Levitate Gastropub

I've visited twice. I'll take you through the highs and lows. Service was spectacular on both occasions - friendly, attentive and fast.Appetizers were pretty solid. The brussel sprouts stole the show and the pretzels were definitely a crowd pleaser. Chicken wings were yummy but could have been a bit more flavorful. Fantastic place to stop for drinks and snacks.Only ordered dinner on the second occasion. I got the Greek falafel burger with a side salad. The "falafel" patty really just tasted like pureed chickpeas. The salad would have been a showstopper except it was just drowning in dressing.. definitely will ask for dressing on the side next time.My kid ordered "fish poppers". They were gross. I hope it's not a reflection of the fish and chips on the main menu.Hubby got a gorgonzola burger with truffle fries and absolutely loved it. I think I'll go that route if we have dinner there again.

Oh, my goodness. Chef Angie nailed it on the new menu.We had to Jalapeño poppers, BUTTERMILK BRINED KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH, and the tri tip French dip Every bite had such great flavor. The Jalapeño poppers were the best we've ever had. An amazing pair of ingredients Our entrees were delightful. The chicken sandwich had enough spice to make it taste good but not overpower all the other ingredients. My chicken was crisp and moist. The dip was loaded with beef. It was easy to bite through and bite with the bread. The roll was nice and crunchy on the outside. The au jus was so.good I drank what I had left after eating the sandwich. We split our entrees to try both. Oh, and their levitate salad is fresh, flavorful, and delighful.

We've been to this restaurant twice - once for dinner and once for brunch.This place gets very crowded during the evening hours (even the bar was packed), so I'm not sure if they take reservations. We came as a couple and didn't have to wait long as we opted to sit outside. The dinner menu is vast and very interesting. We're looking forward to trying more of their menu.We were excited to learn that they had a brunch menu and made a point to visit in the morning. That being said, next time we won't arrive right at open. Since Levitate isn't known for being a breakfast place, seating was essentially completely open. The menu had a variety of selections from savory to sweet. Our only issue was it took our food 40ish minutes to arrive. Next time we visit for brunch, we'll definitely arrive later in the morning.Staff is always friendly and upbeat. Tables and dining areas are clean. Cuisine is unique and tasty. Street parking is hit or miss.

My son's doctor's office is in Issaquah, so when we make it out to the area we make a point to try out a new spot for lunch. We had passed Levitate a few times and noticed how cute it looked and how it's family friendly, so decided to head in! It's bigger than we anticipated with plenty of indoor seating. There's outdoor seating out front with large garage style windows, and in the back there's covered patio seating (which is where we opted to sit). Cute ambiance and perfect for warm days! I got the appetizer flatbread, braised pork and hot pickled peppers. It was delicious, but a LOT more loaded than I expected. A little hard to eat but still good. My boyfriend also enjoyed the tacos. Overall, a great lunch spot that I'm sure we'll return to!

Just visiting the area and my wife and I did dinner on a Thursday at Levitate Gastropub with our daughter and her family. Had appetizers and enjoyed the hummus plate and large pretzels. Burgers were good and both the basic Levitate burger and the Gorgonzola burger are recommended. Kids had Mac and cheese, which was fair but could have been cheesier. Adults tried an array of beers. We pretty much agreed that the Amber lager and the hoppier of the IPAs were best. Fries were a little soggy, but the atmosphere was a fun and laid back, and the service was very good. All in all, a good experience, and one we would do again.

We went here on a Saturday and had the brunch. I had the chilaquiles and it was fantastic! Different from most chilaquiles as it ate more like nachos but, boy, it was soooo tasty. I'm definitely going back. I also rated my friend's fish and it was delicious! Crispy without being greasy and the cod was sweet and cooked perfectly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was I'm not in love with the hard chairs.

Stopped by for an early dinner before a show at the Village Theater. They were busy but not at capacity. The staff were friendly and helpful. QR menus are not my favorite but I see the convenience. Loved that they had a nice selection of nonalcoholic options and I was able to try a new Athletic NA beer flavor. The Gorgonzola burger was delicious. The fries were good. The berry crisp with ice cream was excellent. It was a nice little weeknight dinner. Will be back to try more things on their menu.

We came here on a Saturday and while business was steady, we were instantly greeted and opted to sit at the bar rail. Our bartender was attentive and knowledgeable. I ordered their new pappardelle pasta with a salmon substitute for the shrimp and my husband ordered a burger, which he enjoyed. My pasta looked amazing. However, once I put my fork into it, I quickly realized that the pasta was all stuck together in a ball, underneath the sauce. I literally had to cut it into chunks of noodles stuck together-- not a single noodle could be separated from another one. And they tasted like salt water. The pasta sauce was flavorless.. it is listed as spicy but I had to ask for red pepper flakes and saturate it in order for it to have any flavor at all. The salmon was cooked well and tasted great; I was starving so I ate what I could. I gave the place 4 stars for service and the ambiance. The burger was good. My item just wasn't. It happens. The item IS new, as well.. so I took that into consideration. Hopefully their kitchen staff improves the execution of this item.

Was there today around 1pm. There was a steady pace of customers, but it wasn't crazy busy. Ordered brunch. Asked for my eggs to be over-easy and they came out sunny side up. Two of us ordered breakfast items. While the taste was good, both meals came out lukewarm. Breakfast items are not good cold/lukewarm (breakfast potatoes were cold). My husband ordered a salad with a chicken breast. It came out almost 15 minutes after our breakfast plates came out. Service was slow (very slow). Our waitress was not attentive. Drinks were not refilled and we had to ask for our check, then had to go find her to finalize the bill. All-around poor experience. I do like the atmosphere here, so I still gave it a couple of stars.

Went there for Father's Day breakfast. Waitstaff was very young and inexperienced but they did fine and were friendly. I felt sorry for them because due to the three level layout they were required to navigate a long set of stairs carrying heavy trays of food up and down those stairs. Seems pretty risky but they seemed to be up to the task. The meals were not remarkable but got the job done. They were just fine. We were annoyed that they don't have paper menus. They expect their customers to use their cellphones to access a QR code! First time us dinosaurs have had such a request!? They finally brought over an iPad that was hard to read in the lighting they had. In our opinion, this should not be a requirement. We only use our cellphones to make phone calls. All in all, we had a satisfying experience and will likely return for a meal other than breakfast.
