"Had never been there, but would now go back in a heartbeat. Only thing is, the traffic on 405 was a real bear...so, allow a little extra time for the possibility of traffic delay. The food was good, the wine was good, and the server was excellent--very friendly, very knowledgable, and aiming to please."

"Great food, service and wine. Only complaint was after a long (and expensive) dining experience - our waiter was "pushing" us to leave. He came to the table every ten minutes asking if we wanted our food and wine boxed. It was very annoying. When we asked if he wanted us to close out - he kept telling us no, but then would push us to box our food. It was 9 at night."

"I like the Purple most of the time. Unfortunately, we had the loudest (actually yelling) toddler sitting next to our table. Not the Purple's fault but definitely a lunch wrecker. I'll be back. :)"

"Nice place, with interesting food choices (I enjoyed the Wild Boar pasta dish!). It seems overpriced though, we spent a good chunk of change even with a $50 voucher. So I'm a "maybe" on the recommendation."

"Overall, our experience at Purple Cafe in Kirkland was pleasant, but nothing special. The food wasn't bad, but nothing really stood out in terms of creativity, presentation, or flavor. The service staff, while competent, seemed a bit on the young side and maybe a bit inexperienced."
