Best Romantic Restaurants in Issaquah

We have eaten at the Calcutta Grill quite a few times with friends, family, for birthday celebrations and just because we wanted a good dinner. Our birthday celebration tonight did not disappoint. The ambiance, the service, and the menu options were excellent. We will be returning again soon!

I have been going to Montalcino during the holiday season for around 7 years now, even during COVID when they set up a tent in the outside parking lot. Clearly, it has always been very good and that is why I keep returning. However, tonight the experience rose to "superb." The special assorted appetizer was beautifully arranged and tasted as good as it looked. My saffron lobster go-to dish was perfect. The other dishes--lamb shank, waygu meatballs and pasta in a Marsala sauce, and short rib raviolis in Marsala sauce also made the other guests very pleased! For dessert, the cannoli, pistachio cheesecake, Italian sundae, and Limoncello gelato were all excellent for topping off a memorable meal. Our waitress was very attentive and the atmosphere was so casually and comfortably elegant that the entire experience was top notch. Will not be able to wait until next year's holiday season to return again! Thank you, Montalcino!

Eating a La Mar is an entertaining and delicious dining experience. If you have never had Peruvian food, just looking at the menu is intimidating. Our server made this experience wonderful and memorable. She broke down the menu making it simple to understand and recommended the options and progression of food. The dishes are served beautifully plated and are delicious. Best seafood I have had in Bellevue - move over sushi restaurants , new game in town!

Carmine’s is one of the best food experiences we have had in awhile! Service was exceptional, the lobster pasta special was a dream, the fillet with gnocchi was lovely. And the bread pudding was amazing. Thank you for a great evening. We will be back!

We ordered the green bean appetizer and it was light but very tasty. For the main course I ordered a pesto based shrimp pasta and it was delicious. They are always on point with their pasta dishes.
