Best Seasonal Restaurants in Kenmore

Very innovative dishes (main and small) that were delightful. Ambience was subdued in high-walled, outward facing booths. It was a clever arrangement to accommodate larger boisterous parties and still have a romantic setting for couples. Service and presentation were flawless. Cocktails were creative, beautiful and delicious. Can’t think of one thing that could be better.

Wonderful as always. We come to Russell’s often and it was great to have our favorite server Rebecca with us for our Valentines date. Food is delicious as always. This is the best place for filet in the Seattle area.

The ambiance, food, and drinks were terrific. Staff was helpful and friendly. Definitely going to be coming back. 

Food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Adam, is the best! He’s attentive and really a great guy. He knows the menu very well, and as a heads-up, lets you know if something is a bit spicy The salsa trio is a must as an appetizer. My wife loved the enchiladas suizas. It’s a bit spicy but the flavor is excellent. And yes, Adam let her know it was spicy when she ordered it. I had the albondigas, which was one of the specials for the night. The meatballs were very flavorful, but the spicy broth they were swimming in was amazing. For dessert we had flan. Let me tell you, THE BEST flan I’ve ever had. It was firm and topped with a rich crema and had a pistachio “granola” sprinkled over and around it. AMAZING!

My husband surprised me with a pre-Valentine's dinner at Café Juanita, and it was an unforgettable experience. The service was impeccable, and the wine pairing was spot-on. The steak was grilled to perfection—something I rarely find when dining out, as it's often overcooked or undercooked elsewhere. The romantic ambiance made the evening feel truly special, taking us back to the early days of our 25-year journey together. A night to remember!
