Wonderful friendly service and great food and wine list. Prices are very reasonable too and parking is easy. Will come back for patio seating when the weather warms!

Its June 2024 and this is still an outstanding restaurant. I would skip everywhere else in Issaquah to eat at this place. The food was incredible. The menu is full of family recipes that make this place stand out from other Greek places. Put this restaurant on a must eat at place. Definitely worth traveling to.

My wife and I had a wonderful date night at Tantalus! Excellent service, delicious food, and a wonderful location made for a special evening for us! My wife had vegetarian mousaka and Kokinisto arnica. For dessert, we had Galactoboureko! It was good.
