There is no better Restaurant to celebrate a very special event. Perhaps, a wedding, anniversary or birthday. Cafe Juanita is possibly the best restaurant in the entire Puget Sound Region. Every dish on the menu is excellently prepared, exactly to your request.
2. Pen Thai Restaurant

I hadn't been in a while and went for a work dinner recently. This is still the best Thai in the area and all the food was excellent. Only reason I don't rank 5 stars is the service can be slow. S

We bravely walked into the bakery, knowing that we would find something to hold us over until dinner - and yes, we were successful. Had a fresh apple fritter and a cookie. Also found presents we just had to buy for our friends!

Starbucks is so good because you can always count on the consistancy. We live within walking distance, so every once in a while we'll take an hour off from yard work, and walk over for a treat! I persoanlly don't like the sugary drinnks, but just nice black cup of coffee along with a small treat is always a pick me up after working so hard! Friendly employees, and good service, just like usual!

We love this place. Amazing summer outdoor seating. Also good indoor warehouse seating in the winter. A fun place to meet family and friends. We go most Wednesdays fir trivia at 7:30. Kids are welcome and there are games fir the older ones. Their food is not to taste. I find the way it is spiced unusual and and not in a good way. There really isn't a single option that isn't "stylized". But I do love this place.

I took my granddaughters for Daddy's donuts after school today, and they were very delighted! Daddy makes fresh mini donuts and puts them in a cup with wonderful toppings. The girls chose Confetti Eddies, which are covered with cinnamon sugar and served with whipped cream and mini M & Ms. They also make great espresso drinks!
7. Crystal Creek Cafe

We visited Crystal Creek Café due to the good reviews; very disappointed. The ambience was pleasant, but the meal was terrible. I ordered the Turkey dinner, as pictured above, and my husband ordered the meatloaf dinner. Both were colorless, the mashed potatoes were watered down instant potatoes, the gravy was a packaged cream color. Both meals looked to have been microwaved and mine was cool to medium in temperature. The size of the coffee cup was doll like in appearance.
We would have returned the food had we not been in a hurry....for the price someone needed to show a lot more interest in the food.

I was visiting some friends in the Kenmore area, not having time to make dinner, they ordered here and got a delivery...faster than most. I was not going to have some, but the aroma enticed me. Coming from New York, we are kinda pizza snobs...lol! I had a slice....I died and went to heaven...wow! the sauce was spot on perfect with the yeasty crust. Not doughy, but like an airy pretzel...the toppings were fresh and it was hot...the service was professional and friendly. :) so impressed! I am a new loyal customer :)
9. Kidd Valley Hamburgers

I have always loved Kidd Valley but we don't go there much, since moving away from Kirkland. Alderwood Mall's location closed several years ago, and sadly i didn't know that there were anymore locations near us. So while we were in Kenmore, we were driving around trying to find a place to eat and I spotted Kidd Valley. We figured out we were in for a "normal" meal, but, we were just amazed by the service that we received. I don't know the guy's name, but he was excellent. He was better than a lot of waiters we've had at some restaurants. He not only brought out our food, but he refilled our drinks and put our trash away. Hours later after we had been home for a while, my husband found some coupons and said that we should go there more often. Believe me, that is saying a lot.
10. Amaro Bistro
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 114 reviews
Reviewed By SC98011 - Seattle, Washington
Fairly streamlined (limited) menu of Italian themed dishes. Our party ordered the Salmone (Salmon) Sandwich, the Amaro Burger, and the Risotto Special (prawns and veggie). Salmon was cooked well, but very over-dressed. Fries were great, very crispy. Burger cooked perfect - medium well. Risotto was salty, but had good flavor. Service was attentive and friendly. Nice place and will come again.
