Pogacha of Issaquah

Welcome to Pogacha!

We feature a Northwest menu with the added flair of the Adriatic. Our cuisine is often described as Italian in that we feature pizzas (aka Pogachas) and pastas. At lunch time, we also feature sandwiches and salad. We bake our sandwich buns and serve fresh rolls with each menu twice a day and also use the dough for our gourmet pizzas. Our dinner menu includes seafood and steaks, lamb and beef tenderloin skewers along with our salads, pizzas and pastas. We have a large bar with a great appetizer selection and daily happy hours. Private dining rooms are available for special functions and events.

"We had a birthday celebration for a small group (12). The separate room was perfect for our group, providing a quieter location. Sevice and food was very good. Staff was responsive to questions."

"Just moved to the area from So Cal and we tried out this place based on a word-of-mouth recommendation. The weather was great and the outdoor area was really nice for a luncheon party of 4. The service was excellent and the food was fresh. I will definitely go there many more times in the future."

"We've eaten here twice - once for date night and then on a Sunday night with the family for their pizza & pasta specials. Both times we had great service, excellent food and ambiance. You can also hang out in the bar for live music on certain nights. Definitely recommend this restaurant and this has become one of our favorite restaurants."

"A friend and I had lunch here (the first visit for both of us). Our sandwiches and salads were awesome - couldn't even finish. We sat and talked for a LONG time and never felt rushed to leave. Our waitress even offered to refill our waters several times. I would definitely return."

"I do not drink so didn't look at their wine list. Excellent selection of food items & quite a range of types of food & prices. I would definitely go there again. It pays to make a reservation however as we had to park next door it was so crowded & since we had a reservation we walked right in. There are different areas also i.e. bar, booths & then a more formal dining room w/white table cloths so one can be as relaxed or formal as they wish. They have live music on weekends it appears in the bar."

"We brought a guest from Dallas who loved the "pogachas" and the overall ambiance. Thank you for being a local place we can count on with amazing food and great service. We always appreciate your servers who are friendly but always with great advice on the menu and the specials of the day. And we came on Tuesday, so really appreciated the spwcials!
Thank you.

"My wife loves the Chicken Dobar thus the reason we went on Valentines Day. I enjoy their other entrees and also like their beer selection. Great warm,baked pogachas! A good local restaurant that is reasonably priced. Only complaint for the night was the light above us had a light bulb that was on its last legs and flickered quite a bit."

"We had a very enthusiatic waiter who promised a lot but delivered slowly. Not a problem as we were not in a hurry. One out of 7 of the meals was not good. But that patron does not complain.
Overall we will go back because of ease, prices, etc.
