The Restaurant & Terrace Bar at Salish Lodge

Seattle Restaurants With the Best Views | Eater Seattle

"Inside the historic Salish Lodge, guests can dine about as geographically close to the waterfall as possible without going over it, with a glassed-in patio to really immerse oneself in the vista. The newly refangled menus nod to the resort’s Twin Peaks connection via a midcentury undercurrent. With a view like this, the menus don’t need to be this impressive. But they’re going all out for the high-rollers here, with a short rib-loaded baked potato slathered in onion butter, Alaskan King crab legs, hollandaised asparagus, a jaw-dropping 14-day dry-aged Berkshire longbone pork chop, and an archetypal wedge salad with candied bacon and smoky blue cheese that’s straight out of 1953. (And, naturally, the Damn Fine Cherry pie for dessert.) The drink list keeps things unique, with Washington state wines, beer, and liquors repping heavy, and there’s also full vegan and kids’ menus too. If you’re staying the night, don’t miss the lavish brunch." - Meg van Huygen
