Purple Café and Wine Bar

We had such a great experience at Purple Café for my son’s 10th birthday dinner! We had a group of ten-year-old kids, and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. They were so kind, patient, and organized, which made it easy for all of us parents to actually relax and enjoy the evening. I really appreciated that they offered a kids’ menu — it had great choices, and the food came out quickly, hot, and nicely presented. The kids loved it, and the servers even took the time to make sure everyone got exactly what they ordered. You could tell they genuinely cared about making the night go smoothly. The adults ordered from the main menu, and everything was delicious. The food was fresh and beautifully done, and the wine list was great. Service was excellent from start to finish attentive but never rushed, which can be rare with a big group. The restaurant itself has such a nice vibe comfortable enough for families but still feels special. Everything from the food to the service made it a really memorable birthday dinner. Highly recommend for anyone planning a celebration or just a nice night out!

Purple is amazing. I have been here countless times and keep coming back. They have a very cute place, with kind people, and delicious food! I would love to eat everything on the menu, plus this menu is slightly different from the downtown location! This place is great to celebrate a birthday, have a girls night, date night, or even a solo dinner! This new location is very cute and I can’t get enough of it! Instagram - Madeline’s_Dines

Purple Cafe was a nice experience. Parking is on the street, which at times can be a challenge. The wait staff were polite and attentive to our needs. The drinks and food were tasty and enjoyable. A diverse menu that offers options to all diners. Had an enjoyable time and won’t hesitate to return next time I’m in the area.

The most fun you will have at this location of Purple is the circuitous route you will be sent on just to find the restrooms...and don't forget to look for the codes. Went there with my son and wife after his class at the Divers Institute just down on the Lake Union Waterfront and would gladly return for more. We were attended to by Sydney who was absolutely delightful and very attentive. Their happy hour menu is really a good value and their HH Old Fashion was very close to perfect. I gave high marks in all categories and really do mean it. I just wonder if patrons who share the "porch swing" sitting option if they get annoyed by each other when they are trying to cut through a steak and the whole bench starts vibrating? Really the place is layed out great with a metric ton of seating options. We chose to sit outside and we're really comfortable in the shade. I don't know about parking as we walked from the institute but I'm sure there are plenty of options in the neighborhood.

The service was excellent, and the food was both delicious and fresh. We enjoyed the lovely weather while sitting outdoors. On Wednesday, we opted for the pizza, pasta, and a bottle of wine set, which totaled $65. Just a heads-up: there is a 4% surcharge added to the bill. Overall, a great experience!

I had an excellent experience at Purple Café and Wine Bar. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt upscale yet inviting. The host stood out immediately—wearing a sharp suit jacket and looking incredibly dapper, which set a great tone for the evening. For the food, I ordered the burger and a pizza, and both were absolutely perfect. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the pizza had a great balance of crisp crust and fresh toppings. Everything was prepared beautifully and tasted amazing. Overall, the combination of stylish service and outstanding food makes Purple Café and Wine Bar a spot I’d highly recommend.

We love their spicy prawn frites. The sauce is incredibly flavorful. However, we wish the dish included more shrimp and fewer fries, or even better, replaced the fries with some bread to soak up the sauce. The happy hour menu offers some great options. The drinks were decent; we had the Old Fashioned and margaritas. The ambiance and service were both lovely, and the location is excellent.

My boyfriend and I came for a late dinner this evening and got the two grilled cheese meals pictured. Alexander (our server) as well as the chef that evening were absolutely amazing. My boyfriend wasn’t aware they’d added bacon jam when he asked for stripped bacon and they immediately corrected the meal and were overly kind whilst doing so. We had a great night and appreciate this location going above and beyond for their guests. The employees here are definitely made for customer service! thanks again to Alexander for the great date night! We will be back. 10/10 recommend.

Lovely location for a quiet date night dinner. Service was great and knowledgeable about the wine list which my husband appreciated and suggested a tasty non-alcoholic sparkling wine that I appreciated. Food was delicious, as expected. Timing was perfect, we were able to enjoy our meals without feeling rushed or, conversely, forgotten. I look forward to our next experience here.

Had a nice romantic dinner here recently. The restaurant is open and friendly. They have outdoor seating for those warm spring/summer days. The staff are amazing. Very friendly and happy to make recommendations on food or wine. Since we where there for our anniversary they gave us a free glass of wine(for me) and a very lovely non-alcoholic cider for my wife. I had the Mushroom Pappardelle. Flavor was good but they used the wrong mushrooms for this dish. They Mushrooms where tough and made the dish difficult to eat.

I'd give it 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. The main draw here is the very extensive wine list. I think this would be best experienced with a small group of 3-4 people so that you can split a couple of bottles. However, if you come on your own, they do have a decent wine by the glass list, and there's also an option to buy 2 half glasses so you can try more things without getting completely sloshed. The food is just alright for the price. It's decent, but it's not amazing. Basically, you can get better high-mid range Italian/American food elsewhere nearby for comparable or better prices. This Purple location is new-ish. It has a pretty large patio area which I enjoyed in the summer. The staff are helpful and able to provide suggestions and information on the wine.

Back at it again for a lovely happy hour at Purple Cafe on Stone Way! They have expanded their happy hour times and changed up the menu a bit since last time I was here- but this is still a fantastic spot for happy hour with the girlies. Our server was attentive and very good about checking in and letting us know when last call for happy hour was.

Solid place to have some good food and drinks. Really good pizza and of course their baked Brie. Full bar and friendly service.

This is my favorite location that Purple has. It's very cozy and is always busy! Their food is always delish, I always go for their pizza or pasta, you can never go wrong! Additionally, their crème brûlée is such a great dessert option, a classic and delicious! I've been here too many times to count! A great place to celebrate birthdays!

Visited the Woodinville location yesterday and the place has changed big time and sadly not for the better. I was very surprised when we walked in at 1:00 to a nearly empty restaurant on a sunny Saturday The menu seems to be cut in half with most of my favorites gone. We wanted their shaved prime rib sandwich but had to settle for a extra salty turkey. Just not the same. They were nice enough to take it off the bill Also gone were their salted Carmel truffles So no taste treat for the table. I used to recommend this place to anyone visiting the wine country but its now off the list with no redeeming value. Even and the wine list reduced but much more expensive

Amazing experience- love the happy hour options & we had great service loved our gal!But one thing, for the love of God, please bring back Fiasco cheesy bread as an appetizer. That item is heaven sent and would complete the lives of many. Thank you!

Great food and service. As fans of the downtown Purple Cafe location, we were not disappointed.

Sadly, many things could be improved: The service, to start. Our waiter seemed bothered by having to take our orders. (We were a table of four.) He was extremely slow and after delivering our food he never came back to refill ice tea, never offered bread with sauce dishes, offer dessert.. MIA. I finally walked up to the bar to ask for the check. The food was not on par with other Purple restaurants. My "risotto" was a glutinous, shimmery mess. My daughter in law's pasta was similarly bad. Our usual favorite, Shrimp Frites was rated by my spouse as "decent" but at their prices it should at least warrant a "good". The special included a bottle of wine which was just bad - it should never have been sold. It's a beautiful restaurant but quality of service and food has a bearing on ambiance. Overall, the place was giving "diner at closing time" chiefly because of the attitude of the bartender/server. All that said, the Baked Brie was slow to arrive but tasty. We love the other Purple restaurants and really wanted to love this one.

I've always loved Purple Cafe & Wine Bar, the food is delicious and atmosphere is so lovely! I just recently went for brunch and everything was amazing. Loved the Short Rib Hash and the Mimosa Duo! The Eggs Benedict also looks amazing, I'll be trying that next time! Service was super friendly too!

Fantastic service and food. Chopped Salad was on point. Even with three kids, server was excellent .

We went here for Father's Day, and everyone really enjoyed their food. I had the Chunky Avocado salad and loved it so much. It contained a wonderful combination of textures: soft avocado, crunchy quinoa and pepitas, plus frisée. I was worried it wouldn't be enough food, but it was surprisingly filling after sharing a cheeseboard. The server was knowledgeable about wine and shared a recommendation to pair with the avocado salad. It was lovely. I would definitely come back here. It's a good place to keep in mind for dinners with extended family.

Wow!! Just great food! But the worst service ever! Sad restaurant that has several locations! Total lack of people! Front to back!

I've been to this Purple location 3 times so far this year. It's such a pleasure to have an established Northwest restaurant in my neighborhood. The service is excellent, from greeting to bill. And a manager is always on the floor: viewing, helping, bussing, etc. I know this is a sign of a good business. I want to particularly recognize Sammie as a fabulous employee. She's gregarious, engaging, knowledgeable about wine, and efficient. We can't wait to come back and sit on the patio!

We came here Mother's Day and had a great brunch! Food was really good. Majority of places on Mother's Day end up being overly booked and pricey but this was somewhat of a last minute reservation and had great ambiance.

A welcome addition to the neighborhood. Good food, service, and atmosphere, definitely will be coming back. Had the avocado salad, vodka fusilli, pizza with hot honey and cured meat, spicy shrimp appetizer (tip: ask the kitchen to make this into a main by adding pasta, will absolutely be doing it next time). Having their wine specialist on hand that night and executive chef coming out to greet us were very nice touches, customer delighter that up leveled the whole experience. Great for a date night, celebrations, catching up with friends, or wanting a nice meal or coming in for some wine or a drink.

Absolutely delicious food and really great service at this fun restaurant. We ate there before when it was Fiasco, which we loved, but this new place is awesome. Only suggestion would be to add at least one chocolate cake or cookie option on the dessert menu. The tiramisu and sea salted caramels are great, but we were craving chocolate cake.
