    We were in the round booth and it worked well for a work meeting. We were there on a Monday for lunch, so it was pretty quiet. Food was good, and service is always good there.

    We really enjoyed our anniversary lunch with our best friends at WildFin! Our server (Amanda) was great and she (or WildFin treated us to a delicious ice cream - forgot to ask what the flavor was, but we really enjoyed it. Food portions were very generous - 2 of us took home enough for lunch today! The fish tacos for the other two had so much good stuff that they were wishing they came in larger tortillas. Considering what a good time we had, this is relatively minor, but we were seated next to the kitchen, even though only one other table in the whole restaurant had any people seated. I understand the efficiency of it clustering your guests together and near the kitchen, but it was the noisiest part of the restaurant and on the opposite side from the windows (where gorgeous autumn sunshine was streaming in). Sorry to end with that, when we had such a good lunch, but want you to know. Even though we don't live in Issaquah, WildFin is well worth driving to, and we'll be back!

    Service top notch Went for salmon week. Salmon was wonderful. Wish the Brussels were a little more charred instead of steamed. Made reservations and was seated right on time Can be a little loud near the kitchen. Place was packed for good reason

    Wildfin had some weak reviews for poor service. They have obviously taken the issue seriously and addressed it with gusto. Hosting staff, wait staff, and even kitchen staff were friendly, solicitous, prompt and effective. The food was tasty and portions were generous. I believe Wildfin deserves another chance.

    The food and ambience was good but the reason for my review is the staff. From the person who greeted us to our server and everyone else we encountered, what a friendly, warm group. And that is saying something in this era of short-staffed establishments. Well done Wildfin!

    Very mediocre. I brought my two grand daughters fir dinner and expected their parents to join us after. I can’t believe what we paid for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and a poor excuse for garlic scallops and shrimp. The ambiance was fine but the restaurant is marked as kid friendly and I’m not sure that’s accurate. Anyway, I didn’t appreciate the price for the food. It was not very good. Overcooked seafood, undercooked broccolini, and artichokes that were hit or miss (some could not be chewed). The garlic stayed with me for hours. The waitress was clearly annoyed.

    My friends and I went there for lunch. My friend ordered the harvest salad and added chicken at an additional cost of $9.95. Her salad entree ended up being almost $20.00. This chicken addition was a TERRIBLE value as the amount of chicken provided was only a few bites worth- my guess about 1/4th of a chicken breast if that. For a cost of $10, we all felt like Wild Fin had hoodwinked her in a bad upsell. We all cook and know that the even with the rising costs of chicken, if a restaurant is going to charge $9.95 to add chicken to a salad to make it an "entree", then provide a fair value amount instead of a few bites worth. Or sell it as a small plate rather than an entree. On a positive note, my fish tacos at $17.95 were delicious and a much better value and good portion. Our server was attentive and did a nice job.

    This is becoming our after-show meal when we want a great meal to complement our time together. Surprisingly good food for a neighborhood spot that rivals most of the upscale Seattle restaurants. It was my second time dining here, and this time I brought my family. Make sure you save room for dessert, but if you have friends, consider a shared meal of their amazing appetizers! Primarily seafood but have good quality meat dishes, too. It is an ok place for a vegetarian, but service is excellent, and accommodations can be made on most any dish.

    The Turkey club was basically falling apart when it was brought to us and the avocado spread was not fresh (it had turned black). Finally the whipped topping on the coconut cream pie tasted old. Not a good food experience.

    Dinner reservation. Sunday evening. Food was excellent. Server, Carmen, was excellent. But, she had to shout in order to be heard above the general noise level. Open kitchen concept added to the noise level by letting us hear every pot, utensil and glassware clang, bang and contact. Conversation was impossible. Carmen served one of the very loud tables next to us first, in order to get food into their mouths as one diner was yelling (in order to be heard by his across the table companion) proper ways to cut meat and both were shouting "what?" "say again?" at each other. All in all it was a miserable and expensive experience saved only by the delicious food and Carmen's apologetic acknowledgment that she could do nothing about the noise level. We left with full bellies and raging headaches. I suggest installing simple noise baffling. It's a no brainer.

    Food was excellent, restaurant was a little cold at first, we asked them to turn down the AC and then it was fine. The is a LOT of noise and we asked to be sit in the "quietest" corner that they had. Which they did... but with a table of 6 of us, it was still hard to have conversations across the table at times.

    Food was amazing! I got the grilled ribeye and shared with friends at table and we all agreed that it tasted SO good, even like BUTTER it was so soft. My sister had the halibut and it was excellent. Our friend had the trout... also amazing. For dessert we would recommend the peach cobbler (off menu) and the ridiculous chocolate dessert, both warm and with vanilla bean ice cream. For 4 of us, we needed to request extra ice cream. Our server was Jennifer and we all felt that she made our dining experience super special... she was attentive, totally took care of us, and was not too much, if you know what I mean. I thought I wanted a glass of wine or a sazerac with my steak, and Jennifer brought me a taste of the paired wine choice and after tasting it I decided that I really did not want to have alcohol and she did not seem to care one bit that I did not get a drink. One thing...it was FREEZING COLD inside! We had to move to be next to the fireplace... which was no problem for waitstaff. But just a warning to bring something warm to wear inside.

    Good food with large portions. Would recommend sharing entrees unless you want leftovers or are a big eater. My first time at the restaurant. We went for a birthday lunch celebration. Shared the corn ribs appetizer. Very good and spicy. I had the oyster po boy which was very good, but I could only eat half. Birthday person had the pappardelle with mushrooms and sausage and enough leftovers for another meal. Summer seasonal salad with arugula, strawberries, pumpkin seeds, etc. Also shared the seasonal peach cobbler.
