quite well.

We went in the middle of the afternoon mid week so it was fairly quiet. The menu is all classic comfort food in generous portions.
The space itself is booth style with a fireplace at one end of the room.
It’s a very relaxing environment with friendly staff and great food.
What more can you ask for?
We like the Redmond Village Square café and now but I know that these are sister businesses, we will come here again as well. They have a great formula and it seems to be repeated nicely here.

We have several Starbucks we regularly visit, but this is our favorite. Friendly people. Good service. We've been getting coffee at this Starbucks since we moved to Sammamish almost 20 years ago and have rarely been disappointed. I'm a little disappointed with recent changes to the layout and decor, but that doesn't detract from drinks done right with a smile and friendly conversation. If we have a choice, we always go to OUR Starbucks.

My partner and I have been here for lunch several times. Our server (the same each time) was extremely knowledgeable about the food and its preparation to help my wife with her dietary issues. I am a big fan of the reuben sandwich and french onion soup, which are so good that I may never have anything else there.

This is a nice little sports bar with a terrific selection of beers. The food is pretty much your standard selection for bar food but still it was quite good. The craft beer selection was also good providing a great west coast selection of beers. The service was great and quite helpful in making selections.

Two of us enjoyed a lunch here on a Saturday (and though we were given a "lunch" menu we were told that it didn't apply on weekends), but something just seemed off.
We were seated quickly but then abandoned until the manager came over to say our waitress was busy, could he help. We ordered cocktails and an appetizer (crab cheese puffs - quite good) and then waited some more. Finally caught our waitress's eye and ordered pad thai and cashew chicken. Watch out: even though you're asked "brown or white rice", it is an extra charge for either. The chicken in the pad thai was tough - had been sautéed too long. That in the cashew chicken was fine. Also the pad thai noodles were over -sticky, as though they had been sitting around. All in all a pretty mediocre meal at a pretty high price for lunch.

Visited in January '17 and had to make a return visit. Was not disappointed.
The Jak's Burger is excellent. High quality ground beef cooked medium to order, topped with blue cheese. Tasted delicious. Served with a mountain of french fries which were cooked perfectly - golden and crunchy. Maybe the best fries I've ever eaten.
Topped that off with dessert. There's a lot of choices, but I went for the Peanut Butter Cheesecake. Huge delicious portion with a side of ice cream.
It's been busy both times I've visited and it's easy to understand why. The food and atmosphere here are close to perfect. I'll be back!

Have been to Pom a number of times, never disappointed. The place is usually packed, so it is a bit noisy, but our young daughters do fine there. Very strong wine list and flavorful, sometimes unique, starters and mains. Worth a trip, nice local place.

We are very fond of thin crusted pizza and the fact that it lets you customize every aspect of the pizza makes this an ideal choice for us. The staff has always been friendly during our multiple visits. What's more is that this place is very moderately priced. Definitely recommend to try if you like Pizza and have never been to a MOD.

Family visiting from California and hungry for lunch and wanting to go to Issaquah.
Hello! It’s a no brainer!
Let’s go to the Issaquah Cafe on Gilman Blvd.
They have several locations although this is our favorite and Sammamish Cafe is our daughter’s pick.
Folks this is quite simply down home good country cookin’ from biscuits n’ gravy to delicious waffles and pancakes to fresh pumpkin pie. The prices are reasonable with generous portion sizes and nice warm friendly servers and staff.
Need proof?
Try getting in there on a Sunday morning! Patience my friend it’s worth the wait...promise.
Now comes the best part. We are seated right away by a pleasant young lady Sydney (like Australia) who also is our server. What good fortune (lucks follows me as you know) as Sydney is wonderful. Always wearing a sincere smile she took over our table and made us feel instantly like we were in good competent hands. When asked could I combine items for my choice she quickly answered “we can do that here”. Usually the server looks at you funny acts like you are an annoyance and says I dunno.
Real customer service? What a surprise!
What a pleasant manner...clone this girl give her a raise or somebody else is going to steal her away.
Our biscuits n gravy half chicken Caesar salad (huge) and a delicious triple decker club sandwich that we split were all served quickly and were all fabulous. Sydney asked if were preferred light dark or both Turkey (first time in my 60+ years and lots of clubs I was asked). When it arrived she had split it along with fries on two plates...nice touch.
Another very rare Sydney touch was checking back with us to make sure that our items were all satisfactory and several more times for fresh coffee more fries (we passed) any other needs or desserts. I have not experienced service like this since I waited tables
So folks if your within 25 miles or don't know about the Issaquah Cafe stop here ask for Sydney relax and enjoy good cooking.
Full tummy,
Ricardo y Julia
