Wonderful place, delicious food! We happened upon this place while visiting for the day. So happy we did. Food was excellent. Best hummus i have ever had. The soup was delicious! Everything was wonderful. We will definitely come back here when we are in the area again!

My experience at tantalus was AMAZING! I enjoyed the food so much, the portions were great and very delicious. I got the Olympus plate and it had a little bit of everything!
The lemon soup was my family’s favorite and the saganaki cheese was so delicious.

The restaurant owner even gave us a dessert to accommodate for my nut allergy and was so kind! I will definitely be coming back soon! I recommend this restaurant for families!

Service is excellent, very personable. Saganaki could’ve been better and food is Americanized Greek. But still it’s a good Greek option in the area.

This place is really overrated and overpriced as for the food quality they provide.

That was worse moussaka ever, I can't even call it moussaka. Salad also terrible. I just not good at all. Portions are small.

There much better mediterranean places in the area. AVOID.

Greek food wets my appetite. It's aromas, flavors, and taste evoke a feeling of warmth that you can take with you. Tantalus offers the best in the Greek food experience.

Vegetables doesn’t have any taste. Everything else was not the greatest food. Can’t understand why the rank is 4.2…

Tantalus Restaurant in Issaquah is a gem! We dropped by for dinner and were blown away. The Greek salad was crisp and fresh. The gyro was good and served with creamy tzatziki. The souvlaki skewers (we tried both chicken and lamb) were perfectly grilled and seasoned. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is relaxed and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back! 

I had an amazing experience at this Greek restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a great evening. The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and satisfying Greek cuisine. Can’t wait to go back!

Decided to check this place out on a bored Tuesday evening. Parking was decent.

There was one couple that left as we came in and one person doing take out and one more couple that came in when we were halfway through. Pretty slow for a Tue night.

We all ordered different dishes. The roast leg of lamb was basically meat pulled off some cut, probably leg but was expecting a single piece of lamb, not small pieces. Was just ok. Gyro looked good. Vegetarian moussaka was decent. Lamb shank again was just OK. The lentils soups that came with the dinner was the best tasting of all the items.

Unlikely to go back.

Chicken pesto had no chocken, mostly broccoli. Not good

Delicious food. It's tucked away and not as popular, it seems, as the restaurants up front, but I don't care. This place looks over a little park. I would absolutely go back.
