    Fantastic wine bar downtown with a large space to have a glass or a bottle with friends. The service is spot on and the servers are very knowledgeable. There are lots of wine to choose from by the glass or bottle (which you can take the remaining with you). There are several bites available. This time tried the meatballs and polenta and it was good and paired well with the red wine blend. They have happy hour options as well.

    Wow! I just happened by and decided to stop in this new wine bar. It's about a block or two away from the Pike Place market. I sat at the bar and had a difficult time picking out the right wine for me. The staff was super helpful asking me about what I like and landed on a great Cab, Abeja was my first glass and it was perfect. I had skipped lunch and they've got a great selection of food. I went for one of the Happy Hour specials, the Mac and Cheese and it was pretty good. The place is nice with a great ambiance close to the center of downtown. Highly recommend!

    Such a great spot. Lots of cozy spots to sit and enjoy wine flights or glasses. Lots of wines to peruse. Very friendly and informative service. All the wines are produced by women and/or members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. And the wines I tried were all delicious. I had the red wine flight consisting of a Merlot, blend, cab, and Syrah, as well as a glass of the WeRise cab. The music is mostly 90's and early 00's R&B from Aaliyah to Toni Braxton to DruHill to Keyshia Cole. All in all, it's a comfortable wine lounge that also offers small bites and beer, cider, vermouth, and non-alcoholic wines. And the location is very choice.

    The ambiance was amazing and cozy. Good music and lovely lighting with plush seating. The service was fabulous and the servers were all really knowledgeable and asked about allergies. The wine was fantastic and I love that they support women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ winemakers. They were out of some of the snacks so we didn't try the food unfortunately but highly recommend and will be back.

    Celebrate Every Day of the Year!!!!

Everything was delicious. Especially the lamb chops - super fresh and delicious. We also ordered the lemon blueberry cake. I typically don't prefer lemon desserts but this was SO GOOD! Light and fluffy, almost like a light cheesecake. Service was outstanding. Our server coursed out our food perfectly. He checked on us consistently but was also aware that we were catching up, so he didn't interrupt unless needed. The location is right in the middle downtown and had a great vibe. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Seattle.

    PRE-CRUISE! 4.0…read more A cruise to Alaska is what brought us to Seattle! A day before embarkation, we decided to stay one night downtown, and Purple was conveniently located just across the street from the Fairmont Hotel and within walking distance of several hotels in the area. One of the reasons we chose this restaurant was its selection of vegetarian options, which was especially appreciated by our close friend. The vibe is quite inviting: dark wood and rich décor create a cozy atmosphere, while the tall windows flanking the front and side of the restaurant keep the space feeling open and airy. The bar is definitely the centerpiece of the room, featuring a dramatic two-story circular staircase adorned with hundreds of bottles of wine. We started the evening with a round of cocktails, just getting warmed up for the unlimited drinking that awaited us on the cruise. Our drinks were well crafted and enjoyed by all. For dinner, we had: * House Cut Fries * Beet Salad * Braised Short Rib ~ pappardelle, port cream, blistered tomato and sage * Shiitake & Pesto ~ orecchiette, scallion-cashew pesto, snap peas and Calabrian chili crisp * Bistro Burger ~ pure country beef, sharp white cheddar, crispy onions, black pepper & chive aioli and arugula * Risotto ~ stracciatella, zucchini, maitake mushroom, poblano and basil * Crème Brûlée ~ vanilla bean, turbinado sugar Everything was good; however, the service was even better. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the pacing of the dishes was perfect. Nothing felt rushed, yet we were never left waiting. Purple makes a great date-night spot, but it's equally well suited for gathering with a group of friends or co-workers. It's a lively, happy spot with a welcoming atmosphere; the perfect place to begin a Seattle stay before setting sail for Alaska.

    I rarely leave one-star reviews because I usually choose places I genuinely enjoy--but this…read moreexperience was beyond irritating and disappointing. This used to be one of my favorite spots at Pike Market. For years, I made it a tradition to bring out-of-town guests here. Over time, I have brought more than 100 people here. It had a charming, warm, and welcoming feel--like a hidden gem in the city. It oozed with kindness and fun. Unfortunately, that has completely flipped! Since the new manager, Anthony, took over, the entire atmosphere has shocked me. What was once inviting now is rigid, cold, and unwelcoming. The biggest issue, however, was the way I was treated. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, which was both surprising and disappointing given my long history with this place. Great establishments are built not just on food or ambiance, but on how people are treated--and that piece is clearly missing now. It's especially unfortunate because the rest of the team still shows glimpses of what this place used to be. Jordon, was genuinely kind and pleasant, but one positive interaction couldn't outweigh the manager's miserable attitude. It's hard to see a place that once felt so special lose its charm like this. I know the winemaker Paul is a great person - so it is hard to leave such a terrible review, but at the same time, if this was my place -- I would want to know what was happening behind the scenes at my establishment. I truly hope leadership reflects on how customer experience is being handled moving forward. Don't give money to places that have toxic attitudes and are joy crushers! Life is too short and far too precious! In the meantime, there are many nearby spots that consistently deliver both quality and incredible hospitality. Skip this place, and instead go to Browne Family Vineyards Tasting Room, The Lonely Siren, The Pink Door, Place Pigalle, or Maximilien. Those places are working very hard to create an exceptional experience!

The place is definitely a little tricky to find, and the door itself isn't quite as pink as you might expect! But once we found it, we were lucky enough to get a table for two on a Saturday without much trouble. We each had a drink, and I ordered the linguine alle vongole. It had a generous amount of clams and was really delicious. The food was excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere was even better. I'm sure this place gets especially fun in the evenings when they have live music and entertainment, although I imagine getting a table is considerably more difficult then. Honestly, I'm glad we experienced it for lunch because it was a great way to spend some time before heading to the airport. Overall, really glad we stopped in. Great food, great service, and a really cool atmosphere. We definitely lucked out getting a table, and I'd happily come back the next time I'm in Seattle. Five stars!

I got the popular lasagna, and it was so good but very small. The cioppino was the perfect size and the bread it came with was perfect for dipping. So delicious, I highly recommend! The cake was kinda hard so not the biggest fan, it did taste good but it didn't seem as fresh as it could've been and it didn't really taste like basil.
