The on line site features SUNDAY BRUNCH. I had my heart set on Eggs ? Benedict. Oh, surprise! The server said that they discontinued brunch. apparently the web site wasn't informed!!! I went with the seafood Cobb salad, fabulous, but still craving brunch! Our server was so sweet.

Fabolous evening w my date. Section we sat in was completely empty but the waiter was still very attentive. Seafood and steak were both cooked to perfection. Crab cake appetizer was flavorful. Desert was amazing as well. All in all a wonderful evening w my gf for her birthday.

Everything was fantastic!!! I highly recommend eating here. We shared the Grilled Avocado with Crab Salad, Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts and I personally had the Dungeness Crab & Shrimp Louie Entree Salad and it was excellent!!

Today, is Saturday, and of course, my wife and I go to Big Fish Grill, straight to the Bar..........You ask why?glad you asked. Jennifer, Zack, Jeff and Ashley are the best Bar Tenders anywhere around..........you name the drink, and you will be so happy with the taste and quality, and even the price.In addition to making drinks for all of those in the Bar, they also look after you for your food order. and there attitude is such, that you feel right at home.These four employees care about your needs and ask you several times if everything as ordered, is what you expected..............no other restaurant will ask you that..........i have been going to this location in Issaquah, consistently and I always will......there is no one better for service, drinks and quality of food.And we are going again tomorrow. and also most of the time we bring guest with us and there opinion really is the sames as mind.Thank you Big Fish Grill for being in service for our communities. I know the Lady that owns this restaurant is very pleased and I know she is very concerned that her customer service is the best...............and when you know this about the owner.....you cannot lose going there.

Do the first time I went here I ordered steak and it was literally raw in the middle not just rare. I ordered a new one it never came. Spent $60 on drinks never saw the server again. Was told I would get a refund by manager. Never happened. So fast forward to the past three months, I went back twice more. The first night there was a lot of people when we went for dinner. I ordered the pasta, something like a carbonera with peppers. The food was fine the service was horrifically bad. A woman in glasses served us. After we were seated she took our order and we never saw her again. Never got any water never saw anyone to ask for water. Some one else dumped our food off and left. We also never got the drinks we ordered. So put it down to it being busy. The last time we were in a man served us, he wasn't a teenager either and he did not in anyway great us with eye contact or pleasantry of any kind, he seemed almost annoyed that we existed. It was just us and one other couple in the entire place. It was dinner hour not anywhere near closing time.

Tried the clam chowder; not good at all. The potatoes were undercooked and slightly crunchy, the garlic overpowered any other flavor and the clams were overcooked and minimal.The crab louis was good, however the egg had black spots on it and dampened the experience.

Food was great and it's a nice neighborhood place. Only complaint was we ordered the Brussels sprouts to go with our entree and they brought them out before our appetizers! Waitress took them back but they were lukewarm when they returned later. Big no no.

The sampler appetizer has a big plate and lots of sauce and lemon. The crab cake lacks crab meat, the prawns are served with store-bought sweet Thai chili sauce, the avocado with I think imitation crab is a mystery... On to the ceviche.... You would be happy if you're a vegan, because I could not find anything except for onion, mango, tomatoes, and more onion. There's no flavor other than the ingredients, and it comes with half a lime which doesn't help with anything. May as well bring me all the seasoning and I make my own sauce to go with it.The restaurant decor reminds me of Perkins.The most underwhelming dining experience for such a high price point.

This was our first visit to Big Fish Grill. Easy parking in the back. Very cozy place on a rainy afternoon with great ambiance. The menu is pretty expansive and a little pricey for lunch, but the portions are plentiful and fresh. I Started out with a glass of Pino Gris which was excellent. We had two appetizers--the calamari and the clams. Both were good, especially the calamari which was breaded just enough and not greasy. For the entrée, we had the Dungeness crab and shrimp Louie which was so fresh and delicious I would definitely come back just for this dish. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Since this was a weekday lunch, it wasn't too crowded, so nice and relaxing at a table in front of a pretty fireplace. We'll have to come back for dinner to see what the service is like on a busy Saturday date night. I'm glad we tried this place and now have it on my list of favorite places!

Ordered salmon, Mac and cheese, and ended with a creme brulee like dessert. First off, the bread was delicious! One of our favorite parts of meals at restaurants and this one didn't let us down. Salmon was very good (recommended by our waiter) and crab Mac and cheese I wouldn't recommend ordering- not bad but not great. Creme brulee-like dessert was tasty as well. My wife and I both drank a decent amount of soda but the waiters never let our drinks go all the way down. Some of the best service I've had. I totally recommend stopping by here if you are in the area and want some good food.
I've been here before, many times, so it makes me sad to give this review. My husbands fish tacos were good, but not great. My grilled tiger prawns were not “done” and tasted like they had been coated with salt before cooking. Even the broccoli was over salted. I wondered if it was just me so I had my husband try it and he agreed. I don't know if they have a new chef or what but I couldn't finish what had previously been one if my favorite meals and am disinclined to return.

We had a great visit to Big Fish Issaquah. First time eating in there since before covid. Staff was extremely attentive without being bothersome. Food came quickly. Dishes were plentiful and tasty. It was a great choice.

Booked a table for friends birthday dinner. The waitress Jessica was awesome she was polite and professional. However, the server was extremely unprofessional and he grabbed my plate while I was still eating and then when he came back to collect our plates when we’re actually done he literally started grabbing and thrashing with the utensils smashing some left overs all over.Interestingly, when he went to the next table he was extremely polite and collected the dishes very decent. There was clear difference in service… was it because we were FEMALES ? Was it because we were Asians ? The least courtesy could have been “I’m sorry” but nope.He just couldn’t take us, his body language and service was inappropriate.I hope management is able to address this bias in treatment whatever might be the reason. Spoiled our special occasion.

Food is tasty. We ordered fish and chips and salmon tacos.Salmon tacos include 2 with a small salmon portion.Food took longer than expected even though restaurant was almost empty on a Saturday afternoon around 2 PM. Also, it took forever to be seated, no hostess around, had to dial the restaurant so they could show up at the front.Overall is good but a bit pricey.
