Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Issaquah

Wonderful place to gather for a fun evening with family. Food was delicious!

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!

Four friends met here for lunch yesterday. It is a wonderful spot for lunch as it has a cozy feel and is nicely decorated. We enjoyed our time, the food and our waitperson. Two of us had the house burger with fries and the other two had the grain salad with beets, butternut squash and a delightful balsamic dressing. We would definitely go here again as we felt welcomed and not rushed. One note— After Jan 1, 2025, they will no longer serve lunch or brunch☹️ and will open daily at 3:00.

We always love tutta Bella! The Roberto pizza is the reason we keep coming back for more!
