Cafe Juanita Kirkland Reviews
Truly a 5 star experience from start to finish at the
Truly a 5 star experience from start to finish at the Chef's Table this evening. All items were fresh, delicious and married well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or business meeting out.
Good not great
Good but not great dishes lacking flavor dinks were pretty good service good kind of boring. But they do a decent job maybe be back

The service and food was disappointing, and the ambiance is less than desirable. Most of the tables are in high foot traffic areas with constant noise, and absolutely no charm or privacy. The pasta was excessively salty. With half the dish remaining,

I've had the wonderful privilege of being treated to some incredible dinner experiences, but Cafe Juanita still has to be #1 all-time in my book. I took some visiting family here for a celebration dinner, and it will be something I remember for

My husband told me here for my birthday last night and wow, they truly knocked every little thing out of the park. I can't stop thinking about the amuse bouche, the tagliatelle, and the pork. The service was thoughtful and well-paced. I can

This was a pretty solid place for a date night and/or special occasion. Food was great but not 5 Star worthy.
Good splurge restaurant.
Food is always great! Nice, quiet vibe. I like going here at least once a year.
My favorite restaurant ever!
This is my favorite restaurant period. I always go for my birthday and this this year, I talked my partner into going for his. We both had the pescatarian tasting menu. Everything was fabulous--especially the sea scallops, the risotto, and amuse bouc
Once again, Cafe Juanita exceeded our all ready high
Once again, Cafe Juanita exceeded our all ready high expectations. Mainly due to distance, it is a special occasion site for us, and each time we leave asking ourselves why we don't visit more often. The service and setting are wonderful. Ver
3.5 stars, the food is delicious, especially the wagyu
3.5 stars, the food is delicious, especially the wagyu croccante; but over priced for a four course tasting menu.
Fantastic food.
Great cocktails. Cozy setting. Probably the best consistent service I have ever had. Definitely worth the cost.
Great food and decent service, the atmosphere was very calm
Great food and decent service, the atmosphere was very calm and pleasant during our whole meal. We tried so many unique foods we didn't know existed, and would come back but it is a pricey place. Great location too.
Do not get sick and have to cancel your reservations.
$100 charged for nothing. Will never eat here.
Love Cafe Juanita, we go for special occasions and it
Love Cafe Juanita, we go for special occasions and it really is special. Such amazing textures and flavors. The options for vegetarian and pescatarian are always amazing. Looking forward to our next dining experience there.

By far one of my favorite restaurants in the region.
Northern Italian type fusion fare. Having been to Italy a few times, the food brings me back to the coast of Camogli. The staff...Like magic ( or files ), they remember the wines that I liked as my favorites. For a high end dining experience, they
Another great dining experience
The service levels were fabulous from start to finish. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food dishes were all so tasty and innovative. We had the reserva wine pairings and they were some great wines. The pairings are well thought o
A Most Memorable Dinner!

Don't get me wrong, I love this place. But I have been here before and have also eaten across the globe. Main issues: Service and prices. Service: While I appreciate friendly service, when I am hungry I want to dive into my meal and not get th

An amazing culinary experience. I highly recommend the wine pairing option.

Just had our anniversary dinner here and everything was delicious. Also did the wine pairing and loved the wine. I previously lived in France so this is a big deal to me. Service was 100% professional + polished from the moment we pulled up to valet.

There is much forgettable food to be had at many area restaurants. I wanted a guaranteed fine meal, and Cafe Juanita delivered. Their service is uniformly excellent. The ambiance is comfortable. The food displays precision, technical skill, artistry,
A special treat, a special night
I don't know if I have adequate words to describe this place. My daughter and son-in-law treated us to dinner at Cafe Juanita for my birthday and let me say, this dinner will go down in my memory as one of the best I have ever had. We all had the
What a treat! Cade Juanita and staff do an exceptional job
What a treat! Cade Juanita and staff do an exceptional job in a very unassuming neighborhood in Kirkland. The pasta with sage is fantastic... caviar a must have... and a truly exceptional wine list.
What a beautiful meal and a beautiful experience.
Cafe Juanita is kinda nestled in the residential area of Kirkland. There's valet parking and some street parking provided. The inside kinda gives "The Menu" vibes especially at night, with the big windows that see nothing but darkness and
Get a second mortgage before you go.
Basically a remodeled house. NO parking nearby. Average service but sub-standard food. Small portions. Very loud place. Also cold.
An outstanding experience
Our table ordered all three tasting menus plus wine pairings. This gave us an opportunity to compare and contrast. All of them were excellent and most courses were truly outstanding. Beautiful presentation and taste profiles. I particularly liked
10 out of 10 would recommend.
Pricy, but worth it. We did the tasting menu. Don't be in a rush. But everything was stellar. We did the private room in the main level.
Decent food but not Michelin worthy, great attentive
Decent food but not Michelin worthy, great attentive service however the price was ridiculous. Over $750 (including tip) for 2. Definitely not in par with price charged. Got 2 price fix dinners, 2 glasses of wine, 2 cocktails & one extra appetize

The food is ok, but not deserve the price ! Some of the food is so salty and I have to drink lots of water after the meal. You can definitely find better food with this price!
Perfect.
Loved this place, the service was incredible. Not something we're going to do often, but for special occasions, we'll be back.
It's worth it.
Every single item was delicious. The service was fantastic. Would recommend the omnivore choice more than pescatarian one. Cocktails were fantastic too. The ambiance was okayish. No great views or tall ceilings and the location is okayish too. But th
THE best meal we've had in many, many years.

I suppose we had an expectation a bit higher than we actually experiecedt The food was on the salty side It was a fun weekday dinner but nothing special
Came here for a birthday dinner in October 2023.

Cafe Juanita kicks it up a notch
Though I live in the UK, I’ve been lucky to have discovered Cafe Juanita on a holiday trip around 20 years ago and I’ve been a firm fan ever since. On sone trips, I even made a special detour to Seattle on my holiday just to eat at Cafe Juanita.
Cafe Juanita Used to be our favorite
Finally getting around to reviewing Cafe Juanita from our January visit. (If I could, I would give a 3.5-star review.) We have been dining at Cafe Juanita off and on since it opened over 40 years ago. When we were asked by a client what our favorite

Excellent as always. They have eliminated la carte options and focus on prix fixe menu options. Presentation, taste, preparation all evident, we enjoyed everything. Service attentive. Good for special occasion or just a lovely low key meal out. Rese

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Cafe Juanita Kirkland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Cafe Juanita Kirkland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Cafe Juanita Kirkland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Cafe Juanita Kirkland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Cafe Juanita Kirkland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
