inconsistent. update 6/10/2012 we've been going to coho issaquah for some time now. i've concluded that their food is inconsistent...both good and bad. i'm writing an update because the last time there was so disappointing that i vowed never to go there again. worst of all, it was for an (overpriced) ordinary meal...burgers, fries and drinks.
update 9/27/2011 - i had the salmon burger and it was great! fresh and perfectly spiced. the wife had a burger...bleh! she hated it. how do you screw up a burger? the moral of the story, be careful what you order at coho. fish seems to be good overall.
update 9/17/2011 - we went to coho again and had salmon and prime rib. surprisingly bland aside from the mash potatoes. left there feeling a bit disappointed and will probably not return for a while.
issaquah is full of the typical chains eateries and this is what i expected from coho.
my wife had the generous plate of fish and chips and the fish was fresh, moist and battered on the spot. i had the braised short rib with egg on top stack. this tasty concoction was over salted but anything with eggs on top is for me. as we were eating, we saw many other plates of interesting food pass by.
the best part of the place was thea, our waitress. she was very attentive and genuine. good service goes a long way...especially when you are new. we felt welcomed and had fun.
this place is a bit beyond the typically cafe in town. they serve dishes with their own twist. a little overpriced but well worth it. interesting menu that will keep you comingbackfor more. coho attempts to be different and they succeed. we'll definitely be goingbackthere to try more...a lot more!
