Seattle's most celebrated fine-dining institution, perched above Lake Union with sweeping views and impeccable mid-century modern architecture. The tasting menu showcases Pacific Northwest ingredients with genuine artistry — the Dungeness crab and wagyu courses are benchmarks. Reservations book out weeks in advance and the dress code is enforced, so plan accordingly.
