Canlis

A Seattle fine-dining destination for over six decades, Canlis has kept up with the times without losing any of the ingredients that have contributed to its remarkable longevity. This culinary keepsake in the Queen Anne neighborhood was the first restaurant in Seattle to serve what is now referred to as “contemporary Northwest cuisine”. It likes to call its cooking “Comfort Geek”, meaning that it combines modern technique with a comfortable, approachable style. The quietly stylish dining room, in a two-story bluff-top building, combines contemporary décor with Asian antiques. Though you’ll find an array of fabulous menu choices, steaks from the copper grill, the Canlis salad and Peter Canlis’ prawns are perennial favorites that have been on the menu since 1950. There’s a comprehensive wine list, including delicious Northwest vintages. Reserve as far in advance as you can.
