Canlis, Seattle

The most distinguished restaurant in Seattle stands above others for its impeccable service ethic, superlative Northwest cuisine and hillside Lake Union views. For 60 years, this Seattle institution has been where lovers pop the question and wealthy arts patrons hobnob. There's a superb multi-course tasting menu on offer for $115, but we prefer selecting our favorite dishes à la carte—mussels with Osetra caviar, lamb saddle with ramps and yellowfin tuna with haricots verts. And don't forget, Canlis' dress code—a rarity in Seattle—means men should don at least a sport coat.
