Best restaurant (romantic dinner) in Kirkland, WA?

Anyone have any suggestions for a great dinner with a good wine list in Kirkland, WA? We're staying at the Woodmark Hotel and want a really special dinner.
I've heard Mixtura's has a nice ambiance.

Thanks to all for any thoughts!

    Cafe Juanita would be my pick, but it is a drive or a cab ride from the Woodmark.

      I second the Cafe Juanita recommendation. Classy and sexy with terrific wine list and aperitivi. In addition to being one of the best restaurants I've been to in recent years, it's perfect for the romantic dinner where you want to impress your date.

        Cafe Juanita is the only choice. It is an order of magnitude better than anything else around.

          I thought Trellis was not too bad either. It's also a short drive from the Woodmark.

            I was just about to post a review of Cafe Juanita when I saw your thread - my husband and I had dinner there last night to celebrate our first anniversary, and it was fantastic. Wonderful service, delicious food, and great ambience. Well worth the cab ride from where you're staying.
