Tableside Preparations, Ranked From Most Impressive To Least Necessary - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Canlis has certainly lost its luster over the years, and unfortunately, that precious salad has gone right down with it. Sure, it’s an iconic pile of greens, but the tableside preparation doesn’t work. On most occasions, heavy pours of dressing render the lettuce sopping wet, or sometimes the ratios of bacon to pecorino romano ignite a salt bomb in the bowl. At the end of the day, it’s a standard steakhouse-style salad that you don’t need. Especially at $20 a person. Canlis opens up reservations in three-month blocks, so keep tabs on the restaurant's Tock page where they'll announce the date and time when the next month's batch of reservations will open up. If that doesn't work, check 48 hours in advance, as that’s when reservation deposits become non-refundable. And if all else fails, you can just walk in to sit at the bar for cocktails and snacks." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
