Not sure what this person was complaining about, I went to Pogacha and had an amazing dining experience. The food is to die for, the ambiance is mellow and great, and the service was impeccable - potentially the best Italian cafe on the Eastside! Pros: Authentic Adriatic, Italian Food w/ Northwest Cons: None

We've been twice in Pogacha, the first time the food was OK, nothing special, the second time we went with our parents, they ask for Lamb Shanks, when the food arrive, my mom just took the first bite and did not want to finish the meal: "It tasted like carton, this is terrible, I never ever in my life had such of horrible meal " I ask the server to take the dish way, we left hungry and we paid like $120 for 4 people, I am still very impressed when I see there parking lot full. What for the people are still going to this place, Horrible service, Horrible food. They should be closed! Pros: The worst food in Issaquah

We went to Pogacha again and no surpise we got another grumpy waitress. What do they say to their staff to make them look and act like they are in a terrible mood? They seemed annoyed that we had the nerve to ask for drinks. It is such a lovely place and would be perfect if the staff were not so awful. I've never been to a place with such consistent bad service before. Come on, please listen to the public and do somthing about the really bad servers. We always had to wait an extremely long time to get to order drinks then even longer to get them to the table. We were all afraid to ask the server because she looked like she just didnt want to be there at all. Noone there was happy about the attitude. Ridiculous behaviour. Pros: Real nice garlic fries and happy hour Cons: terrible service - grumpy and slow servers

I took my dad to easter brunch at the pogacha in Issaquah. Have driven by it many times and wanted to try it out. The brunch was great! The staff was friendly and my waitress was very attentive. Maybe it's different during normal dinner hours but we both felt the brunch was delicious. They had lots of choices and nothing ever ran out...staff were there cleaning up messes left by patrons and the atmosphere was friendly. We were there quite some time but never felt pressured to hurry up. I can't wait to take my mother in law there for mothers day and will definetly try it out on a 'normal' dinner night.

Awful Experience. Last weekend was the final straw. I will never go back. Yes, typically the little doggy biscuits served before the meal are stale, and the quality of the entr?es is somewhat inconsistent, but sometimes it?s good. All right, so my girlfriend and I have been going to Pogacha for more than 2-years now and for the last year or so it seems like the staff members are going out of their way to harass us. Let me first say, there are several good waitresses at Pogacha, however, last weekend, one bad waitress in the bar stopped serving us drinks after having only two each. Why? I wish I knew. We were just quietly having a good time, sitting by ourselves listening to the music and holding hands. When In asked the waitress, her only excuse was that she thought she saw me stumble on the way to the restroom?. What a crock of $#! +, and a lame excuse!!! Sorry. It must be a personal thing with that waitress because the same thing has happened to us before. In fact, one time a few months ago she refused to serve my girlfriend. ?I thought I saw her stumble? she said. Really, we had just walked in, sat down and hadn?t even had a drink. Anyway, back to last weekend, after paying the bill with zero tip (which I never do), and writing "You $uck" on the customer comment card (which I seldom do), one of the other bad staff members came up to me (I think she may have been the bartender) with a real bad attitude and told us to get out and that she was calling the cops. I asked ?why would you call the cops on us?, and she only repeated, "get out!" Hmmm? I was a bit miffed. I asked again but got nowhere with her so we decided to leave this lousy place. Okay Pogacha?I thought this was a free country and ok, so ?You $uck? may have been an immature thing for me to write but come on!!! Calling the cops and kicking us out because why (waitress) is a bit ridiculous. Aren?t we supposed to write our comments on the card, good or bad? So readers, before going out looking for a quiet, romantic and relaxing place to sit and have a cocktail and listen to music, take this experience into consideration. I?m sure we are not the only ones who have been treated so disrespectfully at Pogacha. Pros: It could be a good place, but... Cons: Rude and discriminating staff

I have been going here for years. I can't comment on the comments on the lamb & chicken below as I never order these. I have had a filet before and it was tasty. I usually order Pogachas (pizzas), Cesears, or their pastas as I think this is what they are more known for. Their Dobar Chicken pasta is TO DIE FOR. It is a delciously rich treat. Their service can be hit or miss but the server we had last time was right on the money. I went with my sister and her two young children and he was awesome with us (sometimes it can be hard with two little busy boys).

My family has enjoyed Pogacha in Issaquah for almost 15 years. The food is always quite good (usually pizza and/or pasta dishes for my family), the service usually good, and the iced tea divine in my opinion! I like that the kids can color on the table while waiting for the meal, which is usually quickly prepared. Out of the very numerous visits to Pogacha, we have had only one poor experience, which was quickly and kindly handled by the manager with an apology and a complimentary gift card in addition to taking care of our bill - not at all expected, but much appreciated. We love the pogacha bread with olive oil and balsamic too . . . We'll definitely go back again soon.

Great happy hour prices. This place is busy during happy hour. We spent an hour or so during happy hour before heading over for dinner. Dinner selection is not bad. We were there on a busy night. Service was very good. I wouldn't mind going back.
