The 38 Best Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle
"Holly Smith’s Northern Italian fine dining restaurant feels old-fashioned, a quiet, low-key dining room tucked away in Kirkland. But the food is still outstanding and inventive. The menu changes frequently based on the seasons, but you’ll find bites that astound — we’re still thinking about an umami-rich foraged mushroom pasta we had there years ago. Notably, Cafe Juanita serves four different tasting menus: an omnivorous one alongside pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan options. Couple that with a nonalcoholic beverage pairing you can opt for instead of wine and you’re looking at one of the most inclusive high-end restaurants in the metro area. If you drive: Don’t try to mess around by finding street parking. You’re going to drop $200 a person here before drinks, you might as well pay $10 for the valet service." - Harry Cheadle
