This is the perfect place to close a big deal or celebrate a very special occasion. A Seattle institution, Canlis has been in business since 1950, but a major remodeling a few years back gave the restaurant a stylish look that mixes contemporary decor with Asian antiques. The Northwest cuisine, with Asian and Continental influences, keeps both traditionalists and more adventurous diners content. Steaks from the copper grill are perennial favorites here, as are the spicy Peter Canlis prawns. To finish, why not go all the way and have the Grand Marnier soufflé? Canlis also has one of the best wine lists in Seattle.
