Best service and food around! This is better than allot of the greats – I have lived in the Seattle area for the better part of 38 years and this place is fabulous. The service is top noch, ask for Kristen as your server if possible. This Professional food server knew the menu backwards and forwards. I had the lamb and Bonnie had the Risotto and we were amazed. The dressing on the salads prior to the meals was one of a kind. Most of these four and five star restaurants have flavors that are very good but so rich you can't fi... read more
Top 5 Great Seattle Restaurants – This is one of the few top shelf venues of the above ground Seattle restaurant scene. One of the few places left to get a real seared Foie Gras dish. The experience is comfortable and relaxing and the caliber of food speaks for itself. For the maderkader review. No one with any food sense will take your review of this wonderful restaurant seriously as it emanates 'I am from Tacoma... or south of which' and would rather be eating at KFC by candlelight.
One of the greats! – Cafe Juanita, under the able guidance of Holly Smith, is truly a shining star of restaurants in the Northwest. If you want a memorable dining experience, this is the place. Romantic for two, or impressive for a business dinner, the food and service are impecable. Northwest ingredients, great variety of choice, fabulous presentations. Portions are perfect. I cannot say enough about the quality and consistency. Wonderful place....enjoy!
A personal Favorite – We all have those places that are first to mind when we ask ourselves; "where do i want to eat tonight?". For my wife and myself, this is "that place" that is first to mind when we ask ourselves that question. The food has always bee from great to perfect, the wine list is very fairly priced (and I am familiar w/the wholesale prices), ambiance is always warm and cozy, and service has always been very good to great. The flavors that Holly, and her team, consistently put together are always in balance, an... read more
Waste of Money – If you would prefer spending $100 and getting out of the restarant hungry do go there... There are much better restaurants with better decor and ambience than this place to spend your money and have it worth it. The most repelling thing is right at the entrance, the door which looks like you are entering a meat packing facility... Then you browse through the menu and they expect everyone in the workd to understand their language... The DO NOT SERVE CHICKEN on their menu...can you believe that... If you are l... read more
i prefer to eat organic.. – ..so it was a pleasant surprise to find that Cafe Juanita offered many selections that included organic and local ingredients. Although I ate there in the evening, it is my understanding that there is a small garden in the back of the restaurant that the chef will draw upon to spice up the dishes. That impresses me. You won't find that at just any restaurant. There were about 6 or 7 courses, and each had an Italian flare to it. The caesar is fabulous, and has a slightly salty anchovie dressing whi... read more
Delicious food in classy, welcoming surroundings. – In Short Chef/owner Holly Smith's regard for ingredients is apparent and a frequently changing menu ensures everything is at its peak. Foie gras is paired with nectarines; a dish of local chanterelles is tangled in tagliatelle and enhanced with marjoram. Smith's dishes--such as a thick, rare hunk of lamb paired with a turnip gratin--are both comfortably familiar and innovative. From the sweetbreads to the fried razor clams, there is plenty to try.
Lovely Surprise – While visiting Seattle we were asking around for suggestions....Cafe Juanita came highly recommended. When we arrived at the restaurant we were pleasantly greeted by the hostess and seated immediately. The atmosphere is almost cabin-like with a rustic feel. It over looks a garden out back that works as a nice backdrop. Simply put, the food was amazing - from bread plate to dessert. Our server was attentive and very well educated on each menu item. We really had a very nice dinner. I would recommend to anyon... read more
Disappointed for the first time – We had dinner at Cafe Juanita on April 15th. We were quite disappointed, based on a number of excellent meals we haave had there in the past. We showed up on time at 9.30pm and had to wait a good 15' for a table. The food had lost the quality and crispness of preparation characteristic of this restaurant. My squab was literally swimming in a very watery sauce, the soup appetizer was average. Worse, the waitress pushed wine consumption, literally forcing us to have a second bottle (this was a... read more
