Purple Cafe and Wine Bar in Woodinville is a little smaller than its sister in Kirkland, but the food is just as good, and I would say the service is just a tad better as well.
We had a 6:30 reservation but were starving and arrived at 6:00, thinking we could have a drink and appetizer at the bar, but the hostess politely and quickly went ahead and seated us at our table. The restaurant was almost full, and there were people waiting, so it was quite nice to get seated so fast.
The wine flights are a fun way to sample new-to-you wines, but the wine list is extensive should you wish to have a glass of one of your favorites.
The food is good and moderately priced. The grilled cheese appetizer with tomato basil soup is to-die-for.
