Issaquah Eats: The Black Duck Cask and Bottle Gastropub

The Black Duck Cask & Bottle is one of those rare gems of a gastropub outside the city of Seattle that I’m reluctant to share because it’s such an amazing spot. I am particularly picky about where my partner & I go to eat. It’s not just about the food, but it’s about the ambiance of where we’re going and lately I’ve been into finding places outside of Bellevue.

I love that brand and being able to just browse for a moment was a dream come true. It got way too hot so we made our way back to the hotel to prepare for a model fitting and the first fashion show of our week. Stay tuned for a post dedicated to our evening event. It was truly inspiring.…
