Tantalus - Issaquah

The food is expensive,and there is only a little. We waited for a long time( like 20~25min), there’s only us and no one else in the restaurant, and when we ask the waiter he answered us very impatiently, ” we are a restaurant, not a fast food express “ and so we wait. I’m worried about the food safety, they don’t wear gloves when making, and I saw they squeezing lemon juice on my food without washing their hand. Which is GROSS I don’t suggest this restaurant, find another one. I’m surprised how this place got a 4 star rating

Very good food ! Chaotic service and tedious wait for food.

My friend and I ordered the Saganaki for an appetizer which was ok. We each also had a cup of Avgolemono which was just ok also. My friend got the Paidakia Lamb which was undercooked and I got the Arni Psito Lamb which was supposed be cooked in olive oil, lemon and wine sauce and come with potatoes and vegetables. What I got was unseasoned slices of meat that tasted like they were boiled in water. The vegetables also had no seasoning and I never got the potatoes. When I brought up the potatoes, our waiter just said, “I can get you some potatoes now if you want”. No apology, no offer of a discount or refund, just an offer to get some unseasoned potatoes to go I guess. My friend’s tzatziki didn’t taste fresh and we both left feeling bloat and stomach discomfort like we had just ate massive burgers, not light flavorful Greek food. The red wine from Greece was good and decently priced so there’s that at least. We came here instead of our original plans for a better rated restaurant, so I wish it was a better experience.

No AC on a very hot summer dat...grizzly lamb meat, extra charge for ice tea refills. Veggies served with meal overcooked.

It 's June 2024 and this is still an outstanding restaurant. I would skip everywhere else in Issaquah to eat at this place. The food was incredible. The menu is full of family recipes that make this place stand out from other Greek places. Put this restaurant on a must eat at place. Definitely worth traveling to. Parking: This is in Gilman Village, so lots of parking.
