My favorite Seattle Restaurant - a true Seattle Experience
Saturday, August 26, 2006
This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the city. I love the food, the location, the creativity of dining options (see their website), the decor, the service. . .
The waitstaff are ultra attentive and helpful. Every time I come here, I get the sense that my server sincerely cares about making my experience at the restaurant the best it can be. I am never rushed when I come here. The few hours that I spend having dinner here is an experience that causes the stresses and strains of the world to melt away.
They have a HUGE selection of wines. I usually like to pair my wines with my appetizer/course, so I rarely order a bottle here. The Sommelier is helpful and extremely knowledgeable.
I love many of their appetizers, especially the calimari, crab cakes, and oysters.
For the main course, my favorite is the Wagyu tenderloin. It is so tender and juicy - well worth the money. I also like the duck breast and lamb chops.
A great place to spend a long evening unwinding with a date or some close friends. Canlis is sure to impress, and leave a lasting impression on your palate.
