The restaurant has wonderful ambiance, service is good, wait staff is friendly. The menu selection is moderately limited. The lobster Mac n cheese is very tasty while the steak was at best average, potatoes side was over salted. Great chopped salad was very good. The two soup options, tomato and squash were very tasty but were not served hot. Overall dining experience is mediocre when considering the cost.

Theis is a great little restaurant located right in the middle of the busy wine tasting area of Woodinville. Parking can be a challenge, but it's worth it. Service was excellent and the staff were very attentive. The food we had was excellent. I enjoyed the Butternut Squash soup and the beet and kale salad with sauteed shrimp. My husband enjoyed the bacon wrapped meatloaf with mashed potatoes. We were extremely happy with our meals.

This was such a delightful Sunday Brunch! We had tasty options for both breakfast and lunch. Opting for the baked brie and roast beef dip to split, we found the brie to be incredibly tasty. Served with sliced grapes (they do something magical with the grapes to make them "extra" I think); the brie was warm and comforting. I am going to comment on the food - but keep in mind that most of my comments are not about the food as much about our tastes. The only feedback I would give the staff at Purple is: 1. Clarify the level of spice in the soup (chili almonds are usually a reference for a mild chili flavor, not a kick of heat) 2. A little less fat in the roast beef Other than that, the rest is just to help others with menu options: I had autumn squash soup, while my friend had tomato. The squash soup had a wonderful flavor, but the heat of chili was too much for my sensitive tummy. I was told the tomato was good but overly acidic for what we are used to. I would have loved a soup option for me - but to be honest, they were both delicious, just not suited to us specifically due to our tastes or health issues. The fries are always my favorite - super crisp and light (yum). The roast beef dip had a wonderful flavor. I love the addition of the cheeses, though there was quite a bit of fat on the meat, which made it difficult to eat without the meat sliding off the bread with each bite. My husband had this previously and had complained about the same thing - so I really should have known better. That said - a lot of people say "fat is flavor" - just not for us. If you have this, the au jus is made with a wine reduction - it's delicious! Overall - we loved the experience. Our server was knowledgeable and responsive, and the food was mostly delicious and served at the perfect temperature. I give them 5 stars because they are worth it - even if you are particular like us :)

This is our go-to spot to dine when wine tasting in Woodinville. We always have a great experience and the food is amazing. This was our first time for brunch and it did not disappoint. All the food was yummy but the short rib hash was by far the favorite.

Mario was outstanding. Unfortunately the food was not as good as it has been in the past. My chicken Marsala dish was sweet, tasted a bit freezer burnt and the carrots were raw. My partner ordered off the Seattle Restaurant week menu and the shortrib pasta was under seasoned and the pumpkin mousse was barely edible. The fried artichokes were delicious but the serving was small. The beet and kale salad was good but the kale could have been massaged a bit more.

I had the seasonal special scallops, and they were outstanding, especially with the selected wine pairing which was a Sauvignon Blanc. I would go back for the wine alone. I opted for dessert, which was the seasonal ginger peach cobbler, it was disappointing. My service was excellent and the ambiance would be wonderful for a romantic date night. At night the entire room is transformed in candlelight glow.

I’ve been to this place 3+ times. Hit or miss on food. Service has always been great. Today was not the best - I had an omelette (normally I don’t order omelettes anywhere as it’s a gamble. A great chef is known by how omelettes are cooked) sadly overcooked. Great French toast. Unfortunately, flies is a serious problem- who wants to be swatting flies while eating? It was very annoying. Too many flies and not sure why, inside the dining room. They’ve lost us there.

Food-blah maybe we caught PC on a bad evening with staffing issues, or sure. We had to stop someone after 8 minutes of sitting at our table to ask if we could have a candle like the other tables.Then we had to stop someone to take our drink order. Our waiter ended up being the hostess even though their were 3 other waiters roaming. Very strange night. The food came out cold and bland but it matched the staff personalities.

We had some difference of opinion when we asked if we could bring in an open 1/2 bottle of wine to drink here, just purchased next door and was told yes by the door receptionist so we were seated + poured a small amount of the wine into 1 water glass and waited for about 20 minutes before a server came to our table, thinking we were OK but- when our server finally came to the table, I had to ask for water for all 4 of us and the server said no we couldnt drink the wine already poured from our open bottle into 1 water glass - we couldnt drink the open bottle after being told we could. then the manager Andrew appeared and said no, we couldnt drink the open wine and was rudely saying that if we continued to drink the small amount of wine left in 1 glass already poured - he would ask us to leave. We had already ordered 4 meals + appetizers for 4 of us. He rudely removed the 1/2 amount in the small water glass of wine at the table. We were dumfounded. Mind you all 4 of us are elderly + retired professionals ( judge, attorney, nurse, CEO) not kids. So we abided of course but felt the manager really handles this poorly. Instead of being rude, reprimanding us like kids- removing the wine from our table personally + threatening us to leave the restaurant - he could've explained the policy + offered a glass of complimentary wine to the 3 of 4 of us who were drinking wine. I was the designated driver not drinking any alcohol + only Diet Coke which was served to me. We have been to this restaurant many many times + never treated so rudely like this ever. Thank you for listening. Marie W

The food choices were very unique. We chose the burrata appetizer which was tasty though I prefer it with tomatoes and not melon. We also ordered the olives and they were ok. I ordered the pesto pasta and I was not a fan. I am a huge lover of pesto but this was not my fave. Ordered it with grilled shrimp and they were just ok. My husband ordered the Beef Bolognese and enjoyed it.

Great location in the heart of Woodinville Wine Country. Parking is limited on site, so a little walk may be in order. The rustic charm decor is a nice fit w/ the wine scene. As you would expect, the wine list is extensive. Maybe there is a liquor license issue at play, but the lack of cocktails is a little unfortunate, as a liquor drink would make for a nice change of pace after a day of wine tasting. Menu is creative and somewhat varied, offering both heavy and light dishes...all well prepared. Service in genuine, attentive and efficient. All in all, a comfortable and reliable place for a meal during, or after a day in the tasting rooms.
