Statement Designed by local architect Roland Terry, a pioneer of modernist architecture in the Pacific Northwest, Canlis almost instantly became an icon of Seattle’s modern architecture movement when it opened in 1950, and its austere mid-century glass and cedar modern facade still remains to gain recognition. The view from the dining room is almost as impressive, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lake Union, Gasworks Park and the Cascade Mountains.
The permanent legacy of Canlis has been a famous dining spot in Seattle for more than half a century. Brothers Mark and Brian Canlis are third-generation owners, and the restaurant won its first Grand Award in 1997.
Wine Strengths The wine list features a terrific selection of wines from Burgundy, California, Bordeaux, Washington, Rhône, Italy, Oregon, Germany and Champagne. While maintaining these strengths, wine director Nelson Duckip continues to add to the list in areas such as Friuli and Côte Roti, as well as in natural and orange wines .
Cooked For $125, enjoy four courses of regional American cuisine from Chef Brady Williams. Artfully presented plates include salmon in caramelized onion juice, pork with smoked plums and sweet and sour cherry with cucumber granita.
