Description

Summary: Elegant service and a long wine program meet Pacific Northwest flavors in a hillside setting.

Canlis stands as a landmark dining room with a half century plus lineage, where the family ethos centers on making guests feel at home while delivering an unforgettable experience. The setting borrows from its renowned midcentury architecture, with floor to ceiling windows framing views of a lake and mountains. A long, world class wine cellar supports a Pacific Northwest menu that blends local ingredients with subtle Asian touches, all in a refined, piano driven atmosphere.
