Purple Cafe and Wine Bar - Woodinville

A must go if you are within an hour of the place. Great ambience, good food and food wine.

My wife took me here for dinner on my birthday after a day of touring Woodinville wineries.  We sat outside on the terrace and enjoyed very nice service.  To start, the ambiance was appealing with heavy metal table and chairs with matching heavy metal napkin holders and lite background music.  Our waiter was very attentive to our needs and understood our flow for dinner from the start.  We began with a moderately priced Malbec from their extensive menu.  When ordering the wine, the waiter informed us of many of the wine's characteristics.  After half the bottle, we ordered an appetizer of asparagus with lardons, which came out great.  The asparagus was cooked just right and sprinkled with lemon and parmesan.  Next we ordered our main course, she had risotto with prawns and morel mushrooms and i had the chopped salad with a coho salmon fillet.  The risotto was cooked correctly and had a good amount of prawns.  My salad was great, the lettuce and avocado were fresh and the salmon was cooked well.  I was surprised at the size of the salmon fillet, it had to be 8oz portion.  Overall, I was very pleased with the service, the decor and the menu.  I look forward to returning for our next event in Woodinville, even though they have locations in Seattle and Bellevue.

One of my most favorite restaurants ever. I have been here at least a dozen times and I've been to the downtown location and the bellevue location a couple times too. I always always have the baked brie! One of the most delicious foods I've ever tasted. Bomb calamari. Crazy bomb risotto. And my boyfriend once ordered the Lobster Baked Mac n Cheese. He said it was the best thing he ever had... ever. I really need to come here again soon, it's been too long.
