Went on August,Canlis, (Aurora Ave., Lake Union, Seattle, WA) Jason Franey Without any doubt, one of the best restaurants of the United States. The decor seems to be Frank Lloyd Wrigt or at least a follower , enormous windows can permit incomparable and incredible views at the lake, and of course to sublime the ambiance a pianist plays life.

Be careful which table you get, as this restaurant is all about the view. Although I made my reservation weeks and weeks in advance, and mentioned that it was a special occasion, our party of six was given the only table in the restaurant without a view. I called the day before and reminded them that I requested a full... more

Went for a lovely dinner celebrating my husband's finishing some writing. We shared the Pork Belly and Quail Eggs and it was outstanding and delicious.

The service was immaculate, if not a bit creepy and vampire-esque at times, and the atmosphere was wonderful.... more

We went to Canlis for a romantic dinner while visiting Seattle and everything from the view, to the outstanding service and the exquisite food was wonderful. Our server Chris, was so gracious and he made the evening very special for us. The hostess knew who we were as soon as we arrived and from that moment on the service is... more

I reserved for the Cache room for a special occasion and I was extremely pleased with everything about our visit - from being greeted by Mark Canlis, to the excellent and accommodating service to special requests. We both ordered the Sommelier Tasting Menu and it was well put together and cooked to perfection. In particular the seabass with tapioca pearls... more
