Canlis restaurant in Seattle, Washington,  is synonymous with celebration; birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, or just a great night enjoying elegant food and ambience. Residents from the  Pacific Northwest have held Canlis near and dear to their hearts for three generations.

I’ve been fortunate to celebrate my l6th, l8th, 21st and one other major birthdays that I choose not to detail (definitely milestone events) in their Seattle or Honolulu location, so you see I’m rather partial.  There’s a small executive office on the second floor, where my romantic husband surprised me for an anniversary dinner one year, filling the room with my favorite flowers.

As years go by, restaurants change their menus, but for me I always order the Canlis salad, Steak Pierre, shoestring potatoes, and Grand Marnier soufflé. Over the years, as new dishes replaced some of the old, many customers were pleased to hear that if they called at least one day in advance, they could still order Steak Pierre. That’s the kind of attention to detail that long time customers have come to love about Canlis.
