    We've come here a couple of times. Parking wasn't too much of a problem this weekend. Even when the zombie event was going on. It would be a little more challenging over Main on a sunny day. Who knows. Place looks like a bar. It's small, but there are more tables downstairs. Kitchen is upstairs. Interesting for all staff having to go up and down with all the food. If you have a big party, I would definitely go downstairs. I know it is going to be next to the restrooms, but there is a bit more room. Staff has always been very friendly as well as alm customers :) Service was fast. Weve tried their burgers. Specially the gorgonzala which was tasty, and wings. Have to say that they are good. A bit sweet for me, but I could taste the orange and real honey. Drinks are nice for each season.

    Margarita flatbread

    Enjoyed sitting outside for Friday happy hour, but glad they broke out the umbrellas today. Had a couple of cosmos & beers along with margarita flatbread and hummus with vegetables and hummus.

    My last review 4 years ago I mentioned our ups & downs with this place- definitely a down now- the owner should never be visible- he walks around with a judgmental scowl on his face every time we've seen him & we have a lot of friends that don't even go in because of his behavior. The food is very inconsistent & expensive as well as the drinks. The service is just as inconsistent. Go somewhere else.

    My best friends and I are trying to explore more local places in Issaquah and have never tried a gastropub so we were excited to check out Levitate. We loved how busy it was; the atmosphere really gave off local dive bar vibes, and they were even playing Sound of Music on the TV. We were seated immediately upon entering. Our server, Nova was super welcoming and friendly, she took care of our table all night and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time we were there. I am a pretty picky eater, and Nova helped me order a custom burger that I would enjoy. I don't know if it was magic or if she just subconsciously remembered my tastes from when we sat at lunch together in eighth grade, but the burger was absolutely fantastic, and I definitely want to go back with my family for another. The fries that came with all our burgers were also absolutely delicious. I loved how flavourful they were, and I found myself unable to stop shoveling them in my mouth. For dessert, my friends and I split the Chocolate Chip Cookie and the Bread Pudding because I honestly couldn't decide which one I wanted more. Both desserts were delectable and I loved the texture of the chocolate chip cookie.

    Stuffed calamari bomb - skip this one.  Odd mix of flavors.

    This really is a 3.5 star place. But, their service bumped this review up to a 4. First off, this is a "pub" so I will start with the drinks. Beer and wine options were good but their whiskey/bourbon special menu was excellent! I got to enjoy Blanton's yesterday. Lots of local WA brews and wines (by the glass). Prices were very good. Just an FYI - This place does not carry Fireball! We wanted to buy a couple of shots as a punishment for someone that lost a bet but our server told us they did not have it! But hey, their whiskey/bourbon specials more than made up for this. We were a group of 10+ so we got to try a few different shared plates and some were good and some were not good. Our favorite was the Smoked Honey Habanero BBQ prawns. It does not contain cumin but It had a similar consistency and flavor profile of a tomato forward curry dish you could find at an Indian restaurant. Chicken wings were good. Flatbread and tacos were all pretty average. I do not recommend the calamari bomb. Very odd mix of flavors. See attached photos for every shared plate we tried. The venue was quite cozy but surprisingly bigger than it appeared from outside. They also have an outdoor seating area but it wasn't open yesterday (it was very cold out). They do not take reservations but the employee that answered my phone (Joshua! thank you) was extremely helpful and actually gave me a call closer to the time I told him we would show up. He gave me a status update on the wait time, when the happy hour prices end, etc. I thought this was very very nice of him and he definitely went out of his way for this. It was packed for a Thursday evening. They had a TV but it was not on (and no one was there for a sporting event or anything). I thought they would have the Thursday night football on but oh well. I wasn't there for that anyway. Recommended if you're in the area. Not a destination spot or anything though from another city.

    Mango habanero chicken wings
    Jenai E.

    Came here on a Saturday at 2pm with my husband. It was quiet as it was between meals. Sat at the window bar top and the bartender served us. He was friendly and attentive. We ordered the mango habanero wings and were told the kitchen was changing over so it would be an extra 5-10 minutes. It felt much longer. When they came, the presentation was great. The wings were cooked perfect; Juicy inside and crispy outside but there was no heat or pepper flavor. The mango sauce was very sweet, it would have been better if there was more spice to balance it. We also ordered the nachos as we were still hungry. The cheese is a sauce similar to alfredo. The pickled onions were bland. The jalapeños had zero heat or flavor. The guac tasted like an over-ripe avocado when it goes brown. Beer, service, atmosphere were highlights. This is a good place to eat for people who enjoy bland food or just come for the drinks and a nice place to hang.

    Gorgonzola burger. Delicious
    Tammy L.

    Stopped by for an early dinner before a show at the Village Theater. They were busy but not at capacity. The staff were friendly and helpful. QR menus are not my favorite but I see the convenience. Loved that they had a nice selection of nonalcoholic options and I was able to try a new Athletic NA beer flavor. The Gorgonzola burger was delicious. The fries were good. The berry crisp with ice cream was excellent. It was a nice little weeknight dinner. Will be back to try more things on their menu.

    After an iffy experience with their pasta, we decided to give this place another try. Came in on a busy Friday night without a reservation and were quoted about 20 minutes for a table. There is nowhere to wait, so we went for a cocktail somewhere else. They call you when your table is ready, which is convenient. Our service was consistently slower than we would have liked, but again, they were busy and I could tell that the server was trying to give us time-- it was just a little too much time. On to the food, we decided to start with the new maple gochujang brussel sprouts, they were great. My only issue was that they weren't consistent. The favor wasn't evenly distributed. I would still get them again though. My husband got the Gorgonzola burger and I got their version of a fried chicken banh mi. Both were to die for; well executed; flavor filled; chefs kiss!

    Buttermilk Brined Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ regular fries
    Paul ..

    Came here after a hike with some buddies. They had a large menu, and I ended getting the Buttermilk Brined Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich. I was honestly surprised how flavorful it was, the chicken was so good and crispy. I got it with regular fries which were kind of dry. One of my buddies got the pub fries with their entree and it was scrumptious. Excited to come back and try other things on the menu! Service and ambiance were great as well, highly recommend this spot!

    We come to this place at least once a week. I love the hummus platter. They change it every season. They have a nice list of different cocktails and a above average Whisky list. This is a great place to hang out at the bar especially in the summer when they roll up the garage style doors to the outside street. They also have a back patio to dine if the weather is nice. Friendly staff and great Chef. The Poblano soup is the best I have had. Great place for lunch and dinner.

    We've been to this restaurant twice - once for dinner and once for brunch. This place gets very crowded during the evening hours (even the bar was packed), so I'm not sure if they take reservations. We came as a couple and didn't have to wait long as we opted to sit outside. The dinner menu is vast and very interesting. We're looking forward to trying more of their menu. We were excited to learn that they had a brunch menu and made a point to visit in the morning. That being said, next time we won't arrive right at open. Since Levitate isn't known for being a breakfast place, seating was essentially completely open. The menu had a variety of selections from savory to sweet. Our only issue was it took our food 40ish minutes to arrive. Next time we visit for brunch, we'll definitely arrive later in the morning. Staff is always friendly and upbeat. Tables and dining areas are clean. Cuisine is unique and tasty. Street parking is hit or miss.

    Braised Pork & Pickled Pepper Flatbread
    Lauren S.

    My son's doctor's office is in Issaquah, so when we make it out to the area we make a point to try out a new spot for lunch. We had passed Levitate a few times and noticed how cute it looked and how it's family friendly, so decided to head in! It's bigger than we anticipated with plenty of indoor seating. There's outdoor seating out front with large garage style windows, and in the back there's covered patio seating (which is where we opted to sit). Cute ambiance and perfect for warm days! I got the appetizer flatbread, braised pork and hot pickled peppers. It was delicious, but a LOT more loaded than I expected. A little hard to eat but still good. My boyfriend also enjoyed the tacos. Overall, a great lunch spot that I'm sure we'll return to!

The place was packed and we ended up having to wait by the door for fifteen minutes before being seated. I wish there was more space by the entryway because it made the wait so awkward.

The menu was so huge it was difficult to decide on what to order. My family settled on sharing the hot chicken wings in buffalo sauce appetizer and the triple pig pizza. Both tasted exactly like we expected and were flavourful and delicious. For dessert I asked about the chef's special which ended up being apple pie à la mode! I was super excited to order it and it was the best apple pie I've ever had in my entire life. Even my mom who doesn't normally like pie was totally obsessed with how yummy it was.

We went up to the bar to order our food and drinks, and sat at a table with our drinks. We maybe were there about five to ten minutes and our food came out, fresh and hot and with amazing scents of delightful ingredients. I had the Spicy Burger, which comes with a *six* ounce patty, with cheese, lettuce & tomato and onion, and a spicy chipotle mayo sauce and pickled jalapenos on a brioche. I *love* spicy food anyway, and this hit the spot. Spicy enough to fill the craving I had, and juicy enough that I needed a dozen extra napkins to catch all the juices and spices. My wife had the fish & chips. The fish was made with battered cod, and it was flaky and tender to the point of being "fall apart in your mouth" fresh. The tartar sauce was very good, too. And we both were so very pleased with the fries. They cut the potatoes into strips maybe 1/4" thick and 1/2" wide, but then they dip them in beer batter before deep-frying them. They were *amazing* - crisp and hot and tasty, and well seasoned. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and we have made it a plan that the brewery will become one of the local restaurants we will return to often for a good meal after a hard day.
