I have lived in the Seattle area for the better part of 38 years and this place is fabulous. The service is top noch, ask for Kristen as your server if possible. This Professional food server knew the menu backwards and forwards. I had the lamb and Bonnie had the Risotto and we were amazed. The dressing on the salads prior to the meals was one of a kind. Most of these four and five star restaurants have flavors that are very good but so rich you can't finish them. Not the case here, Holly the chef and owner puts it together perfect and I mean everything, service, food, and ambience. Cafe Juanita will be on our list for one of eastsides greats, well for that matter Washingtons greats. Try it you will love it if you have any sense of great taste.
Pros: Have the lamb, or the rabbit, or the....oh what the heck try them all.
Cons: Wish I would have known this place was here earlier!
