They helped with all of the details including food/drink recommendations and the price was very affordable (compared to similar places in Bellevue for example). Most importantly, the majority of my party guests commented to me how great the environment was, how pleasant the staff was and how delicious the beverages were! I would highly recommend Capri Cellars for someone looking for a very chill environment to host a get-together with friends.

Highly discourage anyone coming to this establishment if your goal is to enjoy some good wine and a…read morepositive, relaxed experience. We came in with high expectations, and unfortunately this place fell well below even our lowest expectations. The biggest issue was the wine itself. We tried several different glasses, and every one was terrible. The wines tasted spoiled and heat-damaged, which raised serious concerns for us about how the bottles were being stored and handled. For a business positioning itself as a wine-focused establishment--and charging accordingly--that is unacceptable. When the wine is the centerpiece of the experience, getting the wine right should be the absolute minimum. The service somehow made the experience worse. Despite there being only one other occupied table, the servers were inattentive and unable to answer basic questions about the wines being offered. The staff seemed considerably more interested in looking at their phones and talking amongst themselves than engaging with customers. The entire experience felt awkward, unprofessional, and remarkably cheap compared with the prices being charged. There is a major disconnect between this establishment's price point and the quality of its wine, service, and overall experience. You're paying wine-bar prices without receiving anything resembling a proper wine-bar experience. I've received substantially better wine service at casual tasting rooms and wine porches in the Yakima Valley. At least there, you typically get properly presented wine, knowledgeable staff, genuine hospitality, and some sense that the people serving you actually care about what is in your glass. Knowing this establishment is under new ownership made the experience particularly disappointing. Based solely on our visit, quality wine, knowledgeable service, and creating a polished guest experience did not appear to be priorities. We will not return. There are simply too many excellent places to spend your money where you can enjoy properly handled wine, good food, knowledgeable service, and an atmosphere that actually justifies the price. Save your money and go elsewhere.

The Black Duck is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant and bar in Issaquah. I can vouch for the…read moremushroom burger and the duck pizza, as well as some of the whiskey cocktails. The burger is thick and really juicy, great bun and aioli. The fries are perfectly crispy. The pizza had a really great, I'm assuming wood-fired, crust. The duck was tender and sweet and there was a lot of arugula. It's a sparser craft pizza, which is just so delicious when you are looking for something a little heavy but not over the top. While they boast about their craft beer offerings, they have a great cocktail list as well, and I love that they have a specific whiskey cocktail section as well, with a few that are less common at some bars. The Brooklyn is probably my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. Also, a fellow patron asked for a Toronto and the bartender was happy to look it up and make it for him. And what about the atmosphere here?! It's so wonderful in summer! With its narrow design giving a sense that an entire wall opens to the outside and the patio that extends beyond, it feels Ike you are vacationing somewhere tropical and beachy. This somehow combines really well with the industrial vibe of the interior. They also have some TV's for sports. The service is very friendly, attentive, interactive, and helpful. One thing that was consistent across my three visits, however, was the feeling that the place is always understaffed, so things tend to move slowly. I'm not sure this is the case, it's just the feel you get when it happens the times you visit. This is a bit of a double-edged sword though, since it's such an easy place to just want to sip and nibble slowly while delving into conversation. So, that's not enough to detract a star for now, and honestly I'm already thinking about when I get to eat here again!

It was a short drive from Maple Valley. Easy to find parking nearby. We were early for our reservation, but they warmly welcomed us and seated us right away. Very intimate dining room with seating for around 35 people max. Nice red cloth table cloths. Our waiter was Luis. He has been working for this Restaurant for eight years now he shared and did an outstanding job. He recommended antipasti starter platter that was delicious. Are entrées were perfectly prepared. Fresh vegetables, and seafood in both dishes. Our server constantly monitored our table for water, glass refills, and removed any empty plates we had. He suggested several things to cap off the evening and we ended up getting the tiramisu. Absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend this if you're looking for great authentic Italian cuisine in the Maple Valley/Issaquah area.

The pasta was cooked well and flavors were solid, just not anything that really stood out or made me eager to come back for a specific dish. The space was very loud, making it difficult to have a relaxed conversation, and the bright lighting took away from what I'd usually expect to be a warm, cozy Italian dining experience. What really stood out was the service. It was exceptional from start to finish--attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. The staff clearly care about their guests, and that made a big difference in the overall experience. In summary: decent food, less-than-ideal ambiance, but truly outstanding service.

I usually just get takeout from here but tonight I dined in with some family…read more The food was fantastic but unfortunately the service was absolutely awful. Our waitress (who did not give her name) was not very friendly or attentive. She even interrupted and skipped my family member as they were beginning to order and asked someone else for their order next. It made no sense and was strange. On top of that she just kind of gave a "I don't want to be here and I'm annoyed" vibe. After we got our bill we noticed that some of the charges were incorrect. A kids meal order was rung up wrong, charging extra money for meat even though it was included, and a kids drink was charged as an adult. We kindly tried to explain that she charged us incorrectly and if she could please fix it. She started explaining that we had ordered the kids burrito not taco, even though we definitely ordered, she definitely inputted, and we were most certainly delivered a kids taco. She then said that we needed to clearly specify that it was a kids lemonade even though it was clearly implied that the lemonade was for a child. I guess that's on us cause we didn't say "kids lemonade"? Like come on... She was not kind or helpful about the issue at all and refused to fix the bill. We left frustrated and discouraged to go back. Be ware of the bad service if you're looking to dine in.
