About

Bar: Full bar

Seattle's landmark restaurant since 1950, Canlis sits on a hilltop with a midcentury-modern building designed by architect Roland Terry. It won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine Program in 2017 and a Beard Icon Award for design in 2019. As a Relais & Châteaux member, it serves contemporary Pacific Northwest fare with an emphasis on seafood and American cuisine.

Reservations are required for the main dining room, but the lounge is walk-in only and more casual. Dress code is enforced. It's dog friendly and has a full bar. If you're looking for another Seattle classic, The Pink Door is a great spot nearby.
