Response to Jayhawk(Chef Matt)

The Iris has made regulars out of us...

We were here over the weekend and had a great experience. We have been there on numerous occasions for the no corkage fee Sunday's, which is just a nice little reason to go there on Sunday vs. a similar...

Was that a horrible experience or what?

There was so much that went so wrong I could write for hours...Let's see...Arrogant service: These guys act like they are doing you a favor. Do I want to be treated in this way? No, and certainly not for the...

Unacceptable Service

My wife and I pitch up for an early dinner. We are the first to arrive, the only customers. We are seated in the back, right next to the kitchen door! We ask if it's possible to be moved to a different table...

Overall, an excellent restaurant

We live in Bellevue, near a lot of great restaurants, but we frequently travel the distance to Issaquah's Gilman Village just to get a meal at the Iris Grill. We love the rapid, friendly service and...

Hidden Gem

This is one of the best restaurants in Issaquah. It's in a little shopping area and tucked away towards the back. It's definitely worth checking out.

Superb dining experience

After being told the wait was two hours at Jak's, leaving the COHO because we were totally ignored, we tried the Iris for dinner. We had been there for happy hour and loved it, and dinner was amazing. From the...

Very dissapointed

My family of 5 (two adults and 3 children) had a reservation and we allowed ourselves almost two hours as we had a show nearby to catch. We let them know as soon as we arrived that we needed to be out by a...

Not what expected

My family and I went out for dinner on Sunday night to the Iris Grill. We were seated promptly but the service left something to be desired. The waiter was not attentive to our needs and there was no excuse...

Way to go Issaquah!

Tucked in the old buildings of Gillman Village is the sophisticated, yet still down to earth Iris Grill. Tuesday nights 1/2 price wines up to $70. We were guided through the mostly northwest wine list to a...
