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

Was told it was a top 10 US restaurant. It was not even close! OK food, but not worth the cost. more

Canlis is a beautiful restaurant. The views over Lake Union are incredible and the building and decor itself are glamorous - real 1950s style. But. The food is shocking.

Staff adequate, but you end up getting served by so... more

Canlis was the first restaurant we chose to dine at during our recent trip to Seattle. We were there to celebrate my DH birthday and we were not disappointed! Our entire visit there was very pleasant. The staff was attentive from beginning to end. The food was excellent. We began with the Dungeness Crab Cake and the Braised Short Beef... more
