Great New Year's Eve – We spent our New Year's Eve dinner at this lovely place. We had to wait a touch longer than we expected - the waiting area by the door is small to begin with, and quite cramped with 8 senior citizens - distinguished, albeit - on top of you. The fixed price veggie option was superb. The others are right - from the outside, it does evoke slight memories of grandma's rambler in Spokane, but the interior is elegant and lively. The staff were wonderful, and it was a treat to see Holly Smith buzzing about do... read more
One of the BEST on EITHER side of Lk. WA – I've eaten here several times and it's always great. Recently took my father-in-law when he was in town. He had the whole fish special and said it was one of the best meals he's eaten, this from a man that has lived close to a dozen countries and dined in many of the world's finest restaurants. The foie gras is outstanding, the whole fish is incredible, the rabbit is one of the best in Seattle. Seasonal delicacies will be on the menu from truffles to fresh morels, etc. Don't be afra... read more
memorable dining – Having dined there many times my favorite is the rib steak but you will find all menu items are excellant and superbly presented. Waiters are knowledgeable, courteous, and kind. Atmoshere is quiet permitting enjoyable conversation with guests.
not so hot – I guess if you really love Northern Italian food with strange trendy additives to make it unique, then this place is for you. Ambience was fantastic, service average, and food... well... the scallops were perfect, but if you want anything "normal," suhc as chicken, or something remotely vegetarian, you should go somewhere else. The closest thing to traditional pasta was the tortellini, but it was filled with goat cheese and beet paste and fennel.
A Journey Into Italy – This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is services is great, the food is always amazing, and atmosphere is soothing and romantic. I've eaten here at least 20 times, and have never been disappointed yet.
Totally Worth it! – Cafe Juanita was THE best dining experience in Seattle. Creative menu, excellent service, and a great wine list are the reasons.
Fair, but pricey – Give me a view and more privacy and I would had been happy with the food and the price. We went there for our anniversary. The food was quite good but not exceptional, and the bill was quite high. I wouldn't have minded the cost except for the closeness of the dining environment. It seemed like we could hear conversation from all the tables near us. Not what we wanted for an intimate special occasion dinner.
A Treat for the Senses! – I took the first bite into the braised rabbit and knew that we picked a hands-down winner. They give you a knife, but who needs it? The meat just falls off the bone. The whole meal, from the rich pear salad, to their creamy risotto with balsamic vinegar reduction, to our entrees (the scallops are like butter) -- all were absolutely heavenly. Kudos to Chef Holly Smith! Warm, inviting, complex flavors, and a cozy setting made our night absolutely memorable.
Worth the trip – This is the most authentic yet creative Italian restaurant in Seattle. The wine list is superb and the markup is not excessive.
