We liked the wine bar last time and tried brunch this time but it was so so. First of all we called in advance to reserve a table for 7. When we got there our table was not ready and waited for seating nevertheless here were a lot of available tables inside. I had a Croque Madame but it was... More

We went here on a visit last year, and it was so good we decided to go again. We were not disappointed - it was as good as we remember. Like it better than the one in Kirkland a it is quieter for conversation. Had great halibut, excellent wait staff, and love their wine selection. It was a Sunday and... More

Lovely meal and great service was our experience on a Thursday evening. The place was packed but our service didn't suffer. They offer a great option for wine tasting with wine flights. Our group of 3 selected 3 different flights and shared. That provided us an opportunity to sample 12 different wines. Fun to taste and compare and great conversation.... More

This was our second time at Purple; the first was at their Seattle location in 2011. Both are excellent. The food is truly unique, and the service is friendly and helpful. The only obstacle was that the reception didn't have our online reservation in their computer. Fortunately we had a record of it on our iPhone. They took the blame,... More

This location is trendy, but doesn't feel as pretentious as the other Purples. I come to this location every couple months. My most recent visit was for Sunday brunch. There were not many other patrons at 11am, so my friend and I got to enjoy our mimosas quietly as opposed to the usually vibrant scene. I opted for something off... More

We've been here twice in the last few months. Unforunately, neither of us are into wine but we do love good food. Each time the place was packed but they were very attentive. I'd recommend sitting in the upper area, much less noisy. We ordered the bruscetta, pork chop entrees, and duck entrees. All were excellent. A little pricey but... More

We recently stayed in the Woodinville area for 12 nights. We ate at Purple 3 of those nights. John, the manager, is excellent at helping you find a wine to match your pallet and the steamed claims are out of this world. Don't pass this restaurant by. All the food is wonderful.
