    Dined on 3/1/2014

  • "We had great appetizers after wine tasting in Woodinville."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "The food was great as always but I thought the service was a bit slow. it was an uncrowded weeknight and there seemed to be a long lag between waitress visits. It took about 20 minutes to get the bill, pay for it and get the check returned to us for signature."
    Dined on 2/17/2014
  • "This is a great spot where you can find good food and drink. This restaurant allows you to reconnect with that special someone if it's been awhile since you've had a date night, even if you're married like us. You can never go wrong with a date night when you know the food you are being served is fresh and has been prepared well."
    Dined on 2/12/2014
  • "We made our reservation online and arrived at the Woodinville site with our reservation in hand. HOWEVER, there was NO record of our reservation on the computer at the Woodinville restaurant. It was explained that (1) we would be taken care of and seated (and we were!), and (2) it was not our fault but the fault of the online reservation process. Please repair this! We love that place, plan to go back many times and will again find it very convenient to be able to make reliable online reservations."

  • "I am a huge fan of all of the Purple Cafes...Kirkland, Woodinville and downtown Seattle. The food and wine are awesome, service is usually great, scene is hip and happenin'. This is not a place to go for a quiet conversation as the restaurants are "cavernous", cold and the chairs give you an upper body workout when you move them. In spite of that, it is one of my fav restaurants and I love to go there with friends. While not very scenic, I love the outdoor dining at Kland and W'ville locations."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "Purple had amazing specials ready for Valentine's Day, in addition to their already amazing regular menu. Our server was friendly, efficient, and checked back with us just the right amount. I highly recommend Purple, at any of their locations."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "Not sure what has happened to the Purple in Woodinville, but the food is not very good especially for the cost. The last three times I've eaten there the food was average at best and boring. Many years ago they had a pork tenderloin with a reduction sauce that left your mouth watering! The Tillicum salad was flat not because of the apples, walnuts and Tillicum cheese but the mixture of greens were wilted and non flavorful. The Crab Mac and Cheese was dried out. Our server was outstanding along with the other staff. We will not be going back for dinner but maybe the Happy Hour."
    Dined on 2/12/2014
  • "Waitress was very friendly and even changed one of the wines in our sampler (wrong phrase) so that we could get one special one we wanted. Meal was delightful Medium Upscale (jeans and nice shirt ok) - good for not an every day occurrence, but yet doesn't have to be a only once or twice a year place either."
    Dined on 2/11/2014
  • "Meeting old friends and this was a perfect choice. Food was good and the service was amazing. We will go back."
    Dined on 2/10/2014
  • "Purple was as discussed by friends. Large menu, pleasant service, decent food and a good spot to "fuel up" prior to tasting wine. Not recommended for Foodies, this restaurant is dependable for lunch."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Salads were fresh, creative and delicious! We had dates stuffed with goat chese for our appetizer -very good. It was a great place to meet some old friends for dinner. Pass on the calamari it was good but not great."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "It was very busy, but it took a very long time for our waitress to take our order and bring us a glass of wine. We were there to visit and catch up so it was not really a problem, but could have been. The menu includes starters, sandwiches, salads and entrees that pair well with their amazing wine selection. I will definitely go back."
    Dined on 1/22/2014
  • "We split appetizers and an entree, chicken Marsala. Probably the worst chicken Marsala we have had. The Marsala sauce almost seemed to come out of a package what little there was of it. Chicken was ok but pretty dried out. We enjoyed the Bruschetta and the olive tapenade spead. Not a memorable evening."
    Dined on 1/22/2014
  • "The food was exceptional, as always. There is an amazing variety of textures and flavors in their meals. Love it!"
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "I know the Purple is famous for their outstanding wine list and great food, but I had no idea I could get a hamburger there. It was the best hamburger I have ever had, hands down."
    Dined on 1/15/2014
  • "Even though we were basically sitting on top of the parking lot, the food and wine were distracting enough that we hardly noticed. I had probably the best chicken salad I have ever eaten."
    Dined on 6/15/2013
  • "Whenever we take a trip to or through Woodinville, we stop at The Purple Cafe for a special dinner. It never disappoints us. Everything tastes incredible and the service is always excellent too. Monday night was no exception. We all raved about our dinners and left feeling we need to return sooner next time."
    Dined on 12/30/2013
  • "A favorite in the area, it is always a wonderful experience at the Purple Cafe! Classy decor with iron chairs/napkin rings and the rock walls with integrated votive candles adds to the warm ambiance. The wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. Our table for 3 had the risotto, Italian wedding soup and meatloaf. Each was impeccably prepared. Never a disappointment when dining here! Great find after a day of wine tastings."
    Dined on 12/26/2013
  • "Tried a couple of new, or first time, menu items and was not disappointed. The Prawns and Fries were awesome, Brie always great and I chose a Pasta Broccoli dish that was fantastic. Very tasty! We'll be back!"
    Dined on 12/20/2013
  • "Service was very good but food-steak was kind of salty."
    Dined on 12/15/2013
  • "All 3 in our party found the food was outstanding and the service even better! We ordered the Chicken Marsala, the pasta special and the Fig Pizza- nothing left on any of our plates! Our server (Lissa) was excellent!!!!"
    Dined on 12/10/2013
  • "We were attending a wine tasting event later in the evening so we just ordered starters and a glass of wine each. My husband had the calamari and I had steamed clams. Both were excellent. We shared several spreads which were served with flatbread and crackers. Again, very good. Although the food is excellent, we feel that the service is what really puts this restaurant "over the top". We have also had dinner and been very pleased. Overall, a pleasant experience at a reasonable price. We will return when we visit Woodinville."
    Dined on 12/6/2013
  • "Purple Cafe is always reliable when it comes to food and service!! Good job!"
    Dined on 11/14/2013
  • "Stopped at Purple's just for a date night with my spouse after work. We very much enjoyed the happy hour menu and house wine selection. It was great time at a nice spot."
    Dined on 11/15/2013
  • "Hard surfaces abound. It is difficult to have a conversation. The woman at the table next to us was holding her smart phone, playing a tune, and singing along loudly. Yet few could even hear this because it was so noisy. It could be much better with just a liitle thought given to acoustics. The food was OK - a bit too much garlic in the potatoes, and the chicken salad had more chicken than greens."
    Dined on 11/15/2013
  • "WE GO THERE WHEN WE NEED A GOOD MENU LUNCH WITH WINE. ALWAYS GREAT!"
    Dined on 10/31/2013
  • "Parking was TERRIBLE....took me 25 mins to get a parking space. Food was just ok...not good for the price"
    Dined on 10/26/2013
  • "We arrived for a late lunch around 3:45 p ...however, when we requested to have glass of wine before ordering, the server got a bit agitated and we felt like she was rushing us. I found an Italian wine that looked good, but they would not let me try a taste of it, and told me that once the bottle was open I had to buy it, unless it had turned. I had never received that kind of treatment in a restaurant before. I decided to take a chance and then they didn't have it! After a lot of discussion, I ended up bringing in my own wine that we had bought that day and corked it (server looked annoyed now). At least that is a very good deal and a definite plus for Purple Cafe. The food was very good...experience could have been better."
    Dined on 10/26/2013
  • "Darling husband and I went to Purple in Woodinville the other day for happy hour. Great choices on the menu. We selected delicious Bruschetta as well as Butternut squash soup and Tomato Bisque soup. We brought in our own bottle of wine. No charge for corkage which is just wonderful! Our waitress was attentive, efficient and very pleasant. We will come back to Purple again in the near future!"
    Dined on 10/26/2013
  • "We came in for a small meal, and delicious soup and salad was perfect!"
    Dined on 10/26/2013
  • "The food selection wasn't as vast for my taste and our waitress was quite forgetful in bringing us our specific items. Also when trying to explain to us about different cheeses she was very misinformed as our geoup had a cheesemaker in it so he had to tell her what the other cheeses were. I would go back for atmosphere and drinks."
    Dined on 10/25/2013
  • "Great place to dine. Warm and friendly atmosphere. The food was well prepared and served."
    Dined on 10/20/2013
  • "This has got to be one of my favorite places to go. Although a bit on the spendy side it just means we don't go too often."
    Dined on 10/23/2013
  • "After reserving a table for 4 with out-of-town visitors, we arrived - first to find no parking at the shopping strip location, ended up parking about 1/4 mile away and walking to the restaurant in the rain. On arrival, they had no table for us, and finally, after about a 30 min wait and asking a few times, they offered a table outside. The table ended up being 1/2 in the rain - so two guests ended up getting drizzled on all dinner (we'd moved the table some to get a bit closer to cover - with no help from staff). We ordered wine, appetizers and dinner. Dinner arrived - but no appetizers. They offered free dessert. I'm not impressed. Decent food, no parking, got order wrong, and we sat in rain the full dinner. I'd expect better!"

  • "We were there for Resteraunt week- 3 courses for 28.00 appetizer ,entree and desert-choices were great and the portions were large."
    Dined on 10/22/2013
  • "The appetizers (calamari and house made spreads) were good and I'd definitely order both again. For entrees, the mushroom meatloaf and braised brisket bolognaise as average at best and definitely not special. Both were relatively bland and the meat in the bolognaise had strange texture and taste. I wish I'd ordered the mushroom risotto as I've had that before and it's amazing. The deserts were salted caramel and pecan pie bread pudding and were definitely the highlight of the meal. I wish I could rate it higher, however, the entrees were subpar."
    Dined on 10/21/2013
  • "I went here for a work lunch during Seattle Restaurant Week and was unimpressed. I've heard great things about Purple and have been wanting to try it for a long time, but it unfortunately did not live up to expectations. The food was alright but not great our server was forgetful and we had to ask him a second time for things we had previously ordered."
