User review by krisdowning – After talking about Cafe Juanita being my all time FAVORITE restuarant for years, it is time that I finally put it into writing. The food is always wonderful and created with seasonality. Holly has passionately taken Cafe Juanita from one dining level to the next with the addition of 90% of her menu being organic food found locally. The service is the best in the city. Jim is hands down the best waiter I have ever had, in any restaurant. My true testament to this restuarant is when we take non-fo... read more
Absolutely one of the best – Tonight was our third time dining at Cafe Juanita and, as before, the meal was unforgettable. The Pear Brandy Sidecar was fantastic, with just enough sweetness to contrast the strong flavor of the pear brandy. The octopus was the most tender I've had anywhere (I wish I knew how to do it) and married perfectly with the chickpea and sauce. The lamb was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the white anchovy reminded me of a classic bagna cauda sauce, but I really appreciated the anchovy without the h... read more
French/Italian – This is the most French "Italian" I have ever eaten. I've lived in Italy and was NEVER served butter with the bread only olive oil. The menu consisted of rabbit, duck and lamb...hummmm sound FRENCH? The rib eye was full of fat, charred and greasy. Not appetizing at all. For the money, definitely not worth the hype. If you want to do french food, then advertise as such.
What A Gem! – This place is truly amazing - and trying to find it is actually part of the fun....food is utterly delicious - with a very unique sense of the true Italian cooking. It is the sense of "purity" and "creativity" without losing the simplicity that sets this place apart from your normal Italian restaurants. Well-crafted wine list shows good depth and includes some amazing finds. The dining room is particularly beautiful around sunset and the services are warm. Truly worth a treasure hunt out of the Seattle city lim... read more
Dressed Up On The Eastside – Beautifully seared, crusty yet medium-rare, bone-in, rib-eye for two with a chanterelle, lobster reduction sauce. Absolutely stunning. It was all I could do to keep from gnawing the bone. The waiter hinted it might not be appropriate. If the sauteed cauliflower in a nutty cheese sauce was served as an a la carte vegetable, this might as well be the best steak house in town. But that would be far too limiting for Holly's ability. The menu is filled with creative, Italian and French inspired dishes... read more
Cafe Juanita – They spend all their profits on meals and service, not on fancy building and gimick scencery. The food was spectacular and Jim (the waiter) was above all possible expectations. When you visit, ask him about the wheel of parmesian cheese. The food chef and the bakery chef were both tantelizingly talented women and had a crew that was filling my needs before I knew what those needs were. The cloth towels in the bathrooms were a nice clean touch.
Relax in Juanita – The server made excellent suggestions as to food pairings. I found it strange that he bragged of the cost of the wheel of cheese the restaurant has shipped from Italy each month.
Delicious!!!!! – We travel to the northwest frequently and always make dinner plans at Cafe Juanita. This last time we had quail as an appetizer as our waiter suggested and it was incredible. I had the rabbit for dinner and my wife had the lamb, as usual it was prepared perfectly. Very enjoyable dining experience.
It's the best – A beautiful, quiet, intimate restaurant with wonderful food and wine. Everyone is treated as a valued return visitor. The chefs will happily modify food to each diner's needs.
