Canlis Seattle — last visit was quite a few years ago before they change chef so this time the experience was completely different. New chef worked at several top restaurants in Tokyo so there are a lot of Japanese influences in the dishes. Beef was cooked perfectly, though a few dishes were a bit salty. Amazing view and great wine list. •

Canlis. My first visit in years. Honestly, it was a really good time. The food is smart, modern, and executed perfectly. A total change from past visits. The service is as on point as ever. I’ll definitely be back sooner than later.
