My friend and I waited 1.5 hours on a Sunday morning and it was worth it! The chicken goat cheese…read morefocaccia sandwich and cauliflower were both amazing, perfectly balanced and well-cooked. We got the lemon poppyseed cake and it was the biggest slice of cake I've ever seen (photos don't do it justice, it was bigger than our heads!) - it was a bit too sweet for my liking but the savory dishes were really delicious. I would love to try other items on their menu. We got seated at the outside bar table. Our servers were sweet and friendly. Parking lot in front with limited spots. Come early because it gets busy!

Came on a weekend when it was really crowded. Really excited to try this place as I've heard good…read morethings about it and love that they use fresh farm ingredients. Had a total party size of two. We even added our names, but when we got led to our seats, we were put at the barstools. There were plenty of other parties of two that arrived after us that got tables plus there were some empty tables for two that we saw as well. So we requested a table instead of the bar area, but the server told us the manager didn't want us sitting there. Didn't make much sense when there were empty tables. Maybe they had some reasoning or structure for weekend crowds they they had to follow, not sure, but we had to stay seated at the bar area. We ordered a Margherita pizza to split as well as a slice of carrot cake as I've heard a lot of good things about these items. The pizza had really fresh ingredients and the sauce and tomatoes were tasty, however the dough was incredibly salty and made it difficult to eat. This was my first time at Deru Market, but I assume it isn't always this salty and could have been a one-time thing. The slice of carrot cake was pretty expensive (around $14) but it's huge and good to split amongst 2-3 people. I liked the generous serving of nuts and shredded carrot inside. Cream cheese frosting was still a bit too sweet for me (think I prefer Deep Sea Sugar and Salt's to this) and I had to remove most of it, but the cake was overall pretty good though a little on the dry side. I get why this place is popular, but I don't think I had the best first time experience here. With the high number of positive reviews though, maybe they were just having a bad day since it was a Saturday and pretty crowded, so I'm hoping to come back again in the future, during like a seasonal special if they have any.

The giant pretzel is a must-order, and the cheese curds are exactly how they should be--crispy on the outside with the perfect amount of chewy cheese inside. We also loved the nachos and the spicy chicken sandwich, which had just the right amount of heat. The cocktails are fantastic. I had one with "Beach" in the name, and it literally tasted like a vacation in a glass. If you're an Old Fashioned fan, ask for Bodie--he's one of the best bartenders around and makes an incredible one. Whether you're enjoying the spacious patio on a sunny day or hanging out inside, there's plenty of room to relax. Great food, great drinks, and great service--highly recommend!

This is a fun dog friendly space. The service was great!…read more I'd say the pricing was a bit high for what you get. We ordered the blackened salmon sandwich, a basic hot dog, and two drinks. Our tab was almost $100. The sandwich had no seasonings that I could see and was pretty plain. I'd probably come back for a happy hour, but would eat elsewhere.

After waiting in line we were up next, the cashier said they were no longer serving breakfast, it was 11:02 by the time it was our turn to order. Leaving this review since it was a poor customer experience to not have been told when we called about the breakfast hours and not been served when we were in line before they stopped breakfast. That being said the establishment is nice and cozy, the staff were friendly, and they seemed to have a good selection on their menu.

It didn't enhance the flavor, so I scraped it off. He ordered the breakfast platter and said it was okay. The potatoes with mama lil's peppers were great. The eggs tasted like powdered eggs, tho. Our drinks and the banana bread we got were all good. I'd go back!

We arrived around 5pm on a weekday and was maybe the only other party in the restaurant. There's an…read moreunderground garage below the restaurant. There's a sign that says parking for Island Soul. We mistakenly went to the adjacent underground parking garage. You tell the waiter your license plate to validate parking. The chickpea curry was a bit bland.

Island Soul is AWESOME! Island Soul bought/replaced Arleana's in downtown Kirkland. I have always…read morewanted to dine at the Island Soul in Columbia City, but it was always crowded requiring some planning. We made a reservation the day before easily. The interior is superb. This place would be great for date-night or get a drink or have a family meal. Our server was attentive and helpful, making a change for us last minute with a 'I gotcha ya' attitude - LOVE! Thank you! The food is so, so good! The Seattle area doesn't have enough 'soul', southern, creole, 'island' type of foods. This place fills the perfect niche. I have the urge to say 'hmmm, hmmm' dining here! Yum! Parking is free under the building, and nearby street parking tends to be available, too. The Food: Blackened Salmon, $33 - 5 Stars Menu: Salmon, corn soubise, fried plantains, fried okra We both wanted this as our main dish, so this is a 2X. The salmon is perfectly seasoned and grilled. You can SEE the seasoning on the fish. So glad they included pieces of okra. The frying/searing gives it the perfect chew. Fried Green Tomatoes, $15 - 5 Stars Menu: Green tomatoes, panko, egg, onion, Buddha's belly seasoning This dish is known as their must order. I have no clue what Buddha's belly seasoning is, but I can tell you it is tasty. Fried green tomatoes is a perfect southern dish (and I will always think about the movie). Wings, Jerk seasoning, $18 - 5 Stars Like many, we're suckers for wings. Even better if the seasoning is different. Jerk wings is rightfully popular, here. The sauce is generously applied, and every bit is delicious. The flavorful foods will have me returning for sure!

I was a bit disappointed with the portion of my Nasi Lemak with Pork Belly seasonal dish. The rice took up most of the dish. For the price it seemed a small proportion. No one raved about the food as we ate either. I forgot to ask everyone's opinions. The decoration was cute and almost like a hostel with all the Malaysian and USA flags. The staff was very kind and friendly.

Everyone seemed to be having a good time, and the karaoke definitely added to the energy of the night. It is a great place to go with friends if you want somewhere casual where you can grab drinks, sing, laugh, and just have a good time. I also tried the Scooby Snack, and honestly, it almost killed me It was absolutely delicious, but it was SO strong. The crazy part is that you can barely taste the alcohol, so it is very easy to drink without realizing how much alcohol is actually in it. It is sweet, fruity, and honestly way too easy to enjoy. Definitely one of those drinks where you need to be careful because it tastes like juice but does not drink like juice. My only complaint was the automatic gratuity. I would have preferred to have the option to decide the tip myself, especially since gratuity was automatically added to the bill. Aside from that, I had a really fun experience. The bartenders were friendly, the karaoke was entertaining, and the drinks were tasty. I would definitely come back for another night of karaoke and drinks with friends!
