Best Restaurants for People Watching in Woodinville

Outstanding meal and service. Our server Brian was attentive but not overbearing, very knowledgable and super friendly, fantastic!

Loved our date at Ristorante Paradiso! Best of all, the staff was able to seat us in the exact spot I asked for on the reservation booking. It meant so much to me as that was a special date night! Loved the food, wine and staff. Very happy with our experience!

Service was outstanding! Food was great and value was good.

I have seen the light, and it is in a glass. The Brown Butter High at Whiskey by John Howie isn’t just a drink—it’s a life-altering experience. If smooth, buttery bourbon had a love child with the most decadent dessert you’ve ever tasted, this would be it. From the very first sip, I felt like I had been personally hugged by a warm, slightly tipsy angel. The brown butter adds this silky, almost sinful richness, like someone melted a stick of gold and mixed it with liquid confidence. The bourbon? Oh, that deep, smoky magic glided down so effortlessly I briefly considered asking if they offer it by the bucket. Halfway through, I caught myself staring lovingly at the glass like it was my soulmate. By the end, I was contemplating writing a heartfelt thank-you letter to the bartender. Final verdict: Best. Drink. Ever. If you don’t try it, we can’t be friends.

We enjoyed a lovely Valentine's Day dinner. Great menu, delicious food and beautifully served.
