"This is a great restaurant, with very good seafood, and a whole bar. As it is adjacent to the Issaquah Village Theatre, it gets really busy before performances, so, if you are not going to the play, try to be there afterwards.
We always enjoy the service, and eating outside, they have gas heaters.
Their prices are very reasonable."

"Great location (next to Village Theatre in Issaquah) for a glass of wine, outside on the patio. We ordered a pasta, tuna, lobster tail and a mixed plate of seafood and it was ok. The lobster was overcooked as well as the pasta (which was funny as we were there early on a Sunday - maybe food was sitting around?) - however, the service was outstanding... Lovely patio on Front street... I would just wait maybe when the restaurant is not so sleepy to order food..."

"The food was fantastic, fresh and perfectly cooked, and our server was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this restaurant. The other servers helped their fellow server's tables, and they were great with the teamwork aspect of working in the consumer field. However, we did find it strange that the servers, while on duty, ate their own food at a table on the floor while their sections were still full, when we were in the middle of eating ourselves. That part seemed unprofessional. Breaks, including meal breaks, shouldn't be taken on the floor during your shift. Being from a restaurant background myself, that would never be allowed at a chain restaurant , let alone at a fine dining restaurant."

"Fantastic food, fantastic service. This is a great restaurant for those special occasions. This is not a huge chain restaurant with good but boring food. It is a small, neighborhood restaurant with personable service and an innovative menu."

"We opted to go with five appetizers before the theatre. This was a fantastic strategy. Fins has such a fabulous appetizer menu. It was a great taste treat - and we were full!
Great pre-theatre gathering spot."

"Three of us ladies out for a girls night before the play...we planned on having a long dinner and FIns Bistro was so very accommodating to us. We had a long two and a half hour dinner and our waitress couldn't have been nicer, she never rushed us and was just a wonderful waitress. I really feel bad I did not get her name, I hope that Fins remembers us from Friday January 25th and gives our waitress a big pat on the back! The food was delicious and the atmosphere very warm and inviting. The tables are a little small but with our waitresses help we didn't have any problem with it."
